A Tribute to Karen Carpenter: A Song For You....

[Delicious1922]

Love this song. Its so heartfelt. I hate Karen got taken away so early in life.

[Purple1984Rain]

Very nice tribute Rihanna. I love the Carpenters too and Karen is my favorite female singer off all time. It's such a shame she's no longer with us. I miss her even more now especially when I listen to the radio today and see how far music has plumeted in the last 30 years.

~As yng.-bachelor in HollywoodHills circa mid-70's, late to an appointment, I spotted 'girl of my dreams' in front of a VenturaBlvd. Audio-shoppe. Double-parking my Corvette, i strolled over for closer impression! She was testing a Mic.; -i became enthralled by her voice & loveliness, and told her so; -she smiled graciously thanking me, then proceeded with the Mic. -Was later told by shop-owner- "Robair you should have stayed, ms.Carpenter hoped to become acquainted"; --i'm still heartbroken..!

I know that this song was made by Leon Russel, but Carpenters version sounds quite another tune, because by Richard

arrangement and Karen voice. The title of song should be A song for Carpenters by Leon Russel in my personal opinion. I respect both of them.

[laureadr147]

what an extraordinary talent.

[YOUrmypal68]

I love you in a place where there’s no space or time

I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember when we were together

[GodIsInTheMidstPs46]

Thank you. This brings back some wonderful memories. Her voice and their sound will truly last forever.

WONDERFULL VIDEO, SOMETIMES I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS

PERHAPS I WILL ALWAYS BE IN THAT TIME FOREVER AS THE SONG SAY.

THAT SONG IS FOR ALL OF US. .. ING PUENTES DE DURANGO MEXICO.

[pinkrhythm04]

I love this song in particular...nobody could sing this song,simple song not too much fuzz!!!

[daveandcliff]

This is a cover they did, itslike she was singing to the audience and to her brother and family.....ironic when you really listen to it..."came out in front and i was hiding"....was a drummer and then became "karen"....and when my life is over remember when we were together...her voice will always be one of the true "vocal instruments" and she didn't even realize it, was just a gift and she learned how to use it and we are the lucky ones to get to know her talent beyond her precious life.

[CalJennings]

It's sad that such a beautiful singer had to die so tragically and at such a young age. She will be forever missed.

[Wolfsky9]

Karen's very finest vocal, EVER. This & Superstar will always be her finest vocals. Her voice is so sad, longing, wistful, & heartbreaking--only Karen could have sang it like this--& onlyRichard couldhave arranged it all so perfectly. A true Masterpiece. Wolfsky9

[hardcandy900]

Please, can you send me a picture that in 0:47 and 4:19?

[turtles57]

Thank you for such a wonderful video which brings back warm memories and thoughts of a simplier time. This is a beautiful song and no one could sing like Karen. God bless her!

[22bonnie]

thank you so much for this tribute to karen i am a big fan of her,,,,,,,what a great collection of pictures showing her life

her songs were always the best,,,,i miss her so much,,,,,

[SOPHISCE]

This version is far superior to all other renditions.

No other songstress had that depth of emotion, which is why we still enjoy her talent decades after she left us.

[newportboy1961]

Hands down, without a doubt, the most beautiful voice EVER!! she had such emotion and range in her singing....It stops me in my tracks when her songs play. I know many men who won't admit that they liked their music, but ehy can remember the words!! I love to watch the amazing reactions people still have to this music. Her voice is unmatched. This song and Superstar are my favorites!

[mikey1829]

This is a BEAUTIFUL tribute.I am as moved today by her voice as much as I was when I was in high school.She had somthing special and haunting about the way she sang her notes and melodies.That last pic of the drum set really hits home as well as this song (my favorite). Thanks for all the great pix.I wish she was still around but the sound of her voice makes you feel like she still is.

[RhiannanAR1]

Ty so much for the wonderful comment, I'm so happy you liked it!!

I love how Karen's music is still touching ppl so many years after she left us too soon. Nobody could ever touch her vocals.♥♥

[Nanmios]

@RhiannanAR1

"Nobody could ever touch her vocals"

That's an exaggeration

[virginQ]

a great tribute to a phenomenal singer, the Carpenters made class A music and Karen was and always will be a Rock Star to me and millions the world over, her voice had the capacity to reach out and wrap itself around your heart, thank you for posting, i wish i could find a clip with her singing this song LIVE.

[RhiannanAR1]

TY so much, I'm so happy you liked this. :_) She's someone I would've enjoyed to see in concert. When she died, that was the first time I shed a tear over the death of a celebrity. She touched so many ppl, & it's nice to see she still does!

[shinznay]

So beautiful. Truly a wonderful woman Karen was and still is in memory.

[RhiannanAR1]

Oh my goodness!! Ty so much for stopping by JC, despite the fact this isn't a AR or HP video installment! Or a RS one for that matter. I'm wicked flattered you did! **muah** ♥

[hillkatback]

Love The Carpenters! She had such a lovely voice.

[RhiannanAR1]

Aww TY so much for stopping by Katy, despite the fact this video is none of these: AR, HP, or a RS video series installment. ;_) I'm flattered you did! **muah** ♥

[kboyzrock]

Undoubtedly one of my favorites of The Carpenters' songs, Karen' voice was really something special and she was one in a million, I get emotional when I hear her singing the lines, "and when my life is over, remember when we were alone, I was singing this song for you'. Wish she were still here today with that angelic voice. Thanks for sharing this.

[RhiannanAR1]

TY so much! I'm so happy you like it!!

[Daphne1225]

I bet you just made a lot of ppl very happy reposting this RHI! God, it's just beautiful. Miss you Karen, so much. RIP ♥
