I think Karen's voice is the most beautiful female voice God ever created. The Carpenter's music had such an impact on my life. I am so grateful for their work. I am so sorry Karen was not able to find peace on earth.
More people than one might think have "good singing voices". What made Karen Carpenter such an irreplaceable jewel was that crystal-clear, bell-like purity of tone, that made you feel you were getting the distilled essence of each note and musical phrase she sang. That can't be taught. (As the track coach in "Chariots of Fire" so wisely said: "You can't put in what God's left out.") Like Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand, Karen was a once-in-a-generation treasure. Rest in.peace.
KAREN........SENSATIONAL !!! I don't think she fully realized how great she really was. Never be another Karen Carpenter !!!! That is no cliche !!! World is so much sadder without her anymore.
I am an amateur drummer and was born in December 1966. I grew up in the 1970s hearing The Carpenters all the time and as talented as I already knew they were, I only recently learned what a fantastic percussionist Karen was in addition to having a beautiful, unforgettable voice. My goodness, what an amazing talent and what a tragic loss for her family, friends and all of us who love the music. God bless you Karen.
Richard, and their mother, were the cause of Karen's Anorexia. His jealous controlling of her, and his mother's lack of love towards her. I hope he's come to terms with that, honestly, in his heart. She lived a tortured life and died oh, so young. RIP Karen. You were beautiful, inside and out. Such an amazing talent...
In the early 1990s, I was travelling through France with my family. My daughter was sitting next to me in the car, wife and son in the back. My daughter and I were chatting about a boy band that she liked. She asked if I liked any singers and I told her the story of Karen Carpenter and how much I loved her voice and her music. Soon, it was time to stop for a break and we pulled off the A26 into a service station where I detected a frostiness from the then Mrs BurfordBoy57. “Everything all right, love?” I innocently asked? “No!” She replied. “I’ve just spent the last half hour listening to my husband telling our daughter how he fancied another woman!” 😂
😂😂 So true. He could play the piano, after endless practice. Karen....hers was a God given, natural talent. He wouldn't have been anywhere, without Karen's amazing voice
"It's Going to Take Some Time" is a song written by Carole King and Toni Stern for her 1971 album, Music. It was redone by the Carpenters in 1972 for their fourth album, A Song for You. According to Richard Carpenter, he had to choose which songs he wanted to remake, and there was a big pile of 7" singles he had to listen to. When he encountered "It's Going to Take Some Time", he knew it would be a hit, and recorded it. It peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Today i still sing along to just about every Carpenters song l hear. Richard and Karen were the quintessential definition of class, humility and TALENT. Most of today's artists dont even come close in any category when compared to the Carpenters. l'm so very glad to have been around when they were Superstars, but then, they will ALWAYS be Superstars to me. Btw, l'm a 57 y/o African-American who grew up in Fayetteville, NC across the lake from 1490 WFLB-AM Radio.
@@rondeneef - Richard Carpenter was the real musical genius behind this group. He found the right sound that you fondly did not recognize. Karen knew she would have made more money at the studio level. She enjoyed doing live concerts. And she sang every song on stage. The microphone loved her, even though she sang at a whisper. Richard found the right pitch to accommodate her voice. You can tank Richard for this. Two things that are very uncommon today which also made them the biggest Superstars of the 1970's. She sang every song and she loved the live audiences. She found her happy zone in front of live audiences. Her sudden death of anorexia also brought forth a silent killer among girls. She save a lot of lives because of a subject that was too taboo to talk about at the time, the Barbi Syndrome, a girl having a perfect socially acceptable body according to the fashion world. It was a lot more common then people thought at the time. A perfect body, and it was a killer.
One of their greatest songs. I am so blown away every time I hear that flute solo in the middle, with the "oohs" and "ahs" in the background. It just transports me to another level of existence.
This song always transports me back to Spring 1972. Beautiful blue skies, warning 🌞sun, not overly hot or humid. Everything picture -perfect, as her unforgettable singing will always be.
indeed.. somehow karens voice and the bass and brass make a unique vibe there..seriuosly deep.it happens in a lot of their songs..brillant engineers they had aswell
Yeah this song takes me back to hearing it for the 1st time from Karen and after picking my jaw up off of the floor I decided in my opinion she sang it the best which is saying something since I never thought anyone could touch the GREAT Carole King.
Carpenters are dismissed as "soft pop", but there was so much talent there that got discounted! Richard's arrangements and composing, Karen's angelic voice, and the combination of the two heavenly!
Karen Carpenter flew in the highest orbit amongst the best female singers of the 20th Century! She was tremendously gifted with that beautiful voice and perfect diction. All too many of today's "singers" are all about screaming - which isn't singing at all. Karen's studio recordings have never gone away - and we are all very fortunate as a result. Bless her heart for always!
As it seems MORE love her now than ever, she was revered as one of the greatest singers since their debut album went viral in 1970. Between Summer 1970 & Fall 1971, we had heard, "Close To You, Only Just Begun, Rainy Days & Mondays; followed by Superstar" on the radio. Her voice became permanently etched in the hearts & souls of millions back then 😇😇😇.
Karen and of course Ella Fitzgerald - yes, their diction sets them apart. ❤ I eventually give up on songs I "might" like if I could understand the lyrics.
Man, she sounds so good on this tune! The words just fall off her lips like leaves on a tree.So unforced and beautiful to the ears. She was something else!
