    Karen is no longer with us, but she still lives in our hearts. 🌹🌹

    Leon Russell's heartfelt lyrics, and Karen's ANGELIC, heartwarming voice were meant for each other. Richard knew this and used his musical genius in arranging and composing to blend them to create some wonderful and timeless masterpieces. Thank you, and Rest In Peace Karen and Leon.
    Love all your reactions guys, and your genuine appreciation of Carpenters Classics!

    Written by the late great singer/songwriter Leon Russell (1970). Sung Hauntingly Beautiful by the late great Karen Carpenter. Priceless.

    The richest, purest, smoothest most angelic voice of all time and she was a fabulous drummer too.

    No matter how many times I hear this lady sing, it still amazes me! Unmatched as far as a vocalist goes.

      Same here, even after decades, her voice still gives me the chills and wonder why her life had to be cut off so short. She had a lot to deliver!!!

    The lines "I love you in a place where there's no space or time, I love you for in my life, you are a friend of mine. And when my life is over, remember when we were together, cos we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you" Gets me every time. I saw them live many times in the 70's but they didn't do this in concert. One of Karen's best vocals.

      One of the best interpretation of this song by Leon Russell. Masterclass!

      Me too! " I love you in a place where there's no space or time ". Such a beautiful line, and nobody sings it better than Karen! " I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine." I'm fighting back the tears at this point, but immediately lose it when she sings "And when my life is over," BOOM! I lose it! Both choruses! 50 years later and it gets me every time! Rest In Peace Karen and Leon!

      Karen's voice is, as always incredible, but it's the lyrics! The LYRICS and the arrangement that makes this song so special! Kudos to Richard for this arrangement...

    This song & another song popular by The Carpenters. Superstar. Were both written by Leon Russell. I suggest anyone sing these songs back to back together because the compliment each other. If u listen to the lyrics you'll notice Superstar is from the fans or groupies point if view while a Song for You us from the singer's point of view.

    Thanks for using the audio version. The TV-video used by other reactors totally cuts out the amazing Bob Messenger sax solo.

  • @deegomez2089

    I heard that Karen use to say "the money is in the basement " meaning she knew ppl wanted to hear her lower register 🎶🎵💚

    Thank you for using the studio version, as the live version lacks the wonderful sax solo.

    We should also appreciate Richard for his masterful arranging of songs like this one. "This Masquerade" is a masterpiece as well. Another hidden gem that doesn't get reviewed often is "Leave Yesterday Behind" which also shows off Karen's lower register.

      This Masquerade, yet another great Leon Russell written song.

    You have to listen to "Merry Christmas Darling" during the holidays and her voice will blow your mind.

    I had not heard this version that I can recall, familiar with Leon Russell's version. Had no idea of the tastefully done sax to match Karen's clean and clear voice in the break. Karen is easily in the top 10 of female vocalist in the last 50 years. You can't beat perfect pitch with that kind of clarity.

    This song has been covered a million times and her version is absolutely amazing , but you have to check out Ray Charles version of this song it'll bring it to your knees in tears !

  • @stevefoulston

    It was long thought that Leon Russell's muse for the song was the singer Rita Coolidge, who claimed to be the inspiration and called it "the most beautiful song ever written." They met in the late '60s when Russell was one of the top session piano players and Coolidge was getting started as a singer. Russell wrote a song called "Delta Lady" about her that Joe Cocker recorded in 1969, but at a 2015 concert in New York City, he said "A Song For You" was not about her. Peace out.

    This is another Leon Russell song, you need to hear another of Leon's songs sung by Karen called 'This Masquerade.' It was also performed by George Benson.

    The Donny Hathaway cover is beautiful as well, but I find this version absolutely haunting.
