CARPENTERS
THE MUSICAL LEGACY
About this Item: Princeton Press 2021 Mike Cidoni Lennox & Chris May Hardback. Condition: NEW BOOK, Here's the
story of one of the most successful and revered recording artists in
pop-music history: the Carpenters - told for the first time from the
perspective of the one person there for it all, Richard Carpenter.
Making the scene with a clean-cut image on the heels of Woodstock, the
Carpenters were shunned by many contemporaries, critics and even by
those within their own record company. In The Musical Legacy, Richard
reflects on the Carpenters' journey with heart and humor, but also
speaks candidly about the high price of success. Richard has given the
authors unprecedented access, including hours of new interviews and
thousands of never-before published images from his personal archive.
With interest in the Carpenters at a new peak, The Musical Legacy gives
Richard Carpenter a perfectly timed platform to shed light on the duo's
story and set records straight, making for the definitive biography.
