The purest, richest, smoothest most angelic voice of all time and she was a fabulous drummer too! Wow! Karen Carpenter what a legend.
Apart from her amazing voice she also had the respect of the very well known drummers of the day back then and also the top drummers of this age.
Absolutely the most stunning voice ever!!
I had the HUGEST crush on Karen Carpenter when I was a kid seeing her on all the various variety shows on television and by playing the drums she was just the coolest.
Me too falcon!!
Her voice has an instant affect! She makes my eyes water did it since 8 years old!
She's the greatest
Her voice is mesmerizing and she was a world Class drummer.
Karen was a once-in-a-lifetime talent. She had the voice of an angel and was phenomenal behind the kit. RIP Karen. We lost her way too soon. RIP Karen.
Their Christmas album really is a classic ♥️
love your reaction to the best singer of all time
You have no idea how nice a feeling it is for us old folks to see young people like yourself appreciate the music we grew up with. Thank you for your wonderful reaction.
You are such a Sweetheart. I Loved your Reaction, it put Tears in my Eyes. Blessings to you My Dear.
Karen Carpenter, the greatest female vocalist ever her voice was absolutely effortless no autotune no voiceover just an incredible, smooth voice
Loved your reaction! I truly enjoy younger generations being exposed to music from my youth, and liking it!
New subscriber. 😊
You just made me tear up. It makes me so happy to see the younger generation enjoying the music I grew up with. Karen and Richard are brother and sister. They are just WOW for me. Loved them since I was 10. I'm 60 years old now. 50 years of nothing but love for Karen Carpenter. Gone waaaaay too soon. R.I.P Karen.
Karen had the voice of an angel, and no one else even comes close to making you feel what Karen is singing in the song.
Karen Carpenter never gets old. Her singing is beyond another dimension. Absolutely gorgeous 🔥
So sweet that a young lady csm appreciate Karen's Angelic voice. I cried so hard when she died.
I recently discovered this song and it's now one of my all time favorites. It's so amazing and her voice is unreal. So cool on the drums too. Richard is her brother (the young blonde guy on the keys), he arranged the music!
Carpenters were a very talented duo and surrounded themselves with wonderful session musicians.
Imho Karen was the best female vocalist ever and drummer extraordinary. Richards arranging, composing, piano playing and vocal harmonies were often overlooked.
Plenty of splendid Carpenters music out there to explore. Please do more!
Richard is the pianist. Karen and Richard sang all the harmonies on their records in layered tracks. On a TV show Karen sang a duet with the great African American Jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. Karen was the girl next door to everyone with loads of talent. She was angel of music. She died too young at about 33, 40 years ago this past year. An entire geneartion that grew up with her still feels the loss. I wept when heard the news ont he radio. I'm 67, a fomer music teacher. You're doing a great job with reactions, and your unafraid to explore the old music and recognize it's worth...you got real class babe....I hope you get your own studio for this someday soon.
I love the Carpenters, Karen was a beautiful singer, no one else like her hands down, I was truly sad and upset at her passing! The Carpenters are the best of the best! RIP Karen, we love you....Thanks for playing reaction songs of the Carpenters!
You have just heard the best of the best ❤
I loved your reaction! They have a great deal of music for you to check out.
Singing and playing drums at the same was fun to watch. I think the Carpenters were brother and sister.
Yes they were.
Sadly, Karen Carpenter lost a battle with anorexia, but her death wasn’t in vain because she put anorexia on the map !! Such a sad, tragic loss what an incredible voice
Our Karen. Gifted, Shy, Fragile.
She takes simple, but pretty Paul Williams lyrics,
and rips your heart out with them, in the best possible way.
Karen was happiest behind a drum kit. Check out the 2 videos of her drum solos. She was rated a top ten jazz drummer. Shame they forced her out front, she never wanted that. RIP Karen, you will never be forgotten 😘
I dont think Ive ever smiled so much listening to this song. FANTASTIC reaction!!!
