Great Quote by Richard Carpenter
“My father, Harold, loved music. The radio was on all the time at home, and he had lots of great pop and light classical 78s. Karen and I especially loved Les Paul and Mary Ford, and their overdubbed vocals on songs like 'How High the Moon' and 'The World is Waiting for the Sunrise.'”
