18. If I Had You (recorded 1980, released 1989)
The day before she died, in February 1983, Karen Carpenter rang producer Phil Ramone to discuss âour fucking recordâ â the 1980 solo album her label refused to release. When its contents were unveiled on posthumous Carpentersâ albums, their decision appeared baffling, as evidenced by I Had You: her patent brand of melancholy given a smooth, shiny funk makeover.
17. Touch Me When Weâre Dancing (1981)
Made in America (1981) was a cautious return after a hiatus provoked by Richard Carpenterâs drug addiction and the anorexia that would eventually kill his sister, but the single Touch Me When Weâre Dancing was great, very gently beckoning a hint of disco into the Carpenterâs luxurious sound world.
The follow-up to Tapestry was cut from a similar cloth – relaxed but intimate tone, versions of Goffin-King songs made famous by others a decade earlier, guest appearances from James Taylor – and was always going to live in the shadow of a predecessor that was still in the US Top 10 when Music was released. Its enduring reputation as a mildly disappointing sequel doesn’t do justice to the sheer quality of the songwriting: it’s hard to see how anybody could be underwhelmed by King’s reading of Some Kind of Wonderful, the old Goffin-King Drifters’ hit, or by It’s Going to Take Some Time (later covered in bittersweet style by the Carpenters) or indeed the expansive, jazz-inflected title track. Extra marks for the none-more-early-70s-singer-songwriter lyrics of Carry Your Load: “Thinkin’ alone on a Thursday morning of peace and love and war / I still don’t have any answers, but I don’t get high any more.”
Much has been written about managing through the lockdowns of the pandemic. But what can managers do to set themselves and their teams up for success when lockdowns and social distancing requirements are eventually lifted?
To explore this question, we surveyed more than 350 employees in Wuhan, China just three weeks after a strict city-wide lockdown was lifted in early April. The vast majority of the respondents had been forced to stop working when their employers shut down during the lockdown, and those employers were motivated to make a speedy return to normal operations while doing everything they could to avoid a resurgence of the virus.
