- A very young Richard and Karen with Carol Burnett, in her Show, singing four Paul Williams' tunes: Old Fashioned Love Song, We've Only Just Begun, I Keep On Loving You and Let Me Be The One"
One site you have to look at is:

I think it was aired in 1971...
i love Karen's smile. Not only does it show how much fun she's having, but it also indicates how much she enjoys Carol having fun too. Her whole persona is so comfortable, welcoming, and warm. If she had wanted to, she could have overpowered Carol with her voice. She doesn't because A) she's a nice person and B) they are the guests. Hence, Karen behaves as a guest should.
Yes totally agree! What class Karen had backing off as a guest.She was such a huge talent at such a young age.She really could do it all.She was really funny.When I was a kid I just loved their guest appearances and The Carpenters t.v. Specials.I knew Karen was going to make me laugh.I was so fascinated by her and still am.
🤣🤣 Have you ever heard Carol Burnett sing "Shy"? I think she can hold her own.
I appreciate your sentiment, but it really goes beyond that musically speaking. When ensemble singing, (two or more voices) maintaining proper vocal balance is paramount to serving the song. Only a lead voice would be louder, background softer. Here, all three are perfectly balanced within the medley, changing their dynamics as dictated by the songs and the parts they are singing. By the way, Carol has a very pretty and powerful voice as well. Best, Ed
This is what tv needs to be like again.
mother and son illicit sexual relation
Yeah, I fully get that from this clip..WTF? Those of us from 1971 had no concept of any of the sexually immoral crap to which you refer. Only shows how morally corrupt our thinking and actions have descended to in 2017.
Agree this is tv should be.

It is actually good to see Richard could legitimately sing in tune live. There's no point in comparing him to Karen, since she's in a category by herself anyway.
Yes, but don't take away from him the fact that he was (is) a brilliant musician in his own right.
He's a talented baritone to be fair I have never seen him singing out of tune...
are you kidding me? To sing the duet and harmony parts that he sang at a superstar level you need to nail the pitches with an extreme degree of precision. Richard and Karen are one of the very best duet teams in the business, with others being Lennon and McCartney, Simon and Garfunkle, The Righteous Brothers, Donny & Marie, the girls from ABBA. As incredible as are all those acts, legit, Richard and Karen top them all. Carpenters were a killer live act...they could nail those vocals live no sweat. That's what they do.
Nobody needed Richard's singing
@@TrailerReads what an unintelligent thing to say. Your opinion is so minuscule it’s hard to measure.
1:22 when Karen comes in with, "Only Just Begun", singing live & better than her Studio track, I turn into a pile of mush & chills 😌
@nickxero2740Before throwing in your two cents worth of armchair criticism, you might consider looking at yourselves in the mirror. It is easy to put others down or belittle them when you hide behind fake names. Comments like yours contributed to Karen's breakdown.
Since we like to critique other people's works, here is mine. Karen's voice can't be replicated and still stands out among her contemporaries, either in studios or on stages. So, before opening up your mouths and sticking your feet in them, you might rethink. 😎
@@richardea4223Are you replying to the wrong conversation? No one said anything negative.
Karen looks so great here, healthy and sounding great! I love that purple dress she has on, she looks like a princess! she always looked the best with the long hair and half pulled up style! GREAT TIMELESS STYLE
Is that the same dress from the "Superstar" video?
Just made my day; as she always does… she is happy and healthy
What a marvel Karen was.......so much talent....drums, voice, sense of humor...amazing human being !
I thought this was a historic moment in both music and entertainment as three legends performed together.
They are amazing still today
My God, I had no idea the Carpenters were on Carol Burnett. This has made my day. This was just beautiful.
They were everywhere on television in the 1970s.
They were on perry Como tonight show Ed sullivan.......yu would need to ask what shows were they not on during the 70s.......!!! Then they had their own shows like 2 or 3 times also!!
@@henry12397I don't know about that Ed Sullivan. By 1970 was he even on the air anymore? I have the Carpenters book here with me in bed right now, I'm going to look that up. Hold my Blackberry a second.
