Details: Amazon.ca There was a time, before Karen Carpenter was born, when most American female popular singers, even the black ones, sounded a lot like the way she would one day sound. The music of singer-drummer Carpenter and her piano-playing brother Richard came to be called soft rock, but it's really just good, straight American pop. This CD, released in March 1998, is a collection of greatest hits, with a special emphasis on romance. Paul Williams, Burt Bacharach, Sam Lewis, and Victor Young provide lovely melodies, and Carpenter's expressive voice makes each song genuinely affecting. --Stanley Booth Product Description Legendary hit-makers of the '70s, platinum recording artists Karen and Richard Carpenter expressed the emotion of love through music like no one else - previously or since. The Carpenters' music continues to be every bit as relevant and enticing as the day it was recorded, and this great collection proves it. Highlights: "We've Only Just Begun," "This Masquerade," "Superstar," "Rainy Days And Mondays," "Top of the World," "(They Long to Be) Close to You" and more.
