No autotune, no lip synching. The only special effect was her immense talent. She was also an excellent drummer and often played on their studio recordings. Truly an immense talent gone too soon. What a voice…
What everyone who is now so used to engineered auto tuned vocals needs to remember, this is a recording of a live performance with 50+ year old recording mics and technology and she still sounds like that. She generally only needed one take to record a song too. It was a truly natural singing talent that very few ever possess. One of my favorites has always been For All We Know, and as her brother Richard said, the money is in the basement, meaning her lower register and that song is very much her lower register and just beautiful.
Karen Carpenter was perhaps a once in a generation musical talent. I've always loved her voice and the Carpenter's music in general. Her brother Richard was a piano prodigy and his arrangements complimented Karen's voice perfectly. Karen was also an extremely talented drummer and she often referred to herself as "merely" a drummer who sang. I am so glad that young TH-camrs are finding and cherishing this phenomenal woman's talent so many years after we tragically lost her so soon and far before her time. I saw a video in which a guy used software to scientifically measure her vocals 'live' versus 'in studio' and he found that she was not only on pitch and pitch perfect every time but often, her live performances were actually better than the studio version of the same song. How many artists can make that claim today?
I could not have said it ANY BETTER than the post here. May her voice and music reign forever.
Haunting voice.
Indeed
They didn't call her one take Karen for nothing
Karen’s voice is so hauntingly beautiful. Knowing what she was going through makes the songs even more heartbreaking to listen to.
Karen’s voice is just so warm & beautiful & this song really tugs at my heart strings & the tears just start to flow. KC is the only singer that can do this to me & she was also an incredible drummer. RIP KC
Just remember no electronics, no Auto tune, no mumbo jumbo, what you have is PURE talent, from a fantastic drummer, voice of an angel, sadly missed, died way too young.
Karen's voice is so beautiful, rich and pure, you instantly recognize her sound. The arrangements are brilliantly crafted by her brother Richard. This isn't my favorite Carpenters song, but the quality is still undeniable.
Listen to it a few more times and just concentrate on her vocals, then try and find anyone who can compare. She truly is the GOAT female vocalist. ❤
She's singing this live too. The microphone loved Karen Carpenter.
Our ears too. Hearing Karen sing is the greatest audio experience ever.
Karen Carpenters vocals were unlike any other… velvety yet so crisp and perfectly executed. I remember as a little girl sitting in the kitchen eating my breakfast before heading to the bus stop The Carpenters playing on the radio… or on the car radio. Her voice takes me back ♥♥♥
Her dynamics are impeccable. Her range is astonishing...the highness are crisp and clear without sliding or reaching, the deep note are rich and warm. How can she be gone so soon?
If you haven’t seen Karen play drums, you need to check it out. Many big time drummers respected her talent.
There was a year,I can't remember which,but she was voted best drummer by some of the top drummers of the day.Yes,you need to check out the TH-cam clips of her playing drums.
@@andrewmccormack4295 Simps???
IF you care for drums. I don't.
Glad people haven't forgot about Karen Carpenter and how beautiful her voice was. She was a true alto, which you don't hear much of anymore.
This video shows she is still living on through new generations.
The French horn at the beginning is haunting.
Recorded in one take, reading the lyrics off a napkin and 21 years old! OTHERWORLDLY! "Superstar" reached #2 on the charts in 1971.... It has been recorded by a number of people over the years, with Luther Vandross the most recently and successful version besides the Carpenters. However, the writers of the song and Vandross himself, said the perfect best version was the Carpenters.
Thank you for your reaction. Her voice is angelic! RIP Karen.
She started out playing the drums with her brother and really could play, but when she started to sing it blew everyone's mind so haunting, just Beautiful..
She sings without any effort, like an angel.
Karen is the greatest IMHO. Just draws you in, grabs you, makes you cry and sings past your heart to your soul. They claimed 17 consecutive top 40 hits and three Grammy Award wins between 1970 and 1976, and a total of 27 Hot 100 hits, the second-most of any duo in Billboard chart history. Superstar is one of many top hits. Overall had 15 #1's on the adult contemporary charts in 14 years if you think about it is unbelievable. If you get a couple your doing great. They were a force to recon with.