@henry12397 Well Ok, you're right. They were on the Ed Sullivan show twice in 1970: 10/18/70 and 11/13/70. I MUST SEE THOSE!!! Looking over the rest of their list, wow, you're right, they were on every TV show in existence and much more than I realized. You just gave me a new retirement hobby....collecting all those videos. Bootlegs....here I come!!!
@@henry12397In addition, Ed Sullivan was the guest judge for the first TV appearance listed in the recent book "Carpenters The Musical Legacy," which was 12/1/69 on "Your All-American College Show." They lip synced "Ticket to Ride."
When class mattered.
When talent mattered.
those were the years
Loved seeing Karen at her finest. She is sorely missed.
Karen and the Carpenters will live on in our hearts forever.
Never!!!!
1:21-1:41 What a voice. Still stunning after all these years.
her faultlessness & beauty still bring tears to my eyes
KAREN WAS AN ANGEL SENT TO EARTH TO GIVE HER MUSIC! Then it was time for her to return to heaven to sing for eternity!! They truly broke the mold when Karen was born!
They truly broke out hearts 😭 when they took her Home.
Karen looks so happy here. She's having so much fun. Richard too.
Who wouldn't have fun in the presence of Carol Burnett? I mean, really...
karen's voice still amazes me after decades of hearing it.
Old fashion Love Song (Paul Williams) was originally written for the Carpenters, but they declined. It went to Three Dog Night.
It's a shame as it really suits The Carpenters!
Not sure, but didn’t Richard begin writing most of their own songs as they found mainstream success? Maybe that’s one of the reasons they declined?
karen was extremely taented person carol loved to sing with her
Still the best and ALWAYS will be. Karen was so amazing. In every way.
THIS WAS AMAZING.
This was real music. The Carpenters were genius!
Wow!! That woman had an angel like voice. It came so effortless
smooth. full of silk and emotion, just a great timber. she could literally make you cry. they sounded great live here with Carol..
OMG, I love this clip KAREN WAS SO DAMN GOOD! I MISS HER SO MUCH, I LOVE THAT DRESS KAREN HAS ON, PURPLE IS ALSO MY FAVORITE COLOR TOO, SHE LOOKS LIKE A MEDEIVAL PRINCESS HERE! JUST TIMELESS AND FLAWLESS! LOVE YOU KAREN!
This type of beautiful, classy, elegant entertainment is nearly extinct. Even so-called "kids shows" are absolutely filled with blatant messages that glorify self destructive behaviors and influence them in the most demeaning manners...today's mainstream music and tv shows are absolutely repulsive; the most graphic violence, endless gore and tons of oversexed pseudo-artists, THAT'S what's an abundance of today. YUCK!!!!
Karen was so beautiful.
This was about the time the Carpenters' career really started to skyrocket ( 1971) They had a hit with Superstar
Karen looks great here. So full of energy. RIP
karen carpenter had the most beautiful voice
GREAT love this! Karen looks amazing here, stunning! purple was a great color on here!
There will not be performers like this again in our lifetimes.
So much to love about this...Karen Carpenter had a beautiful voice...the kind to make u cry
Carol seemed like a blast to work with.
I have always loved the Carpenters and I always will.
RIP Karen Carpenter
You Wil Never Ever See THIS Kind Of Music Any More, Unless A Very Special Artist COMES AND Doesn't WORRY ABOUT THE ILLUMINATED PEOPLE'S.
it was the era when musical voice is very important..when it was all about art..
Great to see Richard having a bit of the spotlight and singing lead in this medley. He looks so young and sounds great, as do the ladies!
This aired Sept 22nd, 1971
Thanks, I didn't know that.
I so love Karen Carpenter's purple dress 💜💜💜💜💜and she looks so beautiful! Purple is my favorite color,so I'm rather partial to that dress💜💜💜💜💜!! However, Karen Carpenter💐💐 had such a beautiful voice🎤💐💐 and Karen Carpenter was a kind person too💛💛💛💛💛!!! Carol Burnett is such a nice fun-loving person as well🤗🤗!!! Karen Carpenter's birthday was on March 2nd and she will never be forgotten 💛💛💛💛💛🤗🤗!!!
1:22 when Karen came in with, "'..'only Just Begun" I got tears & chills at the same time.
