By The Carpenters. By John Bettis and Richard Carpenter. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Film/TV, Pop, Singer/Songwriter. 36 pages. John Ivor Holland #1111733. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1538951).Written by Richard Carpenter (music) and John Bettis (lyrics), “Top Of The World” was originally recorded for and released on The Carpenter's 1972 studio album 'A Song for You'. The song was initially intended to just remain an album track, however, when country singer Lynn Anderson’s version, released in mid-1973, was a success, the duo was upset that they hadn’t released their version as a single to begin with. The Carpenters’ version was later released as a single on September 17, 1973. Karen Carpenter re-recorded her lead vocal for the single release as she was not quite satisfied with the original. The new version appeared on the duo’s first compilation album, The Singles: 1969-1973. Featured in several films and TV shows (including 'Friends'), this evergreen feel-good song, arranged for flexible ensemble and adapted from a string orchestra version by Larry Moore, is sure to bring back nostalgic 70's memories for some audience members and hopefully create new, happy memories for those hearing it for the first time.
