From their legendary fourth album from 1972 "A Song For You". Much can be said about this classic album, but I think just mentioning the innovation of the album is well enough. Because it is VERY innovative.
"Goodbye To Love" was a shocker for alot of people aware of Carpenters recordings. It created a stir with Easy Listening listeners, but opened up an appeal from a Rock crowd. This song is the first of what became to be known as the "Power Ballad". Karen's flawless, beautiful vocals are the highlight
