Articles about and interviews with one of pop music’s most beloved duos

With a string of number-one hits, the Carpenters were responsible for some of the most popular music of the 1970s. Yesterday Once More collects more than fifty articles, interviews, essays, reviews, and reassessments that chronicle the lives and career of this brother-sister musical duo. Pop journalists and historians—such as Daniel J. Levitin, John Tobler, Digby Diehl, Ray Coleman, Robert Hilburn, and Lester Bangs—provide insights into the music and personalities of the Carpenters, as do Karen and Richard themselves. This new edition has been revised and expanded to include close to a dozen pieces that were not in the previous edition, some of them previously unpublished.
