Fabulous upload-you turned a fine studio recording into a more intimate, sweet and still very powerful,almost unplugged, Karen Carpenter Trio performance.
The depth of her voice is incredible! So meaningful, so HUMAN! I think that her talent has forever affected what many only used to aspire to. Today's singers rarely communicate this level of performance and that's a fact. Karen you were taken too soon, but some of us are fortunate to have had you in our lives...
@myerspat Goopy production? Richard invented the Carpenters. He was the one who knew how to utilize and optimize Karen's voice. Without him, Karen would have never reached the level she did.
@JP5466 Sorry, I didn't mean how her voice was made to sound -- I was talking about the schmaltzy strings, etc. I'm sure the recording and engineering are excellent.
Beautiful, I was such a fan of hers when I was kid back then in the 70's

Karen's voice really works best when it's on it's own like this. It sounds so much better than when it has Richard's schmaltzy syrup all over it.

So clean and so pure, I think Karen's voice is from another realm or something.

AMAZING - It really does sound like Karen is in the room with you !
The clarity of the recording is fantastic for something over 35 years old !

How cool -- it shows how good she would have been if she hadn't been undermined by that goopy production.
