Hi renata,
Here is the quote from "from the top" liner note written by Richard.
Canta/Sing
IN EARLY 1973, KAREN AND I were guesting on an ABC television
special: "Robert Young with the Young". Also guesting were
Arte Johnson, Sandy Duncan and a group of the "young". One
of the songs featuring the cast was "Sing", originally written for
"Sesame Street". Karen and I thought the song could be a hit
(most of our associates thought we were nuts) and selected it as
the debut single from the Now And Then album. The Spanish
lyric was recorded a few months following the original, in
response to some affiliates' requests.
I hope this will help you.
You and I are lucky girls.
Karen sings "Sing" in Spanish and in Japanese!!

Really ENJOY Spanish & Japanese Versions of Sing ......
Richard Could Release Other Non -English Versions from Concerts & TV
Carpenters Spanish Album of Classic Hits and Some New Songs would Have Even Better ....Rather Like ABBA's Spanish Album (1980)
