Reading that, now I wonder how would have been the Carpenters' future during the 80s if Karen had not died or suffered anorexia.

I'd guess the Carpenters probably would have faded as well, THEN had a resurgence a decade or so later.
I know Christopher Cross still tours, although I've never seen a date anywhere near me. I love that first album, and would go! Although I'll bet he's doing theaters, at best now.
