As pure and lovely and bright as Karen's voice was, it was also tinged with sadness and melancholy.
Well said.
Because her Mother died as at fault and told her not to eat too many cookies! Her brother was strung out on pills for a while so he didn't care
All in all what made her so unique. She was a one-off.
No one makes your soul sing and your heart ache at the same time as much as the Carpenters.
All that and she plays the drums too.
Carole King is a DEEP rabbit hole. One of the great singer/song writers of the 1960's through the 70's.
Good segue if he wants to fall into that particular canyon would be to review Carpenters' cover of Carole's It's Going To Take Some Time...Carole King is justly an icon, and happily very much still with us.
Karen's voice was so perfect and pure. You could understand every word.
There is a story that Karen ran into John Lennon from the Beatles at an LA restaurant and he told her what an amazing voice she had, and she thanked him, but after he left, she told her dining companion can you believe that, he was just being nice, she didn't believe he was sincere. It also tells you something that the Beatles asked the Carpenters to record some of their songs, including Ticket to Ride and Please Mr. Postman.
She had a once in lifetime voice!
I like to imagine a sequel to that encounter in the restaurant. Requires that Lennon was "imagining" wrong...Heaven, February 1983. John (there since December 1980) sees Karen arrive and beelines over. With a look of mixed admiration and reproof, he tells her, "Yes I did mean it, dear." Then hands her some drumsticks and they go.off and jam...
As to Beatles covers by Carpenters, Ticket To Ride was their first single, but they also covered Help!, Goodnight and Nowhere Man...
And yet live, her voice was still resonant and perfect. No autotune. Overdubs were for effect. Her beautiful voice needed no enhancement.
Richard wrote Goodbye to Love which is one of there best songs.
Her voice was like cut glass. Absolutly flawless and pure.
Paul Williams wrote this song. He did a lot of songs around that time. Karen was known as "one-take" Karen, when recording. An incredible talent gone too soon.
Her voice is always so flawless.
- Richard is a fantastic arranger!
- He's the one responsible for the full, rich "Carpenter sound" :)
And Karen's death too...
Not alone he isn't. Couldn't have done it without her.
She was one of the greatest vocalists ever in my opinion.
There's video of Karen performing a drum solo that you should see. She was incredible! 🥁🤩
She has a mesmerizing voice. You just want to keep listening
Karen and Richard always stacked their vocals. Multiple overdubs.
They got the inspiration to stack their voices listening to Les Paul and Mary Ford. They were one of the first to do it. Also, Les Paul manufactured and sold electric guitars, some of the best ever made.
The Carpenters were a huge portion of the soundtrack of my childhood (yes, we're white suburban folks from the 70s), always there, always sounding like Gold Medal winners in mellowness. Now, it's easy to see, compared to current singers, why so many people are rediscovering Karen.
Growing up in the 70s, Karen Carpenter was one of the first musical voices I remember hearing. My mom loved the Carpenters.
If you love this song try Good Bye To Love. You will be pleasantly surprised! 😊
This is pretty much a song about depression and feeling like no matter what you do, you don't fit in. It's so much more sad knowing what happened to Karen. She's still missed over 40yrs later.
I still remember the day it was announced on the radio that she had died
Years later, my heart still breaks for her.
The Carpenters used session or studio musicians on their recordings. Many of them followed them for live appearances.
Hal Blaine and Joe Osborne played on hundreds of hits in the sixties and seventies. Motown HIts, Elvis, Beach Boys, almost every major star you could think of utitlized their talents at one time or another. "The Wrecking Crew".
A once in a generation voice, to be sure. Karen was quite an accomplished drummer as well! ☮
Thanks for this. Karen breaks my heart every time I hear her sing. And I think you’re right, she really had no idea how beautiful she was.
They were famous for layering their vocals. Les Paul and Mary Ford were the inspiration for Richard's vocal arrangements. Their voices blended so well since they were siblings. Fabulous!
Even if you are sad, listening to this song with her voice and her brother's arrangement will make you feel better!
