The Carpenters rock. I never got all the hate for them. They made great music.

And one of the greatest popular song vocalists ever.
I loved Richard's songs as well as the standards they recorded, especially Burt Bacharach's work.

I was absolutely in love with Karen Carpenter's voice.
I much prefer altos to sopranos (Karen was a contralto) and Karen was the ultimate alto (sic).
The warmth and richness of her tone, the sad, knowing, bittersweet cast of mind that informed almost everything she ever sang.

I voted earlier tonight. Line was 12 deep into the hallway something that had never happened to me before. I spoke with one of the poll workers apparently a very heavy turnout for our little village.
