Lezi zelamani zazalelwa eNew Haven, eConnecticut, futhi zathuthela eDowney, eCalifornia, ngo-1963. URichard wathatha izifundo zepiyano eseyingane, wathuthukela eCalifornia State University, eLong Beach, kuyilapho uKaren efunda ukudlala izigubhu. Baqala ukusebenza ndawonye njengama-duo ngo-1965 futhi bakha i-Jazz-oriented Richard Carpenter Trio elandelwa yiqembu eliphakathi komgwaqo i-Spectrum. Basayina njengeCarpenters kwa-A & M Records ngo-1969, bathola impumelelo enkulu ngonyaka olandelayo ngezingoma eziphumelelayo ezithi "They Long to Be) Close to You" kanye ne- "We've Only Just Begun". Ngokulandelayo, i-brand yabo ye-melodic pop yakhiqiza irekhodi lokushaya amarekhodi e-American Top 40 kanye namashadi we-Adult Contemporary, futhi baba abathengisi abahamba phambili e-soft rock, ukulalela okulula kanye nezinhlobo zomculo wesimanje zabantu abadala. I-Carpenters yayinezingoma ezintathu ezihamba phambili kanye nezingoma ezinhlanu ezihamba phambili ku-Billboard Hot 100 kanye nezingoma eziyishumi nanhlanu ezihamba phambili eshadini le-Adult Contemporary, ngaphezu kwezingoma eziyishumi nambili eziphezulu. Baye bathengisa amarekhodi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-90 emhlabeni wonke, okubenza babe ngomunye wabaculi bomculo abathengisa kakhulu kunabo bonke. Le duo yayihamba ngokuqhubekayo phakathi nawo-1970, okwababeka ngaphansi kwengcindezi eyengeziwe; URichard wathatha unyaka owodwa ngo-1979 ngemuva kokulutha i-Quaaludes, ngenkathi uKaren ehlushwa i-anorexia nervosa.  Zingaki izingoma ezihamba phambili ze-Billboard ama-Carpenters aba nazo? Kulungile. Ake sicabange. Ukusakaza kwami ukwazi:
