* 英文经典歌曲系列赏析之一 The Carpenters(卡朋特)是20世纪70年代活跃在美国的一个著名演唱小组, 由Karen Carpenter(卡伦·卡朋特)和她的哥哥Richard Carpenter(理查德·卡朋特)二人组建。他们的父亲Bertram Carpenter出生于中国，他们的妈妈Agnes Reuwer Tatum生于美国的巴尔的摩。1970年他们凭借一曲《靠近你》(Close To You)荣登排行榜首，使得乐队一炮走红。在整个70年代他们不断有佳作问世，成为无数美国青年的偶像。卡伦的嗓音优美，演唱亲切自然，略带伤感，她的歌声具有一种以柔克刚的穿透力，风格虽然朴素，但决无当今大小歌星哗众取宠的装束和画蛇添足的舞步，完全靠嗓音征服听众。兄妹两人就是以这种柔和的摇滚风格享誉着美国歌坛，在他们13年的歌唱生涯中，曾获得三次Grammy奖，13次金唱片奖，唱片总销量在6000万以上。直到1983年2月，卡伦身患神经性厌食症，最终在深爱她的亲人怀中安然离世。 When I was young, Id listen to ___ ___,waitin for my favorite ___.When they played Id sing along, it made me ___.Those were such happy times, and not so long ago.How I wondered where theyd gone.But theyre back again, just like a long ___ ___.All the songs I loved so well.Every Sha-la-la-la, Every Wo-o-wo-o, still shines;Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that theyre startin to sing so fine.
