The Carpenters barely missed the top spot of the Billboard charts with "Hurting Each Other." The song, which focused on the pain of a troubled romantic relationship, hit No. 2 in February 1972.
Along with The Carpenters and The Guess Who, "Hurting Each Other" was also recorded by other artists. Richard Carpenter was quoted on his website, saying, "'Hurting Each Other' was originally released by Ruby and the Romantics, on A&M, in 1969. The Nick DeCaro arrangement combined a bossa nova rhythm in the verses, and a rhythm ballad feel in the choruses."
"I figured it for a hit. Wrong. Recalling the song a couple of years later, I rearranged it, and 'Hurting Each Other' became our seventh single release, and sixth consecutive gold single," Carpenter concluded.
According to the Facebook group, Top Golden Oldies, "Hurting Each Other" was the lead single from The Carpenters' LP A Song For You. It was edged out of the top spot on the charts by Nilsson's "Without You."
According to Billboard, other unforgettable Carpenters classics that just missed the top spot included "We've Only Just Begun" (1970), "Rainy Days and Mondays," "Superstar/Bless the Beasts and Children," (both 1971), and "Yesterday Once More" (1973).
The Carpenters continued to record until Karen Carpenter died in 1983 at 32. Richard Carpenter remains active in the music industry today.
