Artist Bio:
The Carpenters were an American music duo consisting of siblings Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter. They gained popularity in the 1970s with their soft rock and easy listening music style. Karen Carpenter was known for her distinctive vocal range and Richard Carpenter for his skills as a composer, arranger, and pianist.
The Carpenters released numerous hit songs, including "Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," and "Top of the World." They won three Grammy Awards and sold over 100 million records worldwide. Tragically, Karen Carpenter passed away in 1983 due to complications from anorexia nervosa, leading to the end of the duo's music career. Despite their relatively short time in the spotlight, the Carpenters left a lasting impact on the music industry with their timeless melodies and Karen's unforgettable voice.
