when the carpenters covers cd came out in the late 80's richard carpenter was interviewed in entertainment weekly and said he and karen weren't sure they could do as good a job on 'superstar' as the bette midler original, and i thought, what a dick, he, of all people, should know that rita coolidge first sang it on the joe cocker 'mad dogs and englishman' lp. jeez.