& sung like the Studio recording, with all her heart ❤ & Soul.
..effortlessly.
Yes, me too. Caught me by surprise on this number more focused on fun.
The sweetest voice ever! Never before, never after!
Damn right !!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
💫 KAREN 💫
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
For sure! Still get chill bumps!Best ever!
So Richard could sing.
If you want to call it that.
Lori Romano Just saw the comment you know you are so wrong. (lol)
Yes, I was wrong. Richard could sing in key. He is not to be compared with his sister vocally. She was an incredible singer. Richard an average singer. .
He could kill some harmonies tho. He was the master of writing and producing...a great musician.
He's alright but not as great as Karen ... hence why she's in the frontline instead of him
Ladies and gentlemen, The Fabulous Carpenters! Chill bumps crawling all over my body ever since Karen solos her first note and thereafter for the entire video and still now....and left in tears at the excellence of this. The Carpenters did not tend to do TV live but this really seems live. If it's not they did a convincing job. I'm a "Carpenters" fan, but I have to say, I'm really a Richard Carpenter fan more than I'm a Karen Carpenter fan. He is fantastic in this video, as is Carol as well. Of course we know Karen is one of the top best female pop vocalists in recorded history, "one of," as in "one of the top three" maybe.
This is gold.
Richard was looking so young and handsome here.
What a delightful medley. They blend so well. I miss Karen so much!
It’s brilliant to see Karen guiding Carol in the harmonies and mimicking the drum beats. She really was a drummer who sang. Her ear was exquisite!
karen has the perfect pitch. r.i.p
This is great! Thanks for posting it. Surprisingly, Karen repeatedly acts like she's directing it. Also, it evidently was NOT lip-synced, as Karen misses singing the word "rambles" at :49.
wow I think you're right about that flub at 0:49!!! Fab catch!!!
Old Fashioned Love Song, We've Only Just Begun, I Keep On Loving You and Let Me Be The One"-
Paul Williams. Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. Richard Carpenter and John Bettis. Carole King. You do the math.
Carol Burnett sings Paul Williams. Gotta love it.
What a time capsule treasure. Thanks for sharing it. It made my night!
I m a huge Carpenters fan and this is the first time I have heard this! Thanks so much
Today 3-2 23.Happy 73rd Birthday Karen!
We Love You and Miss You Terribly!
Thanks for posting this!
Great singing with a touch of comedy thrown in! Fantastic
I was a date at 16 and I feel in love with this man , then got married and had our son in early of 1978. Love this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕
What a gem. Is this the Carpenters’ only performance of “Old Fashioned Love Song”?
Carol and Karen - the Queens of comedy and music. Great harmony and rapport.
Yes, I believe this was their only performance of "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song." They did not make a studio recording of it, even though Paul Williams wrote it with them in mind to record it.
Love Carol Burnett!!!
Carol was hysterically funny and a marvelous Actress but most people fail to appreciate what a great singer she was.
Is.
Love hearing Richard sing! He’s AWESOME!!!!!!!
Richard sounds very good here!
WOW
How appropriate that both Karen and Carol were both wearing purple dresses. Purple was the colour of royalty in ancient times. Karen was the Queen of Pop and Carol the Queen of Comedy.
What a treat for Carol to get to sing with them. Carol Got to brush shoulders with all the super star talent of the day but I'm betting this memory is very special for her.
She was so comfortable in front of a camera at such a young age!!! Amazing!!
One of my fave Carpenters tv performances, brilliant medley of classic pop songs and Karen is so charming as usual!
THREE PEOPLE I LOVE
Richard was gorgeous.
What talent they had!
To have had extreme talent that Richard had to NOT ONLY WRITE SONGS BUT WRITE MUSIC TO GO WITH THEM!!!!!! INCREDIBLE.......THEN YOU HAVE THIS IMMENSE INCREDIBLE GOD GIFTED VOICE THAT KAREN HAD........THERE ARE NO WORDS TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE IMMENSE TALENT THESE 2 YOUNG PEOPLE HAD!!!!!! THERE WAS NO OTHER GROUP LIKE THEM......THE JACKSONS MAYBE OR LENNON SISTERS OR OSMONDS .......BUT THE CARPENTERS WERE THE NUMBER 1 GROUP DURING THE 70S OVER 100,000,000 RECORDS SOLD!!!!!
