I would like to put this one out there & roll the Dice for the world to read & see what they think of this idea. I would Love more than anything in the world for Richard Carpenter to get the Carpenter band together (including Herb, & Burt who were a Big part) & do a tribute show for Karen &Tony. Why not one more time, for the good old times. Everyones getting older each & every year, I really believe in my heart that this would be special & Karen could be included on a Big Screen with Pictures
With each day that goes by, now going on 10 months, I'm still sickened by the fact that Karen's friends Carol, Debbie & Frank actually "ALLOWED" Randy Schmidt to bring both himself & his book to East Haven & even worse Nathan Hale Elementary School. I Love & Respect all three of you & I'm really glad that the most precious & private things about Karen Randy will NEVER have to know. The post reaction that Mr. Schmidt was there was Not well received by East Haven. Still isen't!

Anyone can write a book about a music artist, however there are only a handful of people that would really know the true story about the particular artist. In Elvis Presley's case, Joe Esposito, George Klein, & Larry Geller would be a few that knew all the in & outs about Elvis. In Karen's case there are a handful that could write as well-but Loyalty prevents this really "TRUE" Biography from being written. Karen was all good, & I know she Loved children :-)
Too bad we live in a world where people have to write books about other people's misfortune & make other people out to be villians instead of just enjoying the music that was recorded for everyone to enjoy. Despite what you read friends The Carpenter family was close. Remember when the paparazzi followed princess Diana, & see what what sadly happened that night, well Randy Schmidt is doing the same thing to Karen Carpenter, except Karen's no longer with us,so fans get to endure all this crap.
@TheRiptide12345 this one has special meaning for me. My mother passed away in October 1998 and my brother, who is a major Carpenters fan like I am, chose this song to be played at the funeral service. I'm also a huge Henry Mancini fan so I was pleased when I found out it was his daughter Felice who wrote the words as a poem that was a gift for her parents. Henry liked it so much that he set it to music.
@doofus0123 Oh yes indeed. She can carry those notes like no other can. It just makes me so upset everytime I go back to listen to her, why she had to leave us all.
Thank you for all of the nice comments that many of you have left for me on my Channel. Please feel free to subscribe as this channel is dedicated to Karen.
When you think of the book Little Girl Blue & the emphasis to make Richard Carpenter look like the bad guy, isen't it sad what the world has come to... Have you, or me not made mistakes in Life, or said if I knew then, what I know now. The most important think that I could share that I'm most certain about is that Richard Loved Karen more than anything on earth. Many don't respect the book, but it doesn't mean were going to put Randy Schmidt's home address on You Tube even thought we have it.

