Salute to Classic - Top of the World
by The Carpenters
Karen and Richard Carpenter already had something special as a talented brother and sister vocal and instrumental duo. “Something special” became something extraordinary as soon as Karen Carpenter opened her mouth to sing. Loved by millions around the world, “Rolling Stone” ranked her No. 94 on its list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, in which one of her legendary peers, Sir Elton John, called her “one of the greatest voices of our lifetime.”
卡倫和理查德·卡朋特作為既能唱又能彈琴的兄妹二人組，本來就很特別，而那種“有些不同”的感覺、在卡倫·卡朋特開口演唱后，立刻成為相當(dāng)出眾。由于受到全球億萬歌迷的喜愛，“滾石”把她列為至今最受歡迎的100位偉大歌手的第94位，就連她的傳奇同行，埃爾頓·約翰爵士也稱她為“我們一生中最
The thing about Karen Carpenter’s voice is that it's magically haunting and soothing, captivating and mysterious, light and dark. She engages listeners and draws them into an intimate space to hold what equates to a close conversation with a cherished friend.
關(guān)于卡倫·卡朋特的聲音，它是那么的神奇，既縈繞心頭又撫慰心靈，既魅力四射又充滿神秘，光明又黑暗重重。她將聽眾吸引到一個私密空間，像是與親密的朋友親熱的聊天。
Though many people get confused about the name, the siblings intentionally left a "The" from preceding their name, wanting to be known simply as "Carpenters." Carpenters songs resonate with all kinds of emotion including happiness, sorrow, longing, loss and love. During a career that spanned 14 years they recorded 11 albums and 31 singles which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, 5 No. 2 singles and 15 Adult Contemporary No. 1 hits.
雖然很多人對他們的名字感到困惑，兄妹倆還特別有意地在他們的名字前面加了一個’The’，就是想讓大家簡單地記住“木匠”這個名字。他們的歌與各種情感產(chǎn)生共鳴，包括幸福、悲傷、渴望、失落和愛。在跨越14年的職業(yè)生涯中，他們錄制了11張專輯和31張單曲，其中誕生了三首Billboard熱曲100的排名第一的單曲，5首排名第二名的單曲，和15首成人當(dāng)代金曲排名第一的單曲。
When Karen Carpenter died tragically in 1983, a light went out in the music world that can never be replaced. At just 32-years-old, Karen left a legacy of music that might take others 20 more years to produce. Friends, fans and industry peers alike still mourn her loss and take comfort in the beautiful songs that she left as a parting gift to the world. Here is a look at 10 of the best songs in the Carpenters exquisite collection.
當(dāng)卡倫·卡朋特在1983年悲慘地去世后，音樂界失去了一顆無人能夠代替的耀眼明星。32歲的一生，卡倫留下的音樂神話別人要用超過20年才能完成。至今，她的朋友，歌迷和業(yè)界同行還在痛悼她的離去，并從她留給世界的這份禮物中得到安慰。以下是卡朋特兄妹瑰麗歌曲集中的前十大金曲：
10. “For All We Know”

7. “Merry Christmas Darling”
6. “Yesterday Once More”
5. “Rainy Days and Mondays”

"Top Of The World" - The Carpenters（Lyrics）
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
