most beautiful voice i have ever heard. what a beautiful lady she was. i always feel crying whenever i remember that she was dead only in32 years age. she sings like she is feeling every word of every song she sung.
@madamerotten Correct. Karen Carpenter with her perfect velvet voice singing the cool elegant songs of Burt Bacharach. Just how good can popular music be? that good.
@tigerarmyrule You may have seen Bacharach's appearance in the Austin Powers movie where he plays this piece on piano with Elvis Costello singing. It is hilarious and amazing. And, yes, I can't say enough good things about Karen Carpenter.
My dad raised me on the Carpenters, I had a cassette tape of them that I played allll the time. Thank god for my amazing father who introduced me to good music at a young age! I'm nineteen now, and I still love The Carpenters <3
Specially the part that says: What do you get when you fall in love??? you only get lies pain and sorrow, so for at least until tomorrow, I'll never fall in love again!
i bought a pirated spice girl 's song compilation. then one of the extra songs is this song but sang in a slower and bitter mood. but cant find it anywhere on the net? is it a solo project by one of them?
The time at Joe Osborn’s studio is where the soft but massive Carpenters’ chorale sound was achieved. It’s done by Richard and Karen building four-part chords and overdubbing them twice, for a total of 12 voice parts. However, for occasional effects they will expand their harmonies up to 13-part chords covering three octaves. With triple overdubs, this gets a total of 39 voices and can be heard most extensively on their “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again. (Billboard, nov. 1973).
Why is it that the most beautiful and good-hearted people die sooner than the scum bags we have polluting the world today? Listening to Karen makes me sad because she was one of those innocent people who was deprived from life.
@mclovin9535 Thats the way it goes Mc,all the good ones seem to go early.The list would be endless.But we have their songs,thats some sort of bonus.Dx
We live in a world where the media just adds fuel to an already burning fire.Randy Schmidt is no different!!! How much substance can there be to an Author who purposely only puts part of Richard Carpenters head on a cover of a book that he has written, and then he states, when you get done reading the book, people will understand. Little Girl Blue is a mere Pamphlet compared to all the Facts that he couldn't get, some things "MUST" stay private Randy, because we know you would print it! GB KC
omg im singing this song in my middle school choir. the original sounds nice!! i'm totally gonna tell my chorus director about this!! btw i'm twelve!11
Its sooooo stupid to compare 2 artists that both lived and lives at different times. You people are a shame and should be ashamed of the stupidity you post in the internet!
For Randy to write LITTLE GIRL BLUE it was a labor of LOVE and he wanted Karen's story to be told...kudos Randy!!! You really captured Karen's story....
Karen Carpenter was an amazing artist. Her talent was appreciated by Burt Bacharach himself. But this song is not The Carpenters best effort. Richard Carpenter's (re)arrangements (especially his instrumental bridges) are sometimes a little too upbeat for the lyrics. Elvis Costello (and Burt) got this one right.
Richard Carpenter would have done a great job performing a song or two at the Royal wedding, however if our own president isen't even invited, well you see what I'm saying. I could see The Carpenters doing We've only just begun, so fitting for a Royal beginning.
Concerning Lady Gaga you are wrong. She is a young woman who writes, performs and sings her songs live. (She is a girl from now, with lots of talent live on piano too). Of course, I do like The Carpenters . Beautiful songs. .... .
@Paul2T Lady Goo Goo never made it big 'til she started dressing like a slut and wearing enough makeup to make a whore jealous. She couldn't make it on talent the way Karen did. As far as musical talent - writing or singing - she has none... especially when compared to Karen - she's not even close to Karen's league. Her name should never be pronounced in the same conversation as Karen.
Why the hell are you comparing Karen to Gaga? They are two completely different singers with their own styles. Yes Karen is amazing but so is Gaga. I just don't see why Gaga is being brought up when she has nothing to do with Karen.
@EmotionIsMyFriend my point was how music of nowadays isn't as good as music from the past, THAT IS MY POINT!!!! Lady Ga Ga isn't going to have the legacy that Karen has. Karen's music is timeless and Lady Ga Ga isn't!
