Hal Blaine, who played the drums on a good portions of the songs on the albums; "Close To You", "Carpenters" and "A Song For You" will be turning 80 on February 5. That is absolutely amazing to live to such a ripe old age. Congratulations Hal for making it this far. Hal has had a very successful career as a drummer. Other than the Carpenters he's also played drums for Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, 5th Dimension, Herb Alpert and TJB, Jan and Dean, Dean Martin, Mamas and Papas, John Denver, Barbra Steisand, Diana Ross and many many more. Happy Birthday Hal!
