Karen Carpenter was getting a bit thin on the ground towards the end

Karen and Richard Carpenter were one of the great duos of modern music which unfortunately ended with the early demise of Karen .My favorite song was " We have only just begun to live"

They were a very talented brother sister duo. Richard Carpenter was a master arranger and innovator of the "overdubbing" technique. Karen Carpenter had the most gorgeous singing voice. Her untimely death from Anorexia was a shame.
My favorite song of theirs is "Superstar."

Richard and Karen Carpenter are one of my fav singing duos of all time. My fav song is "We've Only Just Begun".... I would say get the "Best of the Carpenters". It has all the top hits...I never saw them live, but on TV many times.

Oh man, go to Amazon or wherever and get a listing of tracks on their compliation albums. You know, "The Best of The Carpenters" or whatever.
They were HUGE in their day, so popular. Their music is often very melancholy though, so it may actually bring folks down more.

They were one of my favorite groups in the 70's. They became famous for a commercial with the song wev'e only just begun. It was for a bank and featured a newlywed couple getting their first joint account and moving into their new house. The song became so huge that it launched their career.
My favorite song is 'Top of the world'

I like Karen's song: 'why do birds'. I often think of it or hum it. Just a nice song by a nice girl, sort of thing.

First of all she didnt commit suicide, she died of heart failure due to anorexia.
My favorite song was We've Only Begun
