Top of the World

Top of the World / Heather - single:

The Carpenters song "Top Of The World" was a double delight for the Carpenters because it not only became another #1 hit in December of 1973, but it was also another song that Richard Carpenter co-wrote with John Bettis.

"Top Of The World" was originally only seen as a pleasant album cut, not worthy of being released as a single, but the public proved them pleasantly wrong.

"Heather" is one of the most beautiful pieces of piano music that I ever heard. I first heard this wonderful music on the Carpenters Budokan Concert television video, and later found out it was featured on the "Now and Then" album.
