Hopefully he is still making music of some kind.
Only if he's in a Prison Band... (Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock!)

Deep, man.The person is the artist, but the life is not the art.
Sadly, it's not about the quality of the art, talent, output. It's about the fickleness of the populace from one week to the next.Solitaire,
as performed on the Gold 35th Anniversary CD, or, the '45-single' Version......
Simply Out of This World!
Not only is Horizon still my favorite--after all of these years---
but, I still bristle (oh, that blood pressure, again) at the
sale of merely 600,000 copies for Only Yesterday...(should've been a million seller)...
and, chart peak of only #17 for Solitaire. (In August 9, 1975 , a Billboard National Break-Out).
Did this album get the Quad treatment?
Billboard:
"...Marv Bornstein is A&M's Quad expert.
Before an LP is transferred to Quad the artist must give his permission."(Page 39, August 9, 1975).
Thanks for these images of the Billboard ads! I am going back to my album reviews and adding them in for history's sake.
WOW, I can't believe I missed this one, it appears A&M placed 2 different ads for Please Mr. Postman in Billboard (one I posted above) and now this one issued in Dec 21, 1974 well ahead of the album Horizon ever being issued. I like this one!!!!
Check out the promo verbiage...."Special Delivery First Class on A&M Records From CARPENTERS
That's a nice picture of them. Not cutesie. More like the Horizon cover.Here is another Billboard ad for Horizon and the smash single Only Yesterday indicating the album will be shipping on June 6th 1975
this was found in Billboard issue May 31, 1975. It appears this may have been a B/W full page photo unfortunately the scan is poor and was too bright so I adjusted the contrast some to tone it down a bit.
