Once in a while an ad turns into a hit record. Paul Williams, along with Roger Nichols, composed a jingle (which could be expanded to a full song) as part of an ad for attracting young couples to California’s Crocker National Bank. Richard Carpenter guessed correctly it was A&M labelmate Williams singing the jingle, and asked if he and sister Karen could record the full-length tune. With the Wrecking Crew providing the backing music, this was the Carpenters’ second #1 easy listening hit.
