Years of jam-packed work schedules, including hundreds of concert engagements, proved to be just too much for the Carpenters to keep the hits coming\u0026mdash;and, ultimately, to keep the music playing at all.

With candor, heart, and humor, he sheds new light on the Carpenters' trials and triumphs\u0026mdash;work that remains the gold standard for melodic pop. This beautifully illustrated definitive biography, with exclusive interviews and never-before-seen photographs, is a must-have for any Carpenters fan. |
