"Superstar", as youj probably know, was written by Leon Russell. Prior to my hearing the Carpenters' version, therre was a version out by Australian singer Colleen Hewett. Her voce is nowhere near as good as Karen Carpenter's, but she absolutely put heart and soul into it. When I eventually heard the Carpenters' version, Karen sounded insipid by comparison.
