yesterday once more
个人日记
他们是木匠兄妹Carpenters，70年代美国最高销售纪录的艺人，也是音乐史上最畅销的乐团之一。卡伦·卡朋特(Karen Carpenter)及其兄理查德·卡朋特(Richard Capenters)出生于美国康涅狄格州，理查德是位很有才华的艺人，演唱、弹琴、制作及歌曲创作均可胜任，与其妹组建乐队后，甘为配角为妹妹写歌，伴奏。他们自幼就拥有良好的音乐环境。1969年，他们带着自录的音乐走遍洛杉矶，终于在A&M唱片公司得到赏识，他们迎来了成功的曙光。 1969年11月15日，首张专辑《CLOSE TO YOU》发行,专辑中的同名歌曲瞬即荣登排行榜首。从此，卡朋特兄妹演唱组的事业蒸蒸日上,不断有佳作问世。在他们短暂14年的音乐生涯中，录制了 11张专辑，却写下许多乐坛后辈难以望其项背的纪录！总计创造30首全美抒情榜TOP20单曲与18首全美热门单曲榜TOP20单曲，全球超过1亿张唱片销售天量，赢得3座葛莱美奖及1座全美音乐奖，以及难以估计的金唱片，更光荣入列好莱坞星光大道的「闪亮星」与葛莱美奖名人殿堂。但好景不长，卡伦因慢性厌食和神经过敏于1983年2月4日死在深爱她的父母怀中。她死时只有三十二岁。木匠乐队也到此终结。但卡伦·卡朋特那清新、健康的旋律，略带忧郁的中音，亲切自然的演唱却永远让我们难以忘怀。
