Went on a "Solitaire" jag today. Found out that the Neil Sedaka original from 1972 was recorded with 10cc as his backing band*, and that Karen Carpenter always hated this song, but recorded it anyway and Richard said/says it's one of her finest vocal takes.
*Listening to the whole 1972 Sedaka album right now and it's simultaneously CORNY and pretty great.

welcome to my world.
you are officially old now.
advise : buy the 10cc boxset.
"corny but great" : rule of mid-life chaos.
