Happy 78th birthday to the one and only Richard Carpenter! Can you believe our favorite musical maestro has reached this milestone? It seems like just yesterday we were jamming out to "Close to You" and "Top of the World" on our record players. But here you are, still gracing us with your timeless melodies and legendary talents. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with lots of love, laughter, and of course, some good old-fashioned singing along to your classic hits. Cheers to another year around the sun, Richard! Keep making beautiful music and never lose that charming smile.
