Amazing & legendary song!! Love love love!!💕🙌🏻👍🏻✌🏻🎶
Thank you, my friend! A must for the list: wonderful song ❤️🔥
This pretty much had to make the list, right?
An essential! A great song that couldn't be left out!
She was an epic drummer.
Yes she was.
That’s my favourite song of theirs as was my wife and I’s first dance at our wedding in 2003. Even now when we hear it on the radio we stop and listen and say to each other that’s our song
That's so beautiful! A beautiful memory with an ongoing reminder! What a gorgeous song for your first wedding dance. Just wonderful!
Such a gorgeous song - it’s the aural equivalent of a hug!
It really is - so warm and inviting 🥰
This might be my favorite Carpenters tune. ❤️
It's such a wonderful song and a classic! An essential for my fave 15 ❤️🔥
Top of my list. She’s such a tragedy.
A truly wonderful song! And such a tragedy that Karen passed so young, with all that talent, charm and kindness.
I love this one 🤩🎶!
Thanks, Julie! It's such a wonderful song and a classic!
Such an absolute classic. 😎🎵🖤💙🖤💙
Thanks, Jamie! Classic and essential: so good! ❤️🔥
You're welcome. It made me remember using a Carpenters song in a short story I wrote in my Junior year in college. 😎💙
Oh wow, was this the song, or a different one?
Different song - it's funny bc I have not thought about that story in a long time so thank you for that. 😎
You're welcome, my friend! I wonder if the actual song will turn up later in my fave 15??? 😁
I don't know - we shall see. I will let you know if it does, ha ha.
There are a lot of songs to choose from! I've left out so many I love!
Well, they have a huge discography!
They do! It was fun listening through it. I confess I lean towards the ballads, & the more melancholic the better (wait till you get to my top 5! 😭😂). They best show off Karen's sublime vocals. So I don't have Please Mr Postman, Sing or Top Of The World in my fave 15, though I do love them 😅❤️
Great choice !
Thank you! A wonderful song and a classic! A must for the fave 15!
Karen looking a bit happier here.
Smiley Karen 😁
