Amazon Review By Peter Durward Harris
During the seventies, Richard and Karen Carpenter, known as The Carpenters, had considerable success in the pop charts on both sides of the Atlantic with their brand of pop music. Richard%27s expert arrangements and Karen%27s superb voice combined to create something special.
They recorded plenty of original songs but some of their biggest hits were covers. Close to you is a Bacharach-David song, originally recorded by Dionne Warwick, but her version was not released as a single. Please Mr Postman was a huge American success for the Marvelettes (and was covered by the Beatles on one of their early albums). Jambalaya is an old Hank Williams song, while Ticket to ride is a Beatles classic.
