- Edited using the transmitted version and an outtake... This version has no talking at the beginning and an extended ending with no applause.
From the 1980 television special Music, Music, Music.
NO one man or woman makes singing look so effortless and natural as Karen Carpenter.
Sadly, THIS kind of talent, exhibited by two truly God-gifted individuals, is something that will never be again. Society and what's considered "entertainment" have both devolved to a point that we could never have imagined back when this first aired. Karen Carpenter is forever missed. Glad to see that handsome Mr. Davidson, now in his twighlight years, is still out there putting on great live shows.
John turns 81 this month. He still has a great voice and mind. I was watching an interview he did recently and he mentioned that he had dated Karen for a short time. I have seen his show he used to do in Branson and really enjoyed them. He’s so talented.
John Davidson was so lucky to have sang duets with so many legends. Some who have sadly passed away. (Mama Cass, Karen Carpenter)
Also... Florence Henderson and Lesley Ann Warren too. Henderson passed away, by the way.
John is still out there singing as well as ever. He even has his own small venue club in New Hampshire where Tom Bergeron joined him for a brief tv snipet.
@@billparthum206 I wondered what happened with John. Thanks for your comment. Actually one of the better singers.
@@jeffreygranger6913 They had a brief local tv spot a while back on NH television. The man is in his 80's, and looks and sounds 20 years younger. But he's sporting a long white ponytail, if you can believe it!
To the extent that John can keep up with legendary singers it shows what a good singer he is. Dean Martin is like that also, he can hold his own against any superstar singer.
John Davidson has such an incredibly beautiful voice and loving warm personality.
Karen Carpenter had the voice of an Angel
Great harmony from great voices. John was underrated and is still the best entertainer I ever saw on stage at O'Keefe Centre in Toronto.
There it is, the meaningless "underrated" comment.
Karen's voice was inspiring and sounded like an angel. Richard and her brought joy the lives of millions. The Carpenters changed my life for the better.
This is a treasure of a wonderful time in music and entertainment. What a treat to view these talented artists engaged in beautiful song and music.
"…and what's more I've lost my appetite…" Talk about a cryptic, prophetic line.
+torres songs I agree!
omg. lol
Richard wanted to change it to I've lost my eyesight but Ray Charles protested
It's interesting that you surmised that. She truly did put the "die" back in "diet."
MORON!😎
I love these videos I’d never before seen. I never truly appreciated John Davidson but he seems to be a wonderful, genuine human being. What really gets me is his genuine affection for his duet partners, both Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter. You can tell he has sincere affection for them as people and talents. He’s not fake or condescending at all.
You mean Cass Elliot
Two of the best ever. What a wonderful duet.
Clearly two professionals making the most of this Broadway gem. Enjoyable to watch and listen to.
John Davidson you sang danced and performed well with Karen Carpenters. Both talented and God gifted. It was perfect and enjoyable. I just respect you John.
This has just been posted and remembered.
Thanks and love from Karen Carpenters.
Greetings from Thane Mumbai India
I can still remember where I was when Karen Carpenter died. I was working part-time while in college... stocking shelves at K-Mart, when her passing was announced on a radio station playing overhead. It was quite shocking as I had all the Carpenter LP's and she was so young. Anyway, does go to show what impact she had on pop culture at the time.
So..... How old are you now? 50+ years old?
62.5
Coppington Farnham I just turned 16 this year, my grandma introduced me to the Carpenters' music, for 5 months now, the rest that went on seems to become history to me. I turned to a Carpenters lover!
Good to hear...I always thought Karen sounded like a cross between a male and female voice...so smooth and easy on the ears. Her brother was also a big contributor to their success, with help from superior songwriting. You will still enjoy at my age as this quality is timeless🎼...!
@@coppingtonfarnham7731 Yup, I think she sounds like a cross between the male and female voice because of her unique contralto range, making her a female bass. I always thought of Richard as the creative genius that started it all, he was the composer, producer, arranger, musician, pianist, singer, songwriter. Though sometimes, I think he gets overshadowed by his sister, I think they really compliment each other when it comes to music making. I’m grateful Richard is still alive and kicking to this day, fills a smile to my face, but I’m sad that Karen died in such an early age.
What an artist! She lived and made the world a better place and is an inspiration to girls to sing out!
Sure inspired me. 🥰
CARPENTERS plain & simple were GIFTED & ANOINTED & ORDAINED by God to impact a Nation & Society at a time of Dark Evil Turmoil dividing America > CARPENTERS Shot Up like a METEOR by God's Hand (15 Mega Hits & 20+M Sales in just 1st 4 yrs.) still a Record today 2021 & they needed to Recognize that Divine Gift & God's Agenda & Seek God's Presence to GUIDE them > Not HOLLYWOOD guiding them.
Great song and 2 great performers. Wow. RIP angel face, if only someone could have saved you.
God Bless Who Down Loaded This Video,All My Love Michael B🥰🥰🥰❤❤🤣🤣🤣
Karen I will always love you and always will you beautiful angel 😇❤️
Karen needed to get away from all the toxic people in her life. Hang out with loyal friends and reconnect with herself. She had so much going for her. She was a good soul and her songs will live on! 🌹💖
When you're rich, everyone is toxic and no one is your friend, like her husband. That's why it's lonely at the top.
She always seemed so happy, relaxed and downright enjoyed these tv specials, obviously in her element. I wonder if it was because these moments back then seemed so fleeting and never expected anyone to ever see them again. So “what if” anyone in her inner circle (you know what I mean) had any criticism or judgement. Someone else was in control fo these. They had fun doing it. And the irony is, .....now technology and streaming channels like this, provide a true time capsule and historical document......priceless!!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY SONG BY KAREN,AN JOHN I REMEMBER WHEN THIS FIRST AIRED, I STELL MISS HER VERY MUCH,THANKS AGAIN,MIKE B.
Wow!!! Love love love this!
John Davidson is performing at his own theater in Sandwich, New Hampshire this summer, three times a week. He has quest artists at his theater also.
ABSOLUTY WONDERFUL VIDEO AN SONG,5 STAR RATING,THANKS FOR POSTING, GOD BLESS, LOVE MIKE B.
The last that I heard John was living in New Hampshire and still singing occasionally.
Sweet, both of them.
How fortunate he is to have done this with the legendary Karen Carpenter
I Love You Karen, AND Miss You Very much, Thànk you For the Most Beautiful IN The World,God Bless You Alwayxs, Love Forever, Your FriendM

THE MOST BEATFUL SONG BY KAREN, GOD BLESS YOU HONEY, LOVE ALWAYS MICHAEL BERTSCH.
Maybe those two were mean't for each other. It is so sad and tragic the way her life ended. Tears come to my eyes every time I think about it.
so heavenly beautiful.....perfect performance couple
You're Just In Love can be found on the As Time Goes By album by the Carpenters. Obviously the TV shows were prerecorded and then lip synced. Love Karen's vocals here and John is also a good vocalist. Makes me wonder if good music will ever return!
Why couldn’t they have married and maybe she’d be happy and still here!
Perry Como sang this with the Fontaine Sisters but the sides were reversed, and this is better. Karen had appeared on the Perry Como Show and I was thinking I'd heard her sing it with him,. On my TH-cam treasure hunt I went looking for John for a particular song I recall his doing and this popped up. LOVE it and their voices blend beautifully. Thx And I like that banal banter was edited out.
She was just amazing on the Perry Como show. She did the bars of his songs better than he did hers. But I still would have liked to hear them do something serious together.
Love this song - I got to see Helen Reddy sing it in Call Me Madam in the 80’s 💖
Helen included it in her outstanding 1998 album Center Stage
John Davidson is great in this
Thanks for this n Karen is always fantastic.
Just lovely! Thanks
Two great voices.
I like her deep voice....
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just lovely! Thank you.
I wonder why this freaking video clip was not released on any official Carpenters DVD?
sweet performance
Absoulity Beautiful God Bless Always,Love Michael B.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅
I never clicked on a YTvideo SO FAST!!
What a tragedy that Cass and Karen never got to do sister duets because they both knew the same pain - a shallow world who judged them on their looks and they both suffered from it.
This segment has a strong Lawrence Welk feel to it.
Well at least they scrapped the skits in this special.
i don't have that good an ear - i would never have expected these two voices to sound so good together - and it's a good song for them - it's a surprise to see Karen in choreography - i think John's all around professionalism helped here - the musical arrangement seems to be direct steal from the Carpenter's rendition on their As Time Goes By album - with John substituting for Richard's part
On "As Time Goes By," Richard was actually substituting for John's part in the "Music, Music, Music" sound track. Richard and Karen did their own mixes of several of the songs done with/by Ella Fitzgerald and John Davidson on the TV special (because of copyright considerations), and those are what you hear on "As Time Goes By."
