Karen and Richard Carpenter monopolized the airwaves during the 1970s with hits such as We've Only Just Begun, Close To You, Superstar and Rainy Days and Mondays, having sold over 100 million units to date. This exclusive and candid interview with Carpenters' studio drummer Hal Blaine and studio bassist Joe Osborn reveal several insights on the duo, as we discuss many behind-the-scenes details in the recording of their hits, including the making of (They Long To Be) Close To You. We also talk about some of the personal challenges involved in working with the brother-sister duo, as well as Joe's work recently with Richard Carpenter on an upcoming Christmas album.
