Homespun invites you to step back into a golden era of melody and charm with this delightful live broadcast of The Carpenters, recorded on May 17, 1978, at ABC Studios in New York City

This rare performance captures Karen and Richard Carpenter at their warmest and most engaging, blending their signature harmonies and heartfelt ballads with the easy-going variety show spirit of late-'70s television.

Joining the duo for this special event are beloved comedian Charlie Callas , radiant actress and singer Suzanne Somers , and the smooth- voiced entertainer John Davidson, adding a touch of humour, glamour, and classic showbiz fair to the evening.

From timeless Carpenters hits like "We've Only Just Begun", covers like "Just The Way You Are" and playful duets and charming banter, this is more than a concert -- it's a nostalgic celebration of music, television, and entertainment at its most sincere.
