I'm 73 years old and hearing her voice makes me feel like I was 17 again and I was in the Navy and headed to Vietnam..... Their music could always calm me down when things were dangerous and the long hours I worked. ✝️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Carpenters. Nurses played them as part of my therapy going through my battle with cancer. Along with some Helen Redding. I just melt hearing them both. I thanks them SO because MUSIC IS MY LIFE and cure for whatever I'm going through in life. Wish I could meet those Nurses again to thank them and let them see just how far I've come.🥰💖
Am I the only one who gets emotional listening to Carpenters.....all my life.......I am entering 60s ! How I love the beautiful people ............who taught me love through their voice and music. Thanks for the upload.
@@joshuat6124 What a lovely memory. I'm 62 and listened to the radio constantly as a teenager. Those years were terrible for my family. Music Kept my sister and I going. The Carpenters songs will always be special for us. (Tears streaming.)
@@tonijames59 Thanks for sharing how much music, and the Carpenters especially, was special to you and your sister. I don't know what your family went through but I hope you both came through stronger and contented~ Wishing you all the best for whatever the future holds~ from United Kingdom (I was in Hong Kong at the time~)!
I saw the Carpenters in concert in fall 1973. Her voice was as pure live in concert as it was in an acoustically engineered recording studio. Pure golden honey. One of the greatest singers the world had the pleasure to meet. It is a dream
Ouço as músicas deles sempre que posso. Fiquei muito triste quando ela faleceu. Me toca muito até hoje, acho que ela morreu em 1984. Era um rouxinol. Uma voz ímpar.
Karen was and will always be the VOICE to me. I'm 59 year's old now, and my Heart still misses her precious little time that she had on this Earth. She passed on in 1983 at such a forever young age. 😭 she will never be forgotten in my memories of and her brother. I play her music all the time and hopefully when my time is up on this Earth I will get to see and hear her Angelic voice and Heaven. May she rest in peace forever more and sleep in heaven with our heavenly father and the angels!
I was only 13 when the news of her passing was announced on the radio and it broke my heart. I loved her angelic voice and music back then and I still do. I'll never get tired of listening to those two. Gotta love him for his amazing gift and talent for picking out a hit song and her for the just beautiful unique voice and ability to convey emotions in the truly unique way that she did when she sang. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that she is truly missed
I remember exactly where I was when I heard that she had died! And I was devastated. In a car driving home from work, I was sobbing! Now I'm 76 and my heart has never healed from losing this beautiful person and her perfect voice. ❤
My mother loves Carpenters. These songs were always playing when I was a child. Hearing them takes me back to long, sunny summer days. Sitting on the stairs watching my mother sing along as she was doing housework. That endless summer of childhood. So relaxing, and so poignant: wishing for that time of innocence that will never return.
Those days are still here, and can be re-enforced, if you stand your place, and instill the same love in your children, grandchildren, and others, as is portrayed in the Carpenters' music..
Yeah those days were so so lovely! Oh so nostalgic! Yes Those bygone golden innocent days will never returned again! But I am glad that I live to reminisce those precious and valuable days!
During those years when my country the Philippines was under Martial Law in 1971, the nice and soothing voice of the Carpenters was my source of Peace and Harmony under the Turbulent Time. I'm now 76.
This is, Karen Carpenter has, truly one of the greatest, most emotionally expressive voices of all time, so warm, so liquid, filling the room, OMG!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯
I have been on a Carpenters kick for a couple months now too....me and my sister used to wear their albums out ....we would pretend to be them ....never even coming close to as good lol.... unfortunately my sister passed away also about 10 yrs ago I've lost 2 sisters so I know that kind of pain it's a hole that will always be there......their music defineitly takes u back to a happier more simple time in life and in this world as much as it could have been in the early 70s anyway....i was born in 1970 so I'm lucky enough to have had this music in my life from it's beginning and mine..
I'm 60 and I like to listen to the Carpenters they take me back in time when my life was full of dreams and happy life with my best friend and having my parents present in my life. So when I listen makes me feel alive and well very bless. Thanks be to God for always being there for me in Jesus name Amen. 😘❤😇👣🌈
I Remember my mother listening to all of The Carpenters songs when I was a boy, and now Me and my wife listens to them Together! These songs have been a great Inspiration to our Marriage of 23 year's and We are still going strong Amen!! God Rest my Mother's Soul Amen!! I know her and Miss Karen have Talked and are looking down on me and my Wife! Amen!!
