I am now 54 years old. I just lost my mother last year. hear carpenter's song It's like I hear my mother's voice every time.
I was fortunate enough to be in the audience at this concert. My husband was in the orchestra and it was a night to remember! Looking at her now brings tears to the eyes and who could have imagined that we would lose her. Wonderful memories.
You're so so so lucky! I'm glad for you. I wish I was born in that era.
Yeah right..
Don't see many shows like this anymore. So lucky.
'Adele at the observatory' was close.
Wow you are soooo lucky... The Carpenter became my favorite since my mom always played them almost everyday.
Looking now , tears comes so hard ❤️🎤🎼What an amazing artist ❤️
A gentleman and his perfect lady sister. If only we could turn back the hands of time ! There was "so much of life ahead", sadly lost to them both with Karen's passing. Brilliant musicians sadly missed to this day by me. RIP Karen.......Angel on earth !
Karen Carpenter was one of a kind one of the most blessed voices of all time
I'm a 65 year old retired Texas cop and she is one of the few women in my lifetime who could make me cry.
I feel the same sir. I shed a tear when she died, I have backed many a singer in my time as a band leader . She was an amazing soul. Enjoy your retirement.
@@tomgee3613 Thank you.
Hello! I am 29, from India.
I feel the exact same thing.
I am glad that I came across Carpenters. Such pure voice she had! ❤️
Totally agree with you. Greatest female voices of all times. Sifu Len Jackson Maroon Fist Association
sir, she made me cry too, and i'm just 30 by now. actually, i cried a lot over her songs many years ago as it's actually not about the age sir, it's about the sensation.
I cried the day she died & one of the few times I ever did that. As a nurse, I use to sing her songs to my pts young & old! ❤❤❤
This is probably the most extended example of Richard's superb ability as a pianist.
I work in the music industry and I can truly say that it is not a myth, she was incredible. Even the most talented singers have a hard time singing slowly and softly but that was where she was at her strongest. She was a recording engineer's dream. Her pitch was always absolutely spot on. Her tone was absolute beauty and she put passion behind every word she sang. And a huge kudos to her brother and the incredible band.
❤, That says it all about the Carpenters. Karen will never be duplicate or anybody with singing talent will never come close to her Abilities.

Hey Jimmie. I live in Ontario CA 30 miles from Downey. I've been told for 40 years I sound like Karen and I have singing to her since 1976! Let's meet just have fun with some songs I will sing for you and you judge. :)
Let's just jam and remember ❤
Let's just jam and remember ❤
40 years ago we lost one of the greatest female singers of all time! Her musical legacy lives on, I feel privileged to be able to enjoy her voice in 2023 ❤
DITTO 🥰
I saw them in Ottawa at the Fall fair circa 1970 when they were just getting going. I remember Richard saying to the audience, "some people think that Karen and I are married". Karen replied with the 1970 equivalent of "Eeewwwwwwww".
Shame they exploited her. She was not happy.
EDIT: may her brother understand what he did to her.
I think she died at the age of 32.if I'm wrong 🤔
No one can carry a time like Karen did
There was absolutely no difference between her live voice and her recorded albums... she sang with perfection every time. What a gift they were to all of us...
If possibile, live is better.
Unbelievable.
live is better cmiiw
@@mchetb Mostly because you witness the pure talent and beauty. No filters needed.
Hello friend
This was back in the days when singers had to know how to sing Live and without the studio magic like we have today.
She was so beautiful here and her voice is perfection.
41 years since that beautiful woman with that extraordinary voice passed away...it's 1:30 Am when I finished watching this video in my place, Jersey City, New Jersey......always been a fan of the Carpenters and will always be, now at my 72nd birthday and many mores to come.....God may have you singing for him pretty lady, gone too early!!!
With tears in my eyes I write this....as a teenager in the 70's I remember how much of a crush I had on Karen Carpenter. I thought and still think she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen or heard. No yelling, or filters in her music...so lovely, so pure. The voice of an angel...I love you and miss you forever....
I feel the same way she is so awesome I miss her!