It's gonna take some time this time To get myself in shape I really fell out of line this time I really missed the gate The birds on the telephone like, (next time) Are cryin' out to me, (next time) And I won't be so blind next time And I'll find some harmony But it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands But, like the young trees in the winter time I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent How could we make amends? So, it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands I'll learn how to bend It's going to take some time this time No matter what I've planned And, like the young trees in the winter time I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent How could we make amends? So, it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time
The Carpenters noticed this song when they were playing a Carole King album in their new home. Richard wanted to keep the record simple and spare, which was exactly right. The followup was the majestic "Goodbye to Love," the most rockish recording the Carpenters had made to that point.
So many beautiful songs sung by this special lady... I can't pick my favorite one by the Carpenters, but this is ONE of my favorites lol lol but I find myself saying that with each song I hear her sing lol.
I wish I could pick my favorite Carpenters song but all of them are special in their own way. Merry Christmas Darling is my most favorite Christmas song for instance but that song is my favorite in its venue of music. Did that make any since lol.
Tnx for posting. When one's peers think highly of someone, they're truly special. Paul McCartney John Lennon Frank Sinatra Dionne Warwick are icons who lauded Karen's voice as one of a kind
Do you folks hear KC harmonizing with herself??!! Well, when you think about who else is going to harmonize with the purest female voice in musical history. Perfectly pure voice! Unmatched in her register (low soprano) or any other! Ever!
Still coming back to watch this great version of a great song!!Love Karen's voice on this song.Thank You Karen! Love You! We Miss You Alot!Thanks again for posting this!
I love this song. I forgot about this song, I was only in sixth or seventh grade at the time. I wanted to listen to the Carpenter's songs, it's really been a long time, and I remember this song, one of my favorites!!!
A flute that feeds into an amp, similar to electric guitar. You can up the volume, add harmonics or customize the tone. Bob Messenger was a brilliant musician! They started using it in 1971.
haha..this song just hit me and out of nowhere i was humming it. so good to go back to my youth with this song, just makes me happy! thanks Karen Carpenter! love this..♥️♥️😁😁
The Carpenters had so many brilliant songs,that some of them went under the radar a little,like this one or "Hurting Each Other " or "I need to be in love"-so many to choose from,a lasting legacy.
If this world was filled with more people like Karen Carpenter, it would be much better place to live! She seemed like such a beautiful person to know!
Yes and that is why not only this song but all of them had a warmth to them as Karen told the story that touched our hearts.Thank You for caring Karen! Wow do I miss her! Love You Karen!
Being 56; I guess time has passed and I've forgotten about the tragedy of her loss and road that led to it. I only hope we've found a cure to her disease.
One day when I was a child, I awoke from a nap in the sound of music. The cassette tape played was the best album of Carpenters my parents had. When I listen to Carpenters, I remember Karen's voice on that day. I still have that cassette tape in my possession.
For some reason this is my favorite of all The Carpenters songs, I listened to it often back during the early 1970s when I was a kid. Brings me back with good memories every time I hear it, along with rest with her beautiful voice.
I'm in, if there was only one thing I could do with time travel, this would be it. No need to weigh up what else to do. I met her a year before she died in Harrods, London. I am glad I said 'thank you ' but still wish I could have that day again and find the right words to make a difference.
Karen Carpenter ❤️🌹🌹 The voice of an angel, gone far too soon at the young age of 32. 😢 She’s now in heaven, forever young, forever happy, forever in peace with God. 🌺🌸🙏
@cyndaification An angelic voice without question. Her voice is timeless. What a beautiful spirit she was. I love her yet I never knew her. I bought the Carpenters "Best of The Carpenters" CD and have it on my ipod because listening to her voice literally soothes me like no other singer in this entire world can. Her voice is actually many things: It's soothing, gentle, smooth, sentual and melodic. She was absolutely wonderful. I miss her so much.
For some reason, I remember hearing this song a lot in my preschool years, back in the 70s. Maybe the preschool van driver played it a lot , or I heard it in the supermarket, or at the doctor’s office...But I heard it so much that I can remember being a little girl again
I'll always remember the Carpenters - not for the concert I attended, but for who was there "with me". I attended the concert with my second wife. The woman who - a few years later - would be my third wife, was sitting 2 rows in front of us, with her then "boyfriend". There were just empty seats between them and us, so I got a good look at her. I didn't know either of them, at that time. Some years later, we "compared notes" so to speak, about the concert, and I realized what happened. RIP, Karen.
Ummm, I may have failed to mention exactly how in love with her I was...she sang with the voice of the Godess on Earth, how I wish we could have saved her, we need her voice...Rest Karen, you'll always be remembered...I'm so sorry...
I'm in love with the Carpenters music , it keeps me from snapping at work. The one thing I can't get out of my mind is that Karen's gone and we'll never have her back. If only someone could have told her how beautiful she really was. She didn't have to change a thing. I'll miss her always, RIP Karen
There is no one that brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear there voice but then there is no one like Karen. I cry for her everytime I hear this angel sing.
I think Karen's voice is the most beautiful female voice God ever created. The Carpenter's music had such an impact on my life. I am so grateful for their work. I am so sorry Karen was not able to find peace on earth.
I wonder how Richard would feel reading this comment.
Well said, Jay!
Even her speaking voice was beautiful
The most beautiful voice singing or not that GOD ever created. The one and only Miss Karen Ann Carpenter.
That's a fact!👍✌️
@christophersandmann I hope he would find comfort.

