Karen Carpenter Solo "Still Crazy After All These Years"

[hawkrider88]

After all these years I'm still angered about this unbelievably talented woman having left way too soon. A darn shame.

What a great take on a great Paul Simon tune! Two distinct arrangements/feels - each unique... yet, each exceptional.

Karen Carpenter is, along with Patsy Cline, my favourite female vocalist ever but I still prefer the Paul Simon version of the song. His simpler arrangement just suits it better and I think its still a song that works better with a guy singing it. Karen did plenty of awesome stuff anyway!

At 1:54...on the word AWAY. You can hear the overdubbed AWAY in her deepest range. Just chills me to hear her vocals layered like that. Just beautiful and sublime!

[Mickagume]

@cd72 Yeah! Thanks for pointing it out!...that was Karen!

Lovely to sit back and listen to Thanks Judy

this version is the best. her voice is so sexy. reminds me of late afternoon at the beach having a beer and letting my mind wander...I feel I'll do some damage one fine day...prophetic

[jekita0903]

Notice they changed the lyric from "crapped out" to "crashed out."

Karen was very clean, so that's only natural.

This I think is one of her best songs from this unreleased album. I just have never expected after all these years will be able to hear her voice again and ....I guess....miracles Do happen

[KenBerryFan]

Another great song ... thanks for posting!
