Karen & Richard Carpenter perform “(I'm Caught Between) Goodbye and I Love You“ from their 1975 “Horizon“ album. This song, written by Richard Carpenter & John Bettis, is a fine example of the Carpenters “sound,“ comprising Karen's melancholy lead vocal, Richard's nuanced arrangement, and some beautiful K&R background harmonies. ******************************* Richard writes of this album on his website: “For Karen and me, the bulk of 1974 was devoted to worldwide touring. The only releases were 'Please Mr. Postman' which was released in October of that year and reached No.1 in early 1975, and 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town', released at about the same time. As we were following what was probably our most successful sales year, 1973, which produced both 'Now and Then' and 'The Singles', not to have an album ready for release in 1974 seemed dubious to me at the time, and ludicrous now.
