The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. Despite their success on the American pop charts during the 1970s, they were often described by critics as soft rock, rather than mainstream rock or pop. The Carpenters' melodic sound and Karen Carpenter's vocal performances influenced a generation of contemporary artists in different genres. Richard Carpenter composed and arranged their songs, which ranged from popular ballads to innovative disco hits to country tunes and movie soundtrack themes.
The Carpenters' first album, Off the Wall (1969), was a moderate commercial success which peaked at number 118 on the Billboard 200 chart. It received mixed reviews from music critics, with some praising its vocal harmonies and others dismissing its cover versions of contemporary pop songs as unoriginal. The duo's second album, Close to You (1970), was much more successful, reaching number 4 on the Billboard 200 and spending 140 weeks on the chart. It yielded three top 10 singles—"(They Long to Be) Close to You", "We've Only Just Begun" and "For All We Know"—and became the best-selling album of 1970 in the United States.
The album was critically acclaimed, with many reviewers praising Karen Carpenter's lead vocals. The duo's next album, A Song for You (1971), reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two top 10 singles—"Rainy Days and Mondays" and "Superstar". The album received positive reviews, with many critics praising the quality of Richard Carpenter's arrangements and Karen Carpenter's voice. The duo released their fourth album, Now & Then (1973), which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and received mixed reviews from music critics.
The Carpenters' fifth album, Horizon (1975), was their first to miss the top 10 of the Billboard 200, peaking at number 12. The album received mixed reviews from music critics, with some praising its production values and others feeling that it lacked originality. The duo released their sixth album, Passages (1977), which peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200 and received mixed reviews from music critics.
The Carpenters' seventh and final album, Made in America (1981), was their first studio album in four years. It peaked at number 54 on the Billboard 200 and received mixed reviews from music critics. The album's lead single, "Touch Me When We're Dancing", became the duo's last top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 9.
The Carpenters' final album, Lovelines (1984), was released posthumously and reached number 33 on the Billboard 200. The album received mixed reviews from music critics, with some praising its production values and others feeling that it lacked originality.
After Karen Carpenter's death in 1983, the Carpenters' musical popularity waned. Their final album, Lovelines (1984), was released posthumously and received mixed reviews from music critics. In the years since their break-up, the Carpenters' music has been reissued on multiple formats and has been covered by a number of artists. A box set containing all of the duo's albums was released in 2001, and a greatest hits album, The Singles: 1969–1981, was released in 2005. Karen Carpenter's solo album, Voice of the Heart (1983), was posthumously released in 1996 and reached number 15 on the Billboard 200.
