[seis193]

Que hermosa voz dios le dio un hermoso don, voz de angel.

[padude64]

I wa born in 1964 and I love you Karen Carpenter!!

[slopoke2112]

It's sad to hear a person who sang the most beautiful and melancholy love songs of all time was instead undone by it. You think of all the great singers that have passed on, like Joplin and Winehouse to name a few. Women who sang with all their heart and soul. It's like they were songbirds who gave us the gift of song, but only for a brief time time. Then flew away...

[carlosfunhouse2]

She does not look old!

[acousticguitarfan]

Karen had such an angelic voice! Beautiful!

[shelgirl001]

This was number 1 the day I was born!! I love it!!!

[sweetsong70]

@shelgirl001 It was number 1 on my birthdate as well!

[shelgirl001]

@sweetsong70 ...Cool!!!

[alanbourbeau24]

This is one of my favorite love songs. And it's perfect of for February 14th, Valentines Day. And i hope to find my soul mate. One that will be understanding, caring, loving, funny, compassionate and respectful.

[mewjaws5754]

Voice of an Angel"

[TheChucho1989]

Simplemente Hermoso, sera mi cancion cuando me case.

[mygirlruth]

thumbs up if you think The Carpenters sound is timeless.

[roxannesvideos]

I still miss her. She sings so good.

[Heartlesstod]

one of the most beautiful voices ever! perfect in its simplicity!

[pisiki]

R.I.P. Sweet sweet Angel! :(

[padude64]

I call this the wedding song!

[CoveredBridgeman]

I See Others That Love The Carpenters Like Myself, Like You all I also Do NOT LIKE The Crap oh Let me Refrase That The Garbage Thy Play Today, This is Why I Lisen to The Oldies All The Time & Nothing Else.

as Long as we The Baby Boom Generation are around The Oldies will Live on & on.

Keep Spinning The Oldies because we Love it.

Baby Boomer

[ludogers]

it's a french song... Francis LAI

[neukertification]

I remember having this huge crush on this guy in Junior High School that was in the 70's and everytime this song played on the radio I would just sigh and think of him..lol

[OhioBucksTexasHorns]

I know this is everyone's song...but when I hear that this is "Homer and Marge's song" from the Simpson's I have no choice but to cringe. Really?? Homer Simpson?? I don't care if they stuck this song into that film or any other for that matter...this song is SUPER SPECIAL in ALL THE WORLD of music...Karen was astonishing and she is imprinted on me and my soul...a true gift from God. Selfishly I wish she was still here...miss her!

[truepowerbombking]

the GREATEST female voic eof my generation- PERIOD. no offense to celine diom, barbara streisand or mariah but karen carpenter was the best. perfect pitch, scary- good vocal control and flawless in any key, amazing in upper or lower registry vocally, Karen was without equal. dont believe me ? well, Ella Fitgerald herself said Karen Carpenter was the best SHE ever heard. THAT alone should settle the argument...

[MrCombat1965]

@truepowerbombking I've always had great respect for Ella's singing, I didn't know she said that about her. Good to know.

[MrDeerecub1977]

2:36 really?

[Hopffnung]

Thumbs up if your heart is melting like sugar ;)

[starrrkrazeee]

Angelic!

[starrrkrazeee]

Nothing but Tears!



[mrgregkeefer100]

This song holds up to the test of time.Almost 4 million views.Better then 80% of the crap they sing today.

[54Snickers]

@mrgregkeefer100

Better than 80% of the crap they sing today?? Try "better than 100% of the crap they sing today." Other than that, I agree with what you wrote!

[mrgregkeefer100]

@54Snickers Well maybe 90%..LOL But its nice ti hear someone has the same opinion about the current music being produced today.Hope you have a good holiday.

[midwesternChicana]

Love this. Always loved the Carpenters. Miss this kind of music.

[honest4sure]

Those as teens who mocked the Carpenters in the 70s - well - these were the slow dance songs at their weddings - these were the CDs they purchased in the 90s and these are the songs currently in the soft pop/easy listening folders on their Ipods now. Karen's voice became immortal well after her death.

[MusicMan3423]

Angelic voice Karen you're truly missed......

[TheMisterdouglas]

karen, o marcelino te ama, o brazil te ama. em algum lugar voce esta sendo uma poetisa. saudades

[SuperMonsty]

cant bear to watch with that pants n boots! but great song. :p

[carlalouisec]

I'm 22... and I think this song is great haha

[jamesings]

This is a sacred song. I was in high school and froze when I heard this voice of angel from a car radio. The fact no other female singers could sing this song well or even trying to copy Karen is a testament on Karen's pure and highest voice quality that should be treasured for a long time.