In 1972, I went to the Detroit State Fair & the Carpenters were there, and I was mesmerized by her voice, angelic to say the least, and she was playing the drums.
They called her one take Karen because she was always on key and got it right the first time. And was also an incredibly talented drummer
INCREDIBLY TALENTED DRUMMER ?? Good maybe. cheers
@@morganclare4704 She had a rare and incredible talent.
The most amazing singer I've ever heard. At 2:15 she's looking upwards in the chorus, as if singing to that Star on stage. She does in again in 2nd chorus; just amazing. In addition to her endless vocal accolades, her emotional impact is beyond this World!
I love anything Carpenters..
me too!..
Karen had the voice of an angel. She was taken from us way too soon.
Everything they sang was a hit.... The Carpenters were HUGE.
you need to hear her sing Yesterday Once More...its my favorite by far....wonderful song and beautiful voice ...give it a listen please :)
I'll check it out!
This was a live version done for the BBC , you will be hard pressed to find any differences to the studio version. One thing you could always count on in a Carpenters song……that you would hear and feel every word and notes of the song.
And that was the live version, listen to the production version and it's truly Angelic, Her brother Was one of the first if not the first to use tracking, laying one track over another, so when you hear the deep multi voice vocals, it's her and his voice on multiple tracks . Something that became common after they started it.
This is my favorite Carpenter's song. Originally called The Groupie Song and written by Leon Russel and Bonnie Bramlett, this song was covered by many artists but this became the definitive version.
Leon Russell is another artist to dive into.
My favourite too.
Glad you are doing more songs from The Carpenters. Karen had one of the most beautiful voices. Some other songs are "Rainy Days & Mondays", "Close To You", "For All We Know", "Goodbye To Love", "Top Of The World", "Sing", "Yesterday Once More", "I Won't Last A Day Without You", "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday", "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over the World)" & so many more.
You inadvertantly missed Calling occupant of interplanetary craft. If they hear that voice, they'll be here shortly
Karen Carpenter the sweet drumer
Watching your face I saw at first a doubting man who does not want to be hurt again. As the song developed your face changed. You realized you were witnessing something special and you appreciated the artwork. Keep doing this. It will be good for your soul.
Her brother was a genius at arranging songs to fit her voice. All of the harmonies were just her and her brother. He knew exactly what instruments would work best with each song. It was never just nice music to go along with a beautiful voice! Every song was perfectly synchronized from beginning to end. Great review! Thank you!
Yep he could have easily been Burt Bacharach. Not far off anyway. Certainly close in terms of Top 10 hits but cant say for certain.
I love it when young people rediscover old classics like this and realise we did actually have great taste back then. :o)
Wonderful! Please continue to react to Carpenters songs, because there are many. Karen was only with us for a short time, but she certainly could touch deeply inside of us with her music. Her brother, Richard is still doing music as of today. Karen Ann Carpenter: March 02, 1950 - February 04, 1983. We miss you, Karen😓
She considered herself a drummer who also sang. She had the most clear, perfect vocals. We lost her way too young. Hope you're RIP, Karen. You deserve it.
à la Phil Collins
☮️💙💙💙rest Karen!
No screaming or yelling or belting it out...just singing and she was the best at it...bar none!
When you're in the presence of such a once in a lifetime talent as Karen Carpenter it's often a humbling experience. She sang this tune live and without today's computer tuning and manipulations and was absolutely perfection personified.
Real music no fake auto tune voices like today
A song with a lot of emotion that stirs the senses.
No studio tricks just pure talent.... Luther was the only other singer that can do this song justice
Listen to “Rainy days and Mondays” ❤
Just Beautiful!!
The GOAT!! There is no one like Karen. Gone waay too soon. RIP Karen.❤
I love to see people react to the music of only a few decades ago. I also feel sort of sad in a way, that kids growing up didn't have the chance to engage and learn from with such a diverse range of styles and genre's from all era's, that those born after the early 2000's missed out on. Not only that, I have seen a lot more 'reaction' video's being recommended now than I have in the past. It's always nice to watch people smile when they hear a classic song for the first time!
