Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.

In the late 70s, fifty cents was probably equal to $2.00 today. Albums typically were around $6.98 each at that time, so I got a credit of $3.00 by trading in the six albums out of my collection. The others were probably real dogs because I don't recall any of their titles. As some have expressed in this thread, at the time I was not a huge fan of the Carpenters. Some of their songs sounded contrived, to put it charitably. If you do the math above, Peaches was actually given just a 25% discount on the dollar.

seriously, and respectfully. when it’s a post for her, about her, would it be hard to spell her name correctly? Nine characters...

And yes, the most amazing voice, ever. Not my #1 but in the top 10, rated for emotional connection.

Wow!!!  You didn't mention specifics about who misspelled what. So I looked around the comments only to find that I misspelled "Carpenters" in my title!!! 

I am so embarrassed. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar is important to me. And misspelling the name of my beloved Karen is particularly embarrassing. I tried to edit my mistake but it can't be done after thirty minutes. I know this because I tried to add a comma to a different comment that I made, and then learned about the thirty minute limitation on editing. 

Anyway thanks for pointing out my mistake. Unfortunately I can't fix it. And by the way, it's difficult to write more than a few words in this little box because I can't see everything that I've written. I have to scroll around, if you know what I mean.

@unclewilbur  , this site will not let you make an edit to the title of your thread even if you do catch it before the 30 minutes is up.

@mitchagain “Have you picked up the 2018 release: "Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?"

I stream that album often, but I haven’t bought it. I really like it for a different flavor of Carpenters music. And since you’ve reminded me of it, I will definitely listen to it tonight.
