Dude this is a tragedy that you only have 1700 views on each part....this thing was the BEST Carpenters documentary I've ever seen, you hit it out of the ballpark, it was touching, informative and your research was amazing. Congrats. I hope you get hired someday to do actual Hollywood big docs, you are ready.
Joe thank you so much! I’m terrible at promoting my work, hopefully they’ll find a larger audience one day.
I was thinking to same thing. I watched every minuet of all three parts and was wanting more. Excellent job. Very professional.
@@TheJustinRootShow I agree. You're very talented.
Absolutely right. As a fan for over 50 years I am so impressed and thrilled to watch these bios. You’ve done the C’s very proud.
Absolutely
This whole series was excellent. Loved Karen, and she is missed. 😢
Thanks
This trilogy is a masterpiece! Thank you for making it
Best and most informative documentary on the Carpenters. In my opinion Karen had the most amazing voice ever!! I can remember the first time I heard her voice I was mesmerised and completely taken in by her ability to reach the soul.
May she rest in peace and her legacy be remembered forever. 🙏
Ok, you have a new fan. I love the Carpenter's. I was 3 when I first heard them in the 70s, she was the first one I sang too on the radio. You nailed this!
thanks for watching, glad to heart you are a new fan!
This should be on Netflix! Great job.
Great show! Thanks for sharing all of this information with us. I, too, hope that Karen and Richard's musical legacy will never be forgotten!
My wife and I just watched this and it is the best Carpenters documentary we’ve ever seen! What a tribute and thanks for the time you spent making this ! Well done!
WOW! Dynamite biography!!! You are a VERY talented storyteller Justin. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Justin, this series, "Carpenters ", was beyond❤ excellent! I'm a 69 year old gay man, which doesn't make any difference, however, I've loved them since I was a teenager! Their sound was so new and so more than beautiful to me! I have ALL of their albums and know most of the lyrics too. Of course more to the earlier releases. I saw them in Santa Maria at the college there when they were hardly famous, but famous to me! I was devastated as so many were when Karen passed. I'm grateful that my home is so close to Thousand Oaks. Anyway, your series is the very best. Disclosure, I cried during episode 3. So very sad! Thank you for putting this iconic duo in such a beautiful light!!❤
Big thank you for your tremendous job to honor Karen's living legacy. I finished the book Little Girl Blue 2 weeks ago and I found myself haunted by her tragic fate. What a poor soul! However the fact that there are still fans of Carpenters all over the world touches me. Years ago when I was much younger, I wrote to Carpenters International Fan Club a few times and Evelyn Wallace handwrote back to me. She even sent me a copy of an old Carpenters song book and a copy of The First Decade of Carpenters book. I still cherish Evelyn's letters and these books until now. Thanks for sharing Justin. Love your devotion so dearly. 😊👍
I agree 100%! Great job!👏👏
I am so envious that you and Evelyn corresponded. That’s incredible! And thank you so so much for such a nice message, truly appreciate it.
These are hands down the best documentaries of The Carpenters ever. So compassionate and beautiful , much like their legacy! I started to cry to see her drumsticks in the moratorium... I do not cry easily. Also, I think people underate Richard's vocals, his harmonies. In Karen's young life, though she tragically died so young; she accomplished so much and touched so many!! I am greatly enlightened by this sister and brother. They will always be Superstars! I heard them in the 70s, my teen years, but did not realize the excellence muscally. Every song she sang was amazing and Richard's arrangements and harmonies were just as important.
Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it so much!
Justin, you did an amazing job on this tour. My best friend is a devoted Carpenter fan and after watching with him, you made me one too. Karen had the voice of an angel and hearing her sing brings tears to my eyes. Thanks so much for this wonderful tribute.
A sweet story of innocent beauty. Creating wonderful memories for us old folks. Sweet and bittersweet
This part three documentary on the Carpenters was emotionally tough on me. Both of my parents, my maternal grand parents, and two maternal uncles are interred very close to Karen and her parents mausoleum. My parents mausoleum are facing hers. It is a beautiful location, with fantastic landscaping including the water falls and streams. Very peaceful. I miss Karen. Such an angelic voice. Such a loss. Thank you......
