Richard Carpenter - Time (1987)

This is Richard Carpenter's first solo album, and an outstanding effort. Every track is worthwhile. "Say Yeah" has a great rhythm and driving guitar chords. This could have been a hit single. I also like the song "Who Do You Love" with it's Beach Boys type harmonies. "When Time Was All We Had" is a beautiful and simplistic song featuring Richard's lead vocal and keyboard with Herb Alpert playing flugelhorn. The Song is a tribute to Karen. The album also had a top ten Adult Contemporary hit with "Something In Your Eyes" featuring lead vocal by the incomprable Dusty Springfield.