New Sub here from the UK 👍
You need to check out Christopher Cross “Sailing”. If you are digging this, you would enjoy that for sure! Some others, Hall and Oats “Sara Smile”, Styx “Sailing”.
One of the most awesomely beautiful sounds in the whole freakin' universe: Karen Carpenter singing a song. Any song.
Karen Carpenter was incomparable. 🌹
She was also the drummer of the Carpenters.
I've watched you again on a few of them. And I'm watching it now. On this one, you you see with your ears. I don't know what it is about you, but you get the meaning you get the tones and? I don't know.I think there's sonothing about your eyes on your hearing and I wanna say God bless.Thank you for reacting to beautiful music.Love and respect from canada god bless
If honey could sing it would sound like Karen Carpenter.
Haunting and yet beautiful.
This song was huge and became a sort of anthem to soldiers who left their loved ones behind when they went to war
Your trip down the Carpenters rabbit hole wouldn't be complete without reacting to Rainy Days And Mondays.
She plays the drums in this song too.
The pyre voice of an angel!
❤️❤️❤️
She had a voice that was one in a million.
thanks, Mug! Karen was awesome in everything..
As a Gen Xer who grew up listening to this music from my mom's love of the Carpenters, I find it so wonderful that younger generations also appreciate Karen and her amazing voice. If you ever get the chance, read the book, Karen Carpenter Little Girl Blue. It really delves deep into how Karen and Richard paved the way for this genre of music.
What a beautiful voice!
❤💛🧡💙💚💜🖤❤
Love this song! Luther Vandross did a cover on this song...check it out!
They had many hits. This was one.
Voice of an angel.
She recorded this reading for the first time the lyrics from a napkin… she was a real talent… and only 21 yo! RIP ❤️
Pure Gold.......still to this day.....miss her.
I was luvky to have grown up with the Caroenters music akways on the radio
There are many great singers but few have a voice as deep and rich as Karen Carpenter. So sad that she was taken far too young.
Voice of an Angel 👼
Yes this was a BIG hit single. Karen and Dionne Warwick were friends...they were on the same record label...A & M records...yes, there a more babies in this sound than a maternity ward lol.
Hope you'll react to their "This Masquerade" and "Solitaire." Thank you for your great reactions! Really love your channel!
This was a massive hit for them. Other hits are we’ve only just begun, close to you, top of the world, goodbye to love, yesterday once more, rainy days and mondays, only yesterday and please mr postman. I usually also recommend checking out the song Now as well it was her final recording.
She has some disco music as well from she tried to go solo (she worked with a lot of the same writers who did off the wall for Michael Jackson and actually turned down rock with you) one of the better songs is called my body keeps changing my mind.
Great reaction! This is the live version that is missing a lot of the background vocals.
Please check out her drumming as well Karen felt she was actually a better drummer than a singer and clearly was happiest drumming, Unfortunately she was eventually forced to stop drumming (she drummed and sang at the same time and the management felt the audience couldn’t see her well enough). It’s been argued in some documentaries that not being behind the drum kit caused her to be more focused on her weight. If you want to learn more about them there are several fantastic documentaries (only yesterday, the vh1 behind the music) on TH-cam and a great tv movie also on TH-cam.
Excellent choice. You're looking at maybe the best Contralto of this era. No hyperbole here. Just a great voice under the radar, just now being recognized.
I feel for you dude. You know and appreciate good music. You missed the music era from the late 60's to early 90's when the pop, rock, R&B and Detroit sound ruled the air waves like you cannot imagine. The music world today is a desert like the Sahara compared to then. You can still find it, but it only exists on tape and vinyl.
Beautiful voice
Amazing cover of a Delaney and Bonnie classic.
"Angelic." Right on, friend.
Still have An album of the carpenters, such a beautiful voice and can still be heard on TV advertising today. Such a loss.
Its so sexy how she emphasizes Baby baby baby your baby.
