23 years old and absolutely adore the Carpenters. I bet Richard is proud of how much love their music still receives to this day. Only wish Karen was here to see how loved she and her voice still is.
I always love when a younger generation discovers Carpenters. Some may not like the type of songs they sing (love songs) but you can’t deny their talent. Richard’s wonderful arrangements and of course Karen’s incredible gifted voice. Thank you for discovering and appreciating them!
33 years old here, and I grew up listening to my mom's record collection - lots of Karen Carpenter music, since Mom owns everything they recorded - except Karen's final album and the unreleased solo album she made *with her own finances* while Richard was in drug recovery. Several of the songs were released years later, under the Carpenters name and label, despite a much different sound from their traditional recordings. Every time I hear a KC song, I stop what I'm doing and crank up the volume. RIP, Karen Carpenter 🕯️
When they toured in England, Paul McCartney invited them to his studio. Paul told her he was his favorite female singer. About 4 hours later she was at a press conference for their tour and a reporter asked her to comment on reviewers saying she at “big hips”. That is pretty brutal treatment for a 22 year old.
It was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. She and her brother Richard gave us one of the most heavenly sound I've ever heard. She is my favorite female vocalist.
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
With Richard’s ability to pick and arrange great songs. Their ability to overdub fantastic vocal harmonies and of course, Karen’s one of a kind voice, delivered timeless music that continues to be loved by generations of music lovers.
Their song" We've only just begun " was played at our wedding since my wife and I were fans in 1975. So when I hear that song today it takes us back almost 49 years.
The aspect about Karen Carpenter that I admire the most what that she was able to be both a phenomenal singer and drummer, which as mentioned was rare for a female artist during her time. It's just unfortunate that she was notable to overcome anorexia in the end. Well, I'm grateful that her brother, Richard and his family are doing reasonably well today. Rest in peace Karen, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.
I find it to be sadly ironic that for all of the beautiful and romantic love ballads that she graced the world with, that she never found anyone to truly love her.
If you listen to most of the songs she recorded, they are all about loss, tragedy, depression. She sang with such emotion because she was living the songs she sang. Karen stated in an interview the song she most closely related to was I Need To Be In Love and the line "I'm wide awake at 4am without a friend in sight".
Karen Carpenter, I am 61 years old today and listening to your wonderful voice. She was a fantastic singer. Wish she lived to old age. Unfortunately she died far too young. Rest in peace Karen.
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Her voice and talent as a drummer was completely unmatched! She was amazing, just wish that she knew it herself!💔 Her brother convinced her that her solo album would hurt her career, I think bec he was jealous of her! Jmho
In 2007, I was 16 and I first heard Karen's voice. I knew her pain instantly before I knew of her heart attack due to the complications of the anorexia nervosa. She is one of the only singers where I knew what she felt her loneliness. May she rest in peace. She was such a helper even telling Richard he had to go to rehab for his barbituate addiction and touring halting. I wish the same was given to her regardless of the fact we did not know enough about anorexia. She needed more. Many friends later recall they did not know how sad she was but I knew and I was just a teen.
@karasays01: I think part of the problem was Richard himself, I knew a friend whose husband was a recording engineer for A&M Records; Richard was the producer and he demanded perfection, he took up so much of Karen's time that she had zero personal life
Saw them in concert in 1974. When her golden voice came over the microphone the crowd started cheering. It was a privilege to be there. Favorite song : "There's a Kind of Hush" ( All Over the World) in 1976.
I adored Karen Carpenter's voice. I like to sing myself, and she may have been my favorite artist to sing along with . I remember the day she passed away. I had no idea of her personal struggles. That may have been the most difficult celebrity death I ever knew of.
She was the first celebrity death that really affected me, I just hope that wherever she is now she understands just how many people that loved her and that her voice has left a legacy that she can be proud of. Rest in peace Karen still missed to this day.
One summer day in 1970, My neighbor ran across the street, rang the bell and popped in the "Close to You" cassette. After a week, she finally insisted I return it. I was a member of the Carpenters' Fan Club and saw them twice in concert in Chicago. February 4th, 1983, I returned home from having my wisdom teeth extracted, only to hear the sad news. Sir, you did an excellent job putting together this comprehensive, accurate, and sensitive video.
