With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the Carpenters stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles. Karen Carpenter's calm, often somber voice was the most distinctive element of their music, settling in perfectly amidst the precise, lush arrangements provided by her brother Richard. The duo's sound drew more from pre-rock pop than rock & roll, but that didn't prevent the Carpenters from appealing to a variety of audiences, particularly Top 40, easy listening, and adult contemporary. While their popularity declined during the latter half of the '70s, they remained one of the most distinctive and recognizable acts of the decade produced. The Carpenters formed in the late '60s in Downey, CA, after their family moved from their native New Haven, CT.

Druscilla Penny Lyrics
Carpenters
Druscilla penny, what a name!
Are you sure you didnt make it up yourself?
Youre very pretty, yes you are
Buth with all the junk you wear, its hard to tell
Man, you must work hard to get your hair to look like that
I dont need a horoscope to tell me where youre at
Your familys probably given up on you
Since you began to follow groups of long-haired rockn rollers
I can hear your mother crying for her daughter
Ah, ah, ah ....
Ah, ah, ah ....
Druscilla penny, what a girl!
Wheres the purpose to the crazy life you lead?
It doenst matter after all
Youre so sure instant love is all you need
Ive seen your face at least a thousand times
Youre always standing there behind the stages at the concerts
Waiting for an offer to be with someone after
Druscilla penny, hows your head?
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?
It isnt easy for a girl when she cant decide
If love is wrong or right
I hope I live to see a change
Could you ever really love?
Ever really care?
Ever really get it together? no no