Fantastic documentary!! You really did their legacy justice. Thank you!!
Justin, this is a wonderful look into the story behind the Carpenters and a fitting tribute to their impact on music. Thank you.
Very well done!! I was lucky enough to live through the Carpenter era. They were incredibly talented! Truly the age of the singer/song writer/ musician!! What most people forget about the AM radio only era is when you heard a hit record it was literally the entire nation listening!! Talk about a captive audience. It's hard to describe, but the almost instant status it gave recording artists was surreal. Glen Campbell & John Denver also carved out incredible niches for themselves during that same period, defying the rock/disco trends of the era.
I’m feeling a certain way about Agnis.. poor Karen, I think she just wanted someone to love her. Seeing her on Good Morning America is heartbreaking. ❤️🩹 What a great series!! 🙏 Thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching, it means a lot to me!
@@TheJustinRootShow can’t wait for more! I’ve watched them all and you definitely have something original going on here!!
Its now July 2023 and I've just watched all three parts. Thank you so much! I have always loved their music and hold a special place in my heart for Karen. I greatly enjoyed watching this, loved all the detail you included and I learnt a lot. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Thank you.
Great series. You have a fantastic way of telling a story. I was born in 84. I knew nothing about the carpenters other than the catchy lines from so many songs I'd heard throughout my childhood.
Thank you for your work, sir.
This is a fantastic series, Justin. You did elevate them, and I hope it's viewed by thousands. Karen and I are the same age. Her death was a shock and it still seems hard to believe that she isn't here. It just felt like a mistake somehow. I love her voice. It resonates in the middle of my chest, if that makes sense. The hippie counterculture brought a lot of darkness and negativity, but their music was a light. It was centered and hopeful.
Thanks for leaving this comment, means a lot to me!
Bless the Beasts and Children, and her Ave Maria off Christmas Portrait. I became a fan the day she died. The radio station played all their songs. I didn't realize I knew most of them. Thanks for the Tour. A+
I learned to sing with Karen Carpenter as an emerging performer. Have watched many Carpenter documentaries, but this is the most thorough and interesting of them all. Blessings to you for your efforts to inform a lifetime of fans.
Oh that's good where did you go to learn to sing with Karen .... Have you any proof to back this up
Super job putting this together. I’m certain it took a ton of work but I’m also sure it was also ‘a labor of love’ as well. Unsurprisingly my favorite of the 3 parts, was part one, where the beginnings were the focus and reliving their initial success was a fun trip down memory lane. Parts 2 and 3 were more sobering but filled with informative nuggets, every life long Carpenters enthusiast loves to know. The stroll at the end, past the stars on the sidewalk of Hollywood Blvd, including the captions of where those fellow stars and collaborators are today, was especially poignant, being that we’ve unfortunately lost most of those greats since this was produced. Thank god Herb is still with us 🎺! (Feb ‘24). Tomorrow’s a Monday with a chance of showers. 🌧
Excellent work Justin! 👍
I have just finished watching all 3 parts. This is the best Carpenters documentary I have seen. Thankyou for your beautiful touching tribute. I'm finding it hard to summarise what I'm feeling - awe, admiration, sorrow and a wish that Karen was still here.
Much love from Australia 💕
"Managed to glow through it all"... story of my life.
Great narration skills. Love your conversational delivery - just like sitting down with a friend poolside on mellow Sunday in LA. Please do more.
Extremely well done. Very professionally and tastefully put together. You have done the C’s well. Both were incredibly talented. They saw, recognized, and admired the greatness in each other. My only hope is that this younger generation will be able to resurrect the awesomeness of their timeless music capsules they have provided for the world to experience. ❤
WoW…these 3 episodes are the best documentaries of Karen carpenter I have ever watched….my heart is still breaking for her….her beautiful Angel voice touches one’s heart like nothing else….thanks for this amazing insight into Karen’s life and very sad death….🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was the best Carpenters documentary that I have ever seen ❤
Love all of their work! Thank you 😊
Fantastic docuseries you made on the Carpenters. I loved every minute and gave each a 👍🏼. Thank you for sharing!
