Candace Michelle~BACKSTREET'S BACK ALRIGHT!

 
thanks for the info, i was just watching the karen carpenter story a couple of days ago as well as their videos on dvd, interesting how the need to listen to the carpenters out of nowhere came to find out that this awesome relase is out, i'm so excited! if only there was some carpenters concerts, but that's why there is youtube, maybe one day richard will be hip and release concert footage, i know he's from a different time but all we can do until then is LOVE the new release that he has out, i can't believe it's been 40 years, where did the time go?..
