Now And Then





...it became our biggest worldwide hit




Now And Then CD Cover "Karen and I introduced an "oldies" medley into our concert show starting the summer of 1972 and it met with such an enthusiastic response that we decided to feature a similar medley on the upcoming album. It was around this time that certain radio stations were changing their formats to all "oldies". I thought we should write a song that would reflect this fact and also set-up" the medley". "Yesterday Once More" was the result and it became our biggest worldwide hit. Tony Peluso guests as the "D.J.". Another favorite cut on the album is Leon Russell's haunting "This Masquerade", which is a perfect match for singer and song."


- R I C H A R D   C A R P E N T E R

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
