With their light, airy melodies
and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements that appealed to a variety of audiences, the Carpenters stood in direct
contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade,
scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles. Karen Carpenter's calm, pretty voice was the most
distinctive element of their music, settling in perfectly amidst the precise, lush arrangements provided by her brother
Richard. Though their popularity began to fade as the '70s progressed, the duo continued to make music together until
Karen's tragic death in 1983.

the Carpenters formed in the late '60s in Downey, California, after their
family moved from their native New Haven, Connecticut. Richard had played piano with a cocktail jazz trio in a handful
of local Connecticut nightclubs. Once the family had moved to California, he began to study piano while he supported
Karen in a trio that featured Wes Jacobs (tuba/bass). With Jacobs and Richard forming her backup band, Karen was signed
to the local California record label Magic Lamp, who released two unsuccessful singles by the singer. The trio won a
Battle of the Bands contest at the Hollywood Bowl in 1966, which led to a record contract with RCA. Signing under the
name the Richard Carpenter Trio, the group cut four songs that were never released. Jacobs left the band at the
beginning of 1968.

Following Jacobs' departure, the siblings formed Spectrum with Richard's college friend
John Bettis. Spectrum fell apart by the end of the year, but the Carpenters continued performing as a duo. The pair
recorded some demos at the house of Los Angeles session musician Joe Osborn; the tape was directed toward Herb Alpert,
the head of A&M Records, who signed the duo to his record label in early 1969.

Offering, the Carpenters'
first album, was released in November 1969. Neither Offering nor the accompanying single, a cover of the Beatles'
"Ticket to Ride," made a big impression. However, the Carpenters' fortunes changed with their second single, a
version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "(They Long to Be) Close to You." Taken from the album Close to You,
the single became the group's first number one, spending four weeks on the top of the U.S. charts. "Close to
You" became an international hit, beginning a five-year period where the duo was one of the most popular recording
acts in the world. During that period the Carpenters won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist of 1970, and had
an impressive string of Top Ten hits, including "Rainy Days and Mondays," "Superstar," "Hurting
Each Other," "Goodbye to Love," "Yesterday Once More," and "Top of the World."

After 1975's number four hit "Only Yesterday," the group's popularity began to decline. For the latter
half of the '70s, the duo were plagued by personal problems. Richard had become addicted to
prescription drugs; in 1978, he entered a recovery clinic, kicking his habit. Karen,
meanwhile, became afflicted with anorexia nervosa, a disease she suffered from for the rest of her life. On top of their
health problems, the group's singles had stopped reaching the Top Ten and by 1978, they weren't even reaching the Top
40. Consequently, Karen decided to pursue a solo career, recording a solo album in 1979 with Phil Ramone; the record was
never completed and she returned to the Carpenters later that year. The reunited duo released their last album of new
material, Made in America, in 1981. The album marked a commercial comeback, as "Touch Me When We're Dancing"
made it to number 16 on the charts. However, Karen's health continued to decline, forcing the duo out of the spotlight.
On February 4, 1983, Karen was found unconscious at her parents' home in Downey; she died in the hospital that morning
from a cardiac arrest, caused by her anorexia.

After Karen's death, Richard Carpenter concentrated on
production work and assembling various compilations of the Carpenters' recorded work. In 1987, he released a solo album
called Time, which featured guest appearances by Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick.

 


There's a certain inherent
sadness listening to this concise 12-song collection of the Carpenters' early hits, especially as it opens with
"We've Only Just Begun," with its hopeful, dreamy lyrics -- for it was never supposed to be definitive, just
the first of at least two such collections. But changes in the public's taste and a slackening (though never a
disappearance) of hits for the duo, and Karen Carpenter's death in 1983, made this the first and only real mass choice
for a Carpenters collection. Ten of the duo's dozen Top Ten hits are present, from "Close to You" to "Top
of the World," with their gorgeous and original slow ballad interpretation of "Ticket to Ride" and their
cover of Carole King's "It's Going to Take Some Time" thrown in to offer a slightly wider perspective.
Listening to this material, it's easy to accuse the Carpenters of being hopelessly retro even in their own time -- bear
in mind that "We've Only Just Begun" and "Superstar" being contemporaneous with the Allman Brothers'
At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach and you get the idea. But the lush melodies brought out in Richard Carpenter's
arrangements and Karen's singing are justification in themselves. [The 1999 reissue in A&M's Remastered Classics
series (#82839-3601-2) has a closer, toughened but warmer sound. Yes, the strings are brighter, to the point of
glistening, but the rhythm section (Joe Osborn on bass, Hal Blaine on drums) has more impact as well. Moreover, the full
original notes from the insert are now included, explaining how each song came to be discovered and recorded.]
