    Saw him this last weekend. Blown away. My daughter took me. In the audience there were many such parent/kid pairs. It was incredible. Markus has such much soul. I loved listening to him interpret songs. There were influences of jazz, George Benson, BB King, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker and many more "old school" folks. Versatility, fine lyrics and beautiful tunes, great generosity, technical prowess and pure humble love poured out from him. Thanks Marcus and Band. I am a fan.

    @kenmurphy6792 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    My newest .. favorite version of this great tune written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett ..
    The song we know today as “Superstar” was originally called “Groupie (Superstar)” when it first appeared on that Delaney and Bonnie B-side.
    As you might expect, the song was about a women who fell for a superstar passing through the town where she lived. They spent just one night together, which evidently meant a lot more to her than it did to him because she never saw him again.
    Now her only connection with the man she loved is when she hears one of his songs on the radio.
    Karen Carpenter’s voice perfectly conveys the sense of longing for the guy she only got to hold in her arms for one special night. Somehow she injects vastly more emotion into “Superstar”…
    Long ago, and oh, so far away
    I fell in love with you before the second show
    Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
    But you’re not really here, it’s just the radio
    Alfred Lord Tennyson said “Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.”
    That’s not been my experience. And from the way she sung “Superstar”, I’m not sure that was Karen Carpenter’s experience either.
    I could just be wildly projecting of course, but for me, even though Karen Carpenter’s voice displays all its usual immense technical quality, “Superstar” always feels to me like it’s got something a bit extra too.
    There’s a vulnerability in the words Karen Carpenter sings which always says to me…these aren’t just words I’m singing to the best of my ability, this song hits home with me in a way few others do.
    Whether that’s the case or not, the rich orchestration on this most recent version of “Superstar”, courtesy of the Royal Philharmonic, somehow emphasises that vulnerability and makes an already-emotional song into something really quite moving.
    Loneliness is such a sad affair
    And I can hardly wait to be with you again
    What to say to make you come again?
    Come back to me again and play your sad guitar
    I know we’re talking about one of the most exceptional singing voices of the 20th Century here, but Karen Carpenter really sells this verse. Just the way she sings the word “loneliness” makes you feel this is a path she understands all too well.
    Richard Carpenter does an immense job on the production for this updated version of “Superstar”. He makes it into something so much more than just the revival of some well-known tune by a long-departed artist.
    It remains firmly the song that showcased Karen Carpenter’s unique vocal talents back in 1971.
    At the same time, it’s an entirely different, more vulnerable, more emotional, more mellow, more melancholy, more richly-toned song that could easily have been recorded yesterday…not, as it is now, nearly 50 years ago.
    If you love the Carpenters as much as I do, you could do a lot worse than spend a few minutes in the company of this version of “Superstar”.
    It uses the original vocal track…which, let’s face it, would be impossible to improve on in any event…but updates the musical accompaniment with the help of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
    And it’s just wonderful…from the harp that kicks the track off, to that most mournful of instruments, the oboe, for the rest of the intro, every element of the Carpenters’ version of “Superstar” with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is sheer perfection from start to finish.
    Here’s Karen Carpenter on vocals with Richard Carpenter’s updated version of a Carpenters’ classic…Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett’s song, “Superstar”… th-cam.com/video/eGrLUavvkIA/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo

      @@BrysonKeenan yes, most of the Carpenters greatest hits were covers. This is a very nice one, delicately handled.
      Carpenters cast their net pretty broadly in search of inspiration, and often turned out definitive recordings. (e.g. "Close To You", "Calling Occupants" or any of their Paul Williams pieces like "We've Only Just Begun").
      Richard's own songs, like "Only Yesterday" and "Top of the World" are not too shabby either, and are rarely bettered by other artists.

    Marcus! You surprise the hell out of me every time! Oh man, best cover ever! How do you even come up with this? I can't quit listening which is good cause I don't know where to put you! I'm just gonna have to create a carve-out just for you. But for now, I'm sending you everywhere! I just loved it!

    You can learn all the technical talent in the world, but you either have heart and soul as a musician or you dont. This kid has got IT.

    The Carpenters were great, loved Karen's voice. Its great to see a contemporary artist appreciate their music and do such nice job. Excellent work.

    Great cover of this Leon Russell / Bonnie Bramlett song. He is such a talented musician. Had the pleasure of seeing him at EC's Crossroads Festival in Dallas in 2019.
