About the Song
"Sing" is a popular song created for Sesame Street that gained popularity when performed by The Carpenters. It has become one of the most performed songs on Sesame Street, sung in English, Spanish, and sign language. "Sing" was written by Joe Raposo, the staff songwriter for the children's television series Sesame Street. In its initial appearance, the song was sung by adult human cast members of the show, and Muppet puppets, including Big Bird. "The Kids" sang "Sing" for The Sesame Street Book & Record, a recording re-released on the 2003 Songs from the Street CD set. In early 1973, Karen and Richard Carpenter were guests on ABC television special Robert Young with the Young. The Carpenters loved the song and said in retrospect that they knew it would "be a hit". Their associates thought they were "nuts". The song acted as their debut single from the LP album Now and Then, released in 1973..    Download this sheet!