As a drummer myself she was great both singing & as a drummer, she had a beautiful voice and her untimely death was a shock to the music world on February 4th 1983, if she had lived the carpenter's would have had numerous Grammy's just her singing alone was like being in heaven, R.I.P. KAREN YOU ARE TRULY TRULY MISSED EVERYDAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AMEN. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The singing Voice of Karen Carpenter is Absolutely Angelic and Unique to any Generation, Especially to Our Family and Our many Friends of the Early to Mid 1970's! Richard and Karen Carpenter are a Legacy of Excellence in " The Music Industry"! Karen's Awesome Unique Singing Voice and Richard's Awesome Songwriting Skills together they were Definitely the Greatest Musical Talents of Our Time and as a 12- Year Musician at that time till now there has never since been a Beautiful Female Musical Voice like we Karen Carpenter's! She had the most Soothing, Encouraging, and Uplifting and Real to Life Singers Voices Ever! We surely miss Her God Bless Her Richard Carpenter!
I grew up in the 70’s listening to The Carpenters. I loved their music and still do to this day. She had the most beautiful voice. The music she and Richard created together will live on for future generations to come.
I was in college when she died, and I was struggling with anorexia myself at the time. So, I felt like I understood her fears of being fat. I adored her music and her passing was thus a wake-up call to me. I struggled but got better. I too am a singer, and now her songs are the ones I like to sing most.
Is it just me, or does Karen remind me of Princess Kate? RIP Karen. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift with us. You and your brother brought us so much joy!
@@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy Everybody has at least one doppelganger out there somewhere. Mine was a mechanic named Paul that I used to see when we worked the outages at his power station near Boston.
She was a very beautiful woman with a really beautiful voice and a bubbly personality. It's sad that she passed away at such a young age. I'm sure that her memories and her music will live on forever
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
karen is my all time favorite singer she tried so very hard to have a normal life despite being a huge celebrated person LOVE HER VOICE BEAUTIFUL MELODIES AND SINGING PURE POP PERFECTION!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO RICHARD AND KAREN CARPENTER GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!
I remember hearing the Carpenters in grade school. I loved Karen’s voice so unique and soulful. I loved the arrangements Richard did for them. That is what missing in today’s music; theirs was pure talent! There is no other voice that compares to Karen’s angelic voice. I play their music all the time and enjoy seeing people’s reaction when they first hear their music. They are blown away! I love and you beautiful Karen always!❤
I was born in the late 70's. Even though I was so young when she died, I was fortunate enough to listen to her beautiful voice thanks to my older siblings.
It was said Karen C. had perfect pitch, a gifted-talented artist comment from a voice coach. A prodigy, she talented & showcased her gifts in their Christmas special singing: “Merry Christmas Darling,” & “Ave Maria” Born gifted, now a remembered legacy & legend. R.I.P. 😔
Growing up in the 70s I always enjoyed listening to the Carpenters but never knew about her anorexia until she passed away. Before her death I had never even heard of the word or what it was about and at the time I couldn't understand why someone as pretty and thin as she was felt the need to cut back on food to such an extreme.
Just the most amazing woman of all time. They are in every corner of my childhood. So very sad her passing for a reason that could have been prevented, had they known more about the disease. But you can't force someone to do what they just won't do. Rest sweet angel, you will always be in my prayers. Love you
Karen had a beautiful voice and was always an asset to the singing duo of the Carpenters. Even though she left us so long ago, I'm sure that she is singing with the angels.
I can relate; I struggled with anorexia in 1983-1986/ was hospitalized for the disease and told it was affecting my heart. I am fine now but it was the fight of my life to recover. Mine stemmed from early childhood sexual trauma. Karen's voice gave me hope and soothed me in the 1970's..so tragic...no one sounds like that and no one ever will!
