一支兄妹二重唱组合。哥哥理查德（Richard Carpenter,生于1946年10月15日，健盘手兼歌手）和妹妹卡伦（Karen Carpenter，生于1950年3月2日，歌手兼鼓手）。60年代末他们迁往加利福尼亚州在一个名叫“光谱” （Spectrum）的6人演唱组中一起演唱，70年代，该演唱组推出了多首风靡世界的单曲和唱片其中包括《与爱情告别》（Goodbye to Love,1972）和《世界之巅》（Top of the World,1973），这两首歌都是理查德和他的歌曲创作伙伴约翰．贝蒂斯（John Bettis）共同创作的。演唱组的热门歌曲还有列农和麦卡特尼的作品《车票》（Ticket to Ride, 1970）、邦尼．布拉姆莱特（Bonnie Bramlett）和利昂．拉塞尔（LEON RUSSELL）的作品《超级明星》（Superstar, 1971）、布赖恩．霍兰（Brian Holland）的作品《请邮差》（Please Mr Postman, 1974）以及汉克．威廉斯（HANK WILLIAMS）的作品《什锦菜》（Jambalaya, 1974）。《昔日重来》（Yesterday Once More）是概念唱片《现在与过去》（Now and Then，1973）中的一首经典曲目。

这个兄妹演唱组合曾一度成为美国乃至世界青年的偶像，是无数少男少女的梦中情人。Karen的嗓音是造物主的恩赐：空灵、安恬而略带忧郁，可以轻易地俘虏你。每次听Carpenters的歌都有一种久旱逢甘霖，它乡遇故知的感觉，亲切温暖难以言表。这种音乐能轻而易举地打动你的情感，抵到你的灵魂深处，抵到你的内心，这个时候你会发现自己不知不觉地成了Carpenter的奴隶，成了音乐的奴隶。

1978年理查德为了帮助睡眠，不幸染上了“药瘾”，为了戒瘾，进入了一家诊所接受治疗，无效，最后衰竭而死，死在梦中；卡伦则因为节食而患上了厌食症，长期服轻泻剂来保持自己苗条的身材，从而患上了神经性厌食症，在1983年不治而亡，终年31岁零七个月。