Most of the 70's music was so soothing 😊. It was hard not to feel love for one another. Our music brought us together. We never even thought about hurting one another when music was on..😊..We would all just sway back and forth together and sing our hearts out. I was very blessed to have grown up during the 70-80's music 😊. I'm 61 y/o now and it's still all I listen to. I just couldn't adapt to the 90's and after that.
Love the Carpenters. Know all of their songs from the 70’s. They were my favorite group. Karen’s voice was just lovely and soothing. She died too soon. We lost a great performer. And wow her brother was a genius in writing music back in the day.
Por isso devemos viver o hoje, né? O amanhã não existe, existe o hoje o agora e nossa vida passa muito rápido. Hoje tenho 63 anos e comecei a gostar dos Carpenters aos 15 anos e aos 25 anos veio a notícia de sua passagem para o plano espiritual. Nunca entendi sua partida tão cedo. É insubstituível!
I'm only 20 years old, and I love these songs! I'm so glad my parents and older relatives taught some old songs, but by far, the songs of Karen Carpenter are the best! ❤️
I agree ! Give Judith Durham a shot , she was the the lead singer with the Australian group , The Seekers' , ie Georgie Girl . She passed in Aug. 2022 at 79 ..... I know their both in the Lord's Heavenly Choir ..... both crystal clear voices ! RIP ladies .....
My Dad use to play this music when was coming up,this takes me back and now that I have my own little one it feels good to listen to her music and share her beautiful voice with my son.
I'm 51 now but these songs are precious. My mum who adopted me had a carpenters tribute band all over Canada 🇨🇦. Tragically too she give up on living age 43. ..yet she had the voice of an angel. I'm 51 now and miss my friend from 30 years ago. Both irreplaceable.. xxx
Caroline godmorning i like Very Very good lremenber yours sings and years. Seventh. I an só hapi. I remenber you ALL fay. Hapi day for you you is Very spacial isaac
The Carpenters were one of a kind! They were so talented! Karen had the most beautiful voice! I have listened to them since I was a little girl. Their music has always soothed me! What I like is each song they do seems that someone can relate to it. Such talent! It was so sad when Karen Carpenter died! Such a rare voice. She is definately missed!
I remember my mom and Grandmother listening to them while they decorated the house for various functions like Christmas for instance( in the 70's) The house was built back in the early 60's in a prominent neighborhood at that time. I was an all American kid, paper route, Boy scouts. Church on Sundays. Magical times.... When I think about that time when my Grandfather was alive and younger...it kind of brings me to what Heaven might be like, a place where family and love is all together. I miss it
I'm not nearly where you are in life ,but one thing g is our love for the carpenters reminds me of a little girl, Happy. Joanne may ,made my childhood happier along with this. God bless you xxx
Brings back so many high school memories, & beyond! I remember singing along everytime a Carpenter song came on the radio. I was so upset when Karen died. What talent she had!
I have just discovered The Carpenters this Christmas and it sounds marvellous 🤩. I'm 41 years old and from Spain, and I didn't heard never about them. I really love it, thank you 😘
a voice that touches the heart, her love of singing really comes through. a talent in the way that Minnie Riperton was. i loved this music by them back in the 70]s in high school. was sad to hear of her passing.
Thank you for your service. Love how the people from EE.UU. respect their people who dedicated their life to the country. We have something to learn in Europe. Karen voice always in my mind.
I m an Indian... these songs are taking me down the memory lane... my fav songs ... in my boyhood ... growing with these songs ..really .. bringing my memories back.. feeling nostalgic .
I miss mom this is her favorite songs..as i remember we sing it together and now every time i heard it i feel relaxed and remembering the happy memories of my mom❤❤❤ thanks to the vocalist of this songs
This was my mom's favorite , I can remember her playing all these songs on saturday mornings while she did her daily chores...I really appreciate them now... mom passed 10 months ago , and I really miss her..
Memories are so very priceless aren't they, you hear the gift of music, which magically takes you back to that era & place in time. Thank God for memories..... NC!
@@bauertime Bad joke what an understatement !!! You're making jokes on a deceased person, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Karen died from anorexia , do you have any idea what a horrible death that is. Shame on you.....
