I saw her once. Chip off the old block she was.
Used every grain of energy and not a plane vocalist like some rotten critics said. She never was a bore, well drilled.

Treemendous singer. Very poplar. Looked good when spruced up.

Dickie and J_B you’ve got it wrong. You must be thinking of Karen Carpunter.

She was also a very talented drummer too. If it was up to her she would have stayed behind the kit, but management had other ideas.

They didn't write most of the songs themselves, the brother was brilliant at arrangement of the cover versions and she had a unique voice

Richard Carpenter was also a massive fan of the "over rated dopehead" Frank Zappa..
