Karen Carpenter and boyfriend Terry Ellis in happier days. He was the music executive that started Chrysalis Records with friend Chris Wright. Of course, she was the famous and beloved sister half of the world famous Carpenters musical duo. The year? Perhaps 1975 or 1976 as she was definitely thinner than ever but still had that sweet sweet smile on her face. In a perfect world, things would have worked out, and Karen would have avoided that disastrous marriage to Tom Burris. Regardless, it's nice to see a photo where she looks happy.

2025 Note: This is part of a continuing series on the music and lives of Karen and Richard Carpenter. There are so many stand alone posts highlighting different aspects of their career, recordings, rare photographs, and life that I've lost count.
Below is the list of my "Revisited /Fresh Look" reviews, the more extensive articles than my initial ones a decade earlier. Each have different photos and clippings and focus on various aspects of the individual disc's creation, promotion, and public reaction.
