The Carpenters were/are so popular in Japan that a promoter friend; who specialised in booking look-alike, sound-alike acts, had a "Karen Carpenter" singer booked at a small venue in Hokkaido in the late 1970'sSomehow news leaked out that the "real" Karen Carpenter was due to appear; and when the promoter and hs act landed at the airport there were 1000's of fans + Press waiting to see her
The look-alike singer greatly warmed to the occasion and smiled and waved while airport security pushed the two through the throngMust've been great to fly on those borrowed wings for a day...
