In their move West, they met Lou Adler who introduced them to Herb Alpert, who signed them to his label, A&M Records in 1969. Richard gave the album this title because he doesn't like the term " greatest hits" because he felt it was "an overused thing". [8] He continues:

The music of "One Love" was composed by Richard Carpenter, and the lyrics written by John Bettis, in the late 1960s, when both had jobs at Disneyland. [14] It was originally called "Candy". On the television series Make Your Own Kind of Music, both Karen and Richard performed the song. Richard replaced the strings solo with a live piano solo for that performance.
