I was puzzled thinking I had never heard church authorities recommending specific popular culture. Then I thought the Carpenters fit a style which Mormon culture gravitates to. That would be like the strong attachment to Sound of Music. Some cultural things just seem to link to Mormon taste or desires.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 4:43 pmI don't remember the church saying anything about the Carpenters. I did go to a Carpenters concert at BYU in the late '70s because the young woman I was dating was a huge fan. It was a good concert, but the best thing about it was that Steve Martin was the warm-up act. It was the days of King Tut, cat toys, and speaking French.

Then I realized Bill4long is referring to the church as that body of all Mormons who share taste. Yes I can see the church approving of the Carpenters. I would not hold that against the Carpenters.

I use to come home from high school, lay on my parents bed and listen to the album SUPERSTAR. I have listened to Yesterday, Once More countless times listening to her hit those low notes at the beginning.
