  • dedico essa linda musica para as crianças q foram assassinadas,por um covarde doido,louco, no rio de janeiro

  • thanks for sharing this song, it's bring back my memories during my childhood. I learned this song when I was in Grade six.

  • @MsDonaliza I just noticed that I never read your comments. Thank you so much for your nice remarks.

    -----------Ellen 

  • Been looking for this song all my life. It was played in the hospital play room when I was like 7. My brother and I both had pneumonia and were in together, driving the nurses crazy. Well, I got attached to this nurse named Ailene who always took care of me and gave me baths there. I got home and cried b/c I missed her so much. My mom had to call her and have her talk to me. My dad had just died and I got attached to ladies ofton. Mom wasn't really there for me much.

  • @dianne768 I think that this song brings back nice memories for a lot of people. Thank you for your sweet comments!

    ---------Ellen

  • Have you ever listened to song and for no apparent reason it just took you back to you childhood, This one does it for me!! The music combined with the video put such a big smile on my face, that my jaw hurts. Thank you so much for uploading this.......

  • @formont123 Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. I have loved the Carpenters ever since I first heard the song Close to You. The pictures I selected had been used in previous videos about the singers.

    ----------Ellen

  • Hi there from France,

    RIP KAREN CARPENTER

  • @melende1970 Greetings from Texas.  Thank you for watching my Karen Carpenter video!

    ---------Ellen

  • この歌いいですね。

  • @neo4629  Thank you for making comments!

    --------Ellen

  • Nice tribute.  And nice job!! But Lucille Ball?? A singer??

  • @elliott021 Desi is in the picture, and he sings. It is funny that you noticed that. Desi would never let Lucy sing with the band on the TV show. Gee, I wonder why.

    --------Ellen

  • My mom and I used to sing to this song when I was very young and I forgot all about it until today. We've been arguing a lot lately but we sang this song today and it was as if we were going back in time, as cliche as it sounds. Definitely one of the best days I've had in a long time. Thank God for this song.

  • @NewYorkerForGood I am so glad you found this song then. Thank you for your nice story.

    ----------Ellen

  • That's right sing! sing! sing! :D

  • @Jamy729 Thank you for your nice remarks!

    -----------Ellen

  • Excellent. We were talking about "Close to you." I have another version of the song also I never posted, I will have to get up. Another Carpenters fan joined me that I knew quite awhile ago, and we connected again (on my new channel here.) I think I will pull a more unpopular song of Karens and put up something new. There must be songs unposted. I have pretty well all that she did.

  • @RainySundayEvenings I just used pictures of singers from my other videos. I also plan to use We've Only Just Begun with a silent movie star theme later. Thank you for your nice comments. I will have to look at your channel again for more video ideas with Carpenter music. I also should make something for my ZPopZRock channel later.

    ----------Ellen

  • KAREN CARPENER IS THE BEST!!!!

  • @TheOneAndOnlyKinable  Thank you very much for your nice comments.

    ---------Ellen

  • what an amazing voice, i hope she is in heaven, o wait i know shes in heaven, may she rest in peace. best female voice i have ever heard, totaly gifted and hard work. RIP mam i wish you were here with us right now so we could hear more of that amazing voice.... RIP...

  • @TheOneAndOnlyKinable I think that Karen Carpenter is the best too.

    --------Ellen

  • A wonderful tribute to a very popular, talented big stars, I love them all.

    An excellent work. An artful image editing - spiced up with ♫ melodies that make the heart ♥ beat faster. I revel in memories.

    Thank you very much for this unique and lovely experience! *****

  • @IngridHexerl These pictures bring back a lot of memories for me too. This has turned out to be one of my most popular videos. Thank you for your nice remarks.

    ------------Ellen 

  • I have hope, Ellen.

    Your light shines brightly, illuminating many dark places.

    More than you realize. My best to you.

  • @JD03ish Actually, I have heard one of the singers talk about one of my videos on a talk show. At least, I think that she meant mine, because I did use her song with the movie star she mentioned. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

    ---------Ellen

    

  • Ellen, we need more people in the world like you.

  • @JD03ish This video has been extremely popular. I am so pleased that you found it. Thank you for watching.

    ---------Ellen

  • @Shabannie No, Ellen, I'm talking about you (the sing is, of course, beautiful). We need more positive, uplifting spirits such as yourself. Thank you for being you.

  • @JD03ish Actually, I am very sad right now because I am unemployed and I do not know when I will get the next job. But I am pleased that you think that I am positive and uplifting. I try to be, and the problem with other people is that they do not even try.