So sad that such a breath of fresh air left way to soon. Karen & Richard blessed so many people. My girlfriend Traci died of anorexia nervosis at 32 years also. What a tragedy in both cases. Karen is sleeping in JESUS CHRIST but someday soon Karen & Traci will be singing for the Universe.🙏☝️ Sincerely Mark
The carpenters are one of the best old school groups in my lifetime It pains me deeply that Karen died at such a young age for she had one of the best voices that I've heard From jazz blues-rock you name it I've heard it and I like them all but she is ahead of her class I continue to listen to her today because she calms me like not many can do I will carry her music to my grave
my all-time favorite female singer, had all her albums listened to her on 8-track and cassette, now i listen on u-tube what a great thing we have to keep the memories alive. probably the 1st case of anorexia nervosa in a celebrity before the medical community knew what they were dealing with still love those clear, sweet notes that Karen hit had the biggest crush on her my whole life and it still continues when i listen now.
I have been sick with lymphedema and I find that Karen Carpenter has a healing sound to her voice it is the only music that I will play that calms me down enough to allow medicines to work thank you for your beautiful music and your talent we miss you today and always Karen
I'm listening to this album and recalling all the good old days when Karen was my favorite singer with the golden voice. She sang with such passion and made every song special and unforgettable. She left us too early ....but her songs continue to live on in those of us who grew up singing along with her then. May she sing on with the angels above and smile whenever anyone of her fans here play her songs....
@@jimmyjoe1591 Unfortunately, he was a horrible person, too. She should have known him longer than a couple of months before marrying him. Hope she's happier now.
She was a Super Nova vocally. A star that burn so bright it's truly blinding but doesn't last long....we are lucky we live in a time where we can enjoy her music even though she is long gone.
Me and my brother, me at the age of 10 my brother at the age 11 would sit in the rocking chairs rocking away with the big head phones on singing away, burned out 2 8 track tapes. My brother died in Feb 2020 with leukemia we were very close, I listen to this often I sing loud cry hard and think about us, then SMILE
She and Richard worked very hard to duplicate their recordings in live performances, one of their “pet peeves” being established artists who liked to “experiment” with new versions of their classic hits in concert.
I weep for Karen Carpenter, I long to be close to her. She sang my heart ❤️ as a lost little girl. I pray that on the day that all the angels came together, I’ll be close to you. Bless your beautiful soul Karen Carpenter. I I feel your pain girlfriend , I pray to God if he does exist that you are at peace . thank you so much, Rest in peace my beautiful girl
The first time I heard the carpenters, I was on my my way to the grocery store. I heard their song from a neighbor's home. While listening it started to rain. I couldn't move!!! I got drenched!!! LOVE KC!!!!
Carpenters. How have they not built a home in my heart? With songs that tell stories, how could they not tell what my life was way back when I was younger? Really, these siblings are amazing, carving memories which I get to look at when situations seem to drag me down to memory lane! Thank you for putting these songs together. Thank you for letting me find an abode when life seems perplexed and tiring. Keep doing!😍
I saw them in concert in the early 70s when I was 4 or 5 years old. It made a HUGE impression on me and her songs are embedded in my memory. I kept the ticket stubs and the concert booklet. Her tragic death gave a name to eating disorders so that by the time I was in high school in the early 80s help was available. It saved the life of one of my friends. As an adult the purity of her voice amazes me. A great talent taken too soon!
Ho 67 anni e la musica dei Carpenter ha il dono di riportarmi indietro negli anni, quelli.della mia giovinezza, che sono stati i più belli della mia vita Mi commuovo al solo pensarci Sono andati via troppo in fretta, ma il ricordo e' dolce e struggente, merito di questa voce divina
I love you Karen Carpenter. I'm 60 now and you have always been my favourite. You are beautiful and extremely talented and this world would have been so much better if you were still with us.
Most of these I listened to on 45. But I have a Reel-to-reel of her that is magical. RCA music club had reel-to-reels in the 80's for people with high end hifi systems. One of them I ordered is now very rare, it is 4-track. But the most rarest I have is not of the Carpenters. It's a Thin Lizzy that is not only 4-track, it's 4-track surround sound. So you place the speakers around you. When you hear the car racing in "boys are back in town", it drives around you 360 degrees.
