Episode 41: Yesterday Once More (Carpenters)

This week, we are talking about the pioneers of the power ballad, the Carpenters. Leah walks us through the (sometimes tumultuous) Carpenter family history, starting with Karen and Richard's humble beginnings as the Richard Carpenter Trio. As we watch them rise to fame, we learn about their too-short career.  Content warning: This episode contains heavy talk about eating disorders, dieting and mentions of death.  Show Notes and Images: http://shewillrockyou.com/2021/04/16/episode-41-yesterday-once-more-carpenters/ Visit Our Website: https://www.shewillrockyou.com Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shewillrockyoupodcast Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shewillrockyoupodcast Shop Our Merchandise: https://she-will-rock-you.creator-spring.com/ About the Show: The goal of She Will Rock You has always been to educate our listeners.
