   This is what was rejected by snazzy music executives* in the mid 1960s   
   which caused Richard & Karen Carpenter to pivot to what became the   
   Carpenters.

   *until really they found Herb Alpert, who was still grinding   
   out the Tijuana Brass then. By then the model had changed. Herb   
   also caused them to record Bacharach-David music...   
      
   I doubt his personality allowed it, but Richard & Karen   
   would have been interesting with Frank.   
      
   ObDisclosure: I really do like what they became later. Karen   
   had a unique voice and delivery. And I was 12, so...