KAREN........SENSATIONAL !!!
I don't think she fully realized how great she really was.
Never be another Karen Carpenter !!!!
That is no cliche !!!
World is so much sadder without her anymore.
I had no idea Carole King had written this. What an amazing songwriter. And what an inspired interpretation this is.
You are correct. And when Carole King heard this cover by the Carpenters. She said that it made her version sound like a demo.
I am an amateur drummer and was born in December 1966. I grew up in the 1970s hearing The Carpenters all the time and as talented as I already knew they were, I only recently learned what a fantastic percussionist Karen was in addition to having a beautiful, unforgettable voice.

Well said and I
share the loss. What a talent we lost and we can only imagine what she might have achieved to date!
This song came out of nowhere in my head so I came here to hear it once again. Such a classic!
Me too
@@MrJacobrabbit and me. Much love harmony lovers ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏👍🌏🇦🇺🐬
Me, too. 😂😂
Karen Carpenter: Best female singer...EVER!
BEST SINGER EVER, period.
@@johngraham5543Fact!👍✌️
Her Voice was 2 good for this world. God Bless Richard.

She lived a tortured life and died oh, so young. RIP Karen. You were beautiful, inside and out. Such an amazing talent...
If there is such as perfection in this life, Karen's voice is it.
Agreed David. Timeless perfection?
We will not see her equal again! So sad she left this world so young
She was SPECIAL!
What an amazing voice....I have never heard any other singer compare. Smooth as silk, a joy to listen to!! Miss you Karen. ❤️

These two were INSANELY talented. Big love to them.
Karen was such a star that her light still shines to her fans as strong as ever! Thank You Karen Anne Carpenter!!!
Very well said!
& here I was thinking 🤔 how Karen's Talent was much bigger & more refined than any "Superstar" she'd ever sung about?
She was such a sweetheart, she always let her brother tag along .....
😂😂 So true. He could play the piano, after endless practice. Karen....hers was a God given, natural talent. He wouldn't have been anywhere, without Karen's amazing voice

That's because it was actually released in c1974, sounding like their c1972 Style, which it was.
@@bruschmidt9943 Wrong. It was released in 72.

Pure magic with Richards's carefully crafted arrangements and Karen's velvet rich voice! Undoubtedly timeless!
I love this song. It has that 70's stereo feel to it.
It does! It reminds me of preschool
This song was released on the 13th April 1972.
Yes. It's so 70s. So many memories
I adore this song... it's so beautiful... and it's so Karen.

That's why they invented Autotune, to make recording stars out of untalented hacks.
Karen and of course Ella Fitzgerald - yes, their diction sets them apart. ❤ I eventually give up on songs I "might" like if I could understand the lyrics.
Man, she sounds so good on this tune! The words just fall off her lips like leaves on a tree.So unforced and beautiful to the ears. She was something else!
I hope Karen did have many happy moments during her life, she was special...and I never even knew her.
Completely agree! She sounded effortlessly perfect. I love this song, written by Carole King, and elevated by Karen's perfect voice.
Roger I agree, however one could describe Karen's voice like that in nearly every song she sang. Nothing but perfection.
Roger Heisler Jr. ditto👍🏾
Well put!
Unbelievable ! Magical! No voice in the history of the world past , present and future will even come close to Karen..... So sad .
Same with Elvis
Well said , Joe. The best voice the Lord ever created for singing. Perfection.
A major loss to those who loved her. A natural singer, like a summer breeze that makes you feel fine.
Absolutely. The superlatives in describing Karen's voice never end.
Same year Seals & Crofts, "Summer Breeze (makes me feel fine) was released 😎
This voice melts me every time I hear it--just too beautiful for a mere mortal. RIP Karen, who sings with angels now.
Richard Carpenter deserves much credit too for his great innovative musical arrangements. They really complemented Karen's great voice!
Hearing Karen still draws tears from my eyes. I was totally "in love" with her as a boy.
It's gonna take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone like, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time
And I'll find some harmony
But it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
But, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
I'll learn how to bend
It's going to take some time this time
No matter what I've planned
And, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
Her voice was the best! No effort to sing like that! Miss you!!!
The Carpenters noticed this song when they were playing a Carole King album in their new home. Richard wanted to keep the record simple and spare, which was exactly right. The followup was the majestic "Goodbye to Love," the most rockish recording the Carpenters had made to that point.

