Description:
This revamped version of the Carpenters' two original Singles LPs stands as the definitive single-CD collection of the beloved duo's hits.
It's often forgotten that The Carpenters were the #1 selling American music act of the 1970's. During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen found their niche producing a distinctively soft musical style that made them among the best-selling music artists of all time.
Included here are most of the reasons Karen Carpenter's bring-the-pain vocals are still revered by thrift-shopping college kids and their moms alike.
Despite the act's squeaky-clean image, Karen was of course more than touched by tragedy; at least one of the more hopeful of these tunes, "For All We Know," has doubt built right into its title.
The best of this is smart, cry-in-your-Evian pop that sounds a lot less dated than it might in your memory. "Close to You" and "Hurting Each Other" are actually soulful claims on their then-new soft-pop tradition, while the towering "Goodbye to Love" is worthy of Rumours-era Christine McVie.
1969-1981 makes a resounding case for this enduring and classic outfit; a 21-track compilation of tracks that have become cross-generational anthems.