Love this clip .it goes to show u the crap that is being shoved down America throat in today's tv shows... Wish i could go back and relive the 70s.. Great time
Karen looks so beautiful in this clip, she looks like a Disney Princess! :) love the purple dress.
I'll never forgive Richard Carpenter for rejecting a studio recording of "Old Fashioned Love Song". As is already known, this song was MADE for them. It is a shame this is the only time we'll hear them sing it - and barely at that! Three Dog Night just doesn't have "it".
YangPanang123 ~ I'm sorry,But I completely disagree...Chuck Negron singing "Old Fashioned Love Song" with "Three Dog Night", is the definitive version...They have "IT" in truckloads!...
They recorded a much better song, and one even more perfect for them right around the same time. That song was "Rainy Day and Mondays", one of their best. Both songs were written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. If it came down to a choice between the two of them, I think Richard made the right one.
@@joecomer8275 I totally agree with you.
Such amazing talent between the three of them. I miss the 70’s
Very sweet and beautiful voice!
Nice to see Richard singing too
very talented wonderful voice
This is the Richard I love....^.^
Carol Burnett looked like very fine Lady in Her show heaving nice voice so She deserved singing with Carpenters !!
WOOOOOOOOOW SOOOOOO COOOOOOOOL THANX
Exquisite harmony and I'm truly honoured to have had the opportunity to visit here a while. Thanks for sharing the memories
The first song "An Old Fashioned Love Song" was written by Paul Williams (who wrote or co-wrote all the songs sung in this video) specifically with the Carpenters in mind. Richard rejected it, and the song became a hit for Three Dog Night instead. This is the only recorded instance of the Carpenters singing it.
Yes, Richard was/is a man of MANY talents: songwriter, pianist, conductor/arranger, and record producer. But this was a rare & worthy treat for us to be entertained by his vocal knacks which he's been blessed with as well. I'm glad his mic was set where it was. Also gotta admit, he never looked better than he did back then when they were in their prime of their careers - young, fresh, and perky.
I Truely Love The Carpenters!
Nothing better as a little kid than staying up late and seeing the Carol Brunett show.
Karen looks so beautiful in this clip, she looks like a medieval princess in her purple dress, its beautiful! purple is also my favorite color too. I also love her hairstyle too, so classic! :)
Karen Carpenter.... Here she is singer, the arranger and the person that just keeps this melody afloat......All those songs she could have sung.... So sad..
It's such a shame The Carpenters turned down recording the first song. It really suits them 🎶🎹🎶🤩
I wish that they would show on the Carol Burnett Show now
Everyone loved Karen's voice but Richard could sing well too. I wish he had done more over the years!
so do I but we're in the minority. Richard realized he's not a great lead singer and at first he realized that Karen was a great lead singer so he wisely took a back seat to her and allowed "the better man to win," but slowly he realized that Karen was one of the greatest pop vocalists ever and she was a real diamond that needed to be allowed to shine brightly.
wow that was awesome, Paul Williams medley, but Carpenters and Carol Burnett are a version of Three Dog Night from an alternate dimension trapped in the twilight zone. they should have got in space suits with david bowie haircuts hehe
I loved watching these shows as a litte kid in the 70s
What a great find!
Thanks for posting. This is awesome. Love the three of them.
Richard is soooooooooo cute in this!! I just love the Carpenters :) And Carol Burnett!!
I've seen every episode but I swear it's nowhere to be found ..I'll keep looking!
So AMAZING, I LOVE the Carpenters and of course Ms. Burnett! :)
Anyone else still watching in 2017?
Richard is so adorable with that hairstyle ☺🤗💞
Richard is a good singer.
@justinjameswest This was one of a few shows where TV didn't mishandle them, they were treated very well on the Carol Burnett show & even got their own directors chairs.
yes and probably because Carol really understood , respected and appreciated them. On other shows they were patronized and made to do silly things.
What beautiful people !
love you
This is pure gold- live, raw unproduced studio mike vocals- rare for this group.
Very nice!❤