Me too I think she will always be remembered as one of the greatest most natural singers of all time .I had the biggest crush on her in the 70's .
Morire a trentadue anni per anoressia per me che amo la voce di Caren e ' una cosa molto grave.R.I.P.😂😂😂
Comento que a mi me pasó lo mismo...y ahora, después de muchos años me siento igual.
Y estoy seguro que en muchos países hay otros que piensan y sienten lo mismo.
Saludos desde México.
She was at her most happiest when playing the drums.
What a talent.
No kidding. She was a female louie bellson/ gene krupa
I noticed that too👍
Their regular drummer should have just backed off and let her play.
@@em7dim9 Yes, but Richard always wanted her out front. She had great timing!
@@raya1849: Richard was right, she was an absolutely wonderful vocalist and…well, let’s be honest…a pretty average drummer.
このコンサートからもう48年ですよカレンさん リチャードの服装は時代を感じるが 貴方方の歌に曲は少しも色褪せてはいません また 聞きに来ます
Many decades ago when I lived in Los Angeles, I used go out for some great BBQ dinners @ Chris & Pitt's BBQ restaurant on the corner of Gallatin & Lakewood in Downey. I'd often see Richard & his family there in a big curved booth quietly having dinner, too. I'd nod & smile, but I never intruded on their family time. They were sweet, normal, down-to-earth folks whose two children were blessed with incredible talent. Karen will never be forgotten.
To this day she’s untouchable, one of the most amazing voices in this planet, she had everything and gave us the beautiful gift leaving her legacy forever !
What an amazing singer Karen Carpenter was. And a musician too ?! Every note she sang... that quality! ❤ She sounds identical to the records. Really one of the best singers this world has seen.
日本語で失礼しますが、私今61歳ですがはじめて音楽に目覚めたのが小学6年の時友だちが、カーペンターズのカセットをくれたので、毎晩寝る前聞いてました。カレンの声に引き込まれ時には感動で涙が出ることもありました😢カーペンターズ最高です🎉
😊🇬🇧
Os Carpenters só apareceram e fizeram sucesso por causa da Karen. Que não se esqueçam disto!
Watching this in 2024 and even though I grew up (a child of the 50s) hearing her voice its like I'm hearing her voice for the very first time. I know I will hear her again someday up there among the stars! Karen, his worn out old world could use you around today. There will never be another you sweet girl. 💕💕
She was so beautiful. Her voice will endure forever as one of the best of all times.
Yes, a great voice. The best die young. RIP
Her music touched my heart, and made me love the love of my life even more. It was a time of love, and I still love you.
The best of all times.
True
The sweetest, richest, most emotional female voice ever. So sad we lost her so young.
Please don't hate me for saying this, but I miss this kind of singing, mellow, no screaming. Not sure who or what started that trend that singers today have to scream till' their vocal about to snap in 2. This so pleasing to the ear, you know. Thanks Karen for the memory
I like all kinds. To your point it started with Led Zeppelin. I was born in 78' but all kinds of vocal types can exist at the same time.
You should listen to Freddy Mercury……some say he was the best male singer ever
Listen to Kacey Musgraves
no hate here
Why they can't make great music like this
She was one of the best female singers of our time. No one came close to her. My dad passed away 3 weeks ago and he admired her voice!
Meus sentimentos 😢
Ich Danke Dir für die Musik Ich erinnere mich an Dich Danke und immer in Erinnerung an dich ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Danke für die Musik ❤❤❤❤❤Danke
Danke für immer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paul McCartney said she had the best voice of the 20th Century.
Her voice is like velvet! I can’t believe she really sounds like that live. What a beautiful talent
I have 😍 loved The Carpenters since I was 11 yrs.old. I use to hide under the bedsheets with my little radio way after bedtime searching the airways for Superstar. It was top at the time. I'm now 61 yrs. Old and still am an avid fan. How I cried 😢 the day we lost Karen. She was so perfect in her performances 😭. Little could we believe she was on the road to self destruction. I still tear up when I watch videos. She was so beautiful.