My favorite Carpenter’s song is “Superstar”. As far as making them “cool”, Sonic Youth did that for me, but your tour confirmed that they were indeed cool! 😎👍🏼
Thank you, for this amazing documentary. I always loved their beautiful music.♥
Yesterday Once More was my first Carpenters song that I heard-it was the hook to my deep love for the Carpenters. This is the most respectful video I have seen about the duo’s history-I absolutely love it❤️
The best documentary ever done about the Carpenters! Thank you so much for the tremendous time and effort to put it all together and created something so special for many people who loves the Carpenters most especially, Karen.
I was totally impressed with this series. I'm not a Carpenter fan and knew very little about them prior to watching these. You have definitely elevated them in the pop culture part of my brain! I never even knew that she was a drummer, let alone a kick ass drummer! Well done!
Well done!!! Thank you for this wonderful tribute for Karen and Richard.
Thank YOU!!!!!!! Really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this. “We’ve Only Just Begun” was my junior high graduation theme, in 1977.
That was great! Thank you so much. Karen Anne was an angel sent straight from heaven 💞 🌹 💖 she will never be forgotten ♥️
You did a fantastic job covering Richard & Karen....I was privy to seeing it up close and personal due to my Uncle working for A&M RECORDS from 1969-1995.I play their CHRISTMAS album every year and it remains my favorite Christmas music to this date 12/25/2021.I'm very grateful Richard got married and had 5 kids.I know Karen would be proud of Richard for moving forward.
Thank you Rhonda! I’m so jealous you got to see it up close. It had to be so fun visiting A&M back then.
Beautiful job, Justin. I watched straight through all three and it was STELLAR. You did them proud. Thank you.
Some scenes gave me actual chills and tears. Very moving Justin of what might have been....
RIP KC you are missed you were a gem in the music world
Thank you Justin, I am a 63 year old Aussie now, but lived through the beginning of this story in the early 70s...Karen and Richard's music saved me, when I was a confused and troubled 12 year old in 1970..Karen's voice was my only solace and friend for years, until I found myself in my 20s...Then Karen's sudden passing when I was 24 years old sent me back into a long depression, until I found my life partner in 1985...In 1997, after being Ev Wallace's penpal for many years, my partner and I travelled from Australia partly to pay homage to my musical Soulmate Karen...Ev told me how to find Karen's 1st resting place, and with Richard's blessing I was able to place a single yellow rose onto Karen's crypt...My now late partner Colin actually videoed the moment, because it was so surreal, and I needed to prove to myself that it actually happened...I know it might seem tacky and disrespectful to some, and I was criticised by some after posting the clip onto TH-cam..But others were grateful that we travelled half way around the World, to show our respects....Your story here fills in many gaps that Ev was reluctant to share with a penpal...She was awesome too...Thank you again...Cheers Terry
Wow Terry thanks so much for sharing all this. I’m so glad everything seemed to work out for you and I love the importance Karen had in helping you. ❤️❤️
@@TheJustinRootShow th-cam.com/video/umH9Q9yo-jI/w-d-xo.html
You do d a fantastic job on this! I cried a few times. Thank you
I loved this tribute to Karen Carpenter, and yes, I watched all three episodes. It’s by far, the most detailed documentary of her life I’ve ever seen. I’m just eight years younger than Karen and was a huge fan when I was in high school and university. Her death was shocking and was an important wake-up-call to girls my age who were starving themselves in order to look like super models. The publicity around her death probably saved countless lives.
I often think about how much more she and Richard would have contributed to the music industry if she had lived a full life. Such a shame.
Thank you for creating this tribute.
I just finished a binge weekend of everything Carpenters on You Tube. I think you did a wonderful job of honoring the Carpenters. Out of the many documentaries I've watched, yours has been my favorite.
Beautifully done. I watch the entire series. I enjoyed your style of story telling. I learned so much about The Carpenters.
Thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️
Thanks Justin, I was riverted till the end. I love your story location tour! There's too many hits to choose a favourite song.
Phenomenal work! I'm a huge fan of the Carpenters, and you did them justice... Richard deserves a lot more recognition for the work he did on those arrangements, and Karen is truly one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.
