The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Ticket
To Ride
Ticket
To Ride / Your Wonderful Parade - single:
It's
been known that the Carpenters were Beatles fans and it shows
with the recording of their own version of the Lennon/McCartney
song "Ticket To Ride". The Carpenters version has a
wonderful nostalgic or almost slightly sad rendition of the song.
The
Carpenters "Ticket to Ride" single, while not an overwhelming
success at the time, did remain on the Billboard chart for about
three months. Apparantly
because of the "average" performance of the album "Ticket
To Ride" and its single, there was some pressure put on A&M's
Co-founder Herb Alpert to let the Carpenters go. Thank God Herb
recognized the potential of both Richard and Karen Carpenter.
Ironicallly, "Ticket to Ride" is now seen as a favorite
of Carpenters fans.
Ticket
To Ride was re-recorded in 1973, with Karen re-recording her vocals
and drum solo, along with the addition of Carpenters' guitarist
Tony Peluso performing on electric guitar.