I have such fond memories of growing up singing these songs with my mom and my grandpa. On holidays we would plug in the reel to reel , attach a mic and sing together to all the Carpenter‘s biggest hits. Karen’s voice is soothing to the soul even today. May she rest in peace with Jesus forever. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
It’s a little hard to do her lower register, when you are a soprano- I know , I’ve tried . It’s terribly “ uncomfortable “ to lower an octave when you’re a true soprano.
There's nothing wrong with being emotional listing to the carpenters I'm in my late seventies and the same as you a waste of a good singer when she died have you seen the life story very touching
This is the most wonderful voice I have ever heard and her musical ear and the ability to sing in perfect tune is more than amazing. I always compare her voice with a perfect sound made by some electronic means or something. It's just beyond belief. The whole world lost so much with her passing the probably most people don't realize it.
The Carpenters were formational in my childhood happiness. My heart aches at the memory of her passing. Karen was beautiful inside and out. I wish she knew it too.
I'm an avid fan of The Carpenter's songs. I've been waiting for them to perform in the Philippines but it never materialized until Karen died. It's sad😪😔😭 Karen's got a very unique clear singing voice.👍
I would play The Carpenters Album after My Kids went to Sleep. Now My Daughter. Who's,. 48 years old. Knows every word to these songs. She learned them in her Sleep
I also am an old lady who loved their SONGS & MUSIC !!! My oldest son is much older & so am I...but this was from my era. Great songs, great harmony of voices, and great lyrics !!! CLASSIC
YESTERDAY ONE MORE When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile. Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well. Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. When they get to the part Where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more. Lookin' back on how it was In years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed. It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away. Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're startin' to sing's So fine. All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry. Just like before It's yesterday once more.
Así es, nada no hay nada que se parezca siquiera, yo creo que los seres humanos de las generaciones pasadas, éramos mejores seres humanos dónde respetabamos, fueron generaciones con mucha educación y se fomentaban los valores en la mayoría de los hogares. Yo me siento muy orgullosa de mi generación actualmente tengo 69 años.
@@georginalopez3617 espera, ¿lo dices en serio? Déjame reírme más fuerte. Hay música buenísima en la actualidad, sólo es cuestión de salirse del prejuicio de que todo lo actual es basura y buscar un poco (a decir verdad todas las generaciones lo son. Sin ir más lejos, toda la música de antes a mí me suena igual y las letras suelen hablar casi de lo mismo tal cual como sucede ahora).
@@georginalopez3617 Tiene toda la razón. Tengo 40 años y lo notaba de pequeña, esos valores y educación que había y que nos inculcaban. Ahora veo la sociedad que me ha tocado vivir y me da pena. Su generación maravillosa.
Still listening in 2020 I listen to the carpenters regularly In my opinion the best voice ever unlike most of today's performers an auto tune mic was not required, Karen's voice is like velvet sadly missed since 1983 god bless you Karen xx
I'm 73 years old and hearing her voice makes me feel like I was 17 again and I was in the Navy and headed to Vietnam..... Their music could always calm me down when things were dangerous and the long hours I worked. ✝️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service in Vn.
Parabéns à Thimoty...
Karen e seu irmão...perfeitos em seu singular talento...
Philippines 🇵🇭fought along side America during the Vietnam war, Korean war and Imperial Japan. We Filipinos love your America❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Mr. Turner for serving our country
You don't hear music like this today,give me the song's of the 60-70s .real music 🎶
I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Carpenters. Nurses played them as part of my therapy going through my battle with cancer. Along with some Helen Redding. I just melt hearing them both. I thanks them SO because MUSIC IS MY LIFE and cure for whatever I'm going through in life. Wish I could meet those Nurses again to thank them and let them see just how far I've come.🥰💖

I'm 61 but listening to carpenters makes me feel young at heart
I saw the Carpenters in concert in fall 1973. Her voice was as pure live in concert as it was in an acoustically engineered recording studio. Pure golden honey. One of the greatest singers the world had the pleasure to meet. It is a dream
Ouço as músicas deles sempre que posso. Fiquei muito triste quando ela faleceu. Me toca muito até hoje, acho que ela morreu em 1984. Era um rouxinol. Uma voz ímpar.
Raise your glass to the Carpenters..
