Description
THE CARPENTERS (RICHARD & KAREN CARPENTER) was the biggest-selling group of the 70's. In 1966, only 500 copies were pressed of Karen's solo single, "Looking For Love/I’ll Be Yours." No fewer than ten of their singles went on to become million-sellers, and by 2005 combined worldwide sales of albums and singles well exceeded 100 million units.
Yet the Carpenters were much more than creators of beautifully crafted and hugely successful hit records. Within the space of just a few years their unique and inimitable sound had brought a new dimension to the world of popular music.
By 1971, the Carpenters were performing all over the world. In London, they packed the Royal Albert Hall during their first European tour. In America, there were sell-out appearances at such prestigious venues as the Hollywood Bowl, and in Japan they performed the first of what would be many sell-out concerts.
Karen's voice, Richard's arrangements and compositions, and overdubbed harmonies, all contributed to the Carpenters' unique sound.
