[daraseo]

My Favorite Singer of All TIME !!!! I Love You !! Karen!!! And I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH !!! May GOD BLESS YOU !!!

[dharmaseed]

Screw all the people that made her step out from behind the drums. We'd stil have her angelic voice if they hadn't done that.

[vmonjo1635]

es malo que se escape una lágrima por los recuerdos? Mercedes

[tcpd0202]

[jonesyhemi123]

Love ya Karen. RIP sweeetheart.

[viggencwb]

Sem dúvida a melhor voz feminina que já houve...uma artista completa... cantava, tocava bateria, e (DETALHE)...não precisava usar roupas provocantes (ou pouca roupa)...não rebolava, não fazia estardalhaço...apenas nos brindava com essa voz maravilhosa....é nisso que reside a eternidade do talento de Karen Carpenter...

[katinha744j]

que poder tem essa música de mexer com nossos sentimentos bons...emociona demais...

[EnsuiTheWolf]

Esto si es música~!

me gustaría que la música volviera a ser como antes

[ieatpeas24]

the greatest female voice ever

[ricktuma]

HErmosa, impecable, eterna!!!!!

[millercondormanyari]

[ctmmiea]

[kellyklove]

[Forevernight]

[warren3427]

No girl wouldve ever of said this about me, especially in my teen years--yet I feel drawn to the romanticism--I guesss I wish I was the guy shes adoringly singing about--

[jesuscristo2856]

ESTA HERMOSA MELODIA ME TRANSPORTA A LOS AÑOS MARAVILLOSOS DE MI JUVENTUD.

[gerardocarloselloco]

con este tema recuerdo a una persona k nunca volvi a ver ANGIE de el paso tx.. donde estas te recuerdo con carino te acuerdas

[MultiKalomira]

en mi baile con mi marido fue mi canción

[MultiKalomira]

pongo una vela por karen po su anorexia y gracias a esta cancion estoy casada

[caroldholleman]

my husband used to sing this song to me when we were first together, i still love him as deeply even after 24 years of marriage

[stig107]

awsome voice shame she left us early



[ruthymora]

Maybe I am not a great poet, but all this music inspires me to say everything what I have in my heart.

[surferita95]

que bonita es la cancion (L)

[ouralphe]

più brava della streisand

[6577oscar]

karen extraño tu voz y tu figura ,no hay cantantes que se acerquen siquiera a tu genialidad ,suavidad y dulzura melancolica de tu voz .

[ozuloaga]

Muy hermosa voz que se apago antes de tiempo; una voy tan dulce y limpia que para mi es insuperable; no hay que dejar de recalcar que esa voz pudo ser apreciada por la letra y música de uno de los mas grandes compositores que también compuso otros temas para grandes figuras como BJ Thomas y Dionne Warwick; me refiero a Burt Bacharach, un gran compositor.

[mzzchezchez]

pure poetry♫ set to music ♥

[irfan123456789able]

why karen why your voice like an angel

[TreasureOne]

Women don't become anorexic because they're "fat" or "ugly." They become anorexic due to relentless persecution and harassment of their bodies. They're never good enough. Every time you call a woman "fat," you're pushing her towards a deadly eating disorder.

[sststffsbpfjd]

Qué voz tan hermosa, con razón un grupo de astronautas dijeron que si encontraban vida en otro planeta una de las cosas que llevarían de la tierra sería una canción cantada por Karen.

[hacrloaaa]

una de las canciones que me gustan pobre murió de anorexia

[antifloyd4ever]

fernanda lima? auhah

[Torniket]

tengo 24 anios y ninguna mujer compre mi gusto por la musica de antes...... es triste que no sean romanticas....espero encontrar a alguna

[ulises930421]

no importa como murio solo hay que mantenerla presente con su musica

[FoulOwl]

Three people were never close to anyone.What a pity.

[maddymud]

love her behind the kit. she won a talent content at the Hollywood Bowl this way

[grayaj23]

when you have Karen Carpenter blaring from the speakers/headphones, there is nothing that could possibly be wrong in the world.

[markodelaarraval]

Con la melodia me dan ganas de llorar :-) es genial.

[joseluishafj]

las musicas de los 70 son bonitas i romanticas encanvio aora las canciones tratan del amor pero solo que mas fuerte por ejemplo comeme la poolla i esas guarradas

[angelegido]

Maravillosa sensacion, cuanta vivencia, me remonta a esos maravillosos momentos de mi juventud, cuando el cielo se vestia de canciones como esta en la angelical voz de karen, gracias por darnos tanto, de enriquecer nuestra vida con melodias que nos envolvieron en la magia azul del sentimiento del amor, Gracias Carpenters

This may be the "Music Video" I watched on TV 40 years. But I cannot be sure of it. I watched a B/W TV then.

