      Then give Yoko Ono's voice a shot. Far better than Karen's. Yoko's voice is much more soothing.

    The title is “(They long to be) Close to You.” And no, nobody mocked their music. McCartney said she had the best female voice he’d ever heard. They liked their cover of Ticket to Ride.

    First of all, the cover photo of two people (with the guy shirtless) are not Carpenters. And although they grew up as kids in New Haven, CT, they weren't performing until they were well-ensconced in Downey, CA. What else is wrong about this profile of one of pop music's greatest duos? I'll never know, because I'm tuning this one out.

    John Lennon's opinion about anyone is irrelevant. He was a talented musician, but at the same time, he had questionable behaviors in his personal life. Criticizing the Carpenters reveals his bad character, and he is also responsible for the breakup of the Beatles, all to become involved with a showy woman.

    IMO therr are only two great singers of all time. Karen and Sinatra.
    Her voice was amazing and spanned a large vocal range. That she died at a young age meant we lost years of future singing. Oh, what I would give to have her back again. Richard was a musical genius. It is odd that Ticket to Ride by the Beetles became such a hit when Richard did the arrangement and Karen sang.
    The critics saying,the pair was boring are way off base.

      Ha Ha! Lots of faux pauxs in this ai generated voice....their 1st hit "They Long to Be"...uh...known as (They Long To Be) Close To You would be more accurate. Karen didnt find out after being married that Tom Burris was infertile from a vasectomy. She knew this weeks before but pressure from her mother forced her to go ahead with it. These "scandals" that are mentioned are just career choices they both made.....some for the betterment of the group, others miscalculations.