Did you notice the harmonies in the backgrouns? It was all Karen and her brother Richard. Richard arranged all their songs and overdubbed just him and Karen as the background, which is why the blend was so good. Just two suggestions: 1. "A Song For You" It has to be the audio version taken from their site, because too many reactors just latch on to the videos floating around out there, which totally cut out the most beautifully composed saxophone solo I've ever heard in a pop song. The videos cut out the solo because they were taken from a TV show, which allowed only a few minutes for the song, so, if you want to do this one, please do the audio-only version. 2. You've just heard Karen sing one of their great pop songs. If you want to hear a sultry and soulful Karen, give a listen to "Ordinary Fool." Nice reaction, by the way! :)
Young lady, she's a excellent drummer!
Love this reaction! Karen could sing a grocery list and make it sound good, but she considered herself a drummer first and she was one of the best drummers ever! You should check out "Superstar." She nailed it in ONE take!✌️❤️
❤❤❤
SO GLAD THAT YOU LOVE THIS SONG. I've been enjoying it for 49 years
Thank you thank you ❤❤❤
No other music gives me a stronger sense of nostalgia than that of the Carpenters. I still marvel at Karen's pure sounding voice.
You just watched the best female singer and singer/drummer in Karen Carpenter. There are good singers, great singers, legendary singers then there is Karen Carpenter. Carpenters sing fantastic Christmas music. They were the #1 selling american group of the 70's. That shows everyone how great they were. Are beautiful Karen died in 1983 of anorexia nervosa. R.I.P. Drummergirl.
Love your reaction. They have a lot of hits!
She was a VERY good drummer! Check out her drum solo video! Also, „Masquerade“ and „Solitaire“ to see the depth of her vocal skills.
A very nice wet reaction 🌧☔📆! Rainy Days And Mondays was released as the second single from The Carpenter's 1971 album: Carpenters. It was written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. It was produced by Jack Daugherty. The song reached #1 on the Easy Listening chart, #2 on the Hot 100 and #2 on the Cash Box 100. No info on the music video available. The song was recorded a few weeks before Karen’s 21st birthday. Richard wanted to keep the song’s arrangement sparse in order to showcase her vocal talent. They are brother and sister. Yes, she plays the drums. Karen Carpenter always considered herself a "drummer who sang". She has a very Heavenly singing voice 👼. She passed away in 1983 🙏.
Apparently, the song is the antithesis to the Rock band AC/DC. In a 2014 commercial for the Chevy Colorado pickup truck the song: "Rainy Days And Mondays", plays as a guy gets out of his humdrum sedan and heads for work. When he crosses paths with a more dynamic looking fellow, the song changes to the song: "Back In Black", by AC/DC as we see the hero enter his truck.
The song has been covered by many artists including 📻: The Intruders, Andy Williams, Olivia Newton-John, Alan Caddy, Freda Payne, The Smith Connection, Ann Burton, Sarah Vaughan and more.

The Carpenters Info 📰:
The Carpenters (officially known as Carpenters) were an vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen Carpenter born on March 2, 1950 in New Haven, Connecticut and Richard Carpenter born on October 15, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut. They produced a distinctive soft musical style, combining Karen Carpenter's contralto vocals with Richard Carpenter's harmonizing, arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career, The Carpenters released 14 studio albums, two Christmas albums, two live albums, 49 singles, numerous compilation albums and several television specials. Their music continues to attract critical acclaim and commercial success. They have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
The Carpenter siblings were born in New Haven, Connecticut, and moved to Downey, California, in 1963. Richard Carpenter took piano lessons as a child, progressing to California State University, Long Beach, while Karen Carpenter learned the drums. They first performed together as a duo in 1965 and formed the Jazz-oriented Richard Carpenter Trio followed by the middle-of-the-road group Spectrum.
