Richard Carpenter Singer/songwriter - 11 de June de 2026 Richard Lynn Carpenter (born October 15, 1946) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, who formed half of the sibling duo the Carpenters alongside his younger sister Karen. He had numerous roles in the Carpenters, including record producer, arranger, pianist, keyboardist and songwriter as well as joining with Karen on harmony vocals. Richard and Karen signed with A&M Records on April 22, 1969. "Let's hope we have some hits," Herb Alpert told them. According to Richard, Alpert gave them artistic freedom in the recording studios but after Offering, their first album, was released and wasn't a big seller, it was rumored that some of A&M's people were asking Alpert to abandon the Carpenters but he believed in their talent and insisted on giving them another chance. Alpert suggested the Carpenters record a Burt Bacharach and Hal David song called "(They Long to Be) Close to You" written in 1963. Though Richard worked up an arrangement only at Alpert's insistence, the song was an overnight success. Released on May 14, 1970, it rocketed up the Top 40 charts to No. 1, where it stayed for four weeks during June and July, paving the way for the duo's future records. |

Si lo que quieres es pedir un autógrafo, sigue las instrucciones de abajo. Si tan sólo quieres enviar una carta con la dirección de más arriba y no quieres nada más, ¡entonces deja de leer!
Si vives en Estados Unidos envía un sobre con el franqueo apropiado y tu propia dirección (tamaño mínimo 21.5 X 10 cm) junto con tu petición y una foto. Puedes incluir un trozo de cartón para prevenir que la foto no se estropee cuando circule por el Servicio Postal, y también añadir la frase "No doblar-Do not bend" en los sobres. Envía tu carta y espera. Por regla general, tardará como unos 3 meses en haber una respuesta. Si no vives en Estados Unidos, añade varios Cupones de Respuesta Internacional. Estos cupones (CRI) serán usados por el destinatario para canjearlos por sellos de correos comunes. Sólo puedes obtenerlos en tus oficinas de correos locales. Deposita los CRIs dentro del sobre, no pegados en él. Para más información sobre los cupones, clic aquí (en inglés). *Para información sobre coste del franqueo para recibir una carta desde Estados Unidos clic aquí.
