The Carpenter siblings' densely layered, pop-oriented demo tapes eventually caught the attention of Herb Alpert, who signed them to A&M in 1969. They released their first album that November. Originally titled Offering, it was ignored until it was repackaged as Ticket to Ride, on the strength of the moderate success of their Beatles-cover single. Close to You's title track, a Burt Bacharach tune, sold more than a million copies and went to Number One in the U.S. and several other countries. Their hits continued: "We've Only Just Begun" (Number Two, 1970), "For All We Know" (Number Three, 1971; it won an Oscar for Best Song in 1970), "Rainy Days and Mondays" (Number Two, 1971), "Superstar" (Number Two, 1971; written by Leon Russell), "It's Going to Take Some Time" (Number 12, 1972), "Hurting Each Other" (Number Two, 1972), "Goodbye to Love" (Number Seven, 1972), "Sing" (Number Three, 1973), "Yesterday Once More" (Number Two, 1973), "Top of the World" (Number One, 1973), "Won't Last a Day Without You" (Number 11, 1974), "Please Mr. Postman" (Number One, 1975), and "Only Yesterday" (Number Four, 1975).

The 1973 LP The Singles 1969–1973 was a bestseller, and the Carpenters were three-time Grammy winners. They hosted a short-lived variety series, Make Your Own Kind of Music, on NBC in 1971. At the request of President Nixon, they performed at a White House state dinner honoring West German Chancellor Willy Brandt on May 1, 1973. They toured internationally through the mid-'70s. Their 1976 tour of Japan was, at the time, the biggest-grossing concert ever in that country. From 1976 to 1980 the pair hosted five ABC television specials. Through the late '70s the Carpenters were noticeably absent from the charts, but returned to the Top 20 in 1981 with "Touch Me When We're Dancing."

On February 4, 1983, Karen Carpenter died in her parents' home of cardiac arrest, resulting from her long struggle with anorexia nervosa. Her story was presented in the highly rated made-for-television movie The Karen Carpenter Story in 1988. The posthumous LP Lovelines drew critical notice for its inclusion of four tracks Karen had recorded for an unreleased 1980 solo album. Richard's solo effort, Time, featured duets with Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield yet failed to chart. The followup merely features easy-listening, instrumental revisions of various Carpenters songs.

With time, the duo's saccharine image has receded somewhat, and Karen Carpenter is acknowledged by women rock musicians, including Chrissie Hynde and Madonna, as a pioneer. Sonic Youth, Sheryl Crow, Matthew Sweet, Cracker, and the Cranberries were among the fourteen acts who contributed to the 1994 Carpenters tribute album If I Were a Carpenter. Around the same time that fall, the Karen and Richard Carpenter Performing Arts Center at Cal State University opened in Long Beach, California. Karen Carpenter's eponymous solo debut, recorded in 1979 and 1980 but unreleased until 1996, continued to keep her memory alive. The somewhat mature — but hardly edgy — album found her experimenting with disco and mildly suggestive lyrics.

During the '80s, marriage troubles and substance abuse saw him in and out of the tabloids, but he bounced back in the '90s, recording a handful of gospel albums and writing his autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy.

In an attempt to cement their rep in the burgeoning underground, the Association played the Monterey International Pop Music Festival in the summer of 1967. At the same time, the group shared little in common with Janis and Jimi. Scoring one Billboard smash after another, including the radio staples "Cherish" and "Windy," the Association favored a mix of smooth harmonies, lush strings and punchy brass, a sound that would prove influential on soft-rock acts like Bread and Air Supply.

Besides his best-known material, on Dionne Warwick's long run of supper-club soul hits ("Walk on By," "I Say a Little Prayer"), there are important, career-defining records made with the likes of Dusty Springfield, Herb Alpert, Jackie DeShannon and B.J. Thomas. Deeply influenced by Ravel and Dizzy Gillespie, Bacharach made his earliest splash as musical director for Marlene Dietrich; he kept the gig going on and off even as his star rose with Warwick and others. By 1957, he'd met lyricist Hal David, with whom he partnered for the next 15 years; in fact, most of his great songs carry the Bacharach-David tag. While pushing his muse further with film work (he wrote What's New Pussycat? for Woody Allen's first movie, which also featured "My Little Red Book" in a nightclub scene), Bacharach recorded a series of mood music albums under his own name. These were mostly instrumental, or graced with "girl" session vocalists, but occasionally the auteur would open his own pipes. Though the results were shaky, they were friendly and likable. After a troubled break with David, Bacharach scored fewer hits. His name appeared on "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross, "On My Own" by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald, and the star-studded Warwick single "That's What Friends Are For." It wasn't until the 1990s revival of interest in lounge music and similar styles, however, that his artistic profile was reassessed. Omnivorous music hound Elvis Costello teamed up with Bacharach on Painted From Memory, a dazzling 1998 album in the old style. Since then, Bacharach has continued to work, showing up on TV and in another inspired partnership, with Ron Isley on 2003's Here I Am. - Jaan Uhelszki]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7090&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Brill Building Pop Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:17:10 -0800 Top Easy Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7090 art.7090 Neil Sedaka art.7090 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7090&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7090&variant=data&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68619&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Easy Pop Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:04 -0800 Top Easy Pop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68619 art.68619 England Dan & John Ford Coley art.68619 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68619&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68619&variant=data&rws=%2Fvocal-easy-listening%2Feasy-pop%2Fartist-chart.rss Nights Are Forever, shot the band into years of near-constant rotation on '70s radio.

The former Sweathog's place in pop history would have been assured if his involvement with music stopped with movie musicals -- but it didn't. Though he may now want to forget it, John Travolta was also a late '70s pop crooner with a soft pop catalogue so saccharine that it earned him the nickname "John Revolta." While most fans will want to stick with the Grease soundtrack (which includes a string of Travolta-sung chart-topping hit singles), those with a love of questionable material or an appreciation of flared-trousered, well-coiffed cheese may want to hear such forgotten smashes as "Let Her In" and "All Strung Out on You."

Roundly ridiculed as the highest level of camp when it was released, the record struck a chord with fans and at least a few Madison Avenue advertising executives some 20 years later. In the 1990s, Shatner played a spoken word leader of a postmodern band in a series of ironic ads for online travel site Priceline. These ads led to more interest from musicians, including power-pop pianist Ben Folds. In 2004, Shatner returned to the scene with Has Been, a collection of original songs co-written with collaborator Folds. The album contains a nifty cover of Pulp's "Common People," but the strength of the record is Shatner's original songs.
