Vedic Horoscope for Carpenter, Richard
American musician, a member of a popular brother-sister singing team, "The Carpenters" who sold millions of hit records in the early '70s. He started piano at 12 and studied classical piano at Yale before the family relocated to Downey, CA, 1963. He formed his first group in 1965; a jazz-pop instrumental trio with sister Karen on drums and their friend Wes Jacobs (who later took a seat in the Detroit Symphony) on bass and tuba. They won a Battle-of-the-Bands at Hollywood Bowl and landed a contract with RCA. The two singles that they cut were considered "too soft" and never released. The trio broke up in late 1966.Steinbrecher quotes birth record.
