À propos de cet audio
Before the fan club newsletters started arriving with cheerful Carpenter happenings, there was a family story—controlling, ambitious, and already full of pressure.
In Episode 1, we rewind to the beginning: the move from New Haven to Downey. The household dynamics that shaped Karen and Richard, and the force of their mother Agnes, as the family’s musical mission takes shape. We also dig into the piece of the origin myth that gets overlooked most: Karen didn’t begin as “the voice.” She began as a drummer—fighting to get behind the kit in marching band because, as she put it, she “just wanted to play the drums.”
From early wins and “almost” years to the moment A&M finally opens the door, we build toward the pivot point: 1970, when Karen and Richard become the Carpenters—and the official story is ready to be printed, mailed, and preserved.