@@tammielawrence1214 I agree with you. Her voice has always been hauntingly beautiful, as was she. Such a troubled lady thanks to the producers who told her she was too fat for tv at 115 lbs. From what I understand, she didn't get anorexia until they told her she needed to lose weight. I cry nearly every time I hear her songs. My mom loved her voice and their show too, and we were hooked (even though I was 6 yrs old). We just had to watch them every week no matter what! Her voice is smooth as melted butter. Richard's talent writing and playing all those songs is just incredible. They really were a dynamic duo. So glad she found out she could sing as well as play drums! Rest in peace, Karen.
Velvet, perfect word to describe her voice...
The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
@@MD-hg9dq So true...We must be very thankful to these great artists because they sacrifice themselves for us tough!
I am 50 years old and I grew up listening The Carpenters. Richard was very talented but Karen's voice was just amazing. I love Karen's voice. Today's music is rubbish.
I agree Dave but was it selfish of us to move her from the drum kit and begin the downward trajectory of which this concert is but a part..
Dave Wiseman and i am 15 years older to lisen to this magic
this today music is rubbish
Today there are many talented singers too, but they don't get AS popular as the rubbish music that does. Also, the singing styles are a little different, which is I think why many older people don't like even the talented young singers. I'm 23, I like both the old school vocal styles and the newer ones.
Rubbish, you are definitely english.
Such amazing Artist..Karen had a Voice like a Angel. Carpenters Classics will live on forever. Thanks for the Memories❤
If you’ve ever wondered how angels sound while singing, this must be it
The most beautiful voice that I have ever heard in my 55 years on this planet.
I was telling my wife the same thing, just before reading comments
Simple. No hype. No hyperbole
Same. I believe the same. ❤️ What a smooth voice! ❤️
I fell in love with Karen when I was 7. I simply heard her sing. It was nothing like anything I ever heard before.
I agree 100%
Karen Carpenter was a once in a generation, even a lifetime, talent. Her voice, her pitch and her ability to bring any song to life was just unparalleled. So sad that she was snatched from us so soon. May she rest in peace. We shall never forget her!
I would say once in a century.
She wasn't snatch from us she made a decision that cost her life sad to say it she was my favorite female singer and still is 😪
She was almost 4 months older than me. I always thats she was much older. The way she carried herself. Her voice was amazing . I wish she could have been with us LONGER!!!!!💜💜💜
Taylor swift is far far away from singing legend miss karen when comes to singing beautifully .
There is only one singing goddess and she is miss karen carpenter.
RIP .
Karen Carpenter was always happiest behind her drums.
Pure raw talent. No monitors, no ear pieces, no autotune, just pure talent! ! ! Thank you for uploading this. I saw the same concert presentation in Toronto back in 76. This post brought back some great memories. This is how music should be performed.
+Malcolm Katzenberger Amazing Malcolm what real talent sounds like, :)
+Malcolm Katzenberger - I keep thinking I hear more instruments than what I see. Some brass, orchestra, strings. Is there a second keyboard out there or what?
+Malcolm Katzenberger - However the live lead vocal in particular is a treat.
But the harp at the beginning of the Spike Jones bit is clearly not visible. Somewhere after 8:00
Sorry now I see the orchestra!~
What surprises me. Look at this show, and compare it to the shows today. Nobody lost their clothes, nothing exploded. no one busted their guitar, no near nude dancers, no skin, no one squeeze their genitals, . It was simply, pure talent and immensely enjoyable.
Very well said, I agree 100 per cent!
Yeah, and ALL instruments! No electronic trash.
Why to go Girl!
Voices, maybe talent, not so. Karren more talented I think.
Entertainers of the Past had Class . Today , they do all they can to be Classless .
My heart broke when she died. The most amazing voice ever. ❤❤❤
Sings a few words and gets an applause! Truly such an incredible singer
Karen is easily in the top 10 of the greatest female voices of all time.
Michael D ummmm, top 3, seriously.
