Before that froot loop on American Idol Karen Carpenter had the definitive version of "Solitaire".

Another vote for Superstar. Back it up with the Sonic Youth cover.

Plenty of good ones but I’d go with Superstar.

I can't pick just one, she was one of a kind...
Goodbye to Love
Top of the World
Rainy Days and Mondays
Superstar
Solitaire
For All We Know
The poor woman really just wanted to be a drummer..she was talked into singing by her brother and the record execs. She was brilliant at drumming as well.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions
I had them fooled most of the time. But there’s one kid who’s dad used to DJ in college apparently and he got some. I stumped him on Santa Lucia but he got all 4 Carpenters songs
Song For You
We’ve Only Just Begun
Top of The World
Ticket to Ride
They really had no clue when I dropped Manilow I write the Songs
But they are up the early Afrika Bambatta . Sandstorm almost sent them into a frenzy. Then to make sure I got them going I played Freestyle and MARRS again along with Pixie sticks and a coke. I’m sure I’ll get some complaints tomorrow

My Eighth grade graduation song- We've only Just Begun.

Ok, I'm down the Carpenters rabbit hole.
What's amazing is most of these are doing it phonetically in a second language...
Richard Carpenter with the Filipino Karen Carpenter singing "I Need To Be In Love".
Another great sound alike singing "Superstar"
Yet another singing "Rainy Days and Mondays".

A very young MMM's very first rock concert was The Carpenters in 1972. They were amazing.

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Was on a cruise that had a band that played nothing but Carpenters music. They said that on many songs, Karen recorded it on 1 take
Her nickname was "One take Karen". Professional beyond her years and enormously talented, she must have been a producer's dream.
Today's singers aren't in her league. Few are.
