    O/T The Carpenters

    Any of you oldies remember The Carpenters from the 70's.

    Richard Carpenter just interviewed this morning 40 years on from his sister Karen's death.

    Just listening to their music, I think had they only arrived on the scene today they would have been just as successful and popular as the were in the 70's.

    She was nowhere near the size of Mama Cass Elliot, remember her June. I saw her in her last concert at the London Palladium when later that night she choked on a sandwich in her hotel

    I think Karen Carpenter had a fantastic voice one of those that you can instantly tell
    Who it is as soon as you hear it.
    I’ve only heard her music,I was a toddlerwhen she died.
    I wasn’t running her down only repeating a rumour I’d heard .
    (I only wondered wether it was true)

    I always had the impression that they were just a close family unit making the most of their talents.