@@kevinpowers8255 I used 10 as a round number, as there were a few singers from days gone by whom we tend to forget, such as Nana Mouskouri, Mama Cass Elliot and Shirley Bassey. Currently, there are singers like 'Aurora', with her exceptionally pure and crystal clear vocals. Watch this if you are not familiar with her: th-cam.com/video/GPTY6l_PX5k/w-d-xo.html Her voice is truly stunning! I agree though, Karen is probably in the top 3 or so, hence me saying 'easily' in the top 10. Stay well!
@@michaeld2519 Karen was the best,!!!!!!
She hits every single note perfectly. Her voice is flowing purity.
Definitely in the Top 3 with Ella Fitzgerald and Rocío Jurado (from Spain).
@@michaeld2519 i agree
Almost 40 years since her death and she’d only be 70 now. Best female voice ever, lost far too early.
pretty bold statement. there are a lot of good singers. she was a good one, but there are others. look up "Rumer". literally the same voice.
@@Bartimaeeus you must be def no-one sounds like her noone will
Karen is same age like my mother in law and thank god my MIL still in good health till now. RIP Karen.
@@Bartimaeeus just looked into "Rumer" as you suggested, & no way the same voice. She has a good voice but lacks the depth & range of Karen.
@@Bartimaeeus not as good it was only a rumour
The best female voice in the 60's, 70's and 80's, simply heaven sent.
typical male comment
Karen and Richard produced timeless music. 40 years on I still feel very sad about Karens passing. Emotionally, Karen always gets me.
She looks happiest playing the drums. She was a great drummer cursed with a fantastic voice.
I would have loved to have a curse like a great voice!
Glad someone understands that Karen felt passion for playing the drums and did look joyful playing. Am sorry for her tragic losing her way giving away pieces of ourselves. I think the tunes would have been lovely enough with Richard singing. Instead of imposing what we like we need to start listening better.
There will only be one Karen Carpenter who constantly sang each song down to perfection.
Miss Karen Carpenter, Rest In Peace.

Forty years this year and I am positive that Richard misses her every day. An irreplaceable team of the best talent, ever. Many blessings to the family.
This is the best piece of music of the 20th century.
listening this afternoon. missing good old days 2019 anyone?
2019 here
Me too
Karen forever
Yes
Still, and forever
I remember when The Carpenters came out.. When they sang the ending section, of "Close To You", I felt like I had gone to heaven, It was a tremendously joyous sound. The songs were so well crafted, it took me a bit to realize what an incredible singer, Karen was. At first I felt it was just a voice, pleasant, great pitch, good phrasing etc. It took a while to for it to dawn on me, she has the perfect voice, She doesn't 'jazz or grit it up'. It just comes out pure, and soulfully clear.. Her command of phrasing, where to put her vibratos. It was then I noticed she could control the intro and outdo of it, and the speed. The vast majority of singers, can only turn on/off their vibrato. The concept and execution of 'fading it in and out' is foreign. Karen used her voice as virtuoso instrument. She continuously introduces small and subtle changes, color changes of certain syllables. And Richards arrangements, were truly brilliant.
What a gift The Carpenters were/are.
This is the best comment I have read from those trying to capture just what "it" was that she had that made her voice so absolutely unique, soul touching, and iconic. She was simple, pure, powerful, and completely in control of every nuance of it! I read that she actually had a 3-octave range. Most all of the popular "Karen Carpenter" songs [my favorites] are in her contralto range. I would love to hear some of her higher range songs.
You apparently have a great knowledge of music, that description makes perfect sense. She was amazing.
If there's a time machine, I would totally visit American 60's and on. The Country life.
Good music , peaceful life. ☺️😊☮️
Thank you for your comment, very well said.
You said everything! As a singer, she is a real inspiration for vocal technique, I learned a lot by listening her and without any lessons except warm up 🤍🙏🏼
I loved them. I dropped a coffee cup full of coffee on my parents rug when i heard about Karen and started crying. My parents were lucky enough to see them open for Tom Jones in Chicago.

Everything about the Carpenters is CLASS...their dress, their voices, their music and the songs have real meaning, and they even got the Brits clapping. They must be class!!
We miss you Karen from
The United States of America . You were the bestt
After all this time, I still never get tired of listening to the Carpenters. What a terrific duo!!!

