Ironically, one of the first power ballads was in 1972 - The Carpenters song, “Goodbye to Love” that featured a Fuzz/Heavy Metal-esque Guitar solo that was very “un-Carpenter-like”.Alice Cooper has said that the solo by Tony Peluso in that song was the best guitar solo ever.

Thanks - was not aware of AC’s comment.
I saw an interview with Tony Peluso who said when he first played his solo, he chose to play in a very smooth Carpenter style.
Then Richard Carpenter stopped him and urged him to play in an aggressive manner and “just let it loose”.
The rest is history...and paved the way for more “Power Ballads”.
