[[Carpenters]] (absolutely '''not''' "The Carpenters") was a brother-and-sister pop duo, Karen and Richard Carpenter. Karen started out as the drummer but was gradually phased off the instrument once it became clear she had a superlative singing voice; Richard wrote the material, played piano and provided backing vocals.
 
They were active from 1969 to 1981. They were prolific. They had numerous hits, only a few of which are commonly known to people who weren't there in [[The Seventies]]. Hits include "Close to You," "Sing," "Yesterday Once More," "We've Only Just Begun," and "Superstar."