Absolutely!
Boy, we really didn't know what we had in these two, taking it all for granted at the time -- they were so very exceptional attracting some of the best writers in the business and doing such justice to their compositions. God bless you Karen -- you are surely missed. And thank you Richard for the perfection you gave. 12/2017
I love both Carpenters...such great talent ***
You left us way to early Karen. The music world still loves you and your ANGELIC VOICE. R.I.P. sweetheart.Sing for our LORD❤.
I always heard Karen on the radio. Enjoyed the songs of her singing. Never saw any photos or read about her and Richard. Until today on utube 2023! How could Karen sing so well being sick?? 😮 Not eating good food for energy. Sad.😢 She was so very pretty. 😇📖🕊
Hands down,,,, she has the purest, effortless voice! Her voice haunting as well as friendly ❤
Great description
To be sure
They're so awesome
Notice how smooth her intro into the song; as if she had already been singing and simply effortlessly continued on. She was a singer's singer and had one of the most beautiful voices ever.
It is so wonderful to see how happy she was playing drums. I've always been so in love with her. I miss her. RIP sweet Karen.
She was so special, a sweet beautiful voice. Every time I listen to her timeless songs I feel "close to you". There will never be another like Karen Carpenter ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2019 anyone??? I still love karen carpenter 😔
Yip! Amazing talent
Yes, her voice is uniquely beautiful
Always 😊
Im lovin her even more bcoz of her song "You"
yes...her voice was the most beautiful and quality ;) a love duet..George Michael and Karen Carpenter :) 2 most beautiful voices on these planet :)))
No one can replace her she is a legend...her voice simply beautiful..
I am speechless! What great talents were the Carpenters siblings!! I am a pro musician and I admire them as a fan as a professional. CONGRATS! A zillion times!!!
When.she was healthy they said she was chubby and when she got too thin they said she was a skeleton. I hate Critics. Put them in the spotlight and let's see how they fair!!! I'm also a Musician!!!I've had a lot of tragedy the past few years and it's been really hard. I hope things get better. My Second born was in a terrible car accident on Thursday evening two days ago and the guy who hit her died. He was riding a motorcycle and hit the passenger side of her car. She has a back Injury. She may need Spine surgery. Gosh I hope not!!!!!! I was Also Anorexic and Bulimic for 30 years and I finally overcame it about 12 years ago. I now eat one good meal a day. I also eat a Cliff Bar or Granola bar after I eat my dinner. Sometimes a banana. I try. I'm probably a little overweight now. My Youngest Daughter and Youngest Child passed away 7 months ago from Fentanyl overdose. I'm crushed. Now tomorrow I'm going my Second Born Daughter who was in the bad car accident on Thursday. I love Karen Carpeter and Richard Carpenter. Musical Geniuses. What a legacy.I plan on dropping about 20-30 pounds now. I will be confident again and get my stage presence back again. I know everything in moderation.....
@@whendis.roberts9903 It is very cruel to say to a person "she was chubby and when she got too thin they said she was a skeleton", but on the other hand, a person must be strong enough not to listen to stupid comments like those! Karen is a muse and I always loved her. But she should have never listened to so much crap! My 2 cents.
Grew up listening to the Carpenters songs. Karen's voice is still elegant to hear. I'm in my sixties and still listen to there songs.❤😊
Angel voice + Drumer = The perfect woman.
We miss you Karen :´(
2023 and I am listening to you Karen amidst the chaos and turbulent surrounding this tired old World. I know you're looking down on us from up there whoever is listening to your singing. Thanks for leaving us your beautiful voice that is so special, breezy and soothing with a tinge of nostalgia before you left. ❤️❤️❤️
✌️✌️✌️
45 years later and she STILL makes me melt
Thank you Billy Rees for this video! I loved watching Karen and Richard Carpenter perform!! Karen had the perfect female alto voice! Absolutely no one was ever better than she was. She was also a gifted drummer 🥁!!!! Of course, her brother Richard was excellent on the 🎹 piano.
