The music of Richard and Karen Carpenter has remained ever popular since their first No. 1 hit “Close to You” in July 1970. There music was slick and easy on the ear, beautifully produced, and perfectly performed.
Richard’s arrangements, complete with Karen’s supreme vocal expertise produced a sound that belied the harmonic complexities often concealed within.
