Kind of strange
How people are drawn to such distinct different music forms within popular music
I could dig pop
Grass roots
Paul revere
Tommy James even the Cowsils
I was 13 in 1970
But carpenters
My mom liked
Good voice no question
My sis had Carpenter and Manilow posters up all over her room in the ‘70s.
Karen did have a great voice.
“Good voice no question”
A friend of mine was in the Long Beach State choir with Karen Carpenter. Both had 3 octave range. In fact I think my friend could actually sing 4 octaves. A great voice but not interested in pop music. She went on to a career as a choir director.
