“Anybody know if Richard Carpenter s still around?”
Once upon a time I got a sheet music book of Carpenter songs.
Songs by Bacharach/David, Williams/Nichols and other hit composers were in there plus a bunch composed by Richard.
The ‘Richard’ ones were a waste of paper. I think his talent was as an arranger.
Richard is such an interesting story. For years, he didn’t arrange anything. (With the Carpenters, I thought he was the best arranger in the music industry). I heard he later got back into the business, but without any real success.
