Originally the title of the song was "groupie".... the carpenters were the top U.S. hitmakers of the 1970's... classic pop songs, many top 10 hits and others in the top 40 and top 100... she was a world class drummer and her brother a world class pianist who sang back up and did all of the composing and arranging of their songs, they did all of the background vocals themselves using a dubbing technique.
She sang and recorded this song "superstar" in 1 take! reading the lyrics off a napkin! and only 21 years old at the time! her voice then and now is considered one of if not THEE greatest female pop voice of love and romance songs of all time! surely the most pure, rich, intimate, warm, movingly beautiful voice you'll ever hear... she sang TO YOU NOT AT YOU!..
Your bang on
NO ONE can or will ever match Karen's unique beautiful angelic voice
Yes i totally agree.
I’m in tears this morning listening to her. It’s so tragic that her insecurity of her looks is what eventually killed her. It’s such a shame that she couldn’t see what we did…..A truly beautiful, talented and sensitive woman. RIP Karen 🙏
I thought she was beautiful inside and out. So tragic she couldn’t see what we did.
The most beautiful voice in all of music’s history in my opinion! She passed away only a month away from her 33rd birthday on February 4, 1983 from heart failure due to over 10 years of anorexia. If I recall correctly, she was the one who brought eating disorders out into the light. She went in for treatment for it in 1981 and was still doing amazing with her recovery. She had been staying that week with her parents in her childhood home and was getting ready that morning to spend the day with her parents. When her mother thought she was taking too long to get ready, she opened her bedroom door to check in on her and found her on the floor. She was taken to the hospital and the doctors did all they could do, but it wasn’t enough. Her heart had just taken way too much damage over the years. I grew up listening to her with my grandmother who just adored her as did I. So many fond memories with her songs. I just wish she was here today so I could tell her how much her work meant to us. ❤
🙏
Amen to that!
A voice like a warm blanket. One of a kind and the mold was broken. Also, Karen was a WORLD CLASS drummer!
Karen also plays the drums. When they started out she played the drums while singing. Then they decided she needed to be out front when she sings for everyone to see who has that beautiful voice. Such a loss at a young age.
Actually the lead vocal was supposed to be the DEMO, Karen sung the lead reading the words from a napkin…. She sang it so well that Richard decided to use it on the single… She was also a TERRIFIC jazz drummer, she plaid and sung at the same time… watch RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS, it’s an AMAZING SONG
I will definitely subscribe if you do that one 😜
If honey could sing it would sound like Karen Carpenter.
Good description 👍
honey, silk, a refreshing breeze, the greatest smell of wood burning, the warmest hug, and so on... her vocals and her phrasing and interpretation is a down to your soul experience...
Apparently Karen would often record some songs in only one take in the recording studio. Just perfection. Superstar was one of those songs. I believe she was only 20 or 21 when they recorded it.
Her nickname was "one take" Karen
and she recorded this song in one take reading the lyrics off a napkin! otherworldly incredible..
Yep…One Take Karen! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Karen's voice is often called angelic. Carpenters had a dozen top 10 hits. Recommend We've Only Just Begun, Close to You, Ticket to Ride (Beatles cover), Rainy Days And Mondays, Hurting Each Other. I Won't Last a Day Without You.
How much is a dozen of 10 be? LMBOOTYOFF 🤣
Almost every radio station played this Angels voice repeatedly.
They even proved with computers that she has perfect pitch. Just an amazing once in a lifetime talent. She was also famous for nailing every song on the very first take. Best female singer of all time, hands down.
I know there are and have been others who play drums and sing but they don't have a voice like hers. She never fails to give me chills every time I hear her perfect voice.
The way she manifests the emotion into the lyrics is epic.
Karen's voice is angelic. She sadly passed away from anorexia. They have at the least a dozen hit songs. Other songs, We've Only Just Begun, Solitaire, For All We Know.
Goodbye to love. Another great.
Karen had the MOST beautiful voice. Thank you for featuring her💝
Blessed to have grown up with the beautiful music of The Carpenters!!!!
Angels blessed Karen with a beautiful voice and mad drumming skills. Her brother Richard was blessed with songwriting skills, playing the piano and singing background, Ridiculous talent in this family!
Karen was also the drummer and she was great!!! Softest most beautiful voice ever.
As incredible as her voice was, she considered herself a drummer who sang and not a singer who played drums. She has drum videos that would blow your mind. So talented.
She actually was obsessed with the drums. They had to pull her away from it as she didnt want to be the attention getter at one time. Little did she know. She is the star behind the talent and skill writing of her brother of a genius. The perfect match together as siblings.
She easily could have been a very successful studio/session drummer.
Her voice is as Smooth as silk, beautiful. Always loved her voice. A rabbit hole in front of you for the carpenters . A lit of Good ones recommended in comments.
Yes, that was Richard on the keyboard. Karen had a voice like no other, but don't overlook Richard; the guy is a musical genius and it was his arrangements that so perfectly accentuated her voice. What a talented brother and sister!
