let's look into how this song was born beautiful song and vocal of carpenters continue to touch everyone's heart across the world they are duo of brother richard and sister karen nashville we visited the person in nashville, who knows carpenters since before their debut john bettis, songwriter, lyricist john and richard have been buddies of the same choir group in california state university they formed the band spectrum eve - the first song richard and john wrote together
richard and karen were appreciated by herb alpert, a&m record they made debut as carpenters in 1969 jim henson studio (ex. a&m studio) they enjoyed recordings in studio as they grew their capabilities each other they released their first single, ticket to ride which was cover of beatles hit in 1965 first album "offering" was released in october 1969 later, the title "offering" was altered as "ticket to tide" love generation was the band, formed by studio musicians in late 60's
bahler brothers had connected with carpenters before their debut they talked about carpenters their first us#1 hit whatever songs that richard arranged and karen sang became the very carpenter's song then this song was born, which ultimately became evergreen tune we visited the person in hamburg, germany, who was deeply involved in this song at that time he was doing concert in this town he is albert hammond, singer/songwriter it never rains in southern california was his masterpiece, known worldwide
he was the the original writer of i need to be in love albert and john worked together to form the song it took a while before they both felt good one day... they refined the tune before they introduced it to richard the person who was involved in their recording since their early days earl dumler, oboe player he always joined carpenters recordings with his english horn and oboe he used english horn for i need to be in love, which sounds lower tone
gayle levant, harp player, talks, who also joined their recordings since early days this is how this tune was born, which has the torn of classical music karen sang this song as if she was obsessed with this lyrics i need to be in love was released as second single from the album a kind of hush in 1976 they felt confident about this song, which has so many great pieces of carpenters but it didn't become big hit karen's vocal is so touching richard plays beautiful melody, resonating people's heart forever carpenters - i need to be in love
