  • Karen Carpenter rocks! To this day!

  • Perfect pitch... awesome songs. What a beautiful voice.

  • Some of the best produced songs. Listen to the orchestration, arrangement...... well executed by the best musicians of the time.

  • the best

    

  • WOW!!! what a MAGICAL voice!! thanks KAREN CARPENTER, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE!!!! also your brother; but(mas), he's the 2nd. just because, he was beside YOU!!!

  • eu gosto dessa musica me faz parar e refletir um pouco a vida porem uma musica trite eu acho mais gosto foi uma dupla que marcou uma geraçao nao é do meu tempo mais adoro todas as musica deles ??????

  • Why you had to pass away so young, Karen, why?! Why?! Why?!

    I am crying literally as I write this. So wonderful memories your songs bring me. . .

    Why?! Why?! Why?!

  • @MrAGBrito1 If your heart aches and you have tears listening congratulations , you're living life. Thank the folks that up load the Music so you can see and watch many yrs after the fact. On a music note I stopped growing in the late 80's and I'm 50 now . Thanks to the internet and the people that upload music to you tube i get to relive the years I hold closest to my heart . Sometimes especially listening to Karen I get quite choked up and that's okay !

  • @MrAGBrito1 With respect your missing something. KC is has not really gone as long as we remember her. In our family room we've got a signed photograph of her so that she is part of our everdays. Not sure if you could get hold of a signed one but how about putting a pic on your wall. You might find it helps. Night night KC

  • I Started High school in 1975...and I never heard anyone say they didn't like the Carpenters. Thanks for helping me through school you two!

  • Karen Carpenter has no equal.

  • A great and unique voice,i have not heard anyone to really compare,taken away so young it is a great tragedy as we could have had more of her superb talent.

  • This footage of Karen and Richard was shot at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, CA. when I was in high school. I think of this video a lot-especially every time I walk up to the red Japanese "Moon Bridge" in the Japanese Garden...This was a huge hit for The Carpenters in 1975-I remember running out and buying an "8-Track" tape with this song on it...

    There is no singing voice that will ever match Karen Carpenters.....

  • @ktypestar Ahh yes, the 8 track. Remember it well

  • @wrbegin And I still have hundreds of 8-track tapes, players, plus my dial telephones, reel-type tape recorders and vacuum-tube radios...LOL! My uncle was a nuclear physicist in Washington when I was growing up-he worked for "IDA"-Uncle Phil introduced me to Bill Lear the summer of 1970. I remember not caring about Bill Lear's airplane designs-I was impressed that he created the 8-track tape!

  • @wrbegin I drove out to the Carpenter Family crypt on Christmas Day-placed flowers at the front doors. I didn't get out there until about 3 PM-there were a lot of people there paying their respects to Karen. I sat there myself for about 30 minutes-hard to believe it's been 28 years since she died. I was driving home for the weekend from college in 1983 when I heard about Karen's death on my car radio. I was driving my blue 1972 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Couldn't believe it!!!

  • @ktypestar I think your respect for Karen speaks volumes for class. I can't envision (25 years +) after Lady Gaga's passing, people waiting to pay their respects. Humility and class (which Karen had both) go a long way.

  • @greenwich1754 Thanks for your compliment. Karen definitelyy made an impression on me growing up-Mom bought Carpenter's 8-tracks-their music was always in our house. Carpenters songs were ones I could actually understand the lyrics. (Thank you, Richard!) And Karens' voice...That one-of-a-kind, beautiful haunting voice.. I thought it was interesting Christmas Day on the drive up to Westlake Village, I kept scanning the radio-always seemed to find one of Karen's songs playing...

  • @wrbegin You know, even though I try to keep a working knowledge of music, about all I really "listen to" are the Carpenters...Everything else is mostly noise to me on the radio...LOL!