Karen was and will always be the VOICE to me. I'm 59 year's old now, and my Heart still misses her precious little time that she had on this Earth. She passed on in 1983 at such a forever young age. 😭 she will never be forgotten in my memories of and her brother. I play her music all the time and hopefully when my time is up on this Earth I will get to see and hear her Angelic voice and Heaven. May she rest in peace forever more and sleep in heaven with our heavenly father and the angels!
I'm SO JEALOUS! Yaaay for you!
Realmente uma perda inestimável! Semelhante a Whitney Houston!
I was only 13 when the news of her passing was announced on the radio and it broke my heart. I loved her angelic voice and music back then and I still do.

My mother loves Carpenters. These songs were always playing when I was a child. Hearing them takes me back to long, sunny summer days. Sitting on the stairs watching my mother sing along as she was doing housework. That endless summer of childhood. So relaxing, and so poignant: wishing for that time of innocence that will never return.
Wow so beautifully and eloquently stated. I echo those sentiments
Those days are still here, and can be re-enforced, if you stand your place, and instill the same love in your children, grandchildren, and others, as is portrayed in the Carpenters' music..
Yeah those days were so so lovely! Oh so nostalgic! Yes Those bygone golden innocent days will never returned again! But I am glad that I live to reminisce those precious and valuable days!
Those songs send my mind back to my teenage days, I had a little transistor radio, wow I was so young and innocent😀
This is the first time I am listening to Carpenters but your comment made me imagine my childhood years and this music fits into it so well
I am 18 and I feel like an old soul. Good music never dies.
Hero!!
You shall never hear a voice like this again.
During those years when my country the Philippines was under Martial Law in 1971, the nice and soothing voice of the Carpenters was my source of Peace and Harmony under the Turbulent Time. I'm now 76.
They've gone and voted for another Marcos wtf?
This is, Karen Carpenter has, truly one of the greatest, most emotionally expressive voices of all time, so warm, so liquid, filling the room, OMG!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯

I'm a big Elvis fan but every now and then I like to listen to Karen Carpenter, such a beautiful talent lost but never forgotten
Have listened to this music almost everyday during these painful times. Grew up in the 70's and 80's with the best music. So grateful for TH-cam.

I also grew up listening to the Carpenters. I love singing her songs. She was a remarkable woman. A soul taken too soon.
I'm 29 years old, but i'm so glad to hear carpenters songs since 6 years old because my father song.

So happy to hear someone from a younger generation can appreciate the Carpenters.
I'll be 48 in 5 days born in 1976 and have always loved her voice
The best female vocalist ever! Silky smooth and so fantastic!
I thought the same thing. I have to tip my hat to the song writing and music as well. Its like genius level.
I agree ! Give Judith Durham a shot , she was the the lead singer with the Australian group , The Seekers' , ie Georgie Girl . She passed in Aug. 2022 at 79 ..... I know their both in the Lord's Heavenly Choir ..... both crystal clear voices ! RIP ladies .....
Karen’s voice is simply perfect, not a hint of tension or struggle, just easy singing making every man’s heart follow with joy.

I still miss her so much to this day. Such a great loss. What a fantastic legacy. RIP Karen. We loved you and we love you still.
Karen Carpenter touches my heart even today 40+ years since I first heard her.... memories of those days come rushing back with her music
Listening to Karen reminds me of the feeling i had when i was craving ...her voice is addictive...and beautiful
She had a beautiful voice that was breath taking , but the arrangements by her brother Richard were outstanding!!

a voice that touches the heart, her love of singing really comes through. a talent in the way that Minnie Riperton was. i loved this music by them back in the 70]s in high school. was sad to hear of her passing.
Thank you for your service. Love how the people from EE.UU. respect their people who dedicated their life to the country. We have something to learn in Europe. Karen voice always in my mind.
I m an Indian... these songs are taking me down the memory lane... my fav songs ... in my boyhood ... growing with these songs ..really .. bringing my memories back.. feeling nostalgic .
I miss mom this is her favorite songs..as i remember we sing it together and now every time i heard it i feel relaxed and remembering the happy memories of my mom❤❤❤ thanks to the vocalist of this songs
Same 🥺 I miss my mom too 💔
My mom played all the songs on this album when I was young and recall falling asleep to the carpenters..
