The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Sing
Sing
/ Druscilla Penny - single:
I
originally thought that the Carpenters heard the song "Sing"
from Sesame Street. Apparantly though, the first time both
Karen and Richard heard the classic Joe Raposo song was on
the set of the ABC Television Special "Robert Young With
The Young" in 1973.
The
Carpenters rendition of "Sing" is in my opinion
the best version I've ever heard of this wonderful song. It's
such a great rendition that even the folks at Sesame Street
thought it was good enough to be on one of their own Sesame
Street albums. I also know that Karen Carpenter was a big
fan of Sesame Street itself because she mentioned it on-stage
in the TV concert the Carpenters did in Holland.
From
what I understand, the Carpenters never actually appeared
on Sesame Street or the Muppet Show, but that would have been
neat.
