@jack-dodds, he came up as a foundational part of the Wrecking Crew. That group of session musicians provided the background music for literally hundreds of artists and hit records.

The Carpenters were pretty good to my ears. Here in California they even used one of their songs I believe it was "We've Only Just Begun" as a bank background music commercial.
And as a side note I know that the brother Richard is a big car collector or was a big car collector. I've seen a few of his T-Birds at a car show here one year.

Steve; I recall reading several years ago that Richard Carpenter had quite an impressive collection of early 60s Chryco vehicles. Do you know of this?
No, I've never heard that. Only about some Thunderbirds but that was oh gosh that was over 20 or 30 years ago to tell you the truth.
