The Carpenters' fourth album, released in 1972, is widely considered their best work.
This album is said to have been aimed at being a concept album, overflowing with hit songs from the Carpenters' heyday.
The album includes many hits, including the title track "A Song for You" written by Leon Russell, a cover of Carole King's "A Little Bit of Love," and well-known songs such as "Top of the World," "Hurting Each Other," and "Saying Goodbye to the Lover."