Signing as The Carpenters to A&M Records in 1969, they achieved major success the following year with the hit singles: "(They Long To Be) Close To You" and "We've Only Just Begun". The duo's brand of melodic Pop produced a record-breaking run of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, and they became leading sellers in the Soft Rock, Easy Listening, and Adult Contemporary music genres. They had three number-one singles and five number-two singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and 15 number-one hits on the Adult Contemporary chart, in addition to 12 top-10 singles.
The duo toured continually during the 1970s, which put them under increased strain; Richard Carpenter took a year off in 1979 after he had become addicted to Quaalude, while Karen Carpenter suffered from anorexia nervosa. Their joint career ended in 1983 when Karen Carpenter passed away from heart failure brought on by complications of anorexia. Extensive news coverage surrounding these circumstances increased public awareness of eating disorders.
A critical re-evaluation of The Carpenters occurred during the 1990s and 2000s with the making of several documentaries including- Close To You: Remembering The Carpenters (US), The Sayonara (Japan) and Only Yesterday: The Carpenters Story (UK). Despite contentions that their sound was "too soft" to fall under the definition of Rock and Roll, major campaigns and petitions exist toward inducting The Carpenters into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Karen Carpenter Passing 🙏:
On February 4, 1983 Karen Carpenter was scheduled to sign papers to finalize her divorce. Shortly after waking up that morning, she collapsed on the floor of a walk-in closet at her parents' home in Downey, California. Paramedics found her unconscious and in cardiac arrest, with her heart beating once every 10 seconds (6 bpm). She was rushed by ambulance to Downey Community Hospital, where she was pronounced as deceased at 9:51 a.m. She was only 32 years old.
Karen Carpenter's funeral was held on February 8, 1983, at Downey United Methodist Church. Approximately 1,000 mourners attended, including her friends Dionne Warwick, Dorothy Hamill, Olivia Newton-John and Petula Clark. Her estranged husband Thomas Burris placed his wedding ring into her casket. Karen Carpenter was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress, California. In 2003, her body was moved, along with those of her parents, to a private mausoleum at the Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Memorial Park in Westlake Village, California.
An autopsy released on March 11, 1983, discounted drug overdose, attributing Karen Carpenter's death to "emetine cardiotoxicity due to or as a consequence of anorexia nervosa".
In 1987, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, a short film was produced.
In 1989, a CBS television movie based on her life was produced called: The Karen Carpenter Story.
Legacy 🛡:
Rolling Stone ranked the Carpenters No. 10 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.
Karen Carpenter has been called one of the greatest female vocalists of all time by Rolling Stone (#132 on their list of 200 Greatest Singers of All Time) and National Public Radio.
Paul McCartney has said she was "the best female voice in the world: melodic, tuneful and distinctive", while Herb Alpert said she was "the type of singer who would sit in your lap and sing in your ear".
Honors And Awards 🏅:
The Carpenters won four Grammy Awards: Best New Artist (1971), Best Contemporary Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus for "(They Long To Be) Close To You" (1971), Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "Carpenters" (1972).
The Carpenters also won an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group (1974).

Fun Fact 🕵♀: In 2021, longtime Carpenters historian Chris May and Associated Press entertainment journalist Mike Cidoni Lennox published the book: "Carpenters: The Musical Legacy", based on interviews with Richard Carpenter. It features rare photographs and newly revealed stories behind the making of the albums. Goldmine magazine said the book "provided a candid and detailed look at much of what went into the Carpenters sound as well as Richard's personal thoughts on the music business today".
The video is one of two promotional films recorded on April 6, 1971, while the duo was appearing in Las Vegas. The other was for "Superstar," with both films being recorded at the Desert Inn Hotel.
@@raybrown3667 Thanks for the info. Any idea who directed the music video?
@@IceManLikeGervin I don't know. If I can find the answer, I'll post it here.
