Dammit. They say don't meet your heroes. Sinatra, Johnny Carson, recently found out that Herb Alpert broke Karen Carpenter's heart. Now this. Dammit. I liked him from the little bit I'd heard. But I'm glad to see a more complete picture, whatever that may be.

Prunella vulgaris, the common self-heal, heal-all, woundwort, heart-of-the-earth, carpenter's herb, brownwort or blue curls, is a herbaceous plant in the mint family Lamiaceae.

Karen Carpenter’s angelic vocals are perfect for this Burt Bacharach-Hal David song the Carpenters did with Herb Alpert (that trumpet!)
It’s a #1 hit that launched a career of gorgeous songs.