RANDY SCHMIDT, (AUTHOR OF LITTLE GIRL BLUE) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU & ME IS THAT I RESPECT THE CARPENTER FAMILY, YOU DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO LINE YOUR POCKETS WITH AS MONEY AS YOU CAN. WITH ALL THE TIME THAT YOU PUT INTO A BOOK (THAT BY THE WAY IS MISSING ALOT) HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE A PART THE CARPENTERS THE MOST WOULDN'T GIVE YOU JACK SQUAT! YOU ARE NOT A VERY RESPECTED MAN. YOU BLOCK PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH. PS THE NAMES ARE AKA WAY AHEAD OF YOU- WE KNEW!
the most beautiful voice that ever existed! From the beginning to the end of the song, her voice sounded rich, ptich perfect, sweet to the ears, heart touching, and she sings from the heart and touches the heart of those who hear it. There won't be another Karen who could sing like this. SO BEATIFUL.
i am always amazed with all the comments i read on youtube. critics out in the general public space seem to focus on the oddest things such as was karen carpenter wearing false eyelashes in this video. who cares? check out todays so called performers, how much is false about them? mostly their talent i suspect.
@remotewall yea your so right, no book out there either can even come close to what went on in their personal lives- what I can say though is Karen was always well dressed, well groomed & smelled like a million dollars. Richard Carpenter isen't the villian that people portray him to be either- he's a good man with a big heart. Thanks for your comment!
at this year many people died in chile because ,mister henry kissinger policy, i wasnt here but i feel very sad about it. some are in the rivers with wire on their wrist maybe are just bones at this time . is funny he has peace nobel price is really funny i used to live in colorado at that time viet natmwar was over but he guys ware sic about it i dindnt do anything about that i feel sorry
Sometimes, not often enough....I do miss Karen Carpenter. If you listen to this song from their studio album and not reflect on those you have missed and even tear up in your eyes, you have to be missing a heart. This song will always remind me how much I missed her...beautiful cannot even cone close to describe that voice.
When you e.g. listen to Julie Andrews snging and then you listen to her in an interview, it's the same kind of voice and style. When you hear Karen it's like the voice of an angel, and the first time I saw her in an interview, my impression was:"if I had only seen this girl talking, I would have never imagined she can turn her voice into that marvelous thing when singing".
Record execs now want lyrics that are disgusting and meaningless. It 's as if, we've forgotten music. what it truly is, and how beautiful it is supposed to be.
@vHumboldt77 Scripted perhaps? I don't know; but while we're used to song lyrics being set, it's a bit awkward when we have to converse by repeating lines given to us.
I daresay this is one of my favorite songs of all time -- and especially my favorite Carpenters duet. Perfect for her voice and for Richard's arrangement of it. Thank you !!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is so perfect for Karen and Richard too, who gets to shine on grand piano. His brilliant arrangements were so often often overshadowed by the superstardom of his phenomenal sister.
The best female singer of all time? This does an injustice to the dozens of favorites I have. I would not set one above the other pr bore you by naming them all. Much better to simply describe her as 'one of the best'. She sure was special.
I keep picturing Karen as a frustrated Moe Howard waiting to sing, while Larry (Richard) flares flamboyantly on the keys. Then Moe would slam the piano cover on Larry's fingers! Seriously, I would have loved if they did a stripped down Carpenters album with just Richard's piano, and Karen's forever vocals.
@themederman Glad you liked! I knew (hoped) someone out there would get the analogy. As to a Carpenters movie, they did one in 1989 (T.V,), which I have never seen, but I'm not really interested in seeing someone else portray the Carpenters, and have someone else lip-synch the songs. There are plenty of documentaries on You Tube, the best being "Only Yesterday". I'd rather see Richard Re-master & release old Carpenter concerts with commentary.
OK...all those who can get all the way through this song being in tears or without being in tears, please raise your kleenex tissue...your glass of wine...or your VO Manhattan as a toast to the voice of her era (and most any other era...)...Karen Carpenter...Tunesmith
I'm a 40yr old raised on 80s-90s metal music, but I have to give credit where credit is due... Karen had the most powerful voice of the past 3-4 decades. Her style of music isn't my cup of tea, but that voice is hypnotizing... I could listen to her for hours on end and never get tired of hearing Karen... RIP! Such a senseless death!
Wow que hermosa voz tenía KAREN no me canso de escucharla,es emocionante poder disfrutar de un talento tan impresionante como KAREN tenía,no he escuchado a otra cantante que haya hecho estremecer mi cuerpo tan facílmente como ella lo hace,con su voz tan hermosa sólo puedo caer rendido a sus pies...muchas gracias KAREN donde quiera que estés...THANK YOU.
@luistromb Me encanta lo que as puesto en su comentario. No hablo mucho el espanol, pero lo entiendo perfectamente. Siempre e amado a Karen. Nomas escuchar su voz me hace olvidar mis problemas y entro en un mundo lleno de paz y armonia. Muchas gracias por su comentario tan maravillosa.
Acredito que a vida eterna nos possibilita ir e vir no tempo, onde passamos por momentos como este novamente, onde Karen canta, e nós nos deliciamos com seu talento. LOVE KAREN!
Is Karen your favorite vocalist? If so, please go to this site: the-top-tens; search for "female singers" and "singers" and "most unique" and cast your vote. you must see some of the no-talents that are above Karen. please cast your vote!
update. I just watched this video a couple more times and started full on bawling. It lasted at least ten minutes.
Thank you so much for providing this gem, this live, cozy performance with only Karen's voice and Richard's piano. Karen never sounded more beautiful.
I can't imagine Richard hearing and seeing this and not falling apart every time.
I miss her voice most of all.......My childhood memories...miss you both Karen and Richard, your lovley piano playing,her awesome voice..never to be compared to anyone,,ever! Miss her so much,a forever fan.
Beautiful music from talented musicians. Karen's voice was the best - no one has duplicated it - saw their concert in Houston - fabulous memory. She left us too soon. Linda in Houston
I love this song--it reminds me all the years my mother sacrificed to be the mother and wife to my father..And all these years, she hasn't gotten what she deserved..
My wife and I had this song sung at our wedding as a surprise to our parents. They didn't know we were going to do it. We went down to the front row and presented them with flowers and hugged them. Everybody cried.
Record execs now want lyrics that are disgusting and meaningless. It 's as if, we've forgotten music. what it truly is, and how beautiful it is supposed to be.
True, indeed! Their aim isn't disgusting and meaningless, it's just that that's the end result from being "results-oriented" as opposed to process-oriented and getting results from trial and error, as they did back in the day!
Here I sit, a grown man of 34yrs old. Tears running down my face. Why aren't their voices and talent like this anymore? Because the music industry sold out a long time ago. It's all about the money today, that's all. RIP Karen. Wish the world was blessed with more talent like yours.
Karen had such an amazing pure voice. Todays singers use electronic syncing to distrort their voices with the beat, beat ,beat electro sounds..Karen's was real and perfect. No singer today compares to Karen.
plis, somebody could help me to find a carpenter`s song, I saw the video once and I dont remember the name, the video its about a girl is taking care of a guy in a bath, hes completly down....tripping or i dont know....thank you
Just listening to every word of this song will make you realize that every moment with your love ones is very, very precious and should not be taken for granted.
hard to beat the true performers who do not rely on slick video and overdone tricks on their sound to give great entertainment. only wish i had the chance to see the carpenters perform live when karen was around. new music reflects new attitude. to me it appears to reflect a recent generation of foul mouthed ill mannered and self centred brats. most of the modern pop music fails to deliver quality and integrity.
depends what you look for in music, that is the beauty of it, music offers something for everyone, its not an exclusive club, and just because music hasn't got the same "integrity" nowadays doesn't make it any worse, really i don't see what integrity has to do with music, to me what you have just said is utter, utter bollocks from yet another old person moaning about todays youth, music doesn't have to be truthful or honest, or even nice, its just down to someones taste.
maybe if todays youth learnt to dress themselves the oldies would respect them a little more. why do you wear your pants around your knees? and wear jeans that don't fit you? you end up looking like you can't dress yourself. and no one cares what your undies look like except the companies that advertise themselves for nothing on your bum you dill. listen to yourself you idiot. you are a self centred brat. pull your pants up and get a life.
Not all music of today is defeaning and nonsense. I do listen to oldies music and I totally have nothing against it. It's just we all have to be openminded, and refrain from generalizing things or ideas. And I kind of agree with hay0506's comparative statement.
oh how i love the carpenters. <3 ever so much.

