The Carpenters are a singing group composed of brother and sister American singers Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter. They were very popular in the 1970s and early 1980s. The Carpenters formed a band in 1965. On November 15, 1969, the Carpenters' single "Close to You" became a hit, and they enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s. Songs such as "Yesterday Once More", "Top of the World" and "Please Mr. Postman" are well known.

The Carpenter siblings are composed of the famous singer Carpenter and her brother Richard Carpenter. Karen Carpenter was born in Connecticut, USA in 1950. She has been under the influence of her brother since she was a child. She learned musical instruments and became a drummer. Her brother Richard, who was three years older than her, was a very talented young man who served as a piano accompanist and producer and composed a large number of songs. Later, with the help of the famous manager De Nuwen, he entered the American pop music scene. In 1970, the song "Close To You" topped the charts, making the Carpenters a hit. In the 1970s, they continued to release masterpieces and became the idols of countless American youths. President Nixon called the Carpenters The finest young American.

It is regrettable that Karen Carpenter passed away prematurely at the age of only 32. She died of anorexia nervosa. This is due to the serious consequences of her long-term use of laxatives and long-term dieting in order to maintain a slim figure. She died in the arms of her loving parents on February 4, 1983. Karen Carpenter has a beautiful voice, and her singing is kind, natural, and slightly sad. In addition, they use multi-track recording technology, so their records are very successful both artistically and technically, and are the masterpieces of contemporary pop music.