I love the Carpenter music very much and respectful for their families and their friends.
Justin, just finished watching part 3. Had been reading Little Girl Blue this past week and it was so nice to see the locations the book talks about. You showed so much love to Richard and Karen Carpenter. I have been a fan of theirs ever since my childhood when I first heard Karen singing on the radio early 1970 to 1971, while getting ready for school and eating breakfast. I didn't know who she was at the time, but a little boy just knew he loved that young lady's voice and it made him feel loved and comforted. As I got older, I soon found out who she was and have been a fan, as many others have, all my life. It warms my heart to see the younger generation being such fans of Karen still till this day. Just watching TH-cam videos of the youth of today hearing her for the first time, brings tears to my eyes to know how much she is still loved and appreciated. Thank you so much for taking all the time to put this together and sharing with her fans. I have watched all 3 parts straight thru this am and it just made my day! Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed watching this series on the Carpenters. You did an outstanding job. Thank you!
Justin, I have to be honest in saying this was the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam. You should win some sort of award for it. It was detailed, yet personal. Truthful, yet compassionate. Insightful and interesting. It must have taken a long time to put it all together. And what you said at the end was very true. Hoping that someday people will remember Karen and Richard for their incredible talent. Their contribution to the music industry. Their lasting effect on fans of all ages. And not just for Karen's untimely and tragic death. I've always felt the same way about Marilyn Monroe. She's usually portrayed as fragile, troubled and tragic. And yet in reality she was so much different from how she's remembered by most. She was an overcomer. Uniquely talented. She was ahead of her time, and yet remains timeless. I look forward to your next video. And btw, one on Marilyn's life in Los Angeles would be extra special. Thanks again for the great work.
I accidentally watched this third part instead of the first. Instantly hooked even though I started in the wrong place. ‘Sing’ took me all the way back to my kindergarten classroom where we song this regularly. The part w/ the walk of fame stars was done really well. Thanks.
From the UK, beautifully done. Precious even, Thanks. I grew up with them, drifted away, came back, drifted away, being a musician too, but always came back to listen to them. Someone somewhere said that when Karen sings, it's like she is looking at you straight in the eyes. No one can come close to that voice. RIP Tony Peluso too.
The most thorough documentary. My sister saw the carpenters with their friends at the bowling alley on Florence Ave, maybe few yrs before she passed.
Well done, Justin. I had to binge watch the three parts because it was so well done. Thank you.
Thank you so much, thrilled you enjoyed.
I had to cancel an appointment just to watch all three episodes. Thanks for all the many hours of dedication.
I've watched a lot of TH-cam vids on the Carpenters, but this 3-part series is the best so far. Great job. Want to see Randy's doc from 2023 too. Hopefully it will become more accessible soon. Thanks Justin. And yes, they were the real deal.
Thank you Jason for an absolutely brilliant tour, and thank you especially for the last words, couldn't have said it better myself. In the end, it's all about the music, the dedication and the work they put in and those amazing songs. Karen is and always will be the absolute queen, a goddess and she will never be forgotten. The legacy she left is unparalelled. Yesterday once more is also my favourite song by them and the song that made me a lifelong fan when i heard it on the radio in 1990 when i was 15. Other than the well known songs, i adore tryin' to get the feeling again (sadly unreleased in 1975), you from the album a kind of hush is an absolute gem as well, the whole of horizon album is mesmerising. I find myself always coming back to Richard and Karen, every few years, like some sort of comfort and i envy the people who have yet to hear them for the first time. Surely,, one of the greatest American groups of all time.
Amazing. I really loved every bit of this series and how respectful and tender you were to theirs legacy. ❤
Thank you for this series. I saw them twice in Chicago in the early '70s and was, and still, am enchanted
This series was fantastic!!! THANK YOU.
@Justinroot you are extraordinarily talented. Please know that your numbers do NOT do you justice. Your research and fun bits are top notch. You are amazing!
Your the best Justin for sharing Karen Anne Carpenter's life story thank you 🎉❤
Thank you! I grew up listening to them and forgot how much I really love them. Such a unique sound. It was a pleasure to watch.