What's Lady Gaga got to with Karen Carpenter?? The two singers are completely different. Gaga is amazing, writes her own music and can pull off certain things that many people can't. Karen is amazing too and has a very sweet and unique voice but I don't see everyone is bringing up Gaga when she's got nothing to do with Karen....
Inolvidablemente ùnicos....especialmente èsta melodìa::: Nostalgia de mi divina juventud....què felicidad:: Què recuerdos !!!...aùn tengo esos acetatos. Grx por compartir tan linda mùsica.!!!
@Innocero Good idea! Who needs Gaga... I fell in love with Karen Carpenter and her heaven sent voice when I bought my first album in 1982, alongside with Enya, she is my favorite singer. Sometimes I wonder how much more she could have sung if she lived longer. I can listen to her voice for hours! And I bet she was much more than a superb artist, I wish I could have had a chance to meet her at least once. She will live in her fans hearts.
All of you people who are so good at trying to bash Richard Carpenter just proves what assholes & lowlifes that you are. Shit to me it's very entertaining because I know Richard is actually the opposite of what alot of you enjoy writing about. Believe nothing of what you hear & only half of what you see. RC never controled Karen & KC had all of the freedom that she wanted. Richard was just very into his work & wanted it to sound great. RC' mistakes too much touring, sleeping pill addition.
Thank you for all of the nice comments that many of you have left for me on my Channel. Please feel free to subscribe as this channel is dedicated to Karen.
On the book little Girl Blue- Do you feel Richard is marginalized by the way his image is included on the cover? Randy Schmidt's answer is "Some people don't see him until a second, or third glance." I don't know about any of you, but I recognize the book cover the very first time, who are you fooling Mr. Schmidt, you are so anti Richard Carpenter.There are so many pictures of Karen that you could of put on your cover. Richard has given more money away, then you'll make in a life time.
RANDY SCHMIDT, (AUTHOR OF LITTLE GIRL BLUE) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU & ME IS THAT I RESPECT THE CARPENTER FAMILY, YOU DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO LINE YOUR POCKETS WITH AS MONEY AS YOU CAN. WITH ALL THE TIME THAT YOU PUT INTO A BOOK (THAT BY THE WAY IS MISSING ALOT) HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE A PART THE CARPENTERS THE MOST WOULDN'T GIVE YOU JACK SQUAT! YOU ARE NOT A VERY RESPECTED MAN. YOU BLOCK PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH. PS THE NAMES ARE AKA WAY AHEAD OF YOU- WE KNEW!
@gamy6623 There's no argument that Karen is one of the greatest female singers of seventies, with this song however, it's the original singer of this song that deserves all the credit(Bobby Gentry)
@istimewa1x It was Dionne Warwick who had the Top 10 Hit with this song and won the 1970 GRAMMY- Best Female Vocal Performance in Pop for "I'll Never Fall In Love Again".
@ssstate727 that may or may not be true.Both Dionne and Karen are class acts but so is/was miss Bobby Gentry who scored a hit in the UK and Netherlands with that song
Hi friend! I was born one day before Karen and love all her songs. She has the best woman's voice I ever heard. Sing a song for the angels dear Karen!
Why can't people go one video without mentioning how today's music sucks? Honestly, different strokes for different folks and you don't have to make yourself seem close minded by insulting another genre of music (a genre that is so far removed from the music in the video). I listen to everything and I don't sit there thinking I'm better because I have a certain taste in music.
I heard the Carpenters in 1972 Guatemala 3rd grade. I was living with my aunt who was a kinder teacher. Julio Iglesias was on all the radios too. Unforgettable memories.Macartney and Wings. Nothing like those times
This, to me, is the BEST version of this song! While I do like Dionne's earlier version, this one, I think, has more energy! BTW Dionne Warwick's version is not the original. I just learned that was originally performed by Jerry Orbach in "Promises, Promises"
Rightly I have just listened to Dione Warwick's version. It looks like to me an acceptable version, though a bit light more than that of Karen Carpenter. Many years ago behind Laura Branigan did a new extraordinary version of Glory, a very ancient song that was sung for mas of 100 artists. And such it was the quality that in the decade of 80 went candidata in the Grammy to the best feminine interpretation, but lost with Fame of Irene Caras.

