While visiting London, Richard Carpter watched a 1940 Bing Crosby film on The Late Movie called Rhythm on the River. Carpter noticed that the characters kept referring to the struggling songwriter's greatest composition, Goodbye to Love. Carpter said, You never hear it in the movie, they just keep referring to it, and he immediately visioned the tune and lyrics, starting with:
He said that while the melody in his head kept going, the lyrics stopped because I'm not a lyricist. He completed the rest of his arrangemt upon his return to the United States.

While the Carpters were working on the song, Carpter decided that a fuzz guitar solo should be included. Kar Carpter called guitarist Tony Peluso and asked him to play on the record. Tony remembers: At first I didn't believe that it was actually Kar Carpter on the phone but she repeated her name again. ... It was at this point that I realized it was really her and that I was speaking to one of my idols. She told him that she and Richard were working on a song called Goodbye to Love, that they were familiar with Tony's work with a band called Instant Joy, and that he would be perfect for the sound they were looking for.
No, no, no! Play the melody for five bars and th burn it up! Soar off into the stratosphere! Go ahead! It'll be great![4]
John Bettis has said that Richard Carpter kept calling him, raving about the guitar solo. He was wondering why Richard was going on about the solo until he heard it. The lyricist said he cried wh he first heard the song because he had never heard an electric guitar sound like that. He said Tony Peluso had a certain almost cello sounding guitar growl that worked against the wonderful melancholia of that song. He wt on to say the way it growls at you, especially at the d was unbelievable.

The finished product was released on June 19, 1972, and reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first song writt by the songwriting team of Carpter/Bettis to reach the US top t. The Carpters received hate mail (claiming that the Carpters had sold out and gone hard rock) because of Richard's idea for a fuzz guitar solo in a love ballad.

One of the biggest acts of the Seventies, the sibling duo of Karen and Richard Carpenter were far from a self-contained unit. Lyricist John Bettis regularly collaborated with Richard and with him co-wrote several of their most successful singles, notably Yesterday Once More, Top of the World, Only Yesterday and Goodbye to Love. In 1972, the lead guitarist Tony Peluso played the masterful, melodic, memorable fuzz solos which transformed the soft-rock classic Goodbye to Love into the prototype for the power ballad. He remained a mainstay of The Carpenters' studio and touring band for the next 12 years and contributed to the studio albums A Song for You, Now & Then, Horizon, A Kind of Hush, Passage, Made in America and Voice from the Heart as well as their TV specials and their Live In Japan and Live at the Palladium recordings.

After the untimely death of Karen Carpenter in 1983, he became a talent scout for Tamla Motown and worked with Smokey Robinson, the Four Tops and Boyz II Men. In 1988, he produced the debut album by Prince associate Apollonia. Peluso subsequently moved into Latin music and assisted the Argentinian composer Gustavo Santaolalla on the Oscar-winning score for Brokeback Mountain in 2005.
A multi-instrumentalist, Peluso came from a rich musical background. His mother was the leading soprano for the Metropolitan and San Francisco Opera companies, and his father the music director for NBC Radio West Coast. The violin virtuoso Jascha Heifetz and the guitar pioneer Les Paul occasionally visited the family home. He started as musical director to US teen idol Bobby Sherman. In 1971, his group Instant Joy opened for The Carpenters. Peluso's raucous, hard-edged guitar made enough of an impression on the headliners for Karen to call him the following year when she and Richard began recording their fourth album.
Karen assured a disbelieving Peluso that he would be perfect for this song Goodbye to Love. In the middle, Richard says 'That's where you play'. I'm thinking: 'What would be right?' I played something that was very soft and easy, I tried to stay out of the way. Obviously, it didn't happen. Richard said: 'No, no, no, not like that. Play the melody for five bars and then burn it up! Soar off into the stratosphere. Go for it!'. He wanted an aggressive, sawtooth guitar solo in the middle of this Doris Day easy-listening-style record. I thought, 'he can't be serious', the guitarist recalled in 2002 of the two fuzz-enhanced solos he added to the bridge and the extended coda. Inadvertently, Richard had broken new ground. No one had ever really mixed the elements of rock'n'roll and easy listening. Totally crazy. I take a tiny bit of credit for being there and playing it, but it was Richard's great idea. From then on, it became very commonplace for a big power ballad to have a raging guitar solo.

The good-natured, versatile Peluso also provided the DJ voice linking the oldies medley on Now & Then in 1973 and introducing their version of Klaatu's Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day) on Passage in 1977. The guitarist had drawn Richard's attention to the eerie sci-fi-flavoured composition on the Canadian progressive rock group's first album. Next thing I know we're recording it. Karen had a great time. We all did. It's certainly not the kind of thing you expect from The Carpenters, he mused, adding: From a creative point of view, we all had a blast. Commercially? No, but I don't think Richard cared.
