Sad story. Died at 32 from a heart attack brought on by the psychiatric disease anorexia nervosa.

Not really a fan of her music but can appreciate her beautiful voice.

R.I.P. Karen.

Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays

Carpenters - Superstar

The first song you mentioned, Rainy Days and Mondays was written by Paul Williams, a very successful songwriter of that time. The Carpenters performed a few of his songs, including 'We've Only Just Begun'. He wrote hits for other artists too like 'Evergreen', ‘You and Me Against The World,’ Three Dog Night’s ‘An Old Fashioned Love Song’.

My wife and I were in Las Vegas one time in the '70s and he was the headliner. We went to see him just to have something to do. He does not have the best voice, but he was so entertaining and had great phrasing. It was a pleasant surprise.

Here's his version of 'Rain Days and Mondays':

This song and The Doobie Brothers, Blackwater, are the two songs I remember my dad playing often when they first came out in the ~1975 timeframe when I was about 6 or 7.

Love them both!

I love them both too.

PS - I got married in 1975. Still married to the same lovely woman.