[purple32759]

LUV THE MUXIC AND VIDEO...BUT "WHY"???? MAKE SUCH "MEAN" REMARKS?!!?

[purple32759]

LOVE THE VIDEO...BUT NOT NICE COMMENTS!!!

[TyusButterfly]

Brought me to tears we miss you Karen,so much talent;)

[cmwalkerable]

@TyusButterfly You know she was the bomb back in the day!

[padude64]

Karen as a grown man, you make me sleep well with this song! I miss you so much!

[wlt777]

Karen, this "Very Memorable Time" in my life, and her "Beautiful" music will "Always" hold a special place in my heart til the day I die.

[MrStardustdancer]

I read something somewhere about these two being in love with each other, and were lover's at one time time during his battle with qualudes. I kind of believe it because he did marry his first cousin mary in real life, And they were pretty much kept at home by their parent's growing up. Any how they had great music back in the day. It is pretty much all just noise the crap put out nowaday's.

[holdempoker95]

The best female siner of all time,pitch prefect,tonal perfection

[madamerotten]

@holdempoker95 She wasn't a siner! What sins did she commit?

[Kell1295]

I still love this song <3 RIP Karen <3

[Blondiechickie1972]

beautiful song :D

[biazitah03]

i love, love and love this music!

[1966ChevellesRock]

Singers, today, need all of the mixing of their voices to sound as good as the singers of the past. Just plain singing from the heart and voice, not a bunch of modifications.

[321123MichaelJackson]

110 people dont have a crush to refer to when listening to this

[Jediknight320]

i cry every single time I watch the simpsons movie simply because of the beauty of this song :')

[flixter100]

simply impresive

[smokiebird06]

There's a new Carpenters CD coming out with all of their greatest hits, and, best of all, there's a picture of Karen on the side.

[gyovannirobson]

In the scenario, is missing the word TUBE....

[viamy29]

grew up on this, wished i still had the records....oh well thankfully we have youtube :)

[movadoband]

almost 3 and 1/2 million people watched this, we know what's really important :)

[viamy29]

the music used to be so awesome.....

[movadoband]

@viamy29 simplicity is beautiful

[revengerbad2]

she looks old because in that video she was suffering anorexia :l u.u

[stringsandthings100]

[scrumtralescence]

I don't know ... Rick Moranis' version in Parenthood was almost as good.

[Francisfaustina]

Believe me Joshua.....I was 13 when I listened to the Carpenters and IT WAS GREAT!!!

[JoshuaStramp]

I'm 13 and i think that i'd like living in those times!

[icouldbecontacted]

"but am still trying to hold on to it,..."

hold on. be good, to you!

[lemondrop2012]

I miss these days....

[agt5793]

[iamsonny7]

Most memorable song of the 70's. Great music until the early 80's. Now it's all shouting and screaming.

[ThePhotobug561]

The best pop song written in the last 50 years by the best pop composer of the last 50 years arranged by the best pop arranger of the last 50 years and sung by the best pop female vocalist in the last 50 years.

[TheCcole43]

She had the best voice ever

[Purple1984Rain]

@TheCcole43

I've been saying that ever since I first heard her sing as a 13 year old. Even at that young age I was mesmerized by her voice. 30 years later nothing has changed :))

[sardwyn3]

A lot of young girls thought about me when this song came on the radio.

[stevietire71]

one of the most beautiful voices ever.. such a shame she is gone

[ferns289]

เพลงนี้ ฉันได้ดูหนังเรื่องหนึ่ง และก็มีเพลงนี้ตั้งแต่เริ่มฟัง ฉันก้ชอบมันมากๆ

[vmuto1]

In Litlle Girl Blue Part 2 (What I did with all the money I made off of Karen Carpenter's misfortune) Randy Schmidt should pay his usual kudos to him, himself & he & mention to the world that he indeed is denton's teacher of the year, & Remind the people once again that put him on the NY times best sellers list that, He became a Carpenters fan in 1989 after watching The made for TV movie, The Karen Carpenter story, WOW what a historian (NOT) How many you tube channels does this guy have?

[3939LA]

You just had to have been there!!!!

[Ramos2123]

I know this is homer and marge's song and it made me cry in the movie but I love this song because is my parent's wedding song. Next year, in his 20 aniversary I will play this song to them.

[kstevens52]

Thumbs up if you remember Rick Moranis singing this in the movie Parenthood. ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... close to you!

[Zeppolino100]

It's sad that she sang so beautifully of romantic love, yet never found it in her much too short life.

[vmuto1]

To Randy Schmidt (Author of Little Girl Blue) Karma's a bitch!

[Damon98335]

There are only two singers in the past 50 years that I would have described as "having the voice of an angel". They were Karen Carpenter and Carl Wilson. RIP.
