delaney bramlett
"superstar", written by bonnie bramlett and leon russell, became the duo's next hit. the song had originally appeared on joe cocker's 1970 album "mad dogs & englishmen", sung by rita coolidge. karen was familiar with the album, but richard first heard the song when it was covered by bette midler on "the tonight show", and realised its potential as a carpenters hit. the duo changed the line "i can hardly wait to sleep with you again" to "... to "be" with you again", as they knew the former would not be played on top 40 radio. the single sold a million copies, attaining gold status, and became the carpenters' third no. 2 single on the "billboard" hot 100 (this time held off the top spot by rod stewart's "maggie may" / "reason to believe"). on may 14, 1971, the carpenters performed a sell-out show at carnegie hall, and they released their third album, "carpenters" the same day. it became one of their best sellers, earning riaa certification for platinum four times, and rising to no. 2 on "billboard"s pop album chart for two weeks (behind carole king's "tapestry") with over a million pre-sales orders. the album won a grammy award, as well as receiving three nominations. the a&m graphics department hired craig braun and associates to design the cover. "i recognized it to be a great logo as soon as i saw it", says richard. the logo was used on every carpenters album thereafter; richard said it was done "to keep things consistent". the logo did not appear on the front cover of "passage" but a small version appeared on the back cover.
