The Carpenters' version of "For All We Know" hit number three on February 6, 1971, and remained on the Billboard charts for a total of 13 weeks. Their rendition was reportedly credited with popularizing the song and helping it to secure the coveted industry award.
Richard Carpenter calls the song 'one of my favorites'
He responded, "It's one of my favorites as well. No, I didn't have oboe in mind originally. We had run into Jose Feliciano at one of our favorite restaurants- and a music business hangout- Martoni's. He really admired our records and asked if he could play on an upcoming one."
He concluded, "The following day I received a call from his manager, an incredibly rude man who so much as ordered me to remove Jose from the recording. We then simply replaced the guitar intro with the oboe."
Karen Carpenter died on February 4, 1983 at the age of 32. Richard Carpenter remained active in keeping the Carpenters' legacy alive for years. He is a father of five and resides in California.
