Oh, man! I hated that "Chevy Van" song; I had almost exorcised from my memory. I liked ABBA, though - I even saw them in concert during their only North American tour.
it has a Weird New Jersey Connection Spinster Mary Ellis was the inspiration for the song. Her grave was preserved when a flea market and then a shopping center was built on the land.
I could usually refrain from changing the radio station when The Carpenters came on, but I remember immediately changing the station when hearing the opening vocals to Rita Coolidge's zombie-like cover of "Higher and Higher" - a song originally recorded in a rockin', up-tempo style by Jackie Wilson. By that time, I was usually listening to FM radio more often, though.

They had a money machine and locked her down like a championship filly racehorse on lasix with blinders.
The level of talent she had was just so awesomely devastating, I wish I could have heard her sing in a small club, when she could sing what she wanted.
Her pure, God given to us all as a gift voice still touches my soul.
Yeah. Not my kind of music really, but I agree with you, her voice was flawless, absolutely flawless.