Don't ever call yourself stupid, brother. Nice work spending the time to really dig in to a phenomenal duo and a generational voice.
lots of great music from the 70's. the carol king song came from the tapestry album; one of the greatest albums ever. almost every song was a hit for her and for many other people too.
You should hear both songs, It's Too Late and I Feel The Earth Move by Carole King. They are from her history making album called Tapestry, the first Mega-selling album by a female solo artist!😮😊
Very nice reaction. What a blessing to have a family that appreciates music & encourages your singing in church! This Carpenters is beautiful! ❤ Your sensitivity to Karen's illness is very sweet.😢 BTW, Can you please react to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - any of their greatest hits. They are a Hall of Fame band that lasted 30 years. Tom Petty is amazing! God bless!❤
Tom and the Heartbreak era were underrated!
A classic song by them.karens voice is simply beautiful. Rich,full,incredible range.perfection
I think you might really enjoy the Carpenters recording of the Beatles’ “Ticket to ride”.
Yesterday Once More, Goodbye To Love, Sing, Sweet Sweet Smile, and Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (for something very unique) are great songs left to hear.
Richard was definitely gifted with his musical arrangements and making the most of Karen’s range.
Good spotting with Richard's genius at song selection. Many of their hits were covers...which he and Karen made indelibly their own.
I hope you will continue to check out more of The Carpenters' music, as they had several hits. Three of my favorites are "Please Mr. Postman", "Yesterday once more", and "Now" which was Karen's last recording in April 1982. Every time that song starts playing, I instantly get teary eyed. I can't believe we are fast approaching the 41st anniversary of her death on February 4, 1983. What a tremendous loss...
This is another in the songbook of my life. Out of the hundreds of reactors on TH-cam, I only subscribe to two. Both of you are honest, real, and “get” the things I love about this music.
Since you mentioned Carole King, you might want to check out I Feel the Earth Move. I think you’d like it.
I think backing vocals are unaccredited - you can clearly see in the video other people singing. The guy at the end that is singing is not her brother - her brother plays the keyboard. Either way - beautiful song. Edit: Carole King is another one to hit - one of the GOAT singer/songwriters of the 70s.
You are still young and there once was so many talented artists going back to the fifties when it comes to pop or rock, jazz , jazz, or blues so it is quite normal not to know every single talented and famous artist.Karen with Richard’s production elements made us all feel melancholy or somber after listening to most of The Carpenters music!That whole album by Carole King is a must react to or listen to at least. Carole’s album is called Tapestry and everyone who liked folk or ballads back in the 1970’s, owned that record! The Wrecking Crew were the best studio musicians who ghosted many vocal group albums of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Look them up and your jaw will drop!
Check out Solitaire. I really think it showcases Karen's contralto.
Good reaction to the best, beutiful singer. I remember Carpenters very well on the radio and TV specials. She began, with her brother Richard, by playing drums. Richard, her brother, was a terrific arranger but KC's 3+ octave voice was discovered by Herb Alpert, A&M Records, in 1969, which began their road to fame. Richard convinced her that her best singing voice was contralto, 'the money is in the basement'. I believe KC's, voice, especially contralto, was the best female voice ever. She sang TO you, not at you. No auto-tune, stripping, gimmicks, or screaming. Did you know every female harmony in all of her songs was hers as well, sang, then dubbed into the song by Richard ? Her nickname was 'one take', since she always sang a song once in studio without a single re-take. She sang to you with mesmerizing emotion, perfect pitch and enunciation. Her voice compelled you to listen. She had no professional voice training. Paul McCartney said she sang Ticket To Ride better than the Beatles, and "she had the most angelic voice I have ever heard". John Lennon told her at an LA restaurant "you have a fabulous voice luv". They were most successful in early/mid1970s when she/they received 3 grammys. She was also recognized by 1975 Playboy poll as rock drummer of the year. Check other songs such as 'Solitaire', 'Only Yesterday', 'Hideaway', 'Rainy Days and Mondays,' 'Yesterday Once More', 'This Masquerade', 'I Can Dream Cant I'(a big band era song), 'Hurting Each Other', 'Need To Be In Love', 'Goodbye To Love', etc.. She had a few friends including Petula Clark, Olivia Newton John and Dionne Warwick. She had anorexia with a serious onset in 1975 that continued the rest of her life. Never knew true love. She died Feb 1983 at 32yo due to complications from anorexia. [Some info contained herein came from documentaries such as, "Only Yesterday"]. (Apology if sent this to you before on a previous KC song) 😊
Karen Carpenter died from anorexia Nervosa, very sad. Something I am fighting now (always can use prayers)
I've been fighting it on and off for 40 years. I pray for you fighting this and that you beat it.