Looks like you do have a great ear after all with that As time Goes By insight.
Obviously lip synching, but a pair of pros. There's a clip on TH-cam where John is hosting for Johnny Carson and Karen and Richard are quests that really shows how personable each was. It would be interesting if John has any remembrances of Karen and their performing after all these years.
I think John Davidson would have been a good match for Karen Carpenter
Oh Karen, you’re voice is a one of a kind. Ann Murray sounds a lot like Karen’s.
Not even close. There's a reason she never covered ANY of Karen's songs. Even she knew she couldn't duplicate that talent!
@@Coupydog: Anne Murray also sang "I Just Fall in Love Again."
Same range but Anne had a grittier quality to her singing. They would have sounded wonderful together. I think whoever put these specials together squandered a lot of opportunities.
Wow I didn't know Davidson can sing!
He was one of the most popular entertainers throughout the 70's.
John Davidson was the most natural entertainer that I've ever seen perform, going way back to O'Keefe Centre in Toronto back in the 1970's. And the quality and range of his singing voice was comparable to Englebert Humperdinck's. John just never had a hit record or two, but still, so many TV shows and appearances lead to a very long and successful career. And, thank God, he's very secular and an atheist to boot!(lol!)
John Davidson really deserved to have a Hit Record - He was under contract to Columbia Records and that's impressive but they needed to be more aware of his vocal talents and find tunes that were more tailored for his voice. I feel he was always a tad underrated as a Performer.
@@JohnnyGNV Very underrated, but still a great performer nonetheless. He did many shows in Vegas and across the country in some of the best venues. He lacked the, per say, uniqueness, and his voice wasn't as distinguishable as an Elvis, Sinatra, Andy Williams Tom Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., or Engelbert But he did release 12 albums within a twelve year span, but nothing since 1976, as his style of music was generally considered passe by the 1970's. But, his energy and enthusiasm and boyish charm, and his intelligence got him through the rest of his career pretty well. Plus, he had that hair.(lol!) But hey, he got to be on Ed Sullivan.(Of course, so did guys twirling plates. And, a mouse.)(lol!) He is now 80, and lives in Sandwich, New Hampshire.
Karen looked about ready to topple over here.
+antij1 she was sick here thats for sure
Love and respect both of these artists, but when she sings the lyric “I’ve lost my appetite”; oy, the irony. Her voice was like no other. So curious what it was that drove her to anorexia? Her vocals are like warm syrup. Bless you dear Karen.
Wow. What a waterlogged version.
"…and what's more I've lost my appetite…" !!!
+DDumbrille The tempo was just sooooo slow! And that line was too prophetic.
John looks a little like howdy doody .in a cute way.
OMG @ 0:47
I just read where he admitted he's an atheist.
This may be strange to say but I can almost see a little bit of Judy Garland in Karen. Probably the vulerability.
👏🔝
IMHO Karen had such a superior voice and vocal abilities. John is good but Karen is great. But he lip syncs better, dances better, and is better on camera. It is an interesting contrast.
🎶 ❤️ 🎶
@Trina witte . Hello beautiful lady how are you doing you look familiar are you from Spain?
was that the guy from peaky blinders
If she could have just found a great guy instead of the Creep she married
In my opinion the version on the album "As time goes by" with Richard is much better!
@Jarred Knox I just like it more.
She should have married him
Karen and John briefly dated. Karen looks so terribly thin here!
unfortunately she becomes thinner later on.
Get your hands off her Davidson.
They dated for a bit, so eat your heart out! : P
They would have made a cute couple,..had her health been better, and he not being married at the time, maybe something would have developed...
I believe she was married.
@@dmnemaine to someone who really didn't love her. So sad. She deserved so much more than what she had in life.
John couldnt be married to a huge star like her. His ego was huge at the time.
they did not sing ..... they were both miming.
you can spot people miming a mile off.
Yes. It's what happened in nearly every feature film or television show that involved singing. The tracks were pre-recorded by the artists, who would then lip synch to a playback during the actual shoot. It was still John Davidson and Karen Carpenter singing. They had just done their vocals earlier. This was done because it was much easier to control the audio than it would have been if they had been singing live. One notable exception to this was Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady because he flatly refused to lip synch to a playback.
Loved her voice but she looks painfully thin here...
then he took her out to dinner
He's so much prettier than she.
