Synopsis

Amazon.com

There was a time, before Karen Carpenter was born, when most American female popular singers, even the black ones, sounded a lot like the way she would one day sound. The music of singer-drummer Carpenter and her piano-playing brother Richard came to be called soft rock, but it's really just good, straight American pop. This CD, released in March 1998, is a collection of greatest hits, with a special emphasis on romance. Paul Williams, Burt Bacharach, Sam Lewis, and Victor Young provide lovely melodies, and Carpenter's expressive voice makes each song genuinely affecting. --Stanley Booth

The Carpenters Love Songs

C. Chesher | Almerimar, Almeria, ES | 04/26/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent CD with many favourite love songs for Carpenters fans and lovers of good romantic music. I nearly have a complete set of all their music nowLove Songs."

All the best of the Carpenters

Dolores Groves | Tennessee | 02/01/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is the Carpenters at their best. Listening to all the great love songs from the years gone by can only bring back memories when they were on the top. Listening to Karen sing "Solitaire" is unbelievably beautiful, along with "Superstar", "We've only just Begun", and the other seventeen songs on the CD. It's a CD worth buying."

A note from heaven!

"This album speaks volumes of what pure beauty is. When some doesn't understand what love and passion is that one could ever offer...what Karen Carpenter did in this cd is proof that love is everlasting. This is her best! And its all on one CD.

Eventhough she is gone, her voice is still present. This cd has a soft sense of peace and innocences. Great first date cd! Artist today doesnt make music like this anymore. 1970s songwriters are the heart of romance. Karen Carpenter is a legend of emotions. There wasn't one track on the cd that I felt uncomfortable with. This should be up in the top 5 of best romance albums!"
