@Billy Castillo: I like your idea! I could also go for "On Top Of The World" as a Carpenters ska treatment. How about "Let Him Run Wild"?

Except this lacks the unoriginal pretentiousness of "She and Him".

Good version. Not sure why American Spring never made it.

@WilsonVanGarneau Nice to finally meet someone else also Team Marilyn

I guess Marilyn could kind of relate to these lyrics.

American Spring's version waaaaaaaaay better than The Carpenters this is more autobiographical which makes it good. This song never really worked for The Carpenters but it's still good

someone needs to put together a fantasy duet with American Spring and Karen Carpenter

@pmoyer50 - Marilyn Wilson was Brian Wilson's wife and is the mother of Carnie and Wendy Phillips.

Both Marilyns and Karen (Carpenters) vocals are excellent on this number. I probably prefer Marilyns, I like the middle alternate change of tonality she uses. I do not understand the comment below, myself, about Marilyn singing flat, at all. She *does* use different tonalities to the original (karens) at times, and I'd bet Brian directed those, some of which are very subtly chosen. The other possibility is that some people hear 'sharp'!?

Great vocals by Marilyn. Great production by the best in the business ever. They should have done far far more together if this was the end product.

I'm surprized by how much I like this version with Marilyn. Karen set the bar impossibly high, so there's absolutely no point in making a comparison. This is what it is, and that is very good in it's own right.

i just happened upon this vid on youtube......does anyone else realize this singer is singing flat?
