Do you realize you are doing exactly what Karen was singing about? She was singing about appreciating older music and that's exactly what you are doing! Karen would be very proud of you indeed! "Every sha-la-la-la, Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines..."
The song is specifically about how the music she grew up with brings her back to her memories of her earlier life, just as when I listen to music I loved in college instantly brings me back to those days. Listening to older music before one’s time is different.
I totally agree!! Not having them in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is just wrong, and casts doubt on the credibility of the selection process in my opinion. They should just have their own Carpenters Hall of Fame, they’ve sold enough records and have enough fans.
If James Taylor is in the R&R Hall of Fame, these two should be also. They have brought to the American culture classic songs of remembrance. They won in 1970 an award as trend setters. They set the stage for the softer sound of the early 1970's and were the best selling American group between 1970 and 1980.
The Carpenters used to jam in my grandparents garage with my uncle. My mom was 12 and Richard would give her piano lessons. This was before they got famous. This would have been around 1965 - 1968.
Kimberly Tucker . That is so awesome. I met Richard Carpenter once in the 1980s when I was a teen working at a local clothing store in Downey CA where they lived. He was shopping. I told him I was a big fan. He’s a very friendly person.
He was obviously inspired by his sister's more sinister ride in the band and family, and he fed her pills and her family was extremely Christian and controlling her.
@Larry Mead: IKR, That’s Exactly, that’s what I’m screaming!!??? Lol What is he talking about?! I never heard anything about drugs, she had an eating disorder, anorexia which is sad, she wasnt overweight but the media put that into her head starting with a magazine article calling her “chubby”, which shows how powerful words can be and effect ppl. When she tried to later recover from the disease, it over taxed her body and heart causing a heart attack resulting in her death, I’ve never known of drug problems or her brother “feeding her pills”. I wasn’t there, but that’s just hard to believe! From what I gathered over the many years of my life is they were really close siblings, I think maybe she felt her mother praised her brother’s talents above hers, but I’m curious as to where that comment was coming from too! My mom has some hand written letters from The Carpenters regarding music, that’s another story, but they were and r still my moms #1! I’m not an expert on their lives or music but I know it pretty well, Juss sayin. Also at first she just wanted to play the drums and kinda fade into the back, she didn’t wanna be the main attention, can u imagine that!?
The female "backup" singers that you're hearing are all Karen Carpenter overdubbing herself. She was one of the very first innovators of that technique, and was incredible with it.
My favorite female singer of all time. And I'm 72 and have heard many ladies sing during my lifetime. Her voice is GOLD she will live on in my heart forever. RIP Ms. Karen Carpenter.🌹😢
“It’s old but gold.” This music never gets old cause when it’s gold it lives forever. The purity and tonal quality of her voice will probably never be heard again. You know when a singer is brilliant cause there’s no need to shout out the lyrics, you can just stand there and sing and people are awed.
Her voice was amazing in the 70s, and it's still the best female voice I've ever heard. She relaxes me. And, for the record, Neil Diamond is my favorite male voice of all time.
No matter how many times I hear her singing, I get goosebumps and teary-eyed. Beautiful voice and totally distinguishable !! Richard, her brother, is her backup but she also does back up as well.
Im on my late 60s, so remember KC very well on the radio and TV specials. She began, with her brother Richard, by playing drums. Richard, her brother, was a terrific arranger but KC's voice was discovered by Herb Alpert in 1969 which began their road to fame. Richard convinced her that her best singing voice was contralto, 'the money is in the basement'. I believe KC's, voice, especially contralto, was the best female voice ever. No auto-tune, stripping, gimmicks, or screaming. Her nickname was 'one take', since she always sang a song once in studio without a single re-take. She sang to you with mesmerizing emotion, perfect pitch and enunciation. Her voice compelled you to listen. She had no professional voice training. Paul McCartney said she sang Ticket To Ride better than the Beatles, and "she had the most angelic voice I have ever heard". John Lennon told her at an LA restaurant "you have a fabulous voice luv". EVERY female harmony in ALL of her songs was HERs as well, sang, then dubbed into the song by Richard. They were most successful in early/mid1970s when she received 4 grammys. She was also recognized by 1975 Playboy poll as rock drummer of the year. She never knew true love, nor how good she really was. Check other songs such as 'Superstar' 'Solitaire', 'Only Yesterday', 'Hideaway', 'Rainy Days and Mondays','I Can Dream Cant I', 'Hurting Each Other', 'Need To Be In Love', 'Goodbye To Love', 'Someday', etc.. She had low self-image, and could never seem to please her mother. She had a few friends including Petula Clark and Dionne Warwick. She had serious onset of anorexia in 1975 that continued the rest of her life. Married a guy in 1982 that was broke, not who she thought, and mistreated her. Never knew true love. She died Feb 1983 at 32yo due to complications from anorexia. [Some info contained herein came from documentaries such as, "Only Yesterday]"
I'm glad you like The Carpenters! I enjoy watching your reaction when Karen's silky vocals hit that groove in your soul. Many of the vocals are 'double-tracked' and she and Richard sing their own harmonies. W-O-R-D!
This brought literal tears to my eyes because this was the first album I ever memorized at the tender age of 8 and just to know her songs are still being listened to 30 years later just gets me in AP the feels. ❤️ Thank you to whoever first introduced you to her.
She died in the same year I was born 1983, 37 years ago. My dad has all the Carpenters vinyl records from the 1970s which he used to play on his turntable, me and my sis both love the Carpenters. its great to see youngsters like yourself are into the Carpenters.. Keep it up guys! all the best from Britain (England) :)
You likely heard by now but they are a brother and sister duo. She was the genius of the vocals and drums and he with composing and mixing the sounds. He was way ahead of his time with the technology he incorporated into creating their beautiful music. Definitely old but gold - love that saying!
