In 1979, Richard took a leave of absence from their career. Karen didn't want to remain idol, so she decided to record a solo album. In 1980, the finished project was shelved because most people didn't like it. It was finally released in 1996 because Richard felt that it deserved to be heard. Recommended for die-hard fans only. Not that is isn't good, it's just a different kind of style that differs from the Carpenters sound. Making Love In The Afternoon is my favorite from the album.