Thank You, for more insight and more truth about the Carpenters lives. You are better than the CBS 1989 tv movie about their lives. I just enjoy listening to the Carpenters. Again, thank you and God Bless - Jason.
So Truly Sad The World Is A Lesser Place Without You Karen ❤️💔
Best comment I have heard yet about her. Well said Greg
Mind blown. This was a brilliant series. Fell down the rabbit hole because I heard a random Carpenters song on the radio today and found this. I grew up with their music but haven't thought about them in such a long time. Thank you for this moving tribute. I won't forget them again.
I haven't thought of them either for decades. Have recently watched some docs & vids of their performances and came across these three. Couldn't stop watching till the end. Here they've come alive for me even more than when they were alive. I paid scant attention at the time when so many great artists were around. Now, 50+years later, I appreciate what they brought to our world.
Great job, Justin, Thank you, It is refreshing that a young man like yourself appreciates quality people and music like the Carpenters.
Wonderfully done documentary Justin….Thank you!
Very nicely done Justin! You had me hooked in all three videos. Our daughter is getting married in September and of course I requested We've Only Just Begun to be played at the wedding reception. My first album was Close To You and remember my father taking me to purchase it back in 1971. (I'm now 60) The Carpenters will forever be etched in our hearts as the most dynamic duo to have graced our lifetime. Thanks for the tour Justin! Great job!!
You are so gifted at this, I really enjoy your videos so much.
I really enjoyed this...thank you. I've been a drummer my whole life, and liked the Carpenters growing up. I agree with what you said at one point - Richard simply does net get enough credit: he's a top-level arranger, pianist, writer and singer. Karen was a great drummer, too! I never get tired of her singing; it's like eating ice cream whenever I hear her.
OMG! I stumbled upon this tour just last night. I watched the first two episodes last night and just finished watching the third episode! Bravo to you!! What a great watch! I've been a HUGE fan of The Carpenters since I was a little girl, and still a huge fan today at the young age of almost 56! As a child one Christmas, my father asked what I wanted Santa to bring me, I said a drum set. His reply was that girls don't play drums, and my response was that Karen Carpenter does! Needless to say, Santa brought me a toy drum set that year! ❤ I remember the day she passed, I was in 9th grade and my Mom broke the horrific news of her passing when she picked me up from school. It was truly heartbreaking 💔. I now live in Orange County but make sure to stop by the Newville home every time I am in Downey!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this great tour!!!
"All Because of You". From Karen Carpenter, the solo album...could be released today. Fresh, stunning and unique.
Omg. What I _want_ to say about this amazing trilogy is beyond the scope of a YT comment. I will say that after spending 3 hours with you (which went by like 15 min), I've concluded you are a genuinely lovely human.
A painstakingly crafted exceptional work, presented with utmost class and sensitivity ✨🏆 In all sincerity - Thank You 🙏
Dude -- you did an AMAZING job on this series and took us for the best in-depth look at the Carpenters that I've ever seen. They were both highly-talented musical geniuses and your series honored them well. Thank you.
Thanks Tom, this is wild high praise! And I thank you for it!
‘Sing’ melted me. ❤️🥹
Hiya J you should be so proud of yourself for this excellent story of Carpenters. The most beautiful way that you have captured darling Karen in her short troubled life. I myself suffered this awful illness in my teens and early 20s. I can only speak from experience but her mother Agnes was the root cause. Also the nasty press have blood on their hands too with their comments. I strongly believe her mothers love could have saved her along with more understanding of the illness. Darling Richard had his demons too to deal with. Luckily he caught his in time. I will always play Carpenters music , they both were amazing in their own rights. God bless Karen xxx I truly hope that Richard and Mary are enjoying their life. I wish them and family all the best wishes in the world. Well Done J you are a true credit to this website xxxx
I remember when she died. Everyone was so shocked! Rest in peace, Karen.
Wow just wow! What an awesome telling of the Carpenter’s story. You deserve a lot more views !
great three part video biopic on the Carpenters - well done. I've read about this amazing yet tragic music team. I grew up listening to early rock and roll, then the British invasion, and then the psychedelic rock...and all of a sudden the Carpenters came on scene with their calming elevator music and knocked it out of the ball park. Sad that Karen is gone but at least her death had the world focus on anorexia nervosa which up until her death, it was not a well known eating disorder. Till this day, I love listening to to Carpenters and being transported back to the 70's on a music memory time machine.