I always loved how the Carpenters sang. I had a few of their songs played at my wedding in 1981. RIP. Karen Carpenter Your Beautiful Soul and Voice are Truly Missed.🎉❤❤
Karen’s voice was just one of a kind. That’s it.
Sad to lose her so early 😢
Karen hasn't got to force her voice unlike many singers, she does not need to hit high pitch like many singers , yet her voice is just smooth, cristal clear, sweet and pure like a unique pearl. No other singers voice came close to her, not even Divas like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey to name some of the best, She is just unique on her own, an Angel voice. The best in the history of Pop singers.
I'm only bummed she didn't do all the songs full version...😔
@@Beachcheeka I know..... right? Similar to seeing Chicago in concert in that they had SO MANY HITS, they'd be there all night if they played all of their great hits in total rather in medley form. 😊
Karens drumming skills and vocal abilities will always be incredible, but Rchards' abilities on that piano were just amazing. They really are the perfect duo. Their music legacy will live on in the hearts of all who enjoy their music. ❤️
Their will never be another Richard and Karen Carpenter. For those of us who grew up in the 70s, we truly experienced the best of the best. The music in that era of time was unforgettable. Nothing can ever compare.
❤ Greetings from the coast of Mississippi. Only one of the greatest duo group ever. Been listening for over 50 years
I remember when people used to make fun of these two. Cornball music they said. I hope they all realize now how incredible The Carpenters sounded. Karen is an angel and Richard is a great musician.
She is making recording level vocals all the time, what an angel.
Such a class act, lost too early. The Carpenters are on my playlists. Their Christmas Album is magic.

True, thanks
Si claro muy buen gusto gracias 😊
I always play her music
Ya es 4 de Mayo de 2024 y Karen Carpenter suena como un ángel maravilloso que me hace volver a mi niñez de los años 1974 a 1980 ... Su voz es inmortal en el planeta Tierra .
Karen's voice is pure perfection. It will always be pure perfection.
Voice of an angel. Though I have never met her, her voice touched my heart like an old friend. Greatly missed. There will never be another voice like hers. Heaven is lucky to have her.Best voice I've heard.I was cried when I have heard she's died in 1983.RİP angel of loving hearts.With love from Turkey.
When the popularity of disco music skyrocketed in the mid-70's, the Carpenters virtually disappeared. I think I would have cringed had they gone into that direction themselves and fortunately they did not.
Karen Carpenter's early passing was a tremendous loss in the world of popular music.
De beste zangeres ooit.Geweldig wat een stem.Ik wordt nog verdrietig als ik haar nu weer zie.❤
This concert was filmed a year before my birth. Their songs always remind me of my childhood everytime I heard them over the radio. It's 2023 now, and I'm in a metal band but still my heart melts with their songs. A huge respect for their musical virtuosity. Thank you for sharing your music to the world, Carpenters of the broken souls.

Thanks! I am about to hit 60yrs old and so afraid that younger generations might not carry their legacy foward.Glad to know there are still younger generations out there with great taste in music and appreciation for real talent.
I love Karen Carpenter.I’ve been listening to their music since their beginning. I still play their music almost everyday. It’s so good, to good to stop listening
Great to see this. The drummer, Cubby O'Brian is an original Mouseketeer with Annette Funicello. He played a drum solo on the Mickey Mouse Club and was killing it then.
We love you Karen Carpenter.

Very special and emocionality
One of a kind. Sorely missed. But Her voice will live forever ❤️❤️❤️
Here I am, listening to those absolutely gorgeous songs, thinking of how much we have taken for granted through our youth. I am grateful, so very much, to have been given the chance to study in the States and learn such a beautiful and poetic language! I miss those times, back in the 70's, miss the Carpenters and so much more! They were unbeatable! Glorious times! Thank you God!
Every Christmas time when the Carpenters songs are on the radio, I get really teary. Karen was an angel.
it was her version of "Home for the Holidays" that converted me...3 Christmases ago...pure honey on steel
❤ A-men!!!❤

No one will ever ever ever be able to duplicate the magnificent voice of Karen Carpenter. ❤
