Personally, as A Carpenter Fan Forever, a reverent of Karen's unique gift and
Richard's gilded inner eye of music and soul and the combined placement of the two talents burnished together: For the 40th Anniversary - I could care less for a Chinese/Japanese Eastern CD of covers by other artists.
All I need to see is Richard come out be OUT about him and Karen's music /lives together - make the talk show circuits talk about their legacy, bring out your beautiful children - do a one man/one piano OFF -Broadway Show - or release new remixed acapella versions of the music you two created together. WE all KNOW as Carp's Fans: RICHARD YOU DO HAVE THE TALENT (AND those who love you)TO DO SO.
I am just not interested in another tribute album. And there is no "preserving legacy" in Asian artists covering Karen's voice! They know the songs - WE ALL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE between "the devil and the deep blue sea!"
As the last LP that Karen saw release of was called "MADE IN AMERICA" we all know the great old USA currently is not spending bucks - but I find it an insult to go EAST where there is money to be made and to think that going EAST is all good work in "PRESERVING A LEGACY".
Carpenters were "MADE IN AMERICA". As SWEDEN treasures its ABBA - CARPENTERS are treasured here in the USA more than any other place in the world.
