Carpenters Greatest Hits Album - Best Songs Of The Carpenters Playlist

The Carpenters were an iconic American pop/soft rock duo formed by siblings Richard and Karen Carpenter. Rising to prominence in the 1970s, they became known for their smooth melodies, Karen’s gentle and warm vocal style, and Richard’s talent for songwriting and musical arrangements.

Their music featured heartfelt lyrics and lush harmonies, creating a unique sound in the pop and soft rock genres. Karen's contralto voice, rich and emotional, was a defining element of the Carpenters' appeal, while Richard handled much of the arranging and played instruments like the piano and organ, adding depth and richness to their songs.

Some of their most famous songs include:

"Close to You"
"We've Only Just Begun"
"Rainy Days and Mondays"
"Top of the World"
"Yesterday Once More"
The Carpenters quickly gained worldwide fame and numerous awards. However, their career was cut short when Karen Carpenter tragically passed away in 1983 due to complications from anorexia, a loss that shocked the music world and increased awareness about eating disorders.

Although the duo no longer performs, their music remains beloved and continues to inspire generations.