This was my mom's favorite , I can remember her playing all these songs on saturday mornings while she did her daily chores...I really appreciate them now... mom passed 10 months ago , and I really miss her..
I'm 60....beautiful voice. Prefer listening to them as I did when I was 17. Soothing
I still remember listening to the 8 track in my dad’s convertible, Southern California, 8 years old. Priceless memory.
Listening now in Detroit ❤️🇺🇸
Memories are so very priceless aren't they, you hear the gift of music, which magically takes you back to that era & place in time. Thank God for memories..... NC!
And they cut the song switching tracks ruining the vibe. No wonder 8-tracks stunk so bad.
Mm

She had the greatest voice of all time for a female vocalest.
You have that right!
AGREED
Yes I agree, her voice melted you like butter, with love and feeling 😘😘😘xxxx
Fat girls usually do. Sorry bad joke.
@@bauertime Bad joke what an understatement !!! You're making jokes on a deceased person, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Karen died from anorexia , do you have any idea what a horrible death that is. Shame on you.....
So sad that such a breath of fresh air left way to soon. Karen & Richard blessed so many people. My girlfriend Traci died of anorexia nervosis at 32 years also.
What a tragedy in both cases. Karen is sleeping in JESUS CHRIST but someday soon Karen & Traci will be singing for the Universe.🙏☝️
Sincerely Mark
The carpenters are one of the best old school groups in my lifetime It pains me deeply that Karen died at such a young age for she had one of the best voices that I've heard From jazz blues-rock you name it I've heard it and I like them all but she is ahead of her class I continue to listen to her today because she calms me like not many can do I will carry her music to my grave
my all-time favorite female singer, had all her albums listened to her on 8-track and cassette, now i listen on u-tube what a great thing we have to keep the memories alive. probably the 1st case of anorexia nervosa in a celebrity before the medical community knew what they were dealing with still love those clear, sweet notes that Karen hit had the biggest crush on her my whole life and it still continues when i listen now.
yes, the Carpenters, a great unique and magical moment in the lives of all those who lived those magical times, miss Karen and Richard👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have been sick with lymphedema and I find that Karen Carpenter has a healing sound to her voice it is the only music that I will play that calms me down enough to allow medicines to work thank you for your beautiful music and your talent we miss you today and always Karen
I'm listening to this album and recalling all the good old days when Karen was my favorite singer with the golden voice. She sang with such passion and made every song special and unforgettable. She left us too early ....but her songs continue to live on in those of us who grew up singing along with her then. May she sing on with the angels above and smile whenever anyone of her fans here play her songs....
Tengo 83 años y los escucho desde que empezaron y no me canso de disfrutarlos nunca habrá nadie ni parecidos a este fantástico grupo vivo en Mexico
Love her, I find her voice extraordinary and soothing
Sad that she died at such a young age
A pox on the " journalist" who called her chubby and was the causation of her anorexia and subsequent death.
Love her, l find her voice exaordinary and
soothing
@@jimmyjoe1591 Unfortunately, he was a horrible person, too. She should have known him longer than a couple of months before marrying him. Hope she's happier now.
She was a Super Nova vocally. A star that burn so bright it's truly blinding but doesn't last long....we are lucky we live in a time where we can enjoy her music even though she is long gone.
Hands down - one of the BEST, PURE voices ever.
Yes you are right, pure voices with so much love in them !!!! 😘😘😘😘xxxxx
Hands down - one the BEST, PURE voices
ever.
I am 58 yrs. Music is so angelic and timeless
i'm 19 years of age and still hooked by this sing
Smart lady, you are! Blessings to you.
Awesome!
shows you have good taste in music. Good for you
SONGS OF THE CARPENTERS WERE OUR FAVORITES ....EVEN NOW IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR ......AMAZING VOICE ..
Mister posman
I still listen to karen' s angelic songs again and again. Especially " Please mister postman " , the song I love.
Me and my brother, me at the age of 10 my brother at the age 11 would sit in the rocking chairs rocking away with the big head phones on singing away, burned out 2 8 track tapes. My brother died in Feb 2020 with leukemia we were very close, I listen to this often I sing loud cry hard and think about us, then SMILE
She sounded just as good “live”, and sometimes even better, than on the recorded albums. Karen Carpenter was amazing.
