In the liner notes for "From The Top," Richard explains how he and John Bettis wrote 'Eve':
"'Eve' written in 1968, was inspired by an episode of a suspense anthology that was on TV at the time. Different stories were featured each week with a variety of guest stars. One starred Carol Lynley and was entitled 'Eve'. This triggered in me the opening lines both lyrically and musically, after which I completed the melody and John did likewise with the lyrics. Karen was just 19 years old when she recorded 'Eve'."
========================================
'Eve' was the first episode of a British suspense anthology television series called "Journey to the Unknown". The story occupies the half-world between reality and madness. It involves a department store window dresser named Albert Baker (Dennis Waterman), who has fallen in love with a store-window mannequin. To Albert, Eve (Carol Lynley) is a real person but his love is threatened when she is doomed to be destroyed with other discarded mannequins. Was Eve ever anything but a store mannequin? Or did she really come to life for Albert?