I have Carpenters music on LPs, 8-Tracks, cassettes, CDs, desktop files, you name it. And I wouldn't give a single one of them up. When Karen's voice is on, I stop and can be taken back to the 70's. Thank God Richard is still with us and has reproduced so many of their classic songs and albums onto today's digital formats for all to enjoy far into the future.
My #1 Favorite by them is, "A Place to Hideaway", the c1971 TV performance from, " Make Your Own Kind of Music." When searching it, look for the thumbnail with Karen's face, not the album cover.
Great reaction video. PLEASE watch her drum solo. She’s also an incredible drummer
A good live performance to react to is the Burt Bacharach/Hal David medley from the Ed Sullivan show-1970. Karen is awesome on her beloved drums.
Thank you for your reaction. Please also react to their song, "Superstar" - thank you.
Listen to A Song for You and Solitare. My two favorites tho you really can't find a bad song by these GOATS Richard and Karen
Saher sing and drumming 1972 -one of the best singer /drummers ever .Broke the Glass Ceiling for Women that followed her .
Well with the holidays coming perhaps you can do some Carpenter Christmas songs. Their Christmas album is just the best ever. It is sad to think of Karen gone but we have to keep in mind that we were blessed with her perfect pitch and lovely charm for awhile. That will have to do I guess. I am sad for Richard. Thanks for the reaction. Ciao. ☺
Yup. Karen and her brother Richard made amazing music. I'd suggest giving "We've Only Just Begun" a try. ;-)
O.m.g. Karen Carpenter. A.k.a. "one take Karen ". She was known for going to the recording studio, and recording a song in 1 take!! Unheard of for just about anyone else in history! Please check out their song, Solitaire!!!!
Karen Carpenter considered herself a drummer first...a drummer who sings. It makes you wonder if she really understood what a beautiful voice she had. Check out Lead Sister on youtube, as well as Mr. Guder, to view her expert drumming skills. In 1975, Rolling Stone named her one of the top drummers. This world lost her in 1983, at the tender age of 32, to complications from Anorexia Nervosa. Richard Carpenter, her older brother, who co-wrote many of their hits, along with lyricist John Bettis, was the genius behind their harmonies, producing, & arranging... as well as their (classically trained) pianist. They were undeniably a dynamic duo, backed by some very fine singers/musicians (Doug Strawn, Bob Messenger, Tony Peluso, Cubbie O'Brian). As an aside...check out Tori Holub.
The Carpenters "SUPERSTAR" and "WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN" (original videos) ❤❤
I’ve done those
@@Sheraytv oh good. I'll have to try to find them ❤️
Great reaction Please do SING A SONG Live in Japan and FOR ALL WE KNOW by the Carpenters
Some reactions to consider 🤔: Steely Dan- Do It Again Live (Solrac Etnevic YT channel), Journey- Don't Stop Believen' or The Turtles- Happy Together Live (Stereo Classics YT channel).
We thought Karen would be with us always.
They probably don't play this kind of music where you live
Karen and Richard Carpenter are brother and sister. (Richard is on piano and background vocals).
Do yourself a HUGE favor and listen to 2 songs by them. "We've only just begun" and "Superstar". Luther Vandross did a cover of Superstar. You will LOVE them BOTH. Believe me! 😊🙌
thank you for your acknowledgment!! please check out patricia janevckova singing, 'think of me' live from 2021! sadly, patricia died from breast cancer on october 21st in 2023 aged 25!!!"
Please listen to the Carpenters “A Song for You”
TAKE NOTE Karen is lead singer and the drummer.
Karen died from anorexia at the age of 32. In reality, she was the first "famous" person whose appearance at the end and her actual death raised awareness of eating disorders in the public. BTW Her voice was classified as contralto. a pretty rare occurrence
check out 'ticket to ride'!
Many singing artists went into Witness Protection...Elvis is another and John Denver
S Nation Karen is still alive. She was put into Witness Protection...she knew all the bad stuff going on...