update. I just watched this video a couple more times and started full on bawling. It lasted at least ten minutes.
Thank you so much for providing this gem, this live, cozy performance with only Karen's voice and Richard's piano. Karen never sounded more beautiful.
I can't imagine Richard hearing and seeing this and not falling apart every time.

Record execs now want lyrics that are disgusting and meaningless. It 's as if, we've forgotten music. what it truly is, and how beautiful it is supposed to be.

@bandibreath
True, indeed! Their aim isn't disgusting and meaningless, it's just that that's the end result from being "results-oriented" as opposed to process-oriented and getting results from trial and error, as they did back in the day!

Here I sit, a grown man of 34yrs old. Tears running down my face. Why aren't their voices and talent like this anymore? Because the music industry sold out a long time ago. It's all about the money today, that's all. RIP Karen. Wish the world was blessed with more talent like yours.

Karen had such an amazing pure voice. Todays singers use electronic syncing to distrort their voices with the beat, beat ,beat electro sounds..Karen's was real and perfect. No singer today compares to Karen.

hard to beat the true performers who do not rely on slick video and overdone tricks on their sound to give great entertainment. only wish i had the chance to see the carpenters perform live when karen was around. new music reflects new attitude. to me it appears to reflect a recent generation of foul mouthed ill mannered and self centred brats. most of the modern pop music fails to deliver quality and integrity.

SystemJammer 2 years ago
depends what you look for in music, that is the beauty of it, music offers something for everyone, its not an exclusive club, and just because music hasn't got the same "integrity" nowadays doesn't make it any worse, really i don't see what integrity has to do with music, to me what you have just said is utter, utter bollocks from yet another old person moaning about todays youth, music doesn't have to be truthful or honest, or even nice, its just down to someones taste.
hay0506 2 years ago
maybe if todays youth learnt to dress themselves the oldies would respect them a little more. why do you wear your pants around your knees? and wear jeans that don't fit you? you end up looking like you can't dress yourself. and no one cares what your undies look like except the companies that advertise themselves for nothing on your bum you dill. listen to yourself you idiot. you are a self centred brat. pull your pants up and get a life.

Not all music of today is defeaning and nonsense. I do listen to oldies music and I totally have nothing against it. It's just we all have to be openminded, and refrain from generalizing things or ideas. And I kind of agree with hay0506's comparative statement.
