[center]木匠兄妹乐队由理查·卡朋特及凯伦·卡朋特兄妹俩组成,理查8岁迷上钢琴,15岁已是天才钢琴家; 凯伦则不像理查那么早就显现天分,爱上打鼓之后,才引发对音乐的兴趣。
兄妹俩踏入乐坛时,正是迷幻摇滚当道的时候,木匠兄妹清新的调子,许多唱片公司原本不看好。直到1969年,A(M唱片制作人对凯伦独特的嗓音惊为天人,才和他们签下合约。同年,他们的单曲《Close To You》成为美国公告牌冠军,还夺得了三座格莱美奖,木匠兄妹一炮而红。当时美国总统尼克森一家人都是他们的歌迷,还邀请两人到白宫,并为来访的西德总理献唱。成名之后,压力接踵而来,凯伦后来患上厌食症,32岁的她在1983年去世,让全球歌迷伤心不已,但她的歌声却一直在这个世界传唱着。[/center]