I've taken all scales out of my house. The weighing non stop was my OCD.
I hear you I am praying for you & any one going though this it's a sad hilnes just remember you are beautiful person don't let anyone tell you any different 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️from the UK 🇬🇧
Your journey down the rabbit hole is progressing beautifully. I don’t remember if you said Karen was on drums here but mentioned Hal. This was a full lip sync performance. Karen is that good at it. She was probably singing and drumming in full voice but this was the album track. I’d be surprised if grandma didn’t have some Carpenters albums in with all that vinyl. I’m so enjoying what you do. I was 14 when I started my journey with them in 1970. So all the way minus the first album. Karen soothed this teenage boy back then.
That all said, I checked. I said and linked what I want you to see back under your reaction to “We’ve Only Just Begun.” So I won’t copy and paste but instead send you there to read and link. I have 10 checks but no heart so, it’s visible but you haven’t seen it. I think it’s an important lesson by a young singer to see how they did it all the way back then. And my song recommendation for a near future choice. I’m jbs256 Joe, so you’ll see my post. It’s relatively long but hidden until you click on the more. Keep it up, you’re making this old guy joyful.
What I will do, because of this song is tell you more about the 18 year old young woman I linked her demo for you. She’s 20 now and last year released her Short cover of Rainy Days.and Mondays. It drew a comment on eye-geee from a user named paulielama2. He said of her rendition “beautiful, soulful, effortless … and felt, not performed. You are remarkable. Gifted. Thank you!!! Absolutely love your voice.”
Now here’s your goosebumps moment. She replied to paulielama2 “this means so much more than you know, Mr. Williams. Thank you…”
When the man who cowrote the song says that about your performance what more can I tell you. Paul said it all.
So when you go watch her demo, and maybe react to The Medley I linked. You will have learned a whole lot more on this magical journey.
My best to you,
Joe
♥ her voice!
This is one of my favorite songs. By the way if an act is the first to record a song, even if they didn't write it, it's not a cover. It's interesting to find out the Wrecking Crew were the instrumentalists. They're responsible for a surprising amount of the backing music for many legendary albums. You ought to do a research and react to them. Would it surprise you that the counterculture influenced critics of the day dismissed the Carpenters as being too soft rock? Yet they're still being listened to and rediscovered.
For us "baby boomers" who grew up listening to music from the great decade of the 70s, Karen's voice ALWAYS gave us mixed emotions. I smile and tear EVERY time hearing their songs. Yes, it is multiple tracks but their live concerts were awesome!
Karen recorded this song lying flat down on pillows on the studio floor. She wanted to get that pure melancholy heartfelt feeling to really come through in her vocals. Karen truly sang from her heart❤ We miss you Karen❤
Fascinating video just reviewed again counted 12 "Beautiful's" for Miss Karen Carpenter & The Carpenters. I have to absolutely agree 1000% that Miss Karen Carpenter deserved and earned each and every "Beautiful" not given out lightly. I have gotten great pleasure myself listening to The Carpenters for over 55 years. I can feel what your feeling. You are not stupid by the way, very intelligent, probably due to your Grandma may she rest in peace. Keep up the wonderful work. So long for now. Go KC Go
Yesterday once more.
So beautiful, poor Karen lived such a tragic life. She has the voice I would imagine an angel would possess Rest easy in heaven Karen ❤
Awesome reaction . The voice of Karen Carpenter is timeless. So many great songs
You have exquisite taste for a young man.