Karen's voice was so perfect. If you want to listen to more Carpenters songs, I recommend "Bless the Beasts and the Children", "A song for you", and "I Won't Last a Day Without You".
This song takes me back to my childhood and my Grandfather. I dedicated this song to him for all the great memories we had. As you said, this is PURE GOLD! Karen had the perfect voice! The harmony is outstanding!!! ❤️
If I hadn't seen your "reactions" before, I would almost have thought you didn't like this song (first few seconds). I know better now ☺. I 💙 you & your brother for being so open-minded when it comes to music! Stay gold! 👍
I gotta tell you, I've been terribly depressed over some things, as of late, and you two have gotten me to smile and enjoy breathing, singing all those songs I loved so long ago. I know ALL the lyrics. It was a better time for me. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO much.
Your beginning facial expressions almost looked like disgust or pain. I'm so glad I misinterpreted them! Her voice is heavenly and her brother's composition and arrangement are superior, too. He wrote the song with lyricist John Bettis, played keyboards and sang harmonies. A LOT of talent in this family!!
This is my all-time favorite Carpenters song! There aren't many voices like Karen Carpenter's, that's for sure. The way she sings the line "when they get to the part, where he's breaking her heart, it can really make me cry" makes ME want to cry. So gorgeous.
It's amazing how all the words come back. Loved the Carpenters. Captain and Tenille were also really good from the same era. They are husband and wife. This is music from junior high for me so first dances and happier more innocent times. Thanks for the memories!
I’ve watched more of these videos than I should admit today. This is the TH-cam channel that I never even knew I desperately needed. Your appreciation & appetite for music is an amazing gift - so grateful you are sharing it.
Karen was so super talented, as was her amazing brother, who was a great musician, composer, arranger with great vocals too. All those fantastic harmonies. Check her out on the drums. She always said ‘I’m a drummer who sings.’ Phenomenal! R.I.P💜😥🙏🏿 th-cam.com/video/sdHyzGXAJPg/w-d-xo.html
You are a romantic at heart, you have a good ear, you can get a free piano and learn "Georgia" in a few weeks, then you're on your way. Even if you want to be a drummer like Karen, all musicians should know piano. BTW, that's Karens' brother Richard, the piano player. How about checking Joni Mitchell doing "Woodstock" live in studio 1970. Keep the faith, son.
The man beside her, is the Brain behind her sound, her brother, Richard! They're called The Carpenters, to include the both of them! Karen is the Voice, and Richard is the music! The instruments, the arrangement, the production, the writing, all of that is Richard! He's classically trained!
That's her brother. He is the genius behind knowing how good she was. Those back up vocals you love, those arrangements, they are all her brother's doing. He's an amazing producer. Did you do "Rainy Days and Mondays"? YOU HAVE TO HEAR THAT SONG!!! It will break your heart.
Such a pure, unedited voice. A moment in time caught on vinyl. Love your honest reactions and appreciation for music of all era's and genre's. You and Fred are gems in this world. So refreshing & kind. Thank you for shinning.
My friend, I'm way older than you and this song is my youth. I'm so happy that a young caring and loving guy like you appreciate Karen Carpenter and her music. Her voice is almost miraculous. May I tell you something. It takes an old soul to feel another one and receive all that she has learned through her life may has it been a short one. My friend, you have this soul and so many others. It shows even through a computer screen. Thank you for the respect for all souls that came before your wonderful one.
She's amazing. It's just straight gold. You got it. She was pure gold and he is a musical genius. The world will never see the like of her voice again. Pure gold.
Her brothe (Richard Carpenter)r who is with her was in the background most of the time, was a musical genius. He tried things that had never been tried (musically)
This is one of my favorite songs. Karen was amazing. I remember being in the car as a very little girl (1972ish?) and her music being on the radio. It’s old but gold!! Love it!! Xoxoxo 👑
Old but Gold, that was her brother. When Karen died we were all in shock. Back in the day! She had a good voice. Our respect to you for liking our music back in the day. Joan and Keith Bates
I was just a kid when theses songs came out brings a lot of happy memories I really love that you guys listen to these old tunes I love that you love the carpenters too her voice is timeless
Her beautiful voice just grabs you, so relaxing and pure. The other part of the team is her brother Richard. Love your reviews and comments. Sometime pull up, Al Wilson.doing SHOW AND TELL and AL STEWART performing, THE YEAR OF THE CAT.
Dude, I love u man. I have the biggest crush on you. I'd love to take u out for a beer. I love The Carpenters. In the beginning you getting quite emotional was sweet. Thanks for the great reactions and being REAL. Peace man.
I loooooove The Carpenters. Richard was a pioneer in the music industry with the whole layering technique they used here. And though it’s not in this song, you know your group is amazing when you basically have Herb Alpert on retainer for your trumpets 🤪
The carpenters was the first album I bought as a 12/13 year old on LP in the early 90’s. Love Rainy Days and Mondays, This Masquerade, We’ve only just begun and Where do I go from here. I remember convincing my friends in the last year of Primary school (must have been 11/12) to sing Top of the World as part of our end of year play to the rest of the school and parents. This was back when I thought I could sing, and had no shame about the fact I actually couldn’t 😂
Karen was a drummer first, she wanted it that way. But her voice was brilliant and her brother who was the force behind music writing and composition, put her in front singing. And that's history, she had an angels voice that could touch the human heart with expression. Her brother was the strength and much talent behind both of the Carpenters💜
A Tupac poster, a Rolling Stones t-shirt and a reaction to The Carpenters. This kid is the king of eclectic !
Love that so much about him.
pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Reyansh Trey Yea, I've been using flixzone for months myself :D
Do you realize you are doing exactly what Karen was singing about? She was singing about appreciating older music and that's exactly what you are doing! Karen would be very proud of you indeed! "Every sha-la-la-la,