She and Richard worked very hard to duplicate their recordings in live performances, one of their “pet peeves” being established artists who liked to “experiment” with new versions of their classic hits in concert.
I'm 42 and adore The Carpenters too. Presenting them to my 1 and 5 yo daughters! Their songs bring me peace, happiness and inner calm
Me too, am 73 yrs old but i am still very much in love with their music. Till death....😢
Love you from Vietnam. In my opinion, this is still top of the world on 2020 and always... ☺️
I was born there! Much love and happiness my friend!

Favorite vocalist of all time, she's a legend who we lost to soon. They don't make em like this woman anymore...
I agree, if there's any such thing as perfect pitch, Karen had it!!
I weep for Karen Carpenter, I long to be close to her. She sang my heart ❤️ as a lost little girl. I pray that on the day that all the angels came together, I’ll be close to you. Bless your beautiful soul Karen Carpenter. I I feel your pain girlfriend , I pray to God if he does exist that you are at peace . thank you so much, Rest in peace my beautiful girl
The first time I heard the carpenters, I was on my my way to the grocery store. I heard their song from a neighbor's home. While listening it started to rain. I couldn't move!!! I got drenched!!! LOVE KC!!!!
Carpenters. How have they not built a home in my heart? With songs that tell stories, how could they not tell what my life was way back when I was younger? Really, these siblings are amazing, carving memories which I get to look at when situations seem to drag me down to memory lane!
Thank you for putting these songs together. Thank you for letting me find an abode when life seems perplexed and tiring. Keep doing!😍
I saw them in concert in the early 70s when I was 4 or 5 years old. It made a HUGE impression on me and her songs are embedded in my memory. I kept the ticket stubs and the concert booklet. Her tragic death gave a name to eating disorders so that by the time I was in high school in the early 80s help was available. It saved the life of one of my friends. As an adult the purity of her voice amazes me. A great talent taken too soon!
What I love is that you canhear her smile in her vocals. Karen was one of a kind, and a damn good drummer!
Ho 67 anni e la musica dei Carpenter ha il dono di riportarmi indietro negli anni, quelli.della mia giovinezza, che sono stati i più belli della mia vita
Mi commuovo al solo pensarci
Sono andati via troppo in fretta, ma il ricordo e' dolce e struggente, merito di questa voce divina
can we trade a solid 75% of todays singers to get Karen back?
I love you Karen Carpenter. I'm 60 now and you have always been my favourite. You are beautiful and extremely talented and this world would have been so much better if you were still with us.
The carpenters are my favorite singer when I’m in the Phil.thanks to TH-cam for having it
My all time favorite brother and sister duo... I binge listening today ❤️
I've been listening to her music forever. I love her voice.
Me too; I’m fifty and I’ve been listening to them since I was in my early teens. Love them!!!
l've been listening to her music forever. l
love her voice.
Amen Joyce....her voice was a gift from God for all mankind...
She was the Best!!!!!
Most of these I listened to on 45. But I have a Reel-to-reel of her that is magical. RCA music club had reel-to-reels in the 80's for people with high end hifi systems. One of them I ordered is now very rare, it is 4-track. But the most rarest I have is not of the Carpenters. It's a Thin Lizzy that is not only 4-track, it's 4-track surround sound. So you place the speakers around you. When you hear the car racing in "boys are back in town", it drives around you 360 degrees.
This was “our song” when I was a freshman in college back in ‘70-‘71 with my first serious relationship. Karen’s voice is smooth as silk.
I echo that..
I have such fond memories of growing up singing these songs with my mom and my grandpa. On holidays we would plug in the reel to reel , attach a mic and sing together to all the Carpenter‘s biggest hits. Karen’s voice is soothing to the soul even today. May she rest in peace with Jesus forever. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Lo mejor
I can't believe that Sing a Song is not included, that is one of their quintessential songs.
My middle school sang this song at the Richmond Coliseum. It was a special moment.
Amazing voice , perfect diction , I love her songs !
Old but Gold ✨
Who's still listening in year 2022.
Me 2024 ❤
Me in 2024, too😊
Her wonderful alto voice. I used to sing harmonies cuz I'm a soprano 1. I tear up.when I hear these songs
It’s a little hard to do her lower register, when you are a soprano- I know , I’ve tried . It’s terribly “ uncomfortable “ to lower an octave when you’re a true soprano.