[arrontep]

Timeless my mother sang this to me when I was a baby :)

[sammy11232003]

great studio shot love this

[IIIOPful]

LEO LA CANTA MEJOR

[mnlght0snt]

Carpenters forever :)

[imalittlemidget]

My neighbours will always hate Karen Carpenter! She's the reason I bought a drum kit lol!!

[mnlght0snt]

@imalittlemidget , I'm planning to do the same... hahaha

[wolverineik]

Regarding the Simpsons, this song also features in Episode 12 Series 2, "The Way We Was" That's how I was introduced to this heavenly melody...

[guillerado]

En realidad esta canción la conocí con la película So Close, y en realidad es magnifica.........ahora solo queda disfrutarla.

[puminlokin]

son de esas canciones que si no hablas ingles de todos modos te prollectan algo muy padre

[marcosongoku]

esta es una buena cancion,los simpsons fueron buena onda en ponerla en la peli

merece mas de 5 estrellas

[38hectorin]

EXCELENTE VIDEOS AMIGOS ESCUCHENLOS

[064hunter]

buena rola ella es la onda

[dokencitooo]

no hay nada como los 70!!! dios mio que relajante..!!

[improvguru]

Karen was not fat ever, but she wasn't at all feminine in her early years and this may have been a contributing factor.

Her drumming was so effortless.

[Youngapostle007]

Not only is the melody beautiful, but the harmony is as well.

[mrExcavator81]

I also heard this song on the Simpsons Movie. It´s emotional!!

[AdvertChild98]

Thanks to the Simpson movie, I got to know who Karen Carpenter was. Her voice is like an angel singing from the heaven,especially this song. It's one of the haunting beautiful song I've ever heard in my life!

Why Karen? You weren't fat or bad looking, why did you have to lose weight? Questions to the heaven.

[lehmi001]

Yes, I think so. Its really sad. I like Karen and her voice is so beautiful.

[giannaluva65]

well u have been missing out buddy lol

[00arLMar00]

me encanta esta cancion a pesar de que ya tiene sus años

[dvdvideo]

¬¬ ...

[dvdvideo]

Esta es la cancion de marge y homero n.n

[azeneethL]

ajajaja yo tambien habia pensado en eso XD

[yeifithpunk]

karen carpenter por siempre y estas en nuestros corazones..... la chica de la voz angelical y ermosa, nadien como tu, tu eres unica y nadien te revasara tu nivel

te amamos karen

[FornaxFlaminius]

Richard Carpenter was just featured on NPR on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of The Carpenter's signing with A&M and the release of a 40 song compilation entitled "40/40," and it has nothing to do with Jay-Z's NY club. Wonderful interview with him about how Herb Alpert gave him the lead sheet for this song and the arranging process he went through. 12-part harmony at the end, all overdubbed, the 3-part unison trumpet also overdubbed. It was first I heard this song in at least 25 years.

[faeryquene]

A Heaven-sent voice-and her brother Richard was a genius at arrangements.

[gopconservative78]

shame she is gone........

[GoodVita]

they should never take karen off the drum

[moderaaa]

Definitivamente, ya no hay música como la de antes.

[engelcarta390]

Karen was so cute and sweet looking. I'm in love with her.

[EricJacoby16]

drummergirl<3

[foresterinhokkaido]

Karen has incredibly havenly voice.

[missmarplefan]

god plays this song in heaven everyday

[hememo]

que voz y que cancion esa epoca es unica... nostalgia amigos...

[r5cpt]

@missmarplefan I dunno about God, but Karen definitely had an angelic voice. Probably the best female pop vocal of all times.

[seviwesuohetarepsed]

@missmarplefan what a beautiful thing to say

[Wranger243]

@missmarplefan If a god existed I'm pretty sure he'd have better taste.

[KCalita]

La voz de un verdadero ángel, God bless her.

[kalliboon]

ella murio de anorexia

verdad??

[seiho95]

si murio de esa enfermadad.

[nightpunk18]

@seiho95 NO MURIO EN UN ACCIDENTE AUTOMOVILISTICO??

[seiho95]

@nightpunk18 MURIO DE ANOREXIA

[girlatcs]

Karen and Richard are such prodigies...who can sing so well while playing the drums??? like...WOW....i love her....

[JiggyHo]

Makes me think of 'thugging' candy from the Kwikee Food Mart on Second Ave.

[magandaakosankapa]

nice voice

[andreina001]

hermosa cancion.....

[bhav213]

great song

[KudoGuru]

Ok song.
