The Carpenters - I Need To Be In Love (1976) (((Stereo)))
From the album:There’s A Kind Of Hush. Richard Carpenter had this to say about this song: “‘I Need To Be In Love’ with its soaring melody and melancholy John Bettis lyrics, became Karen’s favorite Carpenters song”.
Lyrics:
The hardest thing I’ve ever done is keep believing
There’s someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know
I used to say “No promises, let’s keep it simple”
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me
* I know I need to be in love
I know I’ve wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that’s what I’ll find
+ So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I’m wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I’m hanging on a hope but I’m all right
repeat *
repeat +
repeat *
Duration : 0:3:51

The guy who briefly checks Karen out at the airport (in the beginning of the clip) was a popular model at that time, and even guest-starred in a Charlie’s Angels episode that was supposed to spin-off into a whole series with Barbara Stanwyck: “Toni’s Boys”.

26 years since she died and I still love every note that comes out of her voice. This is one of my favorites. But I would not mention her name in the same breath as Jacko.

Karen Carpenter and Michael Jackson, you lived and died so far from love as we know it, but we felt it as if you were our own siblings and loved you more than any one human being ever could. Wherever you are in heaven, we hope you finally know how loved you are.

You, and millions of people.
Why did she not believe in herself and realize just how much her voice and herself of course,were loved by so many fans. Her voice was perfect.

Yes, this is true. Videos, although very uncommon back in the 70’s, there were a few artists who made them back in the day. Like Greg 8698 said, they were ahead of their time, let alone, talented!