There's nothing wrong with being emotional listing to the carpenters I'm in my late seventies and the same as you a waste of a good singer when she died have you seen the life story very touching
I experience so much enjoyment listening to all of these fantastic songs, sung by Karen Carpenter, which makes me grin & smile from ear to ear!
I listened their songs thousand times, long time ago. We had tape! Amazing voice and songs, that are forever part of me. 💗
Listening now Covid 19..Mecq again NCR😭what a relaxing music into my ear..to deeply breath and pray to finish this pandemic🙏
Hello Mariane, How are you doing?
My friend Krista introduced me to the carpenters. Thank you for introducing me to this angelic voice.
My father was always played Carpenters's tape in his car... 30 years later, I listen to their music in my car by streaming
I learned to type to the rythum of Close To You..me and twenty other tenth graders.
Hermosas canciones
ⁿl
I still have the tape..and I'm 35 years old. I bought the tape and the vinyl type. I am a super fan. 😊
me to, its so comforting, i know i will see them again some day soon, Karen carpenter had one of the best voices 😢😢
This is the most wonderful voice I have ever heard and her musical ear and the ability to sing in perfect tune is more than amazing. I always compare her voice with a perfect sound made by some electronic means or something. It's just beyond belief. The whole world lost so much with her passing the probably most people don't realize it.
The Carpenters were formational in my childhood happiness. My heart aches at the memory of her passing. Karen was beautiful inside and out. I wish she knew it too.
Mistress of tones,can't beat the carpenters for relaxing
I'm an avid fan of The Carpenter's songs. I've been waiting for them to perform in the Philippines but it never materialized until Karen died. It's sad😪😔😭 Karen's got a very unique clear singing voice.👍
I would play The Carpenters Album after My Kids went to Sleep. Now My Daughter. Who's,. 48 years old. Knows every word to these songs. She learned them in her Sleep
I also am an old lady who loved their SONGS & MUSIC !!! My oldest son is much older & so am I...but this was from my era. Great songs, great harmony of voices, and great lyrics !!! CLASSIC
YESTERDAY ONE MORE
When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
Thank's for sharing lirycs.
Why is it not possible for someone to make music like this anymore?
Because those voices are rare.
Karen's voice was unique!❤
Everything is Fake and Digital now days!
This was extreme talent!
Not electronically generated!!!
It is possible love… they just choose not to♥️
You don't want to know the truth.
Her rendition of Solitaire will always bring tears to my old eyes. Karen R.I.P.
I miss my Papa. That was the last playlist he played and sang with my Nephew before he passed away. 😪
❤
I’m 71 now and I’ve always loved the Carpenters still listen to them on my cds ❤
A 40 piece back-up orchestra? Insane. Now I know where all the great sounds come from.
Omg I lov this. The Carpenters are the best always. Thanku.xx
Siempre me pregunto ¿ Por qué hoy no hay cantantes como éstos? Donde la música era un agrado.
¡Que voz más hermosa!
I'm 63 I love her music back then and I well always she was a super star
His arrangements were perfect for her beautiful delivery. I miss them.
Así es, nada no hay nada que se parezca siquiera, yo creo que los seres humanos de las generaciones pasadas, éramos mejores seres humanos dónde respetabamos, fueron generaciones con mucha educación y se fomentaban los valores en la mayoría de los hogares. Yo me siento muy orgullosa de mi generación actualmente tengo 69 años.
@@georginalopez3617 espera, ¿lo dices en serio? Déjame reírme más fuerte.
Hay música buenísima en la actualidad, sólo es cuestión de salirse del prejuicio de que todo lo actual es basura y buscar un poco (a decir verdad todas las generaciones lo son. Sin ir más lejos, toda la música de antes a mí me suena igual y las letras suelen hablar casi de lo mismo tal cual como sucede ahora).
@@georginalopez3617 Tiene toda la razón. Tengo 40 años y lo notaba de pequeña, esos valores y educación que había y que nos inculcaban. Ahora veo la sociedad que me ha tocado vivir y me da pena. Su generación maravillosa.
Still listening in 2020 I listen to the carpenters regularly In my opinion the best voice ever unlike most of today's performers an auto tune mic was not required, Karen's voice is like velvet sadly missed since 1983 god bless you Karen xx
