... I Need to be in Love. This is good but not great. The tune is a bit bland but Karen's vocal range gives it a boost.
2. Solitaire. This is a Neil Sedaka song but Karen sings it better. It is classic seventies drama in song form. Brilliant.

singers, even the black ones, sounded a lot like the way she would one day sound. The music of singer-drummer Carpenter and her piano-playing brother Richard came to be called soft rock, but it's really just good, straight American pop.

5. You're The One. Very piano driven with lots of violins. It's a romantic song but predictable.

12. For All We Know. This one for example. This is way ahead of "Close ...
