FORMED: 1968, New Haven, CT DISBANDED: 1983 Richard Carpenter 1946- As a pianist and producer, Richard's is a rare talent. It was by his talent and ability that the foundation was laid for the subsequent success of the Carpenter's Musical Family. When we think of Carpenters it is most likely that we would identify Karen's amazing voice as the dominate "sound" of the group, however, it was Richard's contributions which truly allowed them to achieve that unique sound. A good example of this is the album "Lovelines". It includes some Karen's solo works with Phil Ramone in 1979. While Karen's voice is as clear and beautiful as ever, the tracts produced by Mr. Phil Ramone do not have the same quality, or true "Carpenters Sound" as More... (Submit New Carpenters Lyrics) (Submit New Carpenters Lyrics) Review about Carpenters "Now Lyrics" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Now performed by Carpenters I have been searching for this song for so long, ever since I watched the movie "The Karen Carpenter Story", finally I have been able to down load it, it is the most beaautiful love song I have ever heard and Karen's voice just beutiful. My daughter is getting married in September and is looking for a love song for when she walks down the aisle and I will let her hear this I'm sure she'll fall in love with it as I have. I think it is a perfect wedding song. Greatest harmony....Carpenters | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Carpenters I was 11 years old when I first remember hearing the Carpenters, back in 1971. There are no other artists that I'd rather hear, than Karen and Richard. When Karen left, the world lost a natural, beautiful singer. The harmony is unforgettable. Cant smile Review | Reviewer: Harry ------ About the song Can't Smile Without You performed by Carpenters Yes, I was present when this song was recorded and Karens voice is so sweet and very easy to listen, the song its self pay tribute to her and her brother. Lot of love between both individuals. I am glad i the opportunity to meet both Karen and Richard. "Help" critique | Reviewer: Michael Re ------ About the song Help performed by Carpenters Awesome rendition of a great Beatles song. The carpenters really rock in this song. I love the synthesizer effect. I've played it in my car and some of the younger generation cannot believe it's the Carpenters performing this song. It should have been a hit single. I think it would have hit the top ten. In fact, the album "Close To You" (which is where this song is from), is an exceptional album. It's a keepsake album for one's music collection. The sweetest Voice Ever ... | Reviewer: Ahmed Heiba ------ About the song Yesterday Once More performed by Carpenters Unforgotable song 'Yesterday Once More', tow years ago was the first time i heared that angel's voice 'Karen Carpenter'. Karen Carpenter and her brother Richard Carpenter one of the greatest group in the music history. A voice so pure and "believable" | Reviewer: John Ricks ------ About artist/band Carpenters I first heard The Carpenters when I was in Vietnam. Vietnam was a very bad scene for many of us young men but the sound of Karen's voice and the Carpenter's clear and easy sound lifted our spirits tremendously! Karen will always be my favorite female singer and I only wish she were still with us today. I love her! Background on the song | Reviewer: Dave Hirschfield ------ About the song Mr. Guder performed by Carpenters Mr Guder was in charge of entertainment at Disneyland at the time the Carpenters were performers. They were not permitted to perform at Disneyland due to an appearance code in effect there. The group had long hair and didn't want to change their appearance. They wrote the song as retaliation and hired Cubby O'Brien (Cubby on the Mouseketeers) as their drummer. Even though this freed Karen up to sing without also playing the drums, she never considered herself a vocalist. Just a drummer who sang. Vic Guder was the best music instructor I ever had, as well as one of the kindest people I ever met. CARPENTERS | Reviewer: GARY K ------ About artist/band Carpenters Karen Carpenter had the sweetest and most natural voice I have ever heard. It still grieves me to think she had such a short time with us. I think she is the best female singer ever. I will look and listen for her when I get to heaven, Snorefest | Reviewer: Cliff ------ About the song Sing performed by Carpenters Japan is apparently behind the times, because they still think that every American knows about the Carpenters. I teach English to elementary students here, and my 6th grade teachers thought it would be a fantastic idea for us to sing this song. They were literally awestruck when I said I didn't know the group. Anyway, we listened to the song today. It's rediculous to believe that the 6th graders could learn in only 4 class periods. I mean, I wanted to jump out a window just from hearing it. one moment | Reviewer: hope ------ About the song I Won't Last A Day Without You performed by Carpenters This was "our song" when I was with the guy who I thought was one. When you find someone who can make the sadness and harsh realities of the world disappear, you are lucky. I feel fortunate to have had that for a little while and maybe someday I can find that kind of love again. This is SO my song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Goodbye To Love performed by Carpenters This could have been written by me. I know EXACTLY how she felt. I grew up listening to The Carpenters and have always related so closely to Karen. I miss her and her beautiful voice. Outstanidng smooth jazz tune | Reviewer: Rick Henry ------ About the song Guess I Just Lost My Head performed by Carpenters Karen Carpenter's solo album was just as good as anything she did with Carpenters. Most of the song's arrangements were done by the talented jazz musician Bob James and Rod Temperton (from the funk band Heatwave). Her solo album was primarily smooth jazz with hints of funk rhythms in the background. In "Guess I Just Lost My Head" Karen gives a stellar vocal performance which focuses on being upbeat and somewhat playful. Karen was moving into a new musical direction which proved to be quite successful for her. GREAT SONG ! GOOD JOB, RICHARD ! | Reviewer: Anh Phu ------ About the song Calling Your Name Again performed by Carpenters After Karen's death, in 1987, Richard released his first solo album, called "Time", include "Calling Your Name Again". I heard the song, and I can't belive from my ear !!! Richard sang very well , a good song, so beatyful ! I love this song very much ! Thank you, Richard ! Merry Christmas, Darling - A Christmas Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Merry Christmas, Darling performed by Carpenters This is one of the best pop songs ever recorded for the Christmas season. Not only does it capture the essence of "I'm missing you tonight on Christmas Eve" but the production values are astronomically high and the song exhibits all of the traits that made the Carpenters one of the best groups of the Seventies. The arrangements are spectacular, Karen's vocal is unsurpassed, and, like all good songs, it takes you on a journey, making you feel good, and then letting you land gently at the end, again with a superb example of the Carpenter's vocal arrangments with the final "Merry Christmas, Darling." Even after 34+ years, we still look forward to hearing this each Christmas season. Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere | Reviewer: G T ------ About the song Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere performed by Carpenters I believe the title to this song is All You Get From Love is a Love Song. Just looking up lyrics to a well-liked C. song and stumbled on this. Earth is miising an angel | Reviewer: Francisco Javier Garcia Millan ------ About artist/band Carpenters I am so sad of knowing that Karen passed away a long time ago . I am a mexican fan of her since I was 14 years old. Now I am 49 nine years old and I knew about her death just a few months ago when a brother of mine told me about it. I pray for her and I know that she should still be singing somewhere in heaven because she was an angel that was sent by our Lord Jesus Christ. NOW EARTH IS MISSING AN ANGEL, AN ANGEL CHILD CAUSE SHE IS IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW Earth is miising an angel | Reviewer: Francisco Javier Garcia Millan ------ About artist/band Carpenters I am so sad of knowing that Karen passed away a long time ago .

Brings back memories of thirty years ago. Kinda' hard to get hold of the song though. Have a collection of all carpenters songs but I don't have this one in it.
