Carpenters - Sing

About "Sing"

"Sing" is a 1971 song written by Joe Raposo for the children's television show Sesame Street as its signature song. In 1973, it gained popularity when performed by Carpenters, a #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

Raposo was a staff songwriter for Sesame Street, and the song became one of the most popular on the program, sung in English, Spanish and sign language. In its initial appearance, it was sung by the show's adult human cast members (the most frequent lead singer was Bob McGrath) and Muppets, including Big Bird.

Barbra Streisand's 1972 version of the song was released as a single, reaching #28 on the Easy Listening chart and #94 on the Billboard Hot 100. Many other versions have been recorded by a variety of artists, including Trini Lopez, who recorded a Spanish-language version in 1972 that appeared on his album Viva. Bing Crosby recorded it with Fred Astaire on their 1975 album A Couple of Song and Dance Men. Crosby also performed it with Vera Lynn on The Vera Lynn Show on the same year.
