Its too bad that Manila has no official mucic chart up to now! Its the local radio stations doing their own music charts based on requests. Interestingly, when lovelines was released here "You're The one" reached no.1 to most FM stations. In one station alone, it hit no. 1 for 5 weeks. (Its a beautiful song by the way, and I consider her vocal performance here as the best!). When Richard Carpenter released his first solo album "TIME". "Calling your name again" was voted as a soon to be future hit, by a local POP station, It did! Tha song was a smash here, so did "Something in Your Eyes" with the late Dusty Springfield, "In Love Alone" with Dionne and "I'm still not over you" by Rich. In fact the album generated 5 hit singles here. This was the 80's the time when Michael Jackson released his BAD album and when Pet Shop boys had an equally succesful hit with Dusty in "what Have I done To Deserve This?".....Too bad Richard never releases another POP album just like TIME

Author: BOAT2SAIL [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:56:13 02/09/03 Sun I love Dusty Springfield. Her voice is absolutely magnificent. Probably my favorite song by her is "The Look Of Love". I wish Karen would have recorded that song. It amazes me at how popular the Carpenters are in Manila. I also hope Richard will release another pop album, I thought "Time" was an excellent release.
