- Music
Mick and Jim have discussed the pioneers of country western, punk, hard rock, disco, and everything in between. In this episode we tackle the Carpenters, icons of soft rock during the 1970s. Karen and Richard, brother and sister, carved out their own space in music history and owned the 70s as much as any other artist or group. They sold millions of albums and produced densely layered tracks that have come in time to be regarded as pioneering. Sadly, Karen died of cardiac arrest in 1983 after a long struggle with anorexia nervosa.