I really enjoyed your sincere reaction…I love that young people also appreciate the songs from my youth. Karen Carpenter’s voice was perfect 👍👍❤️
The backing vocals are predominantly Karen and Richard. Occasionally they would include other vocalists.
I was a kid when this first came out, and the only time I ever got to hear it was on AM radio. At 8 years old, this was the first song that made me cry. It felt so sadly personal, and private.
"Nothing is really wrong feelin like I don't belong" Karen had a unique way to emotionally sing, and it was like she was singing to me. I very much remember the first time I heard this.
Goodbye to Love ( witten by Richard), Solitaire and A Song For You are all amazing!!
One of the best vocalists ever. Pure. Emotion. Beautiful.
And Richard's arrangements complement her angelic tones perfectly.
Richard along with Brian Wilsonof the Beach Boys were 2 in the industry that started to layer their voices several to hundreds of times to come up with that easy listening and fantastic effects. Later you have the Mommas and the Poppas and others
I still remember the words to every early Carpenters song. I was just a kid and she was everything.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Grandma. Although it's good to hear something about the reactors life. The other voices are studio session members. And multiple tracks. That's all Richards doing. Welcome to 70's music my friend. No auto tune, just talent. My 2nd fav Carpenters tune.
One of my favorite Carpenters songs is called "And When He Smiles", lesser known song that never got released on an album until 2004. Really good video of them playing it live on here
Richard was inspried by Phil Spector who was into layering voices, so yes it is them on background vocals and he layered their voices.
AND she’s playing the drums!
Over 150 million and counting!
Gordon Lightfoot is another wonderful artist who is worth a listen. There is a documentary about him from his early days up to his death. A surprising fact is that most of his hits were written from personal experiences and relationships, which is explained by himself as well as friends, fellow artists, agents etc. my personal favourite is “If You Could Read My Mind (Love)” great Canadian Superstar ❤
Listen to "Goodbye to Love," which was just one of their big hits written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis. The majority of their earliest tunes were written by Richard and John. Goodbye to Love has a fabulous guitar solo in it, which was Richard's idea .
A reviewer from Rolling Stone magazine once said, "Karen Carpenter's voice is like the sound of a lover whispering in your ear." One of the purest singing voices... EVER!!
Yes, then they rated her #94 out of 100 Top Singers of All Time? She barely made the bar according to them.
@@bruschmidt9943 An individual reviewer vs. the magazine as a whole. Truthfully, I don't put much stock in R.S., but like the mainstream media...sometimes the truth slips out.
YEAH YOU GET IT! YOU SEE THE BEAUTY IN VOICE. I BELIEVE SHE'S A LEGEND, I AGREE WITH YOU THAT I HAVE MULTIPLE TRACKS OF THE BACKUP VOICES! GREAT REVIEW❤
Karen Carpenter has perfect pitch. It was my understanding that she can do a song in one take. I don’t believe she and her brother had written any of the songs. Richard arranged the songs for her the studio recordings, she and Richard are singing, backing vocals on all of the songs. Richard does sing lead on a few songs. Because they have the same genetics siblings always sound good when doing harmonies. The Osmond brothers, the Jackson 5 and the brothers Gib better known as the Bee Gees
You need to listen to The Carpenters "A Song For You"...the one with the long sax solo and the extra verse. The harmonies are FIRE!
You are correct. Hal did studio drumming. Karen would drum live. She was an excellent drummer along with being the best singer who ever lived. Richard is a genius.
the backing vocals are just the 2 of them but it is multiple tracks as you suggested but it was their voices multiplied until the depth of sound Richard wanted was achieved.
