Musical Interlude: We've Only Just Begun (1970)

The Carpenters took "We've Only Just Begun", co-authored by actor-singer-songwriter Paul Williams, to #1 on Cashbox's pop chart and Billboard's Easy Listening (now Adult Contemporary) chart, and #2 on the Hot 100. It is also their trademark song.



Karen Carpenter was taken from us way, way too soon. The simplicity of the two-part harmonies she & brother Richard created has been hard to duplicate since.
