Carpenters Now & Then (1973, A&M) captures the duo’s smooth harmonies and warm production at their peak. The album opens with originals like Sing and Heather before flowing into the nostalgic Yesterday Once More medley that celebrates the golden hits of the 60s. Blending soft pop, orchestral arrangements, and Karen Carpenter’s timeless vocals, Now & Then remains one of their most beloved and beautifully crafted LPs.
