The Carpenters

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Elaine Page presents a series profiling Karen and Richard Carpenter , the seventies pop duo whose uncool, smooth sound once divided record buyers but now inspires the likes of Sonic
Youth. The programme looks at the duo's enduring legacy since Karen's tragic death in 1983 and recalls their golden singles era, 1970-72, with contributions from
Richard Carpenter , Burt Bacharach , Herb Alpert and others.
