The Carpenters-brother and sister Richard and Karen-from New Haven, Connecticut- won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1970. “We’ve Only Just Begun” is the second of what would become 5 straight Top 3 singles they would have in 1970-71. Over their career from 1970-83 they would have 28 Hot 100 singles with 21 making the Top 40. Their three #1’s “Close To You” 1970, “Top Of The World” 1973 and “Please Mr. Postman” #74. I wonder at how many weddings over the past 50 years “We’ve Only Just Begun” has been played- thousands and thousands no doubt.

The photo looks just like my original copy of the 45 single.
I love the Carpenters but, this is the most overused wedding song, ever.
Yes I agree with that. I wonder if it is still being used?
Heh. Hard to have a wedding with COVID lockdowns.
