I think its safe to categorize The Carpemters' work as Pop.

Pop Music, really "Popular" Music, actually covers a wide range if you take the entire history of it into consideration.

I too, used to marvel at their performances. An entire band with perfect pitch and real musical training and experience in both Classical, Jazz and Pop musics. Wow.

If you listen carefully to the example of them posted, at one point Ken and one other male member do some background vocals, rather quick moving harmony part - and they were so dead on the tempered scale pitch that it sounds like today's Autotune was in use, snatching every note sung to dead on pitch. Only there wasn't any autotune when they were recording. That's just how good they could hear.