I contribute my overcoming Anorexia to Karen. We both suffered about the same time, but sad her outcome was beyond tragic. I am forever grateful that she paved the way for my treatment and full recovery 🙏🏻 I miss her and wish her well beyond into eternity 🌌🌠
@@eunoiavision7567 First....I had excellent an excellent team of doctors who believed in me and worked tirelessly together. What usually was a two week stay in patient ended up being 3 months as they knew that anything less would result in me dying. I did an additional 1.5 years out patient as well as intense therapy on the outside with a private therapist and psychiatrist....and my internist. Sadly, that program has since shut down. I'm not sure what if any program has taken place as my treatment began in 1991. It took about 20+ years to overcome Anorexia/Bulimia. I had to push myself to comply which was a very emotionally painful process, but I was very determined becuz something deep inside was just too tired and I wanted to get better. It was not an easy road. I had my slip ups and plenty of back sliding and wanting to give up and give into the eating disorders. I am forever grateful that my doctors never gave up on me and Richard Carpenter sat on the board associated with my doctors. I am a huge Karen fan since the beginning of their career. Even though Karen lost her battle, she ultimately saved me by bringing awareness and treatment was born out of her loss. I am sad, but truly grateful. Just realize the disease distorts your thinking and if you don't work with your doctors, all the treatments in the world won't help you. I wish for you and all who suffer from Anorexia and or Bulimia to fully recover. My life has had many ups and downs, but that is life. I have been through hell , but my doctors have helped me to obtain better coping skills and plenty of tools to combat those feelings over the years. Hope this helps you or anyone in need of hope and assurance that recovery is possible with hard work and determination. Meet your doctors half way! I always focused on Karen and how her loss gave me the strength to beat what she couldn't (thank you Karen 😊).
I have been a Carpenter's fan all of my life, and still am. My musical likes span from 1950 to current. Being a music lover, I can count on one hand how many singers have such a gifted voice, and that is over a period of 60 years. Karen's voice and Richard's productions have made the "Carpenters" more than lifetime legends. Her voice and the music will live on forever. She is still missed by many, including me.
I was being picked up my carpool when I learned about Karens passing. I was really devastated. I have albums and CDS of theirs. I can't pick a favorite song as they were good. RIP Karen Carpenter, you are very much missed. Love and Prayers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🕊
I remember the first time I heard "The Carpenters" was when I was 12 and picking strawberries for the Summer... I was really sad when she died.. I still love their music...❤
I love The Carpenters. I still listen to their songs, and my Christmas won't be complete without their Christmas music and without watching their Christmas specials. They've become one of my Christmas traditions, and Christmas is my fav time of the year
@FactsVerse ... My favs are: 1. Love Me For What I am 2. I need To Be In Love 3. Make Believe It's Your First Time 4. You're Enough 5. Now 6. Beechwood 7. Goodbye To Love 8. Breaking Up Is Hard To Do 9. Only Yesterday 10. Top of the World and more...... 🤭
The beloved Carpenter Duo was one of the best part of the music world back then. Talent, charisma, with an enormous following. Karen left us a gift by sharing with the world about anexoria, signs, and warnings, to help the public become more aware of the disease. A brave woman fighting for herself. A true pioneer. Richard found a way for himself to start again in a new life, honoring his sister. Love to both of you.❤❤❤
She had the voice of an angel. Loved her & still miss her to this day. I have a double CD of their hits which I still listen to. She was a wonderful musician in addition to her vocal talent. Such a terrible loss.
I have always loved The Carpenters, Karen had a very unique voice, and was also an amazing drummer! I was born in 1961, it was very rare to see a female drummer in the early to mid 1960's, one of the first was Honey Lantree in the group The Honeycombs, they had a hit with "Have I The Right" in 1964! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We're very happy to know that you're a fan of the Carpenters. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
Karen and Richard Carpenter have always been my favorites! I learned a lot from their songs! I am a singer because of Karen and she will always be remembered for her talents! She is greatly missed! I will never forget the impact she had on .me in the 1970's because I was a teenager wanting to be just like Karen Carpenter!❤😊
A friend of mine was a roadie for them. He told me that Karen had a relationship that fell apart which pushed her over the edge. She had issues with her weight when she was young and it affected her self esteem. She had the voice of an angel
She was a very special voice & sensitive .I hate what does to especially women to make them them about they're weight & appearance rather than they're talent. We started a have a movement move toward body acceptance. But unfortunately we backed down to narrasistic B.S. what a beautiful talent gone in her prime. Your forever the best!!!❤❤❤❤
I loved the carpenters they were a good brother and sister act Karen had a beautiful voice too bad she passed away so young she is missed I have a cd of their music good video vickie napa california
Karen may be gone but her amazing voice will never be stilled. I was becoming a teenager as the carpenters started to gain traction and I remember one of my first records was the carpenters . I also learned to love thunderbirds because of Richard
Richard and Karen are the Dynamic Duo of music. There hasn't been or will never be another Karen. Thanks for the fond memories that live on till this day. Rest Well Princess.
