Thank you.
People hear Karen’s lovely voice, and they don’t appreciate what an excellent arranger her brother was.
“We’ve Only Just Begun” was a Crocker Bank commercial. Richard recognized its potential as a pop song.
Fairly quickly in succession, they had “Close to You”, “We’ve Only Just Begun”, “For All We Know”, and “Rainy Days and Mondays” and they were established stars.
(BTW, when my mother heard “For All We Know”, she said Karen reminded her of a Big Band singer named Margaret Whiting.)
Trivia: “For All We Know” was the theme from what movie?