You are right multiple tracks and over dubbing. It was brilliant studio work by Richard. He was the first one I believe to incorporate that layered vocal effect .
when i first heard paul williams singing it i hated it but i gave it chances and its so beautiful just different arrangements both golden
Hal Blaine and Joe Osborne were part of The Wrecking Crew...on the first couple of albums, Karen played a few studio tracks... otherwise she focused on vocals. Onstage, she went back and forth. Ballads she came up to front the band. Otherwise, she was behind the drums.,❤
My all time favorite by The Carpenters! And that’s saying a lot cause I love each and every song they did!
When Karen and Richard recorded different background vocal tracks they would vary some of them slightly to give it more richness. Also, when they performed on stage some of the band members would do some background vocals.
For All We Know is my favorite song by them, my only complaint is it's too short, LOL!
I've seen videos of the band members singing backup harmonies. js
Karen and Richard are the background vocals. Multi-tracked.
I would love it if you took the journey with Carole King. Oh my goodness, the entire tapestry album is fantastic!
That drummer can sing in a pinch.
KAREN'S FAVE SONG TO SING="I NEED TO BE IN LOVE",LIVE,1974(I think).INCREDIBLE.From TV I think.
You would be suprised watchin`her *Drum Solo* !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
"I NEED TO BE IN LOVE",LIVE
You are correct...they did mutitracking of their vocals. They were inspired on how Les Paul used to do with Mary Ford. If you want to hear beginnings of mutitracks listen to the paul/ford version of how high the moon. (Then listen to the Pat Sazuki version for something more haunting)
This video explains the multi tracking techniques employed by the carpenters.
Richard and Karen are singing multiple tracks of themselves. You're correct
I think this song kind of intensified for me after Karen’s death in 1983. It added an extra layer of sadness to it for me. Still a hauntingly beautiful song.
It’s all them
"The Wrecking Crew" was a name given to a loose association of California session players. They were in high demand in the 50s, 60s and 70s as they were very polished musical performers. They were on tons of hit records. There is an excellent documentary on them called The Wrecking Crew you can watch. Most are long gone now.
th-cam.com/video/-ZgBexrZvM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HLz7gvcQxYa_vmy8
READ THE COMMENTS!!
The vocals are multi-tracked.
Read about Richard as a producer.
And Karen is playing the drums too!
Hal played drums LATER for their songs. KC played drums alot live and in studio.
Their brother & sister she died at 30 or 31 from anerexia nurvosa it was a sad day the 2nd of February
You are a savant in music I can tell especially how you recieve Miss Karen Carpenters voice. But your right some how Mr Richard Carpenter her brother blended the background vocals on multiple tracks. I am not a musician at all, you would probably know how its done. He got the idea from big band groups of the 1940's, how they blended and performed with multiples of the same instruments together, like 2 or 3 saxaphones together, or 2 or 3 trumphets together, so forth and so on, while playing a song. He just did it with voices on tracks in the 1970's. Again I am not a musician, I just love the sound of The Carpenters, since 1970, and Miss Karen Carpenter velvet voice just sends me to the moon. She brings the song to you the listener and gives it life. Just likea motion picture, she is actually living the song, and you the audience is witnessing it first hand with your ears. Dig deeper in their documentries and you will find out details of this majestic group that their music shall last forever. Thanks for enjoying this part of musical genius. I think they call it dub or dubing voices record your singing voice while playing it you can double it multiply by four or eight etc etc I think they call it stacked vocals devised by a country dual named Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1951 he did it by switching on his guitar called over dubbing. Whatever that means????
This is so fantastic. Please consider ...
It's a compilation of their own stuff and covers. Doesn't do whole songs. Just little snippets but it's just amazing and it includes that really long drum one that you see where she plays many different sets. Really worth it
Watch "Karen Carpenter - The Drummer" on TH-cam

Arranger. Richard was the arranger of the song.
This was the studio version, not live. Karen was drum-synching purely for this video. The actual drums were played by Hal Blaine.
Please react to We’ve only just begun. It was a popular graduation song
Karen and Richard really perfected the "sound wall". Such a loss to the world of music when Karen died. Enya shirts the sound wall thing. One voice.
There was a Country Western couple in the 50’s that that were masters of the over dubbed. Richard copied their techniques going 8+tracks deep.
