Solitaire is a ballad written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody. Cody employs playing the card game of solitaire as a metaphor for a man who lost his love through his indifference - while life goes on around him everywhere hes playing solitaire. The song is best known via its rendition by the Carpenters. The Carpenters recorded Solitaire for the 1975 Horizon album; Richard Carpenter, familiar with the song via the versions by Neil Sedaka and Andy Williams, was not crazy about the song but felt it would showcase Karen Carpenters vocal expertise and Richard Carpenter would assess Karen Carpenters performance on Solitaire as one of [her] greatest adding she never liked the song [and]...she never changed her opinion. Solitaire did afford the Carpenters their twelfth of fifteen #1 Easy Listening hits.
