The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Rainy
Days And Mondays
Rainy
Days And Mondays/Saturday - single:
"Rainy
Days And Mondays" would probably rank as one of the best
"melancholy" songs that the Carpenters ever performed.
Whenever I watch or listen to Karen sing this haunting and
beautiful song I think to myself, "I can't imagine anyone
else ever singing this song". Karen has absolutely perfect
pitch on the words like "frown", "clown"
and "down". I almost cry when I hear the beauty
of the lyrics and the sound of Karen's voice.
Karen
Carpenter said herself that from the very first time she sang
"Rainy Days And Mondays" she just went into another
world.
Carpenters
band member Bob Messenger also adds a wonderful touch to the
song with his wonderful saxaphone sound.
"Rainy
Days" brought the Carpenters another Grammy for Best
Pop Performance by a Group. It certainly deserved the recognition.