EXCELLENT ! ! ! ❤
Thank You!!!
I've always been a fan of the Carpenters and these three segments you've created are so eye opening and packed full of information that I had no idea. Thank you for doing this! Clearly you have a deep respect for the amazing talent of the Carpenters as do I ....and I thoroughly enjoyed your narration.
Hola! New subscriber in Ecuador. I was in my penultimate year of high school, driving around with my friends, when we heard the news on the radio. Even as kids, we knew the scale of the loss.
Always loved them. Thanks
Thanks for watching, they were indeed the best!
yes, agreed with the comment below! Best Carpenters Documentary ever seen! Great details, photos, etc! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just watched all 3 parts of this amazing life story of Karen and Richard Carpenter. I was totally hooked, you have done an amazing job of keeping this wonderful duo alive with their music. Thank you Justin. And my favourite song is Close To You and after my youngest son was born this song seemed to fit. Just perfect ❤️
I love all of there music.
The best!! Thanks for watching ;)
This was amazing! I was born in 1971 and i grew up with Carpenters as my soundtrack. These last 3 hours watching this have been a total pleasure - informative, nostalgic and entertaining. Your love of this band is so evident and I'm sure i i speak for all fans of Carpenters when i say thank you so much for making these videos x
Thank you so much, truly means a lot to me.
The song "I Can't Make Music" is my favorite. I've never heard anyone talk of it or seem to know it. Its so haunting, flawless, beautiful and sad. Enjoyed this documentary very much.
WOW! I enjoyed this so much! I am sitting here about to cry:( Going to get my albums out and listen knowing the story behind a lot of them. Thank you!
Well Michelle now I’m about to cry reading such a nice comment! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!
Watched all three parts from beginning to end and the only thing I can say is what a brilliant piece of journalism! Your instincts were so correct on not wanting to explore "those" three homes and continue by celebrating the Carpenters. I neither the "peek through the doors" at all offensive, nor the inclusion of Mickey Mouse; instead I found it rather rather sweet. The benches outside the door are extremely comforting and reassuring. Your final comments at the end of their legacy being elevated beyond the clouds are so honorable and such a tribute to who the Carpenters were / are and what they represent in the totality of the American music spectrum. Congratulations on creating such an informative telling of their story, with the sensitivity and intuitive sensibilities it so much deserves!
Well done. Their song called Happy is one of my favorites.
My taste in music is not in the easy listening style of the Carpenters; but Karen had a killer voice and Richard is a genius! (One could not be without the other because they were a glorious team together.)
'Superstar' and 'Goodbye to Love' are my favorites.
My height was 5'5", and my weight was 82 pounds when Karen's voice was silenced in early 1983.
It took me years to overcome the problems of anorexia.
Heaven forbid it ever comes back!
Thank-you, Richard, for your gifts of love to your sister and for warning so many of us about the dangers of starving ourselves beyond reason just toto lose weight.
Justin.... your research is very good!🤩
You have done such a good job on this loving tribute I hope Richard sees this and invites you to the warehouse.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is, by far, the greatest documentary on The Carpenters I've ever seen. I fell in love with the Carpenters when they first broke onto the scene ( I'm that old! ), and I remember the day of Karen's death like it was yesterday. I owned every one of their albums, up until I lost everything I own a few years ago. Those albums are part of what I regret losing the most. I think, next to Merry Christmas Darling, my favorite song of theirs is I Need To Be In Love. I'd love to see you do a documentary about Trent "Junior" Durkin, an almost forgotten young Hollywood actor, and one of the great "what might have been" stories.
This is award winning stuff 👏 Thanks so much for sharing it with us 😀 You deserve an Emmy !
Your post just showed up on my feed and I want to thank you for the wonderful Carpenter videos. I binged all three and thoroughly enjoyed them. I already subscribed to your channel. I grew up with the Carpenters and will always love their music! Thanks again!
