Three Tune Tuesday - The Carpenters - Richard Carpenter - Birthday boy #16 [ En-Pt]
Welcome to my #TTT #ThreeTuneTuesday entry!
Os manos nasceram em New Haven, Connecticut e mudaram-se para a California, em 1963.
Ao passo que a sua mana teve lições de percussão, Richard, por sua vez, teve lições de piano.
Participaram num projecto a três chamado de Spectrum em 1965. Em 1969 os dois assinaram pela produtora A&M conseguindo alcançar o sucesso com vários singles, dos quais são de destacar "(The long to be) Close to you", e "We only just began".
O grupo famoso de pop melódica, atingiu o topo das tabelas de vendas, continuando a produzir albuns para além de 1910.
Depois de alguns percalços do caminho, muitos deles devido ao abuso por substâncias proibidas por parte do Richard, o que levou a tirar um tempo para se desintoxicar.
A anorexia nervosa era uma das dificuldades que a jovem Karen lidava na altura. As dificuldades foram uma nota comum na sua curta carreira, que foi abruptamente terminada com a morte de Karen com complicações de uma insuficiência cardíaca.
Venderam mais de 100 milhões de discos ao longo da sua carreira, sendo ainda hoje em dia uma das bandas que mais marcou os anos 70 e inicio dos 80 da juventude de muita gente.
Espero que tenham gostado da minha selecção para esta semana!
Um abraço a todos
Richard Lynn Carpenter was born on 15 October 1946. The American musician, singer, producer and songwriter became known for being one of the members of the duo The Carpenters. The group made up of him and his sister Karen, who died prematurely in 1983, released countless hits during their fourteen-year existence. To be precise, there were ten albums, among hundreds of television appearances and many singles of unquestionable success.
The brothers were born in New Haven, Connecticut and moved to California in 1963.
While his sister took percussion lessons, Richard took piano lessons.
They took part in a three-piece project called Spectrum in 1965. In 1969 the two signed to the A&M label and achieved success with several singles, including ‘(The long to be) Close to you’ and ‘We only began’.
The famous melodic pop group reached the top of the sales charts and continued to produce albums beyond 1910.
After a few setbacks along the way, many of them due to Richard's abuse of banned substances, he took time off to detox.
Anorexia nervosa was one of the difficulties the young Karen was dealing with at the time. Difficulties were a common note in their short career, which was abruptly ended by Karen's death from complications of heart failure.
They sold over 100 million records during their career, and are still today one of the bands that most marked the 70s and early 80s of many people's youth.
I hope you enjoyed my selection for this week!
Cheers, everyone
