I thought it would be fun to share videos of songs and artists that we know have influenced our favourite duo, what we think of these tracks now and where we hear their influence in the Carpenters’ music. What tracks would you choose?
First up! Let’s go right back to the beginning with two tracks from another ‘duo’ that gave Richard the idea for that overdubbed sound: Les Paul and Mary Ford. These songs are just glorious, from the vocal stacks to the guitar work. I hear what Richard does, that it’s all Mary’s voices, but it’s amazing that they achieved this as early as the 1950s. The reverb on the first track gives it a great bellowing sound!
