歌手介绍
卡朋特乐队（Carpenters）是美国歌星理查德·卡朋特和卡伦·卡朋特兄妹二人组成的演唱组合，1970年代和1980年代初期风靡一时。卡朋特兄妹于1965年开始组织乐队，1969年11月15日，卡朋特乐队的单曲《Close to You》（靠近你）一举走红，其后，他们在整个1970年代大获成功。《Yesterday Once More》（昨日重现）、《Top of the World》（世界之颠）、《Please Mr. Postman》（请等一下，邮差先生）等歌曲广为人知。
木匠兄妹由著名的歌星卡朋特与她哥哥理查德·卡朋特组成，卡伦·卡朋特1950年生于美国康耐狄格州，从小在哥哥的影响下学习乐器，成了一名鼓手，大她三岁的哥哥理查德是个非常有才华的青年，担任钢琴伴奏和制作人，并创作了大量歌曲。后来在著名经纪人德纽文的帮助下，进入了美国流行乐坛，70年代中他们不断有佳作问世，成为无数美国青年的偶像，尼克松总统称卡朋特兄妹是最出色的美国青年。
令人惋惜的是卡伦·卡朋特年仅32岁便过早地离去。她死于神经性厌食症。这是由于她为了保持身材的苗条，长期服用轻泻剂，与长期节食的严重后果。1983年2月4日她死于深爱她的父母怀中。卡伦·卡朋特嗓音优美，演唱亲切自然，略带伤感，加之他们运用了多轨录音技术，因此他们的唱片无论在艺术上或技术上都非常成功，是当代流行音乐的精品。
