The year this song came out< i was 17 and first in love with..still the love of my life. The soundtrack to those, my best years was The Carpenters and Bread. I didnt know for years there was a tie btween the two. Jimmy Griffin, the guitar guy with the big mustache in Bread wrote the song For All We Know. I was a rock and roll musician and played for older well known michigan artists on weekends, opening act, etc, but listened to The Carpenters, Bread, and Joni Mitchell. It was all about feeling.
KAREN CARPENTER! A beautiful Angelic Voice! Many millions of people still cherish Karen's beautiful voice and wonderful recordings! It was indeed a tragic and sorrowful event that she died at age 32!
Far too short a life! The world misses Karen Carpenter, but cherishes her music!
Karen Carpenter 28th Anniversary February 6th . So many years after, her unique, perfect, clear voice lives on. Some have called their music "cheesy". Bad for them. I /We call it art and beauty. This is what soft pop music is about. And this is called singing.
Such a pure and amazing voice. No singer today will ever match her style and vocal quality. God Bless her and may she rest in peace. She was taken from us far to soon.
Karen was what, 22-23 here? Singers like this come along once in a lifetime. And NONE of the "singers" in the charts today is qualified to hold Karen's coat, in my opinion.
One of the most soothing voices of all time. This lady couldn't sing a wrong note if she tried. Today we have these "singers" using auto-tune to correct pitch in the studio because they really can't sing very well. I bet you can't find five singers in pop music today that can sing like this live.
only 2 things make me cry...my kids and Karen Carpenter. THE voice of my lifetime, I've travelled the musical highway from youth but Karen is timeless and reassuringly perfect and comforting. God Bless you for Karen and Richard for your music.
An instantly recognized pop voice, full of sorrow and hope and wonderful vocal technique. She is, truly, the most accomplished singer of her time. We are lucky to hear what she achieved in a very short career. But, the tragedy is how this remarkable singer might have evolved over the years. Our loss, indeed!
Thank you for sharing this. I think my brain just melted, I know my heart did. I grew up listening to and loving this music, but not until now can I fully appreciate the excellence and absolute unique nature of this voice... that simply has no equal.
These were great songs, granted. But Ms. Carpenter could sing the periodic table of elements--in Japanese--WITH LARYNGITIS--and a mouth full of marbles, and still have a voice to die for.
She shouldv'e been a Beatle. That would be awesome!
i sat here listening and reading all the comments and i guess i wasnt alone in my thoughts as it seems i wasnt the only one that thought we had a ANGEL in disguise on Earth ,eh ! She started out thinking she didnt have a good voice,,unbelievable,, eh ,,, we are the few that knew ,,, shes back in heaven now ,,we love you Karen~
Yes, we were very lucky to have had her when we did. Too bad she could not have been around longer for us, and especially her brother, to create more pure, beautiful music.
I love Karen, her talent was beyond amazing... but I also like Lady GaGa, she's a talented creative young lady.. if Karen were still alive I think she would ask Lady Gaga to her next Christmas Album!.. RIP Karen!
So effortless... so pure... We will never have a singer as great and angelic as Karen's was. No one can compare to Karen. Absolutely no one. Such a beautiful woman. Love you, Karen! "A Star on Earth, A Star in Heaven"
Oh My gosh! I love it! She's really the best. It has been 26 years since she've been gone, but as I listen to every song she had sung, it's always as good as new. And until now I still wish that she's here. Though I know that really couldn't happen. Thank you Lord for giving us Karen!
This is perfect, absolutely flawless. She was the most amazing singer that EVER lived. No one can or will ever be able to touch her range and the emotion that she presented when she sing. She can never be replaced. A true legend and star.
Her vocal range was so low for a woman yet perfectly feminine. She was lovely.

Oh sure, there are plenty of women who can sing like Karen...no doubt about it; but, they DON'T WANT TO...
What you get, instead, is a lost generation of kids like Lady ga-ga, for an example...
Sounds like some uncontrollable disease, or something!!!
