The life
Karen Anne Carpenter was an American musician who was the lead vocalist and drummer of the Carpenters with her brother Richard Carpenter.
The duo signed with A&M Records in 1969 and became one of the most commercially successful pop acts of the 1970s, with Karen gradually moving from full-time drummer to frontwoman.
She developed anorexia nervosa in the mid-1970s and died in 1983 at age 32, bringing wider public attention to eating disorders.
