Wholly unexpected, Brendan, but very nice indeed. My favourite Carpenters' song has to Bacharach/David's "Close to You" from 1970 ; Frank Sinatra does a very good take of it too on 1971's "Sinatra & Company", which works so well precisely because in character he is the complete antithesis to Karen's coy innocence - "close to you...", maybe, but you just know in Sinatra's case it implies much more. A night of too many martinis and a jaded morning after. Burt Bacharach did some succinct psychoanalysing on Richard and Karen's ultimately tragic symbiosis in a British documentary on the pair several years back. But who can argue with their purity of output ? Whoa! Wholly unexpected, Brendan, but very nice indeed.
