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.
