Carpenters - Eve video free download
In the liner notes for "From The Top," Richard explains how he and John Bettis wrote "Eve." "Eve" written in 1968, was inspired by an episode of a suspense anthology that was on TV at the time. Different stories were featured each week with a variety of guest stars. One starred Carol Lynley and was entitled "Eve." This triggered in me the opening lines both lyrically and musically, after which I completed the melody and John did likewise with the lyrics.
========================================
Karen was just 19 years old when she recorded "Eve."
========================================
"Eve" was the first episode of a British suspense anthology television series called "Journey to the Unknown. The story occupies the half-world between reality and madness. It involves a department store window dresser named Albert Baker, who has fallen in love with a store-window mannequin. To Albert, "Eve" is a real person, but his love is threatened when she is doomed to be destroyed with other discarded mannequins. Was "Eve" ever anything but a store mannequin? Or did she really come to life for Albert?

This makes me think of Sondheim's "Evening Primrose" and also the 80's T.V. show called "Today's Special". Something magical about the idea of mannequins coming to life once the workers have gone home.And to baby10215....that is a really terrible and ignorant thing to say about Richard. It is true that Karen's voice and raw talent was what brought fame and visibility to the Carpenters. And this is coming from an obsessed and devout Karen Carpenter fan. However, Richard was the mastermind behind the operation with his meticulous arrangements and vision as record producer. Furthermore, he brought his own talent to the table, being an amazing pianist. He does not get the credit he deserves.9 years ago

Poignantly beautiful song, always one of my favorites and little heard. The scenario for it's inception sounds suspiciously like the later movie "Mannequin" (1987) with Andrew McCarthy. Interesting!10 years ago

Kudos Ned - Keep up the good work, In my opinion KC will be imitated but never completely duplicated. KC was one of a kind. RC in my opinion will always be a great artist. I am sure he misses his sister every day. I know i do.11 years ago
