The melody is borrowed from &ldquo;Plaisir d&rsquo;amour,&rdquo; a French love song written by Jean-Paul-Egide Martini in the 1780s, given new English words by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss.</p>https://6holeocarina.com/contemporary/for-all-we-know-carpenters/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://6holeocarina.com/contemporary/for-all-we-know-carpenters/<!-- Generated by scripts/import; regenerated wholesale on re-run.

Fred Karlin composed the music. The Carpenters released their version in 1971, and Karen Carpenter&rsquo;s warm, unhurried lead turned it into one of their best-loved recordings.</p>https://6holeocarina.com/contemporary/hey-jude/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://6holeocarina.com/contemporary/hey-jude/<!-- Generated by scripts/import; regenerated wholesale on re-run.

He has said it started as &ldquo;Hey Jules,&rdquo; a song of comfort for John Lennon&rsquo;s young son Julian during his parents&rsquo; divorce, before he softened the name to sing better. At over seven minutes, with its long singalong fade-out, it was strikingly long for a hit of its day.</p>