@@FactsVerse This one was well thought out and displayed. Special people like Karen don't need a lot of time to bless us with her presence. Of course, we want more but I refuse to see someone suffer for my selfishness. I love her and Richard so much.
I did and still do love Karen’s voice 🎵She is my favorite singer and I feel so sad that she went through that 😢 I love every song she sang 💖 I guess she didn’t know how much she was loved 💔 Thanks for all your beautiful songs 💔🎵🎶
I’m over 24 and a half years old and I have listened to the Carpenters since I was in preschool. At first, I mainly heard their music on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, although it was on the XM portion and later the Sirius portion - the latter portion being through dish network. Between 2002 and 2007, I mainly heard three songs by them: “Home for the Holidays”, “Solitaire” and “Sing”. In 2008, however, I delved deeper into their catalog via TH-cam and eventually through physical media including CDs and Vinyl. Karen Carpenter’s voice hooked me every time.
It's so sad her mom wasnt there for her I went through the same thing my brother was his mom favorite i say his mom because i ran away at 14 to my grandmothers i had the 2 best grandmothers in the world my grandmother that took me in was my grandmother best friend mother she took care of me when she got older i took care of her never went back home my home was with my grandmother ❤she passed at 99 she was a great lady
Sing a song🎵🎙was my favorite by. The. Carpenters song Karen was an amazing drummer and singer and her brother. Richard was an amazing pianist🎹 Her voice will live on forever. Rip. Karen😥
Her voice was Angelic and I could listen to her all day. It’s so sad that she suffered so bad from anorexia I wish she would’ve gotten help with this horrible disease. I’m sure that she would still be singing as beautiful today as she did back in the 70s.
It was so sad to lose karen, it makes you think like, her family, especially her brother Richard, must have been so out of it when she died. I think of all the songs the world could have heard from her, had she lived. Karen is at the top of my list of great female singers.

We're very happy to know that you're a fan of the Carpenters. We miss Karen. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
i just loved her voice there has never been anyone who could sing like karen she is still sadly missed
Cher? She comes very close and a very distinctive sound too!
Just the most amazing woman of all time. They are in every corner of my childhood. So very sad her passing for a reason that could have been prevented, had they known more about the disease. But you can't force someone to do what they just won't do. Rest sweet angel, you will always be in my prayers. Love you
Karen had a beautiful voice and was always an asset to the singing duo of the Carpenters. Even though she left us so long ago, I'm sure that she is singing with the angels.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Be safe and have a great evening ❤❤
I can relate; I struggled with anorexia in 1983-1986/ was hospitalized for the disease and told it was affecting my heart. I am fine now but it was the fight of my life to recover. Mine stemmed from early childhood sexual trauma. Karen's voice gave me hope and soothed me in the 1970's..so tragic...no one sounds like that and no one ever will!
She was beautiful and it’s a shame she died so young
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great evening!
I contribute my overcoming Anorexia to Karen.
We both suffered about the same time, but sad her outcome was beyond tragic.
I am forever grateful that she paved the way for my treatment and full recovery 🙏🏻
I miss her and wish her well beyond into eternity 🌌🌠
How did you recover? How long did it take?
@@eunoiavision7567 First....I had excellent an excellent team of doctors who believed in me and worked tirelessly together.
What usually was a two week stay in patient ended up being 3 months as they knew that anything less would result in me dying. I did an additional 1.5 years out patient as well as intense therapy on the outside with a private therapist and psychiatrist....and my internist.
