Whiskey & Facts: Karen Carpenter 

Johnny Rivers is not black and he is still not in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.

@fool4singing It might have nothing to do with Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter "being white", it might be because they were considered, "goodie two shoes" or what Richard said that they were labeled, as he called it a "goodie four shoes". Hard Rock was considered edgy and rebellious, but Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter had wholesome music that had a softer sound that was popular with "middle class America". It is a shame because there is nothing wrong with how beautiful Karen Carpenter sang love songs and other songs, not to mention Karen Carpenter was an outstanding drummer too!! Maybe Richard Carpenter or his Daughter could look into having Karen Carpenter's name enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, maybe with all that is happening in America today, people would enjoy their sweet sound, unlike back in the 1970s?