    -----------Ellen

  • @MrKingsRow So you are going to go sing a song in the shower now, I assume. I had also thought about using this song for Shirley Temple, but I found a Doris Day song for Shirley. I look forward to seeing your next video.

    ----------Ellen

  • She was such a great talent.:)

  • @wildstar1 Thank you very much for watching. I will probably use more of Karen's music eventually.

    ----------Ellen

  • Oh I know this song, too:-)

    Lovely tribute to all the stars, I think...

    Thank you for posting

    Best regards

    Satoko

  • @fairlytaleofnewyork Yes, another golden oldie! Thank you for your nice comments!

    ----------Ellen

  • The Beautiful voice of Karen is just perfect to Tribute so many wonderful stars of the screen, Nice Tribute Ellen.

  • @fraaaaaag Thank you again for your nice remarks.

    --------Ellen

  • Ellen,,,, I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I LOVE THIS SONG! You, did a great job ..... thank you!

  • @MsMousefeathers Thank you so much. It is good to see it more than once to see all of the different singers again.

    ----------Ellen

  • Marvelous entertainment! Terrific idea, Ellen, to use this great Carpenter hit sung

    by one of the finest pop voices ever...Karen Carpenter! All the photos were great

    but my favorite is the one of Pearl Bailey! All of these wonderful stars gave us

    life long pleasure even at the times when they were not particularly happy them-

    selves! Five star video! Splendid!

  • @Kievest Thank you so much for your nice remarks. For this video, I selected the song first, and then I decided the theme later. Most of the pictures are from my collections for other videos. I was trying to find a song for Shirley Temple, and I had considered using this song for her video until I found the Doris Day song for Shirley.

    -----------Ellen

  • Great parade of stars with lovely Karen Carpenter's singing to accompany - just beautiful....Fun to watch!

  • @justmusicandme It was fun to make. Thank you for your nice comments again!

    ----------Ellen

  • Wonderful vid Ellen and i love the song. and of course the marilyn photos.

  • @SGTG77 I am pleased that people like the music selection. I almost used this song in the Shirley Temple video, so I decided to just make two videos that day.

    ---------Ellen

  • Love this one too Ellen.

    Thanx so much for posting. :-))

    Angie

  • @valentinolover70 Thank you so much for your nice comments, Angie. I just selected a song for another Valentino video. I still need to collect some pictures that I have not used before.

    --------Ellen

  • I am looking forward to your new video, Ellen.

    Be sure to send it to me.

    Angie :-))

  • @valentinolover70 Great. I might work on it this weekend, but I might change my mind. 

    ---------Ellen

  • Ok Ellen. I am not in a hurry. :-))

  • Hi Ellen ,

    You certainly have put a lot of famous faces in this one ,lovely video with a beautiful song to accompany it .

    Jan

  • @JansLoveShack Thank you so much for watching! I enjoy your videos also.

    --------Ellen

  • Fabulous Ellen, I loved it. Karen Carpenter's voice is unique and peerless. It's warmth envelopes you. Even John Lennon thought she had a great voice. I loved Marilyn and Jane Russell in seamed tights but then I would wouldn't I? What sexy girls they were.

  • @MANFROMMARS46 Save the best for last, perhaps, at least in terms of pretty legs. Thank you for your nice comments.

    -------Ellen

  • i like it !

    luca

  • @gowiththewind1 Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments, Luca!

    --------Ellen

  • very nice ..uplifting but in a way a bit sad... great to see all the iconic stars but so sad we don't have them for long enough. another touching tribute Ellen.*****

  • @chrishayrider1968 Yes, missing Karen Carpenter and most of the other familiar faces is a bit sad. Well, I want them to be remembered. Thank you for your nice comments.

  • Wonderful Ellen!! Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said! I sure appreciate your videos and it is Great to hear Miss Carpenters lovely voice! Thank you!

    Jim

  • @stokedstang Thank you for your thoughtful remarks!

    --------Ellen

  • Karen Carpenter was not even a goddess?

    Beautiful this song

    There is another song that I like a lot "we´ve just begun"

    Great clip

    kisses

    Fernanda

  • @MahayaX "we´ve just begun" is much more positive, not so sad, so that might work better for a movie star tribute video. But Solitaire could be interesting, just harder to select the pictures. Thank you for the feedback. I enjoy receiving suggestions and ideas.

    ---------Ellen

  • Excellent photos, beautiful tribute, wonderful vocals and very nice song! All stars*****

    Thanks so much!

    Kisses

  • @MiMundoCreativo Thank you so much for watching! Hugs!

    ---------Ellen

  • What a wonderful collection of super-stars in your video Ellen,a truly great tribute to them all with the delightful Karen singing,what could be better !

