Can anyone tell me who played drums whilst Karen sang, on the Carpenters at The BBC ?
The band members are listed in the credits are -

Bob Messenger
Gary Sims
Douglas Strawn

and special guest Tony Joe White

Here is a screen grab of the chap in question.

Well, according to WIKI
"Tony Joe White (born July 23, 1943, Oak Grove, Louisiana) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist best known for his 1969 hit "Polk Salad Annie", and for "Rainy Night in Georgia" which he wrote but was firstly made popular by Brook Benton, and "Steamy Windows" - a hit for Tina Turner in 1989. "Polk Salad Annie" was also recorded by Elvis Presley and Tom Jones."

So, I'm assuming it wasn't him. So, it must be JIM ANTHONY

Many thanks, I wondered why he always seemed to be off camera. Perhaps it was his massive sideburns!
