The Carpenters - Horizon
Karen's voice is unforgettable even on the lesser-known songs.

I have been listening to a new cd---Art Garfunkel--"Some Enchanted Evening"---I have all the recordings by Simon and Garfunkel, plus all of Art's solo Cd's [none of Paul Simon]--but this cd is very different to any of those--but I really like it.

And to my surprise-in the cover notes, Art writes..

"In this album, I confess I am under the sway of two magnificent singers, Chet Baker, and Johnny Mathis ".

While Chet's singing is an acquired taste at best, I must say Art should aspire to the phrasing and vocal flourishes of the magnificent Mathis. His Misty & Maria are two of his interpretations that remain unrivalled.

I agree with you completely Robert---but have you ever heard Johnny Mathis sing "Maria"???

Yes I have Marian, but Matt is my favourite singer, so his version of "Maria" is my favourite version of the song :wink: but the JM version is great too :wink:

Hi Terence, Horizon by the Carpenters is one of my favourite albums of theirs, especially I'm Caught Between Goodbye And I love You and Love Me For What I Am. :)

Hi John

Those 2 obscure songs you named are just great!

Heard them for the first time yesterday. Actually I prefer their non-hits as their hits have been played to death. Most of their compilations contain the same songs so I tend to seek out the actual albums to appreciate the theme.

I am going for Passage .....but it is only available in Japan now.

Yes Terence that is true--so many compilations -all with a different name, but the same songs over and over--I'm sure there are many unreleased recordings of Karen---just look at the last cd "As Time Goes By"--fabulous album.
