Carpenters - Carpenters (English spelling)

American vocal and instrumental group. Connecticut-born keyboardist and composer Richard C. Carpenter (1946- ), and his sister, singer and drummer Karen (1950-83), formed the group with the addition of some friends. After an amateur period, they released their first album in 1969. The following year, they became a popular group with consecutive hits "Ticket to Travel," "Distant Shadow," and "Prelude to Love." Following the tradition of American pop, they had a wide appeal and created their own unique sound and style, but the group's activities ceased when Karen died of illness.