  • @ktypestar

    Anyway I could suggest other artists? There are so many. Try Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli duet The Prayer-Outstanding

  • @wrbegin Hi...I should get into music, but with so many things going on all the time in my life (I tend to be a really bad workaholic) I'm always busy....I tend to remember stuff from when I was growing up, as it has stuck with me throughout the decades-even though I may have not heard a certain song since the last century... :^)

  • @ktypestar I'm a workaholic too - you mention work, and I get drunk! Seriously, I'm sure you're productive - don't rush yourself to the grave, it will get here soon enough. I just lost my dad, as well as three other people in my life this past year - enjoy those those with whom you are blessed. Life is way too fleeting. No man is an island (if he was, he'd have to lose some serious weight!).

  • musica linda

  • Noone sounds like Karen. Godbless, sweetheart.x

  • My brain just can't fathom the fact that there are ANY dislikes on this video. 61 people clearly have no taste in music.

  • such a talent what a loss and you can understand every word shock horror and she keeps her clothes on RIP KAREN

  • yes, it was just like i was listening to you yesterday . . . .live!!!

  • Dont compare singers cause they had different tones and styles... but frankly Karen is still the best.

  • I still think Karen is singing directly to me when I watch this video.I think we have a connection....I love you girl...

  • Fantastic

  • I don't know why, when ever Carpenter release the new classic soungs track, but I still keep buying it to collect, same old songs, nothing change, haha.......They're my only one favorite singers ever.......child-teen-man...ti­ll now..................no change!

  • Karen is really a great loss in the music industry! We are missing you so much! Its really sad that I just can see you through videos.

    For me, you are the best singer of all time! I love you Karen!

  • @gheko19

    Agree 100%. The world misses her special gift!!

  • What a treasure of a singer Karen Carpenter was and will always be. She has the same birthday as my Mom, March 2nd and would be 62 years old next year( not old at all). My favorite singer of all time.

  • Inesquecível Carpenters! Voz maravilhosa da Karen! Nunca me esqueço do Mr. Fisk ensinando ingles com música dos Carpenters porque "a pronúncia da Karen era ótima!". Concordo plenamente!

  • @gforce4all What is f-------------ing wrong with you.

  • @gforce4all Many people visit this site to remember Karen for her wonderful songs and amazing voice. You decide to come in and be a Jerk-off. WTF - Stay away from here - you and your comments are not welcome.

  • @BestKACFan83 Good for you he needs to be off this site if he doesn't have anything good to say stay off.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nakane317 I don't think my comment was all that bad but since you want to cry about it I removed it.

  • @gforce4all Hey that was very nice we are all big fans here. I saw one of your other comments it is was good .

    Thanks.

  • man... would have really loved to hear her sing live.

    We love you Karen. I'll never tire of listening to your voice.

  • the best!

  • Comment removed

  • @PrinceChaloner In what way??

  • @PrinceChaloner

    I couldn't agree more.

    Thank you

  • People want to compare Karen Carpenter to everyone else out there. That alone speaks volumes for her natural talent.

    Since we can't listen to her live anymore, go check out some of her talk-show appearances where she randomly sings a segment or two during interviews, then check it against a CD. She had perfect pitch.

    Without the technology of today and singing off the couch, I'd be surprised if anyone could match her!

  • @notwaiting If she was sitting at the end of a couch singing a song over & over again & you were sitting on the othe end of the couch,you would barley be able to hear her. But when you combine the voice with the microphone, my goodness. I've seen many of the biggest names sing & Karen hands down was the Best I'm my opinion. People try to compare all these years later- that's a great compliment-, but still there will only be one Karen. Your comment is 100% correct! Thank you.

  • @vmuto1 I really like all your commets. Thanks.

  • Can you feel the pain Karen was going through? This remarkable woman extended the range from ecstatic joy to excruciating pain. This fabulous record demonstrates that range.

  • heard tell some reporter or facsimile thereof accused her of being 'fat' hence, the onset of anorexia, and ultimate demise. can't help but wonder. was the sonofabitch that created this tragedy buried in 13 small holes...or 12 maybe... head in the chest cavity.

  • Que voz Linda, uma das melhores vozes musicais de todos os tempos....

  • Karen's voice was one of a kind, that of an angel! I have listened to her music since I was a child and it just touches your heart like nobody elses music does!!

