The Carpenters
From Muppet Wiki
The Carpenters were a pop duo made up of siblings Richard (b. 1946) and Karen Carpenter (1950-1983). They were famous for their renditions of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You," Paul Williams' "We've Only Just Begun," and "Sing" from Sesame Street.
The Carpenters recorded "The Rainbow Connection" in 1980, but it wasn't released until 2004. At some point, Karen Carpenter posed for a photograph with Miss Piggy. Richard Carpenter discussed the siblings' cover of "Sing" in the 2001 documentary The Greatest TV Moments: Sesame Street Music A-Z.
