Karen Carpenter

This is a picture of Karen Carpenter of the musical duo, The Carpenters. She's sporting a huge smile, which is a great look on just about everybody. I know a lot of people are ashamed of their smile due to teeth issues or insecurity, but everyone loves to see a smile. Be like Karen Carpenter. Don't be afraid to smile.

Karen and her brother Richard were signed to a record company in the late 60s and had a distinct soft sound. Their two hit songs were “(They Long to Be) Close to You” and “We've Only Just Begun.” The songs are so sweet and sultry that it's a little odd to know that they are brother and sister. That brother and sister energy did the mwell, because in their 14-year career they sold over 90 million records.