She had an amazing voice. RIP Karen
I was lucky enough to see them in concert a long long time ago...sigh.
Another great reaction! Thanks for giving Janis the attention she deserves. You are right about Janis being an even greater legend if she lived. I lost two of my favorite artists when they were both passed away at the age of 27, Janis and Jimi Hendrix. Highly recommend you check out her cover of "Summertime", either the studio version or the 1969 live Amsterdam version. Also "Maybe", live or studio version. Plus "Work Me Lord" live in Amsterdam, in 1969. She will take you to church on that song. Lastly, "Try" (Just a Little Bit Harder), a great funk song.
If you really want to hear what that voice can do, then there are just TWO songs you MUST listen to, Solitaire, and Ticket to ride. On a side note, Richard (her brother and the arranger for all her songs) told her not to worry about her voice, (that she didn't like!!!!), he said "The basement is where the money is", Boy was he RIGHT!!
Her voice is classified as contralto, rare in popular music. One interesting fact. She died as a result of anorexia so became one of the earliest well known person to do so. In fact, the condition had not had much exposure until her death.
If you want to hear a lot of "baby/babe" you should listen to Led Zeppelin's soulful/bluesy "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You." You definitely won't be sorry.
She plays drums too.😊
Man, old memories of my 1973 Greatest Hits album. This live version has slight nuances of difference...because ...live
Greatest female voice ever bar none !
Luther Vandross had a huge hit with this song several years later.
Karen's recording was 1971. Luther's was 1983. Bramlett and Leon Russell wrote it in 1969.
Karen Carpenter is one of the greatest female vocalist of all time. She was a fantastic drummer as well. Richard Carpenter was great pianist and he arranged all their songs. They both complemented each other perfectly. I saw them in concert in 1973 in Louisiana which is about 50 years ago this year. The song Superstar originally called Groupie Song and was recorded by Delaney and Bonnie in 1969. Writing credits for the song are Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.
You should hear the studio version!
There will never be another Karen! This is one of their hit singles and i have enjoyed them countless times since i grew up with them. Its been recorded by many others, but like most of their nsongs they made it theirb own. I really enjoy reactions when people first hear the Capenters. Especially young folks of today. Usually, people are then fans for life. I first heard them sing Rainy Days and Mondays when it first played on radio and i about 11. Even though i was only a kid, the voice really filled my heart with real love. There are a lot of groups that came out with great music back then. However, it was like she was singing directly to me. Soon the world also discovered them.
Karen Carpenter the GOAT of pure vocals
That’s perfect pitch right there
enjoyed that so much. god tier musical content. so glad I came across this video. 🤘
Great to see younger people discovering The Carpenters. You get it. They don’t make music like this anymore.
Hi Mugnify. Again, nice reaction. (Commented on your reaction to A Song For You as well. Thought I'd frovide same here since this is more recent. : ) I believe her 1971 video of ths song, in her dk red dress, is even better. Did you know every female harmony in all of her songs was hers as well, sang, then dubbed into the song by Richard ? Im on my late 60s (a bass), so remember Carpenters 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 3+ octave voice was discovered by Herb Alpert, A&M Records, 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". They were most successful in early/mid1970s when she/they received 4 grammys. She was also recognized by 1975 Playboy poll as rock drummer of the year. Check other songs such as 'Solitaire', 'Only Yesterday', 'Hideaway', 'Rainy Days and Mondays',' 'This Masquerade', 'I Can Dream Cant I'(a big band era song), 'Hurting Each Other', 'Need To Be In Love', 'Goodbye To Love', etc.. She had a few friends including Petula Clark, Olivia Newton John and Dionne Warwick. She had anorexia with a serious onset in 1975 that continued the rest of her life. Married a guy in 1982 that was broke, didn't tell her he had a vasectomy, 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"].
They called her one take Karen.. walk in the studio sing it peefectly and walk out. She considered herself a drummer that could sing
God given talent, we lost her 40 years ago. I have loved music most of my life, still never heard anyone that can compare to Karen, maybe Alison Krauss on her best day.
If only natural, raw talent was valued today. And modesty was valued
dufess listens to music , wow.