Sadly, that program has since shut down. I'm not sure what if any program has taken place as my treatment began in 1991.
It took about 20+ years to overcome Anorexia/Bulimia.
I had to push myself to comply which was a very emotionally painful process, but I was very determined becuz something deep inside was just too tired and I wanted to get better.
It was not an easy road. I had my slip ups and plenty of back sliding and wanting to give up and give into the eating disorders.
I am forever grateful that my doctors never gave up on me and Richard Carpenter sat on the board associated with my doctors.
I am a huge Karen fan since the beginning of their career.
Even though Karen lost her battle, she ultimately saved me by bringing awareness and treatment was born out of her loss. I am sad, but truly grateful.
Just realize the disease distorts your thinking and if you don't work with your doctors, all the treatments in the world won't help you.
I wish for you and all who suffer from Anorexia and or Bulimia to fully recover.
My life has had many ups and downs, but that is life. I have been through hell , but my doctors have helped me to obtain better coping skills and plenty of tools to combat those feelings over the years.
Hope this helps you or anyone in need of hope and assurance that recovery is possible with hard work and determination. Meet your doctors half way!
I always focused on Karen and how her loss gave me the strength to beat what she couldn't (thank you Karen 😊).
I have been a Carpenter's fan all of my life, and still am. My musical likes span from 1950 to current. Being a music lover, I can count on one hand how many singers have such a gifted voice, and that is over a period of 60 years. Karen's voice and Richard's productions have made the "Carpenters" more than lifetime legends. Her voice and the music will live on forever. She is still missed by many, including me.
We're also a big fan of the Carpenters and we're happy you are too!
I was being picked up my carpool when I learned about Karens passing. I was really devastated. I have albums and CDS of theirs. I can't pick a favorite song as they were good.
RIP Karen Carpenter, you are very much missed. Love and Prayers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🕊
Karen had a beautiful voice and I still listen to their music. So sad that we lost a very talented and lovely lady.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Karen. Which Carpenters song appealed to you the most?
She always looked happiest behind the drums.
I remember the first time I heard "The Carpenters" was when I was 12 and picking strawberries for the Summer... I was really sad when she died.. I still love their music...❤
Us too! Thank you so much for sharing your life story. Which of their songs appealed to you the most?

The beloved Carpenter Duo was one of the best part of the music world back then. Talent, charisma, with an enormous following. Karen left us a gift by sharing with the world about anexoria, signs, and warnings, to help the public become more aware of the disease. A brave woman fighting for herself. A true pioneer. Richard found a way for himself to start again in a new life, honoring his sister. Love to both of you.❤❤❤
She had the voice of an angel. Loved her & still miss her to this day. I have a double CD of their hits which I still listen to. She was a wonderful musician in addition to her vocal talent. Such a terrible loss.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Karen. Made us miss her more 😢
I have always loved The Carpenters, Karen had a very unique voice, and was also an amazing drummer! I was born in 1961, it was very rare to see a female drummer in the early to mid 1960's, one of the first was Honey Lantree in the group The Honeycombs, they had a hit with "Have I The Right" in 1964! 😊

I am born in 90's but my heart belongs to 70's thank you karen
Karen and Richard Carpenter have
always been my favorites! I learned
a lot from their songs! I am a singer because of Karen and she will always be remembered for her
talents! She is greatly missed! I will
never forget the impact she had on
.me in the 1970's because I was a
teenager wanting to be just like Karen Carpenter!❤😊
Glad to know that you're a fan of Karen and Richard! Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
As many have said, voice of an angel!! Always loved Bless the Beasts and the Children.
at 32, she looked 20 years older. Greatest voice of all, I really enjoy watching her drum and sing at the same time.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
A friend of mine was a roadie for them. He told me that Karen had a relationship that fell apart which pushed her over the edge. She had issues with her weight when she was young and it affected her self esteem.
She had the voice of an angel
At this point in history, her relationships are well documented.
The voice like an angel!
❤ She Was A Gifted In Music ❤
Absolutely! What is your favorite Carpenters song?
