The Carpenters

Hope you enjoyed it Brunette10 - I missed it but have several CDs so I didn't miss out. I love the sound of the Carpenters - Karen had such a velvet smooth voice and died so tragically.

I love the Carpenters ,we had" We've Only Just Begun" as our first dance at our wedding in 1975 and I always play it on our anniversary.She had a fabulous voice .If you haven't heard a singer called Rumer have a listen she's very similar you Karen Carpenter

Loving the programme, been cleaning my kitchen top to bottom with Karen’s beautiful voice keeping me company.

paddyann - that's my favourite too. That was the year we met, married in 1978.
That guitar riff in the middle !

Too many great songs to choose favourites. Love them all. Forgot how much.

Oh no the guitar riff was in Goodbye to Love, before we met.

These are my left-field choice Carpenters favourites:

Now

I Believe You

Can’t Smile Without You (Yes they did do it before Barry Manilow)

Bless the Beasts and the Children

Karen had simply the absolute best pop singer's voice ever - superb and a joy to listen to.

So sad that her parents favoured big brother and failed to recognise her talent.

There is a programme on BBC4 on Friday evening about the Carpenters.
