The Carpenters, a legendary American musical duo comprised of the sublime Karen Carpenter and the masterful Richard Carpenter, have left an indelible mark on the annals of music history. Their signature blend of Karen’s dulcet contralto vocals and Richard’s impeccable arranging and compositional prowess birthed a genre-defying, soft musical style that has captured the hearts of millions.

Perhaps the greatest expression of Karen’s extraordinary voice – unshowy, velvet-smooth but ineffably sorrowful – was on Hurting Each Other. She fills the ostensibly upbeat opening lines with sadness, the drop in temperature at the end of the chorus – as she slowly sings “without ever knowing why” – is authentically shiver-inducing. 4.

There’s a Kind of Hush (1976) In place of a new album for 1978, a second compilation, The Singles: 1974–1978, was released in the UK where it reached No.2 in the charts. In the US, their first Christmas album, Christmas Portrait, became a seasonal favorite, and was certified platinum. Richard later said that the album should have been released as Karen's first solo album. It was shortly followed by the television special The Carpenters: A Christmas Portrait. [123] During the sessions, several non-Christmas songs were recorded such as "Where Do I Go from Here", which was not released until after Karen's death.

In 2007 and 2009, the current owners of the former Carpenter family home on Newville Avenue, Downey, obtained city permits to tear down the existing buildings to make room for newer and larger structures, despite protests from fans. In February 2008, the campaign was covered in the Los Angeles Times. At that time an adjacent house that had once served as the band's headquarters and recording studio had already been demolished and the main house was on the verge of being demolished. The original house was featured on the cover of Now & Then and was where Karen had died. In the words of one fan, "this was our version of Graceland."
