Karen Carpenter tragedy THE SONGS THAT BROKE HER HEART
With her soft, caramel-laced vocal tones, Karen Carpenter had a whole generation of music lovers falling at her feet in the 1970s.
As one half of the wildly successful brother-and-sister pop duo the Carpenters, she made hearts swoon with her mellow, honey-dipped songs.
Then, 13 years after becoming famous, the star broke those same hearts when she died suddenly of a heart attack after many years of suffering from anorexia nervosa.
