Superstar - Fingerstyle Guitar
Welcome to my 492nd solo guitar video on YouTube, Superstar by The Carpenters. While I consider myself both a bebop guy as well as a hard rocker, I have inexplicably a soft spot in my heart for sappy love songs, I think my catalog of videos including "How Deep is Your Love" and "Baby Come Back" and so many others, let alone other Carpenters songs is proof... This one is dedicated to Dr. Rich!

From Wikipedia:
"Superstar" is a 1969 song written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell with a songwriting credit also given to Delaney Bramlett that has been a hit for many artists in different genres and interpretations in the years since; the best-known version is by the Carpenters in 1971.
Original Delaney and Bonnie version
Rita Coolidge came up with this song based on observing female groupies' relationships with rock stars of the late 1960s.
In its first recorded incarnation, the song was called "Groupie (Superstar)," and was recorded and released as a B-side to the Delaney & Bonnie single "Comin' Home" in December 1969. Released by Atlantic Records, the full credit on the single was to Delaney & Bonnie and Friends Featuring Eric Clapton.
"Comin' Home" reached number 84 on the US pop singles chart, although it achieved a peak of sixteen on the UK Singles Chart.
The original version finally surfaced on an album in 1972 when D&B Together was released, shortly before their marriage and collaboration ended. This version was also included as a bonus track on a 2006 reissue of the 1970 album Eric Clapton.
Bonnie Bramlett later re-recorded the song on her 2002 solo album I'm Still the Same. Now using just the "Superstar" title, she rendered it this time as a very slow, piano-based torch song.
Carpenters version
The song "Superstar" became most popular after its treatment by the Carpenters. Richard Carpenter became aware of the song after watching Bette Midler sing the song on the February 15, 1971 edition of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Produced by Richard Carpenter with Jack Daugherty, it was recorded with members of "The Wrecking Crew," a famed collection of Los Angeles area session musicians. As the song's storyline was originally more risqué than what was typical for the Carpenters, Richard changed a lyric in the second verse from "And I can hardly wait/To sleep with you again" to the somewhat less suggestive "And I can hardly wait/To be with you again." The track was finished in one take.
Karen Carpenter's vocal was praised for its intensity and emotional nature. David Hepworth commented about Karen Carpenter's performance: "Even with only half her mind on the job, she delivered a perfect performance. The guide vocal never needed to be replaced."
