------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Carpenter composed the music for this song in 1966 when he was 19 years old. Frank Pooler wrote the lyrics twenty years earlier, in 1946, when he also was only 19 years old. The song Pooler had written was to be a Christmas gift for his girlfriend, whom he was missing while being away from her during a visit with his parents at Christmas time. However, their relationship ended before he was able present it to her.
Twenty years later, Pooler was the choir director at California State University in Long Beach, when both Karen and Richard Carpenter were members of the choir. Richard and Karen were performing locally during the Christmas season and had tired of playing the usual Christmas fare. Richard asked Pooler, their favorite professor, if he had any ideas for different Christmas songs.
Pooler remembered the Christmas song he had written many years before and mentioned it to Richard, adding that he didn't think much of the melody anymore. Richard said he would try his hand at writing new music for the lyrics. Within about 15 minutes he was finished creating a song, written by two teenagers who were a generation apart, that was destined to become a Christmas classic.
The song was first released as a single (yes, a 45) on November 20, 1970, and earned gold record status. This song sparked the idea of a Christmas album by The Carpenters, and on October 13, 1978, "Christmas Portrait" was released with this newly recorded version of the song. Karen re-recorded her vocals for the album version as she felt that she could give the vocals a more mature treatment. This newly recorded version was presented on their TV Christmas special in 1978, as seen here, and became a hit all over again.
Karen Carpenter - March 2, 1950 - February 4, 1983 (32 years old)
Frank Pooler - March 29, 1926 - January 19, 2013 (86 years old)

I'm sorry to bother but what key did you choose to perform this in?
You are welcome! This is in the original key (G Major) - down an octave for bass. Thanks!

I know you sing in this classical style and You're really good, but I'd rather hear gospel/pop singing, much less vibrato. Only to get the taste of it. It think your approach is good, but to dark for the purpose of the song. These are my irrelevant opinions xd. Good work as always
Haha no worries - thanks for the feedback! Always relevant, my friend. Appreciate it! 🔥
