Why didn't Richard Carpenter argue for the release of his sister Karen Carpenter's solo album in 1980 after A and M refused to sell it it was released in 1996?
Richard Lynn Carpenter did not like the songs on Karen Carpenter's solo album, [and he felt Phil Ramone's songs sounded too much like over dubbed Carpenters songs, (although Richard Carpenter was greatly influenced by the over dubbing of Les Paul and Mary Ford)]. Richard Carpenter did not do anything to keep the solo album from being released in 1980,however, he did not do anything, (on behalf of his sister), to get it released in 1980. He did spend some money and effort to get it finally released in 1996, sixteen years after it was first submitted to A & M for release, (and 13 years after Karen died on Feb. 4, 1983).
Was Karen carpenter popular with her band members?
No. Karen Carpenter was first a drummer, then she was a singer. She was not a songwriter. Every song she sang and/or played the drums for, was written by someone else. All of the solo songs she recorded with Phil Ramone between 1979 - 1980 (while Richard Carpenter was kicking his quaalude addiction), were written by someone else.
