Great video series on the group


Justin details their early days prior to fame with location shots and interesting tidbits I never knew, although I was only a child during their heyday. He has a great series, very informative.

This looks interesting thanks for sharing. Karen was incredibly talented.

Her brother as well. In additional to their other songwriters.

Agree. Richard often gets overlooked, but as legendary as Karen's talents were, Richard was (is) a superb arranger. Those Carpenter's hits wouldn't have sounded the same with just Karen singing.

Oh yes ofc I didn't mean to take anything away from anyone I just had a huge crush on Karen. I find a woman with expertise on a musical instrument to be very attractive, combined with her crystal clear vocals I had zero chance to resist!

I didn't take it that way. I bet many guys did back in the day.

Cool, thanks!

He also has a series on Sam Cooke, Marion Davies, and William Desmond Taylor.
