摘要
卡朋特乐队以轻松活泼的曲调和严谨、朴实无华的编排为特点，它与70年代华而不实的流行乐、摇滚乐形成了鲜明对照。但他们却成为了70年代最受欢迎的音乐家之一，赢得了12次10大精选曲目，其中包括3个单曲冠军。同时，他们不仅仅灌制精美、红极一时的唱片，在短短几年内．他们还以独一无二、无可比拟的音乐给世界流行音乐领域开辟了一片新天地．
With 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. Meanwhile, the Carpenters were much more than creators of beautifully produced and hugely successful hit records. Within the space of just a few years their unique and inimitable sound had brought a new dimension to the world of popular music.
