@lurch321 Well he basically felt, like everyone else in the band, & the pressure to be as perfect as possible was just not something that Gary could do, or wanted to do. He was probably the lease known personality of the group. Gary jump shiped & I'm sure when he got over to the other camp, he realized what a mistake he made. NO one could touch the Carpenters talent. In the real world we call this not being a team player, or a trader.
Karen was the most Beautiful & Angelic looking person that I have ever seen in my Life. She had the Voice of an Angel & Eyes of God. I often think, perhaps she was too good for the world. I would move Heaven & Earth to bring her back. This is Karen & Richard in their prime, she looks so Healthy & Happy here. I cannot put into words how much I miss her. She is (was) the greatest female vocalist of all time. Thank you Richard for all of your contribtions to music. Put them in the Hall of Fame!
just absolutely fantastic clip! Thinking of their meteoric rise to success, all brand new, their music playing all over the world, vietnam raging, and all the young people with all their dreams of the future! What a great time to be alive and I was there!! Thanks!
she is stunningly beautiful at 360 degree angle!!!! i really really miss her and her angelic voice..wherever you are i'm praying that you're with your Creator right now...you'll always be alive in my heart for as long as i live..miss you my idol...regards to mr.Carpenter,Richard & his whole family...Sharifa
Man she was GORGEOUS. I'll ALWAYS love her for her voice, drumming (she was one of my early drumming influences) and her gorgeous face. She had it ALL.
I don't know about the Edwards man saying 'it's time' to do the show; they were possibly worrying why he couldn't have waited a few more years to do them, or did he know something they didn't?
Thumbs up if you can't remember the name of your first piano teacher, either.

I hope Karen Carpenter 's soul is in a place where she can see how many people truly loved her, and will never forget her influence on our lives.

It's too bad that there wasn't an A&E intervention show at the time.

I love at 3:36 where Karen whacks the host playfully. He looks at her like "what was that?"