@@FactsVerse
We’ve Only Just Begun
She was a very special voice & sensitive .I hate what does to especially women to make them them about they're weight & appearance rather than they're talent. We started a have a movement move toward body acceptance. But unfortunately we backed down to narrasistic B.S. what a beautiful talent gone in her prime. Your forever the best!!!❤❤❤❤
I loved the carpenters they were a good brother and sister act Karen had a beautiful voice too bad she passed away so young she is missed I have a cd of their music good video vickie napa california

@@FactsVerse This one was well thought out and displayed. Special people like Karen don't need a lot of time to bless us with her presence. Of course, we want more but I refuse to see someone suffer for my selfishness. I love her and Richard so much.
I did and still do love Karen’s voice 🎵She is my favorite singer and I feel so sad that she went through that 😢 I love every song she sang 💖 I guess she didn’t know how much she was loved 💔 Thanks for all your beautiful songs 💔🎵🎶
So much love in the comments for the Carpenters. Nice to see.
I absolutely loved Karen Carpenter from the first time I ever saw her! Every time I see her sing I cry very bad! G_d Bless her Soul❤
I am SO THANKFUL to have lived during this time and feel SO BLESSED to have ENJOYED the music of the Carpenters!!!
Richard needs to get more recognition for his writing and performances!

@@FactsVerse I love them all, but my favorite is superstar 💗
I like Karen Carpenter's music. Good morning to you.
I’m over 24 and a half years old and I have listened to the Carpenters since I was in preschool. At first, I mainly heard their music on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, although it was on the XM portion and later the Sirius portion - the latter portion being through dish network. Between 2002 and 2007, I mainly heard three songs by them: “Home for the Holidays”, “Solitaire” and “Sing”. In 2008, however, I delved deeper into their catalog via TH-cam and eventually through physical media including CDs and Vinyl. Karen Carpenter’s voice hooked me every time.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I like music, movies, religion, food nutrition, weather, and other.
I'm still in love with Karen Carpenter even to this day!😍 I miss her so much!
Probably the best singing voice you'll ever hear
I'm 65 and still listen to their music. Pure, fresh and iconic.
Same here. I'm 66 and when I hear songs like "Close to You", it takes me back to my junior high days. They were warm memories. ❤
Rainy days, always makes me 😢 cry...it's her song of her life. Bawl my eyes out when here it.
@@jennyhaines1104 I heard that song today. The weather here has been rainy and cold. The song was fitting.
Same here 65, really enjoyed their music. Karen is unrivalled, the greatest voice to ever have graced the planet.
Gone too soon... Even now, i get emotional when I listen to her songs.
Missing her still.
It's so sad her mom wasnt there for her I went through the same thing my brother was his mom favorite i say his mom because i ran away at 14 to my grandmothers i had the 2 best grandmothers in the world my grandmother that took me in was my grandmother best friend mother she took care of me when she got older i took care of her never went back home my home was with my grandmother ❤she passed at 99 she was a great lady
Sing a song🎵🎙was my favorite by. The. Carpenters song Karen was an amazing drummer and singer and her brother. Richard was an amazing pianist🎹 Her voice will live on forever. Rip. Karen😥
Todos los dias escucho sus canciones. Soy un fan de estos hermanos. Desde Chile.
I grew up with her music and I still love her music to this day(2024).
The first time I heard Karen sing it was so magical and I still play the carpenters somgs to this day it was so sad that she died so young 🩷🩷
To me, she is still the best female voice that has ever lived or existed.
Her voice was Angelic and I could listen to her all day. It’s so sad that she suffered so bad from anorexia I wish she would’ve gotten help with this horrible disease. I’m sure that she would still be singing as beautiful today as she did back in the 70s.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED KAREN'S VOICE!!!THERE MUSIC IS TIME LESS!!! RIP KAREN YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!
She's so beautiful and a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice
I'm 29 now and Karen Carpenters is my favorite singer. Always❤

It was so sad to lose karen, it makes you think like, her family, especially her brother Richard, must have been so out of it when she died. I think of all the songs the world could have heard from her, had she lived. Karen is at the top of my list of great female singers.
So true! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite song of the Carpenters?
Best voice in the business!
