The Return of Karen Carpenter
Soundcheck | Aug 9, 2010
Definitive authors of the American soft rock sound, brother-sister duo Carpenters were the number-one selling musical act of the 1970s. But behind their smooth-and-easy sound, destructive forces were lurking.
Today, we hear how family tension and a severe eating disorder claimed the life of singer Karen Carpenter at age 32. We’re joined by Randy Schmidt , author of the new biography Little Girl Blue: The Life Of Karen Carpenter.
