Cover EX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the Carpenters stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop\/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles. Karen Carpenter's calm, pretty voice was the most distinctive element of their music, settling in perfectly amidst the precise, lush arrangements provided by her brother Richard. The duo's sound drew more from pre-rock pop than rock \u0026amp; roll, but that didn't prevent the Carpenters from appealing to a variety of audiences, particularly Top 40, easy listening, and adult contemporary. While their popularity declined during the latter half of the '70s, they remained one of the most distinctive and recognizable acts of the decade produced.\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Carpenters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Carpenters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"tl\"\u003e1.