There are not words to explain their beauty and their artistic brillance
Still coming back to watch this great version of a great song!!Love Karen's voice on this song.Thank You Karen! Love You! We Miss You Alot!Thanks again for posting this!
Not only was she amazingly talented,but she was also very beautiful in such a wholesome way.
I can identify with with this classic. I always refer to it after a tough spell in life. Awesome song
Love, love love you Karen!!! In loving memory always! Sure miss you angel voice! xoxo
I love this song. I forgot about this song, I was only in sixth or seventh grade at the time. I wanted to listen to the Carpenter's songs, it's really been a long time, and I remember this song, one of my favorites!!!
She sings beautifully with such ease that makes the listener feels relaxed.
The definite version of this song. It´s going to take some time to forget her perfect voice, if ever. The flute is amaizing.
That's their Electric Flute!
Electric Flute? What's that?
A flute that feeds into an amp, similar to electric guitar. You can up the volume, add harmonics or customize the tone. Bob Messenger was a brilliant musician! They started using it in 1971.
haha..this song just hit me and out of nowhere i was humming it. so good to go back to my youth with this song, just makes me happy! thanks Karen Carpenter! love this..♥️♥️😁😁
The Carpenters had so many brilliant songs,that some of them went under the radar a little,like this one or "Hurting Each Other
" or "I need to be in love"-so many to choose from,a lasting legacy.
What a great record! One of my favorites.
If this world was filled with more people like Karen Carpenter, it would be much better place to live! She seemed like such a beautiful person to know!
Totally agree!
such a warm voice. touches the heart
Yes and that is why not only this song but all of them had a warmth to them as Karen told the story that touched our hearts.Thank You for caring Karen! Wow do I miss her! Love You Karen!
A beautiful song and KAREN. She makes it ever so more beautiful. A fine rendition and so deliciously sweet to listen to.
Carpenters: Forever in my life, forever in my heart... Applause from Brazil!
Inri Cristo will resurrect her on the Last Day
The vocals, the music, everything about this song is wonderful and a pleasure to listen to.
The legend,the singer,the lonely soul....Ms.Carpenter was a pro,,lets live in the moment.....peace n love to all.
Being 56; I guess time has passed and I've forgotten about the tragedy of her loss and road that led to it. I only hope we've found a cure to her disease.
Soft rock icons forever.
I'd forgotten how much I love that song
One day when I was a child, I awoke from a nap in the sound of music. The cassette tape played was the best album of Carpenters my parents had. When I listen to Carpenters, I remember Karen's voice on that day. I still have that cassette tape in my possession.
congratulations! to you..
I MISS THE CARPENTERS EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE... THEY WERE THE BEST FOR ME...
One of the best gone way to soon ! RIP Karen we miss you

I met her a year before she died in Harrods, London. I am glad I said 'thank you ' but still wish I could have that day again and find the right words to make a difference.
great tune great voice great arrangements
Listening in 2023 🎶 Very relaxing 🎶
Absolutely fabulous and I love that ending.
Always loved this song and Karen's voice on this song.Thanks for posting!

Karen Carpenter what a voice we miss!
OMG. Lead Sister. Thank You,
Her voice was like listening to an angel singing ❤
Ummm, I may have failed to mention exactly how in love with her I was...she sang with the voice of the Godess on Earth, how I wish we could have saved her, we need her voice...Rest Karen, you'll always be remembered...I'm so sorry...
what a clasic..always makes feel better when im down and halfway out..xoxo to you ms carpenter
cool..best tune,vocal n arrangements..flute too
I'm in love with the Carpenters music , it keeps me from snapping at work. The one thing I can't get out of my mind is that Karen's gone and we'll never have her back. If only someone could have told her how beautiful she really was. She didn't have to change a thing. I'll miss her always, RIP Karen
This song gives me shivers, like most songs of them.
There is no one that brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear there voice but then there is no one like Karen. I cry for her everytime I hear this angel sing.
Super slides and an all-time classic track, many thanks! :)
