Artist Bio:
The Carpenters were an American music duo consisting of siblings Karen (1950-1983) and Richard Carpenter (b. 1946). They were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s, known for their smooth harmonies and Karen's distinctive vocal range. The duo achieved massive commercial success with hits such as "Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," and "Top of the World."
Karen Carpenter's tragic death in 1983 due to complications from anorexia nervosa cut short their career. Despite their relatively short time in the spotlight, the Carpenters left a lasting impact on the music industry, with their music continuing to be popular and influential to this day. Their music is often characterized by its soft rock sound and Karen's emotive vocals, making them one of the most iconic duos in music history.
