The Carpenters: A (Re) Appreciation

My favorite song is that weird Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. I love that they did such a quirky song.

Y’all need to check this shit out!

Once you get past the artwork, it’s pretty good

That’s a cool wiki page. Thanks for pointing us there, @Gatopescado .

40 years since she died, wow.

And, agree, your OP is a beautiful tribute @JohnT .

I’ve always loved The Carpenters, especially Karen.

I will always remember the time I was having a panic attack and noticed The Doors’ “End of the Night” was a bit too dark, and played nothing but her voice, and helping. So soothing. I’ve heard a copy-cat, but nothing beats the real thing. I miss great singers in general and it’s too bad they’re all dead or unknown.

Some of today’s big stars really are pretty good singers, but it’s not always easy to tell because of the style they sing.