And such it was the quality that in the decade of 80 went candidata in the Grammy to the best feminine interpretation, but lost with Fame of Irene Caras.
The dionne warwick version is another song. There was i'll never love this way again and the music and lyrincs are differents. Karen Caroenter song was i'll never FALL IN LOVE AGAIN.
Both of them are very beatyfull songs and i cal both a classic songs.
@JJSuperSport Dionne Warwick actually did the original version of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", she ALSO did "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again".
whoa! the instrumental reminds me of Hunter X Hunter! her voice is so awesome! the arrangement is so relaxing and cool at the same time...it's so beautiful it makes me want to cry. indeed, this is a song for all generations!
I absolutely love Karen Carpenter and was very sad of the news when she died. She has one of the most beautiful voices in the whole wide world. I was blessed to be around as she was singing her awesome songs with that angelic voice. May she rest in peace
And to think people consider Lady Ga-Ga as "MUSIC"??? Its laughable! Lady Ga-Ga and the rest of the quote unquote "SINGERS" of these are nothing compared to Karen!
@Thealmostguy that is what makes the song great, its simple and tasteful! Karen never oversang songs, like the people do nowadays, she had a simple and easy mellow type of voice. Her music is relaxing and makes you feel good! Gooey and sappy is great it shows a person has a soul, and meaning behind what they are singing! Its called EMOTION HONEY! not screaming and shouting like Christina Agulera does, BIG DIFFERENCE! its called good taste! and Karen had it!
@maleficentdiva Honey??? Emotion??? Yeah, quite the positive spin. I could easily refer to it as saccherine and ill-conceived, melodramatic spewage. But whatever, it's meh to me. I wouldn't be so self-righteous as to malign peoples' tastes with sweeping generalizations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Karen didn't write a whole lot of her songs did she? Now I'm no Aguilera fan but you claim objectivity by using"talent" in your comments. Clearly Aguilera has an incredible vocal range. Talent, no?
@Thealmostguy Well you know what, if you don't like Karen that is fine, I am not going to drag on this debate, becasue its pointless. Obviously you don't get Karen at all, and the type of person and great artist she is/was.
@Thealmostguy the deal is karen could sing songs it seemed with no effort or having to oversing it.This is hard to explain but its like singing was as natural to her as a bird is to flying,u dont see birds doing flips or trying to do ridiculus stunts.but about anyother singer u name seems as though they dont sing natural but have to do all kinds of acrobatics to make up for it Karen Carpenter didnt.
@valkour22 I agree, Karen had such a unique "contralto" voice, yet an incredible range. A voice that comes along once in a lifetime, perhaps. She made it look so easy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@maleficentdiva true and yet just two years ago ppl were saying that GaGa was the best singer of the year ha. Don't compare everyone to GaGa find something else to talk about because talking about with great artists means that you're shallow and you don't have anything better to say. And that you just want a whole lot of people to vote u up. Cheap shot. BTW I love Karen and Richard they have voices like silk
@maleficentdiva Concerning Lady Gaga you are wrong. She is a young woman who writes, performs and sings her songs live. (She is a girl from now, with lots of talent live on piano too). Of course, I do like The Carpenters . Beautiful songs. .... .
@maleficentdiva Why can't people enjoy both? Even if Lady Gaga is not as talented as Karen she is still an artist in her own way, just because you don't ejoy her doesn't make her any less of a singer.
This was my life at 14 when I got heartbroken by a boy and decided that boys were pointless. It was like being in a wonderland that I was forcibly pushed out of and never wanted to return to. Now that I'm 18, I'm trying to go back and give it another chance.
@MissGenius3847 Don't worry, you'll meet love at the least moment you expect it to come in your life.There is is someone who's waiting for you out there, you can be sure of that. I was 18 a long time ago and then also thought I've lived enough to know love wasn't for me.Now I'm 41 and I am the father of three kids.Love is at the corner of the street for everyone, just keep your heart open :-)
The Carpenters could sing anything, and not only that, but they sang it right. Thanks Karen (RIP) and Richard. It's funny how you never hear The Carpenters on the radio, but they were solid gold in the 70's! People can't help but be in awe when they hear them. I miss hearing them on the radio.
@tomandmary55 I don't know what 70's on 7 is. There may be stations that play 70's music, but some of those stations play songs that are either disco or play music that's a little bit harder than The Carpenters. So, you wouldn't hear their music on them. I'm not sure if that answers your question. Have a good day.
dionne and karen..all of those funkies from the 70s..really had the perfect corny lyrics..so real. who said the 70s wasn't real? it was a rainbow of fruit flavors. i feel that more of dionne's lyrics should be sampled by djs and rappers alike today. it only makes sense to extrapolate from that pool. i haven't seen that transplant occur yet. i wonder why? seriously. closest thing is something reminiscent in a 007 spoof. not the same thing. dionne is PERFECT for sampling.
Still love this song! I bought the album in Detroit (at Korvets, lol) when it was released - and still have it! I knew Close To You was on it and at that time everyone in the free world was singing that song .... drove my Grandmother crazy playing it over and over......those were the days!
Haven't even been born when Karen Carpenter died, love their songs nonetheless.. Carpenters made a bunch of classics...

