Carpenters - KC & John Denver - Coming Through The Rye

[harvey1954]

I still have my casette tape from the original broadcast in 1976. Hard to believe that this tune was blocked from release in the US, but came out in Japan. What is the problem? The harmonies at the end are heaven sent from two singers cut off way too soon.

~~Dad engine in his airplane. ~~  Bad Habit for her. ~~

[res57]

I loved these guys!

[Coleaptera]

This is one of my favorite music videos. IMO John Denver and Karen Carpenter are the two best singers ever. They sing so beautifly. THis is the best duet ever. Putting John and Karen together is nothing short of genius.

[trevor40]

This is better than any song of 2011!

[No1KCfan6]

they would have made such a cute couple

[KosTAnTz]

that killed me...it really did

[JANXDPDX]

poor

[wolfxbloed]

Oh lord they're lip syncing. They made Comin Thro' the Rye slow.... I'm gonna cry. It's so... ugh. Lousy phonies. And I actually LIKE Karen.

[Masterofsweetness]

@wolfxbloed Ever heard of audio lag? Yeah that is what happened, not lip syncing

[mnlght0snt]

Karen Carpenter and John Denver together? A perfect combination :)

[trevor40]

Why the heck isnt this on DVD???

[indah007]

Two beautiful voices - and a very clever compilation - and neither using either of their own hits.

Top notch !!

[wenglishsal]

What a fantstic mix.. a Scottish folk song and the Beach Boys... Only the magic of Karen and John Denver could sell this... and they do.. both gone too soon but what wonderful voices, here for us to enjoy forever... thanks for posting this @myloneboat.. :0)x

[Culieoriginal]

Maybe I don't listen to music enough nowadays but I have this feeling that gone are the days when women's voices sounded lower than men's... (the one example I can never forget is Travolta and Newton-John in the last note of Summer Nights)

[tweetybonejigsaw]

i love how its sounds so nice and peacefull when its about having casual sex lol

[Danerd9]

i'm doing Cathcher in the RYE in my freshmen ENG class.

YOU PHONY!!!

[polboy13]

Holden would call this phony

[earcandy2008]

...I love Olivia, but Karen should have dueted on John's 'Fly Away' single. It would have made a great song excellent.

[kdpahl]

Thanks. Good memories.

[Nashcountryboy]

Not everyone will like this buy this was recorded in the late 1970's or very early 80's and was during a happier time in John's life when he was on top of the world. Don't forget that he was the artist of the decade and hosted the Grammy's like 3 times. He was a guest on many TV shows during his heyday. Thanks for Posting.

[EAveline]

this shouldn't be called Coming Through The Rye Its so bad

ugh

[crooner62]

Two of the best voices of all American popular music: and how beautifully their voices blend! I wish they had sung more together.

Thank you for posting.

[lololAdamlolol]

This is just terrible man.  You need to refine your taste in music.

[coronet72]

Wish they had made more music together. Two very talented and decent people. Thanks for posting.

[dogshitfarts]

John Denver needs to feed her before she dies

uh oh too late

[acdeucee]

someone should feed you John Denver. OOooops I meant a Lady GAGA

[phuonghong57]

whats kind of fucking man you are ? stop such a comp

[acdeucee]

I dont get it? I thought Denver was a backup singer for Lady Ga Ga. and also a drummer of the band ' Omlette Tio'?

[Tom6093]

Rocky Mountain High ? Annies song ? Sunshine on my shoulders ?

These are classic songs by him. If you don't know them then youv'e closed off some of the best music ever made.

[Morganathered]

[Kateyhall]

Hey to all people who are not fans of John Denver or Karen Carpenter,we the fans of these two talented singers would like you to not comment if you don't like them. Take your drama elsewhere! Thank you to the person who posted this great video of music's two greatest singers! Have a nice day.

[howrseroxs15]

I know. Since when is Scottish folk music considered good lounge singing?

[etaihan]

shalom from israel :)

is this the song by robert burns from the catcher in the rye?!

[moonlitstarzz]

shalom! the original is from Robert Burns

[seetjohn]

To cruice45:

Two reasons I can think of:

1. The creeps are given sufficient time to repent;

2. It's a test of faith for God's people.

Blessings from Singapore!

[cruice45]

Karen and John -- Not only among the greatest singers of the 20th Century, but two wonderful and incredibly decent people. Why do such excellent people die befoe the creeps do?

[goingundergroud]

Rest in Peace Karen and John. Your talent is missed.

[Justmeand3]

So very cool, I never would have put these two songs together. And they perform it so well. Thanks for posting this!

[dianed1962]

I loved them both so much, growing up with them...took me through those rough growing up years...beautiful angels singing in Heaven, now...but wish we still had them here on earth. He started my love for nature, with his wonderful voice...and she was my singing/drumming female idle...what voices! Thanks for the memories and putting this on here!
