¿Quién es The Carpenters? The Carpenters, con sus nítidas y armoniosas melodías, hechas con arreglos meticulosos, atrajeron a variadas audiencias; contrastaban así con el ritmo fuerte del pop-rock de la pasada década de los setenta.
With a trademark sound highlighted by brother Richard’s multi-layered production and sister Karen’s timeless voice, the Carpenters set a new standard for melodic pop and became the top selling American artists of the 1970s.