I heard the Carpenters in 1972 Guatemala 3rd grade. I was living with my aunt who was a kinder teacher. Julio Iglesias was on all the radios too. Unforgettable memories.Macartney and Wings. Nothing like those times

This, to me, is the BEST version of this song! While I do like Dionne's earlier version, this one, I think, has more energy! BTW Dionne Warwick's version is not the original. I just learned that was originally performed by Jerry Orbach in "Promises, Promises"

Rightly I have just listened to Dione Warwick's version. It looks like to me an acceptable version, though a bit light more than that of Karen Carpenter. Many years ago behind Laura Branigan did a new extraordinary version of Glory, a very ancient song that was sung for mas of 100 artists. And such it was the quality that in the decade of 80 went candidata in the Grammy to the best feminine interpretation, but lost with Fame of Irene Caras.

@maleficentdiva Get off your high horse. This song has decent melody but how simplistic are the lyrics? How gooey and sappy are they?
Thealmostguy 1 year ago
@Thealmostguy that is what makes the song great, its simple and tasteful! Karen never oversang songs, like the people do nowadays, she had a simple and easy mellow type of voice. Her music is relaxing and makes you feel good! Gooey and sappy is great it shows a person has a soul, and meaning behind what they are singing! Its called EMOTION HONEY! not screaming and shouting like Christina Agulera does, BIG DIFFERENCE! its called good taste! and Karen had it!
maleficentdiva 1 year ago
@maleficentdiva Honey??? Emotion??? Yeah, quite the positive spin. I could easily refer to it as saccherine and ill-conceived, melodramatic spewage. But whatever, it's meh to me. I wouldn't be so self-righteous as to malign peoples' tastes with sweeping generalizations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Karen didn't write a whole lot of her songs did she? Now I'm no Aguilera fan but you claim objectivity by using"talent" in your comments. Clearly Aguilera has an incredible vocal range. Talent, no?

@Thealmostguy Well you know what, if you don't like Karen that is fine, I am not going to drag on this debate, becasue its pointless. Obviously you don't get Karen at all, and the type of person and great artist she is/was.

@Thealmostguy the deal is karen could sing songs it seemed with no effort or having to oversing it.This is hard to explain but its like singing was as natural to her as a bird is to flying,u dont see birds doing flips or trying to do ridiculus stunts.but about anyother singer u name seems as though they dont sing natural but have to do all kinds of acrobatics to make up for it Karen Carpenter didnt.

@valkour22 I agree, Karen had such a unique "contralto" voice, yet an incredible range. A voice that comes along once in a lifetime, perhaps. She made it look so easy.

@maleficentdiva true and yet just two years ago ppl were saying that GaGa was the best singer of the year ha. Don't compare everyone to GaGa find something else to talk about because talking about with great artists means that you're shallow and you don't have anything better to say. And that you just want a whole lot of people to vote u up. Cheap shot. BTW I love Karen and Richard they have voices like silk

@maleficentdiva Concerning Lady Gaga you are wrong. She is a young woman who writes, performs and sings her songs live. (She is a girl from now, with lots of talent live on piano too). Of course, I do like The Carpenters . Beautiful songs. .... .

The Carpenters could sing anything, and not only that, but they sang it right. Thanks Karen (RIP) and Richard. It's funny how you never hear The Carpenters on the radio, but they were solid gold in the 70's! People can't help but be in awe when they hear them. I miss hearing them on the radio.

@tomandmary55 I don't know what 70's on 7 is. There may be stations that play 70's music, but some of those stations play songs that are either disco or play music that's a little bit harder than The Carpenters. So, you wouldn't hear their music on them. I'm not sure if that answers your question. Have a good day.

dionne and karen..all of those funkies from the 70s..really had the perfect corny lyrics..so real. who said the 70s wasn't real? it was a rainbow of fruit flavors. i feel that more of dionne's lyrics should be sampled by djs and rappers alike today. it only makes sense to extrapolate from that pool. i haven't seen that transplant occur yet. i wonder why? seriously. closest thing is something reminiscent in a 007 spoof. not the same thing. dionne is PERFECT for sampling.
