Carly Simon is classic rock?
- Thread starter vchimpanzee
- Start date
BTW have you ever heard Richard Carpenters' performance of the Warsaw Concerto? Not too shabby...
So are you claiming The Carpenters classify as rock?
I wouldn't but my step-father probably would, but of course he was a violinist and was a big fan of André Rieu who some wouldn't regard as a serious musician...but that's for another thread...
You didn’t ask me. You asked Tomas Estefan.
Pat Boone has entered the chat.
....and Carly lost the lawsuit against Starbucks mentioned in the Times piece----twice:
Carly Simon loses in court to Starbucks again
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A federal judge has rejected singer Carly Simon's lawsuit against Starbucks for a second time.www.reuters.com
Isn't Carly related to the Simons from the Simon and Schuster publishing house?...and others, including Paul Simon.
Pleaded guilty, could have been sentenced to 45 years, was out in five, with half of that served in a halfway house:
All The Best Victims
Financial adviser Kenneth Starr stands accused of swindling as much as $59 million from Uma Thurman, Al Pacino, and other celebrity clients.www.vanityfair.com
Tomas—Yes. That’s what started the conversation. Go up a couple of posts before that one.
in the 60's and to the mid 70's it was top 40.... it had nothing to do with rock.... look at any top 40 chart and it is damn near schizophrenic
The story of how Tony Peluso got brought in on "Goodbye To Love" is interesting.... there is a Tony interview video out there about it that is pretty funny..... but it was Richard Carpenters way of getting the Carpenters shifted from Grandma music to something harder... and they took a lot of grief from their fans for doing it.... Tony started a trend for sure.
I happen to like the Carpenters.... I like Frank Zappa too....

No, but instead of commenting, you posted an old Monte Python clip.
Every time I read these things, I get the distinct impression that I've gone over the rainbow!
The Carpenters were massively popular(with teens)in the '70s. It wasn't until later that they fell out of favor and I really don't know why. I've always loved their music and still do! I had a physical reaction when Karen died! I was having lunch with a friend and he asked me what was wrong!
I'd describe it more as an 'old guy psychedelic rabbit hole'.Every time I read these things, I get the distinct impression that I've gone over the rainbow!
So are you claiming The Carpenters classify as psychedelic rock?
Nah. It wasn't even rock when Klaatu did it. All the Carpenters did was bring back Tony Peluso (the guitarist who did the "Goodbye To Love" solo).
Richard Carpenter has acknowledged having a drug problem in the 70s, but psychedelics had nothing to do with it.

No, nothing from the Carpenters would be classified as any form of rock. See? A straight and simple answer without a bunch of cutesy YouTube links attached.
Except for the tribute album, "If I Were a Carpenter", featuring covers of their songs performed by artists and groups like Sonic Youth, the Cranberries, and 4 Non Blondes.
