    Nice to see the respect shown to Karen Carpenter in this thread. Not all great voices sang in the soul idiom. And while in general I hate Xmas songs, Karen's take on this was really good

    Apologies if these have been posted but I had never seen them before. I'm guessing that they are outtakes from Jean's solo LP which Bobby Martin produced. They are only available on digital download...

    What I cannot understood is how the Motown execs canned I Had A Dream. This was a truly great tune anyway and letting Levi and Jean loose on it really paid dividends.
