'This book brings back so many lovely and amusing memories of a sadlymissed friend. She was unique and irreplaceable in so many ways. Joel hasbeen thorough in his research, and his love and respect for Karen shinethrough. Love and thanks for the fun and the magic of her musical soul.'-Petula Clark'An insightful look at the life of Karen Carpenter, a singing hero of mine.I had the pleasure of opening for the Carpenters in 1975, but it was moreexciting that they recorded several of my songs, particularly ’Solitaire,’which featured a breathtaking Karen vocal accompanied by Richard’smagnificent orchestration. Mr. Samberg’s book is a worthy tribute to hereverlasting legacy as one of the great vocalists of all time.'-Neil SedakaThe popularity of the Carpenters-Karen in particular-has never reallywaned. In fact, when you consider the online presence, documentaries,tributes and other projects, you might even say that an unofficial Carpentersrevival has been brewing for years. Many remember the velvety voice thathelped the Carpenters sell 100 million records, but not everyone knows thatbeyond the gifted singer was also a love-starved romantic, conflicted sister,obedient daughter, unpredictable jester, modest millionaire, optimisticdreamer, wannabe mother, emotional wreck, generous friend, and melancholyclown. How is it that someone whose stardom lasted just a dozen years, andwho might have given it all up in a heartbeat, is still so beloved and still fascinates more than three decades after her untimely death?
