Carpenters - A Song For You .jpg) .gif) By Peter Blackstock
Released at the height of the Carpenters' popularity in the early '70s,
A Song for You spawned five hit singles. Its title track by Leon
Russell somewhat surprisingly wasn't one of them given that it's probably
Russell's best-known song and later became a country hit for Willie
Nelson. Two of the album's most successful songs, the No. 1 smash
"Top of the World" and the Top 10 hit "Goodbye to
Love," were cowritten by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis; most of
the record's other material came from outside sources, including "I
Won't Last a Day Without You" (Paul Williams/Roger Nichols),
"Hurting Each Other" (Peter Udell/Gary Geld) and "It's
Going to Take Some Time" (Carole King/Toni Stern).
