The Carpenters je bio američki pop muzički duo koga su činili Karen i njen brat Richard Carpenter. 1970-ih su uživali veliku popularnost, a što se ponekad tumači time što su u doba kada je rock scenom dominirao agresivni i "tvrdi" zvuk, publici ponudili daleko "mekšu" alternativu, a što ih je na kraju učinilo jednim od komercijalno najuspješnijih izvođača svih vremena.[1] Tri njihove pjesme su došle na vrh američke Billboard Hot 100 liste, a petnaest pjesama je došlo na vrh top-liste Adult Contemporary, učinivši ih jednim od najuspješnijih izvođača soft rock, easy listening i adult contemporary žanra, a dosada je ukupno prodano preko 100 miliona njihovih nosača zvuka [2]. Karijeru tokom koje su snimili 11 albuma, je prekinuta 1983. kada je Karen Carpenter preminula od srčanog udara izazvanog od anoreksije.
