In 1971, Richard Carpenter became aware of the song after seeing Bett Middler perform it on The Tonight Show. He made a a new arrangement of the song, with his sister Karen Carpenter singing lead vocals. Superstar by The Carpenters was on the Carpenters album Carpenters, released in May 1971. The song was released as a Single in August 1971, and became a Hug Hit, still loved to this very day (2024) and Beyond.

1969 CROWNING ACHEIVMENTS

1969 On July 20th one of mans crowning achievements occurred when American Astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon and uttered the immortal words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." . The opposition to the war continued to increase with more and more attending anti war demonstrations and demanding that the US withdrew from Vietnam. The music came from groups including the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and the Beatles and the most famous music festival of modern times "WOODSTOCK" took place on a New York Farm on August 15th to August 17th with more than 400,000 avid music fans attending to see the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills Nash and Young and others perform live. fashions reflected the anti war sentiment with military jackets adorned with peace signs, and other trends including long unkempt wild hair and headbands showed the feelings of anti establishment felt by the youth.