Carpenters should be in Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame! Period
I totally agree!! Not having them in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is just wrong, and casts doubt on the credibility of the selection process in my opinion. They should just have their own Carpenters Hall of Fame, they’ve sold enough records and have enough fans.
She definitely should, especially since there is already other music in there that wouldn't technically be classified as rock.
Time for a public campaign! This is simply wrong and must be corrected!
I agree they should be in a hall of fame they were amazing but can they really be classed as rock'n'roll
If James Taylor is in the R&R Hall of Fame, these two should be also. They have brought to the American culture classic songs of remembrance. They won in 1970 an award as trend setters. They set the stage for the softer sound of the early 1970's and were the best selling American group between 1970 and 1980.

Kris Moodley same!
That is so cool!!!!! I was born in the late 60s and grew up listening to the Carpenters in the 70s! Love the 70s music. Best ever!!
Kimberly, what was your grandparents names and who was your uncle? What a great experience it would have been to see that jam session.
Thats really cool
Kimberly Tucker . That is so awesome. I met Richard Carpenter once in the 1980s when I was a teen working at a local clothing store in Downey CA where they lived. He was shopping. I told him I was a big fan. He’s a very friendly person.
Richard Carpenter is her brother. He wrote many of their songs and arranged all of them. He is highly respected throughout the Music Industry.
Yep. He also did some of the backup vocals for their music and played the piano and other instruments for them.
And according to Jay Leno one of the finest private car collections in the world.
He was obviously inspired by his sister's more sinister ride in the band and family, and he fed her pills and her family was extremely Christian and controlling her.

