I Know My First Name Is Stephen
Just a little thought of mine, but I often wonder what "the Carpenters" as a group would have been doing today if Karen had been around...
I remember Richard saying himself they would have still been doing the odd tour or releasing an occasional album. This sounds to me as if he imagines they would have just 'kicked back' and slowed to a work schedule that would suit them. If you imagine, they would both now be in their 50s, I'd love to have a picture of them as they would both look now.. could you imagine the Carpenters in their 50s and still going strong!?
I also wonder whether they would still be releasing singles, charting and so on, or whether they'd just do the occasional 'for pleasure' projects, at a similar pace to people like Neil Sedaka and others of their era, who you don't necessarily hear of in the news, but who are still out there performing to their loyal fan base.
Interesting to hear your thoughts!
