The Carpenters rocked the country with their smash hits like "Top of the World" and "We've Only Just Begun." Come experience their musical revival brought forth by Lisa Rock with a six-piece band on Sunday, Feb. 11 at the Enlow Recital Hall.

The Carpenters are a popular brother-sister duo featuring Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter. They dominated the Billboard charts during the 1970s after producing their first hit singles, "Close to You" and "We've Only Just Begun." In an era characterized by hippies, rock-and-roll and drugs, The Carpenters still found success with their more catchy, soft rock songs. Their unique style earned them the title, "Young America at its Best," by President Nixon after their White House performance in 1973. 

The Carpenters continued to reach new heights in their popularity over the years for their music's ability to reach and be enjoyed by people of all ages. After dominating the music charts, they went on to tour the world and feature in variety shows. 

Unfortunately, criticism about her weight by the music community led Karen Carpenter to develop anorexia. Richard Carpenter was also weighed down by the music world's judgement and took to sleeping pills to cope. Despite their struggles, The Carpenters continued to make popular music, while confronting their vices. 

In 1981, Karen and Richard Carpenter made their last album together, "Made in America," which was received favorably. Karen Richard died two years later on Feb. 4, 1983 from a heart attack. The Carpenters's name and popularity survived for a little while longer as Richard Carpenter continued to release music from their previous projects. 

Although The Carpenters's era has since ended, their legacy lives on through the millions of fans they had accumulated as the most impactful and popular band of the 1970's.

Experience the timeless music of The Carpenters through the interpretation of Lisa Rock on Feb. 11, 2018 at 3 p.m. in the Enlow Recital Hall.
