40 Year Itch: Carpenters Down Under



The Carpenters play Festival Hall in Melbourne on May 24, 1972. At the time "Hurting Each Other" , from the upcoming album A Song For You, was #20 on the Australian charts. It would move up to #9 the following week and remain in the Top 10 until August 5. The song peaked at #2 on the US Billboard charts.

The Carpenters, brother and sister Richard and Karen,  were both millionaires and both still lived at home with their parents.

  1. This band was a promising band but sadly it was ruined by fame and it led to the sad demise of Karen.