Phil Spector invented that over-dubbing technique. It was called The Wall of Sound.
@@cathyaudette1060 Awesome!!!
@@cathyaudette1060 , I thought he was the inventor bu wasn't sure. Thanks!
Fun Fact! This song is 47 years old, and still being listened to. Still relevant!
Karen`s voice is timelessand and unic
My favorite female singer of all time. And I'm 72 and have heard many ladies sing during my lifetime.
Her voice is GOLD she will live on in my heart forever. RIP Ms. Karen Carpenter.🌹😢
Did anyone else start tearing up at the beginning of the song. That music still really hits you even after all these years.
I tear up every time I hear this song. I grew up listening to the Carpenters. I was only 17 when Karen left us. She is Yesterday Once More, Forever.
Her voice is like pearls dropping on crystal glass; her song message is like whisper touching our hearts.
“It’s old but gold.” This music never gets old cause when it’s gold it lives forever. The purity and tonal quality of her voice will probably never be heard again.

Just beautiful.
No matter how many times I hear her singing, I get goosebumps and teary-eyed. Beautiful voice and totally distinguishable !! Richard, her brother, is her backup but she also does back up as well.
all the oldies but goodies. Her death was such a tragedy.
The fact that he’s wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt when a few months ago he thought they were a movie producer 😂
"Looking back....it's rather sad....so much has changed..." I think we could all cry to that line.
Mate. You've made my sunday morning love from sunny England x
The Carpenters were my guilty pleasure as a kid. Her voice is perfect. Love your reviews 🇬🇧
Her voice will haunt you forever. Her brother's backing vocals are very good. First heard them in 1969, age 7.
Her voice was so beautiful!! So sad she died so young.
Her brother Richard! They wrote songs he is still in the business & writes & produces music He is brilliant!
Yep, he chose and arranged all of their music.
I'm not crying, you're crying! LOL. Isn't she beautiful?

I can't say how precious I think this is that he loves these songs. Karen was one of my favorites when I was younger too.
Pure smoothness, pure silk, pure greatness, and pure talent. That's Karen.
i LOOOVE seeing your reaction to any Karen Carpenter song.. dude! She had PERFECT PITCH!!!! Ridiculous
I'm glad you like The Carpenters!
I enjoy watching your reaction when Karen's silky vocals hit that groove in your soul. Many of the vocals are 'double-tracked' and she and Richard sing their own harmonies.

I'm a child of the 60's. One of my favorite group of all time!
Fact…she was flawless and got everything done in one take! Also, did you know she was the drummer, too!
The man in the pictures is her brother. He was the writer and musician.
Sibling voices blend so beautifully
Karen's voice was so perfect. If you want to listen to more Carpenters songs, I recommend "Bless the Beasts and the Children", "A song for you", and "I Won't Last a Day Without You".
I won't last a day without you is beautiful and it reminds me of my brother! We're practically inseparable and we're always there for eachother =)
@ted ritola yeah I kinda hate autotune. It scrubs all the emotion out of the song. It feels so soulless
Yes, dude, "go crazy when the beat dropped." She made the beat, she was the group's summer as well ad lead.
This song takes me back to my childhood and my Grandfather. I dedicated this song to him for all the great memories we had. As you said, this is PURE GOLD! Karen had the perfect voice! The harmony is outstanding!!! ❤️
Love you both! Thanks for appreciating the Carpenters. I listened to them when I was your age! God bless
Well said! “You can’t deny her. It’s just straight gold.”
That man with her is her brothers Richard he’s the other half of The Carpenters
One of my favorites, they were one of the BEST duets of all time.

This was back when I thought I could sing, and had no shame about the fact I actually couldn’t 😂
One of the greatest voices ever!
Another one of my favorite Carpenters songs. Thank you. You're the Best!
I love the Carpenter's.
Ugh this reaction made me so emotional 😭😭😭
She has an awesome voice, so smooth!
Karen was a drummer first, she wanted it that way. But her voice was brilliant and her brother who was the force behind music writing and composition, put her in front singing. And that's history, she had an angels voice that could touch the human heart with expression. Her brother was the strength and much talent behind both of the Carpenters💜
Such talent! You are cracking me up!
