内容説明

This biography of The Carpenters reveals the truth behind their public image and the consequences of stardom that contributed to Karen's tragic death in 1983. Karen Carpenter's death at age 32 sent shock waves throughout America. In the ten years since, the startling contrast between Karen's public persona as the all-American girl with the beautiful voice, and her tortuous private world has remained an unsolved mystery. Ray Coleman is a music journalist who knew Karen Carpenter. With the support of Richard and the Carpenter family, he explores the public and private lives of these pop music superstars, from their white-picket-fence upbringing in Connecticut through their swift rise to international fame and on to the dark finale. Coleman portrays the dynamic career in which Karen and Richard sold more than 90 million albums, and played sold-out concerts all over the world, before moving on to Karen's descent into anorexia nervosa - then a little-understood eating disorder. Coleman draws from his many conversations with both Karen and Richard, extensive interviews with the therapist who treated Karen, and many recollections from musicians and friends. The book also includes family photographs and memorabilia, plus previously unpublished handwritten copies of some of their hit song lyrics, such as "Top of the World", "Goodbye to Love" and "Yesterday Once More". Ray Coleman is the author of "Lennon", "Clapton" (with Eric Clapton), and the co-author of "Stone Alone" with Bill Wyman.
