It might not come as a surprise to anyone that I used to blast Karen Carpenter's version of this song in my car when I was in high school. 😂

The kindest man you'll ever meet, NeilSedakaMusic wrote out a sheet music chart for each of the songs we each performed that week and gave all 5 of us a framed and signed copy of our song. One of my favorite keepsakes from Idol.
