Carpenters: The "Third" Carpenter: A Conversation with John Bettis, Pt 1 2014
Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee John Bettis has written number-one hit songs for countless artists, many of which include Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, The Pointer Sisters and Madonna. However, in this first of a two-part interview, we very candidly and exclusively discuss his co-writing partnership with Richard Carpenter of the famous brother-sister duo Carpenters, as well as talk about how many of the hits were constructed, including John's relationship with both Richard and Karen and what went on behind the scenes.