Karen did have an amazing voice. She was also quite a talented drummer, believe or not. Check out more of their songs. I myself could listen to Karen all day. She has such a smooth, soothing, singing style. Loved your reaction. Keep those oldies alive brother. You are doing your generation a favor by exposing them to my generations' music.
Karen was one of the greatest female singers ever. I love her voice you can just hear her emotions as she sings.
So glad you're exploring music from generations before autotune where you actually had to have talent and be able to perform live without help in order to make it.
Well said!
A-MEN!!!!
You are so fun to watch Devin...appreciate ya!!! Carpenters are the real deal. PURE TALENT and hard work=CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss this woman's spirit and persona every single day of my life. God's gift to us in the form of an angel's voice.
Richard was a really great pianist and producer and he did all the most of the production of their music and played the piano.
Unfortunately, Karen suffered from anorexia and died from heart failure which is associated with the disease. She died way too young! She was a true talent. Her voice was definitely angelic. Her brother Richard is still alive and working with music.
There is a reason The Carpenter's were at the top in the 70s! Their music style and arrangements were superb 😊 I grew up with them, she died when I was a young adult. They are still my favorites to this day!!!
History's purest voice and tone. Not of this world but heaven sent
Rainy Days and Mondays, Solitaire, Sing, For All We Know, We've Only Just Begun.... too many to name!
Richard, wrote all the music. He was a musical Genius!!!!
When I was a 14 year old kid I was went to a concert in Pittsburgh and they were playing there. I'm in my early 60's and I'm still a HUGE fan.
The late, great Karen Carpenter was also a world class drummer!
makes me tear up every time.. one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.. it's live too
Saw her sing and drum in 1972 .One of the best singer /drummers ever
You are hearing the voice of an angel. In my humble very humble opinion the greatest female contralto voice ever. No runs. No autotune. Pitch perfect. Who now can sing like this???? I
No need high volume runs and straining to hit notes. Just listening to pure vocal perfection.
Her hair so pretty.
wow cant believe you never heard thiem, one of the best songs ever recorded, her voice was the BEST , no one could touch her!!!!!!!!!
Simply the best female singer I've ever heard period
Love Her Voice , ! , A natural Talent , !
"Goodbye To Love" is the soundtrack to my life.
That and "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". lol
For me, that's their best tract, including the guitar solo that perfectly contrasts while complementing Karen's vocals.
Enjoyed all of your Carpenter's reactions. Keep them coming.
I know it's your first time hearing the incredible Karen Carpenter's voice, and specifically this song, but I've always felt this way never about an actual relationship...only in her imagination, from a guy she loved to listen to on the radio. Either way, beautiful voice, from a woman who was an accomplished drummer, and unbelievably hadn't initially planned to sing their songs!
What a tragic loss to music and the world when she left us.
The word groupie was around back then, yes. There's a novel by that name from 1969 and a memoir from the seventies called "I'm With the Band" by a serious rock groupie named Pamela des Barres who got with dozens of the rock stars of the time.
She's up in heaven teaching the Angel's to sing
Karen is also one of the best drummers of all time. You should check out her drumming solo.
If you loved this from 1971 check out The Carpenters songs Goodbye to Love, We've only just begun,Rainey days and Mondays and the Beatles cover of Help! You won't be sorry!
The song was written Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett from an idea from Rita Coolidge and extra musical additions by Eric Clapton. The relationship closest to the song, that of Delaney and Bonnie didn't end well after five years of marriage due to drug addiction and physical violence (from both to each other). This Carpenters cover is probably the best version of the song, with Karen's haunting vocals and Richard's keyboards and brilliant arrangement.
Try Rainy Days and Mondays, or about any other song of theirs. Karen always considered herself a drummer first and singer second, she was an amazing percussionist and a super talent. She started out as the drummer for Richard's band before stepping into the lead singer role too.
Please do Carpenters Rainy Day Mondays, We Only Just Begun and For all we Know, and Hurting each other.
Karen Carpenter 🎤💫> The most beautiful 💕
female singing voice I’ve ever heard! Silky Velvety Silk! Her low register (contralto) the best in a female singer
Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
I have been listening to Karen Carpenter since I was 4 years old & I'm an now 56. My babysitter had a Carpenters LP & I would have her play Rainy Days & Mondays several times in a row! Knew all the lyrics! There is another song I use to sing with my cousin. "Yesterday once more " There is NO ONE like Karen Carpenter. No one. She is a skilled drummer as well. Her brother wrote most of the lyrics and piano. That's why when someone calls me a "Karen" it's a total compliment. Please react to the two songs above.
In fact the name of the song is "Groupie" by Leon Russel and Bonnie Bramlett. Originally sung by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends in 1969.
Thank you for featuring the Carpenters. Most gorgeous voice. Karen actually suffered from anorexia which led to her heart failure 😢
Voice of an angel
Gone too soon
Slaughter
"Fly To The Angels"
1990
I promise you won't be disappointed.
If you enjoyed Karen you will probably also like the 60's singer: Dusty Springfield. Listen to a studio track of her famous song called "The Look of Love" (for the best quality audio and the best stereo effect).