  • @MjayzToonz Yes, they are some of my favorites. Michael Jackson was even there with Sammy Davis Jr.

    ---------Ellen

  • A great tribute to all those vintage masters and mistresses of their art - but also a great tribute to Karen Carpenter, herself a fine vocalist and a tragic loss, at such a young age, to the world of song.

  • @paulprocopolis Yes, I wish that I could buy new albums with new songs by The Carpenters. I still am saddened by the tragic loss too. Sometimes I feel like a friend has died when this happens to one of my favorites. Thank you for your thoughtful remarks.

    ----------Ellen

  • My Darling Ellen,

    This is so lovely. It is so wonderful to see these stars in vintage photos, YOU have really created a lot of Wonderful Tributes, I loved revisiting them. Love the song too, it is so SWEET.

  • @genia106 Thank you for your nice comments. I almost used this song for the Shirley Temple tribute, but then I found the Doris Day song for Shirley. That is kind of why I made a second tribute on the same day. This video was easy to make because I already had most of the pictures in a collection. I put Lucy in there even though Desi would never let her sing with the band. Ha. Then this lead to my new Lucy video.

    ----------Ellen

  • Another fine job, Ellen, thanks for sharing!

  • @lettermen1 Thank you so much for viewing this. I still have not used a Lettermen song, but I will.

    ---------Ellen

  • Beautiful video

    Excellent work

    well done my friend

    How about Solitaire, could you edit?

    kisses

    Fernanda

  • @MahayaX I almost used this song for the Shirley Temple video, but I found another sweet song for Shirley. I just downloaded the song Solitaire tonight. I have not quite figured out what to do with it yet.

    ---------Ellen

  • @MahayaX I was just listening to the song Solitaire. The song is so sad. I was thinking about using it with a cowboy western movie theme.

    -------Ellen

  • So many Holly Wood stars in this video it takes you back to a different time & the magical voice of Karen just sets the scene, Thanks Ellen...

  • @fraaaaaag I love sweet and sentimental music. For this video, I selected the song first, and when I was trying to think of a movie star to use, I decided to use pictures of the famous singers in my prior videos. Elvis is in there. Thank you for your friendship.

    --------Ellen

  • Another lovely tribute video! You find the best photos!

  • @SpringtimeSkies129 Thank you so much for your nice remarks. Most of the photos came from the collections for my other videos, so most of them were already cropped and ready to go.

    -----------Ellen

  • A Carpenters classic showcasing some fine talented singers. ;) Thanks for sharing Ellen.

  • @80stimeagain I just downloaded more music by the Carpenters. Maybe I can use something with a silent movie star later. Thank you for your nice comments.

    ---------Ellen

  • Thanks Ellen. I LOVE THIS!!! Very cheerful. Ed

    Ellen, THANK YOU!

    Doug --.

  • @CurzonRoad Thank you again!

    --------Ellen

  • You always pick the right people and songs in your videos.Poor Karen. Like so many talented people she left us at such a young age. I just looked at the one you did of Shirley Temple. The most talented of all child stars.

  • @Georgewos Thank you very much for your thoughtful remarks.

    --------Ellen

  • Beautiful tribute my dear friend really enjoyed it.

  • @Alma122509 Thank you so much for your nice comments. I am trying to sing of happy not sad today as a matter of fact.

    ---------Ellen

  • @socrates640 Yes, 'smarvelous reminds me of another song I should use later.  Thank you making nice remarks!

    ---------Ellen

    Irene.

  • @lostcathare Thank you for watching and making remarks!

    ---------Ellen

  • Awesome!

  • @paulostroff99 Thank you for your nice comments. It is unusual for me to finish two videos in one day. I am pleased that you watched it so soon after being posted!

    ----------Ellen

  • Oh Ellen, This video is a joy to view. We had so many wonderful singers and entertainers that are surely missed today. I loved the song you picked , so appropriate the song sung by Karen Carpenter. 5***** Terrific posting .

  • @ebfan41 I had been planning to do a video with the Carpenters music eventually. This time, I picked the song first, and then I selected the theme for the video. It was nice to use some of the pictures from other videos again.

    ---------Ellen

  • You know Shabannie...I always enjoy your videos. Again, this song is very nice, it's an old song, but I like old songs too...

  • @urCherieAmor Thank you for being a good friend. I love your sweet videos also. I usually emphasize older movie stars and singers, but I kind of travel around in time sometimes.

    ----------Ellen

  • Karen Carpenter was awesome.. What a voice.. cool video

  • @SIRONEDRAGON Thank you so much for being the first person to make remarks! I love her singing too.