  • SAUDADES ,TINHA 6 ANOS.

  • i'll always love her voice....

  • I remember listening to Karen in the 70's she was awesome then and now.

  • To Randy Schmidt (Author of Little Girl Blue) Karma's a bitch!

  • ¿Cuando dejo el talento e ser lo importante en la industria de la música?...¿Cuando la imagen gano? Quisiera tener una voz así tan brillante pero solo hubo una Karen.

  • pueden traducir este video al español?

  • I loved Karen, she was a doll !

  • Karen had a fantastic voice, I can only imagine one, who could come close, it´s Shania Twain

  • incredible voice, awesome talent!! sadly missed. R.I.P. KAREN

  • i miss the carpenters very much karen you ill always sing yr songs even wen you are along gone babe

  • I knew Carpenter when I as a Kid... lately 1974... I was a young boy

    How I miss that time.

    José Carlos Guireli

  • i like this song

  • what a voice, clear as mountain spring,each word on each lyric precise and yet enchanting in its warmth . songs made extrordinary by this amazing haunting voice.

  • I doubt that there has ever been a better female voice. Smokey, soft and sultry. As close to perfect as I've ever heard. And so pretty. Amazing.

  • vos angelical!!!!

  • Again: I wanted to watch and listen to the classic voice that we will never experience again and I have to bypass an advertisement from Obama on his jobs program. You have no heart to step on music like this President.

  • The music is die with Karen.

  • @neves1566 No, the music lives by Karen. She´s the best. She´s the Horizon. There´s nothing beyon it.

  • Boy, this makes me cry, and I'm super masculine.

  • There will never be another Karen Carpenter. Shame she isn't with us still.

  • i WANT TO HOLD MY LOVE RIGHT NOW, PLEASE!!!!!

  • muito linda todas a s musicas q  saudade..

  • Música inesquecível!!!

  • I am a big Carpenters fan but I have to say that Karen did a great----- job on this song this is my favorite., but all her songs are great very hard to pick just one.

  • what a voice.rip.

  • my mom totally liked this song. hahah ;)

  • sinto tantas saudades. cada vez que ouço carpenters me reporto `a minha adolescência. carpenters é nota 1000.

  • Isso é o que podemos chamar de TALENTO....diferentemente de hoje em di, onde proliferam as Spears e Oncés da vida....outros tempos...

  • Comment removed

  • truly a dynamic singer,songs like this will never fade.

  • Such a moody progression its amazing, filled with hope and dissapointment.

  • Fantastic voice but her brother was the brains,sort ov like jim stienman n meatloaf.

    classic song :D

  • @djstevieg06

    Yes Richard was brilliant producer and arranger in the studio but non of the songs would be as memorable with Karen's brilliant voice. She was ALWAYS the best instrument on the record.

  • She was an amazing singer with a special voice. The only one to come close would be Ann Murray

  • It is a meaningful song for me...

    It is a Masterpiece

    It is much better than the songs nowadays...

  • 60 people dont have heart!

  • The angel came here . . . sang to us . . . and left us . . . no substitute to be found

  • though iwas not yet born on that time,i love trully this song!!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG :)

  • This song reminds when I was at kindergarden, ..so beautiful and sad :)

  • Golden voice beautiful woman God bless she is an angel along with my babay

  • Lovely song and a beautiful voice.

  • When I want to 'flash back' to the 70's all I have to do is listen to Karen.

    They provided all kinds of great 'make out' time! :-)

  • R.i.p Karen,,,you will always live through your angelic music

  • I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuu

  • Got to be the biggest loss in pop history,she had a beutifull voice R.I.P

  • @uguro great post mate.agreed.

  • big cock !

  • Yes! She had a sweet voice! She was with a angel.

    I love it music.

  • 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

  • @vmuto1 I think it is a great idea I don't think the band is that old . I saw you where having words with some person on here a while ago anyway. I am a huge fan thanks for all your post on here.

  • It is healed.

    The vocal quality is a wonderful, eternal Carpenters.

  • beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • luvly song..

  • Emmy-Lou Harris would be one. Celine Dion. Allison Kraus. etc. But Karen might be the best even out of them!

  • @toffeetigerkimba

    I like Allison Krauss' voice a lot but Celine makes me want to turn the radio off. Nobody has the rich texture of Karen's lower range and is as clear as a whistle with her pronunciation

  • @Purple1984Rain You are a million% right! Singers can imitate Elvis' voice and Frank Sinatra and others, but I've never heard any girl singer that could duplicate her's. Her voice was in a category all it''s own.

  • 3,565 people are 40 above.........

  • there was no one there for karen. her life was doomed because of richards controlling. she took the only way out. God bless you Karen. Your life was living hell but when you died instantly you hugged Jesus and He led you into your space in heaven. Jesus said "You are with Me & Richard can no longer touch you here"

  • it's really a shame that her brother was such a controlling jackass. He holds a lot of responsibility for karen's downfall.

  • so sad she not here.....

  • Karen looks so beautiful in this promotional video. She appears to be healthy and vibrant. That's how I prefer to remember her. She was absolutely "awesome"!!!

  • Oh the memories....such a beautiful voice.

  • she's one of my favorite singers of all time... too bad she went to heaven so early...Now she is singing in Heaven...God Bless her soul. I wish I had that kind of voice....just dreaming*

  • Música maravilhosa!! Karen, muitas saudades de vc.

  • The sound of her voice as clear as a bell,so unique.There won't be any like you Karen no other,others won't be able to.

  • Heaven is the place to be with Karen singing there.

  • Karen was offered a shampoo commercial after doing this video, someone must of liked the way she was walking through the flowers in this video- bet you didn't know that Mr. Little Girl Blue, she considered doing it, it never panned out, but she was flattered by the offer. Another Carpenter Tidbit that I know the fans would think was pretty cool.

  • Voz Maravilhosa!!!!!!!! Simplesmente me encanta....!!!!1

  • I remember hear voice being described as a "Voice like Honey"

    That has stuck with me for a very, very long time.................... simply because her voice is.............. "Like Honey"

    Will any of todays vocalists be recognised for the same!!!!!!!!

  • I will go on the record by saying Karen Carpenter's problem was ultimately SELF ESTEEM, that lead to her eating disorder. Over the last 10 months countless people have told me that I was right about Randy Schmidt just wanting to sell books, however pay no kudos to me. The fans usually find out the truth. I can add 25 chapters to Randy's INCOMPLETE book. The people who wouldn't talk to him will talk to me, because I would NEVER throw people of whom I Love under the bus, especially Karen.

  • Tinha 15 anos!!!! Para min foi e será uma das voz mas bonita que escutei.....

  • oh she´s my favourite definitely! it´s a pitty she died so young.

  • one of my favorite singers. Karen's voice was awesome. i really love her songs.

  • Karen and her Voice shall live on for eternity...with the angels she sings, and Heavens Choir shall never sound so sweet. I miss you to this day.

  • muito linda essa música

  • Absolutely! She had one of the best female voices ever! Probably in the top three in the world

  • @toffeetigerkimba Who're the other two?

  • @toffeetigerkimba

    I can think of one other Dusty Springfield....

  • @toffeetigerkimba whos the top one and two? for you.. =)

  • @toffeetigerkimba I beg you pardon? one of the top three voices in the world? what else need Karen to be the best? She´s the best. That´s the only truth!!!!!

  • @HorizonteAzul21

    Amen!

  • adoro todas as músicas da dupla ,mas esta em especial, que maravilha saudades da minha juventude,,,,,,,,, a gente éra feliz e nao sabia.

  • best femele voice ever better than barbra streisand and celine dion

  • Minha música favorita dos Carpenters... saudades da voz de Karen!

  • Sweet Karen, this song was so funky, the VERY BEST female voice ever = what a loss to the music industry and the world !!

  • Karen Carpenter,pena que se foi tão cedo ela foi um show a parte !!!

  • She will live for ever in our hearts.