Karen just feels the lyrics and expresses them so truly you believe it.
21 years old. Plays also the drums in this song.
I was always under the impression that "she" never actually met the singer, that the guy sang love songs which she took to heart. She listened and believed lyrics that he'd come back. She loved him from his image and voice on the radio.
Thank you for making me smile. God Bless you and your family from UK
((Karen had anorexia))
They are amazing. My favorite is Rainy Days and Monday's. This is from the 70's.
I always imagined this song like this ... This girl, well person, because it was written by men but has been sung by both men and women, was just a fan of this group/artist, but she recognizes the song each time it comes on because of the guitar playing, which she really loves. Even though it's only on the radio, she imagines everything she is hearing as being directed at her, by a single person, and the singer is always promising "I will return", "I love you", etc. However, it was never really HER they were singing to ... it was just a song, probably written for another person altogether.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it !!!
Thank U Devin. You would enjoy reacting to their, "I Won't Last a Day Without You"
.. few have touched on this wonderful gem!
R.I.P. Karen...major loss, Amazing vocals...Adore her...Peace
Glórias à Deus!
A Maior cantora que já pisou aqui no planeta Terra...
As I recall, the original title of the song was "Groupie"... Also, song is from 1970 or 71.
I own all of their songs and my 2 favorites from their huge catalog is Let Me Be the One and A Song for You. Although somehow I've lost their first album from 1970. I'm bummed about that.
That is a bummer. I have the album and just recently got the CD as a birthday present. Not remastered. I have Carpenters Gold CD but there are so many good songs that are not on the Gold that I have been searching for the original CD to the albums. Ticket To Ride is a Harder to find CD. No one seems to part with them.
Check her out playing the drums. She was an excellent drummer.
Karen was one of a kind!!!! Brother thanks for preaching the gospel, we need more of it in this world
Great drummer and great voice!
She is awesome
Nice music for the slow dance at the high school dance! 😉 ☮️♥️😎
Fall of '71 ------------Richard arranged & produced.---------an all-time Classic 70's. -------------MJL< 76 y/o
Cant believe yr just hearing them...ya got 100+ to go.
Those were days when there was peace on the earth….in the environment. We can still have it within us, but it’s not on the earth.
Her voice is as smooth as butter, but it's sad that she didn't see herself for the talent she had. Some of their other hits include Solitaire, It's Going to Take Some Time, Top of the World, and A Song for You.
Nice job, you got it. The original title of the song was Groupie (Superstar). So you picked up on it. Richard with permission softened a line in the song. Sleep with you became be with you. Recommendations: Rainy Days and Monday particularly the main video that starts with a slide show. Goodbye to Love, and to tap you feet? while driving Top of the World.
Almost of her songs are about her
Ife. She played drums in high school and was very shy
Give Daryl Hall and John Oats a shot - Sara Smile! Great song!
Amazing
You should listen to "Bless the beast and the children" by them.
God bless Devin. Just subscribed.
Karen's voice was INCREDIBLE
The finest female pop singer in the last 50 years. No one has matched her.
Angel voice brother and sister sadly she passed away
The song was about a groupie who met up with and slept with a rock star. I saw Leon Russell in concert and when he sings it he sings "And I can hardly wait to sleep with you again" (instead of "to BE with you again "
Richard was almost always on the piano.. There are some videos where he is just singing.. I understand and he wrote their songs and did the arrangements
And song by her man...get goin with them all....Bless the Beasts and the Children...is one of the many beautiful ones. Ill be looking for it all man. Trust me u will be popular with Karen.
Karen had one of the best voices in the history of music. Her voice was instantly recognized by the public, within the first few notes of her songs. BUT, this song was closer to home than most knew, just in reverse. Even though she was one of the most recognized "Superstars" of her time. She had a sad and lonely life. She wound up starving herself to death (Anorexia) at 33 years old. It was one of the saddest days in my life. I, like the "fan" in this song, fell in love with Karen, even if it was only on the Radio. And just like in the song. I know she is not coming back.
You should hear the original version by Leon Russell who co-wrote this with Bonnie Bramlett. Leon's version will curl your toes! 💙💙👍👍
The Carpenters were the best there ever was Karen's voice was awesome and smooth and angelic I'll never stop listening to them and now God is listening to Karen
The differences is that there are re-releases if their music. And sometimes, Richard would do some remixing in the later releases as well
she started out playing the drums, first female drummer you have to check it out
Live real vocalist, NO auto-tune just real singing...
There are a couple of good documentaries on the Carpenters.
I recommend to watch one or all, and you will really walk away with an appreciation of the talent of this brother/sister duo 😎😎😎
God bless my brother!
Right back at you brother!!
Yes, the performance is 1971. I don’t know why the video said 1985, but that’s not correct.
the video collection titled YESTERDAY ONCE MORE was released in 1985 but features the hits from 1970-1981
Among the GREATEST female vocalists...from the GREATEST decade of music...1970s...Karen IMUA!!
