Biography

The Carpenters were the US-born Grammy-winning duo whose string of easy-listening hits in the 70s, including “(They Long To Be) Close To You”, “We've Only Just Begun” and “Goodbye To Love”, put them among the best-selling acts in music.

Brother and sister Richard and Karen Carpenter first tried to launch their musical career in the mid 1960s but it was not until 1969 that they were signed to A&M… Read more in Amazon's Carpenters Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A+...nothing like that voice, February 13, 2000

Susan Lund (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classics (Audio CD)

No matter how many Streisands and Dions we get, there has never been a voice or a way of interpreting a song like Karen Carpenter. Last, but defintely not least, is Richard's wonderful arrangements and musicality. This duo was the best of all time, in my opinion. Sadly missed. I wish that Richard would grace us with more music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Carpenters collection, April 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Classics (Audio CD)

The Carpenters were a staple in pop music in the 1970's. These classic tracks, such as Sing, Yesterday Once More, Superstar, and We've Only Just Begun are pure pop gems. The musical arrangements are perfectly crafted, and complimented so well by Karen's beautiful lush alto voice. These songs endure very well. Highlights on the album include the hits previously mentioned; For all we know (it has been played at many a wedding); and Goodbye to Love (the guitar solo at the end really jams!). There are very few weak spots (among them their interpretation of "This Masquerade"). Just light the candles, pour the wine, put on the CD, and you are in for one romantic night. It is just unfortunate that the Carpenters don't receive the airplay any more that they deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would recommend it to anyone.
It's a nice c.d. which I enjoyed playing. Karen's voice is pure and innocent.
