    In case people didn't know, Paul Williams cowrote this song and it was originally a commercial for Crocker Bank. Later, Richard Carpenter, Karen's brother, got the right to re-record from Williams, who was now helping write songs for the Carpenters. The rest is history. Classic song. Can you imagine if this song was rendered obsolete along with an old obsolete bank, and commercial!?
