CARPENTERS

Dave and Karen had all the best tunes, but these are the ones we'll whistle for eternity 1. Superstar for the immortal line ‘baby baby baby baby oh baby’.

2. Hurting Each Other for its razor-sharp critique of the perversejealousy that blights the course of true love. Swoontastic.

3. For All We Know a tentative glimmer of hope in the style of ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’ (see below). Only better.

4. This Masquerade for that slinky Astrud Gilberto bossanova groove and closing flute solo. Mine’s a Bacardi on the rocks.

5. We ’ve Only Just Begun the only serious option for the first waltz at a wedding.

5. Calling Occupants Of Interplanetan' Craft for its cosmic import and palpable Supertramp influence.

7. (They Long To Be) Close To You the first hit. The dawn of a chuffing great talent. etc, etc.

8. Please Mr Postman because we’ve all, at some time in our lives, had those empty mailbox blues.

David Richard Carpenter - Karen to his schoolmates. Those grins in full. David hogs the limelight, but it was Karen who was immortalised.
