  • How can anyone dislike this!..Such a beautiful song RIP Karen :)

  • Realmente a Karen tem uma voz marávilhosa!! partiu mas nos deixou a sua voz

  • We have many lovely singers in this world, but in my opinion there will never be any woman in this day or in the future that will ever have such a beautiful voice as Karen. She had it all!

  • superbe chanson .......toute la voix chaude et sensuelle de Karen Carpenter......

  • karen carpenter, é o romantismo em pessoa essa sim tem uma voz maravilhosa nunca na minha vida vi alguém com uma voz dessas, sou fâ de suas músicas e de sua voz maravilhosa pena que morreu tão jovem, ela tinha a voz de um cristal tão delicada amo todas as suas músicas sou muito fâ.

  • Long before autotune and other hi-tech audio devices, Karen Carpenter had a perfect pitch voice... such a pleasure to listen to her sing, I'm honored! Thank you Carpenters!

  • Parabéns pelo bom gosto. Karen foi um anjo que passou por aqui, pois só um anjo poderia ter uma voz tão linda.

  • Great song, such a beautiful voice!

  • Great song, such a beautiful voice!

  • Always loved the Carpenters. What a loss for the world.....theres been no brother & sister like them since.....

  • Is it that a little brown puppy on her shoulders from 1:39 to 1:42? Looks like she's got a puppy on her left shoulder.

  • i feel like crying when hearing this song

  • It blows my mind knowing that Karen sang this song when she was just in her teens.  Such maturity and an awareness of what her voice could do. AMAZING!!!

  • I'm amazed, I don't know this track??? something new for me from The Carpenters, Great.

  • Thanks so much for sharing this florcha34!! Though almost every KC song is wonderful miracle, this song is definitely one of my favorites!!

  • All of my life I have been waiting for someone like you

  • Loved you then Karen, love you now and always will:)

  • I haven't heard this for over 30 years. I changed the "boy lines" to "girl lines" and sang this song to my wife in our wedding in 1971. Talk about a head rush, this is a heart rush!! I think I'll sing it to her again for our 40th anniversary this summer.

  • I haven't heard this for over 30 years. I changed the "boy lines" to "girl lines" and sang this song to my wife in our wedding in 1971. Talk about a head rush, this is a heart rush!!

  • Wow. I gather that this lass is only 19 years old here and what a pair of lungs. Great voice and boy could she sing and with such soul and musicality too. Her brother composed and arranged this song. Listen to these bold harmonies build up towards the end and finish on that amazing chord. Anyone dismissing the Carpenters as "easy listening" is an idiot. THIS IS SHIT HOT STUFF!

  • Prego, Karen è veramente morta?

    Grazie

    Sal

  • good times. from good times to the chaos.

  • her best. one of the best. the riff. the riff. early best.

  • MY SISTER AND I USED TO PUT KAREN ON THE RECORD PLAYER AND LET IT PLAY ALL NIGHT--THOSE WERE THE DAYS

  • AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH JUST SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL : ) THANX

  • Beautiful voice:) You can hear the tears in her voice....

  • A gem, sung by a jewel of a voice.

  • I wept for a week, when Karen died. She sings in heaven.

  • This album took the teeny-bop song Ticket to Ride and made it an immortal classic as well as All of my Life and Don't Be Afraid.

  • From their 1st and one of their best albums,"Ticket to Ride".Amazingly after it didn't sell as well as expected ,many people at A&M records asked that The Carpenters be dropped!

  • not many sing with this passion, thanks Karen !

  • Karen, best female singer the world has had

  • love this song xxx

  • This song is so beautiful and Karen is the perfect person to sing this song

  • one of their best songs

  • Everything about Karen is simply beautiful :) her talent, her face, everything :) I really love her!

  • So many beautiful vocals from this woman. I think this is in my top 5 to touch my heart.

  • Karen es maravillosa ..pero la creadora de este video es 1000000 de veces mas maravillosa,increible ,preciosa que karen..flor es un angel que bajó del cielo y que dios la puso en mi camino..

    SER...

  • This world was truly blessed to have Karen Carpenter in it

  • I remember when this song played on their TV movie, EVERYONE wanted to know where this song came from....I wish they could do this now on an unplugged show - know what I mean??? A heaven sent voice and will remain in my heart forever...

  • a lovely song,i sing it a lot in my kitchen,i asked karen to help me sing when i was a teenager,and she did!and im so greatful to her,thank you.

  • I'm hearing a lot of their early songs for the first time ever. They were freakin' brilliant. Their first few albums destroy the long believed notion that Carpenters was "elevator music." Unfortunately their creative edge was dulled by the mid-'70's. But this stuff, wow.

  • She had such a beautiful, clear voice and you could understand every word she was singing, unlike many singers that you hear now. She also just stood and sang and never screeched or shouted any song. If someone has a good singing voice then they don't need a horde of dancers behind them jumping or gyrating all over the stage but that's what seems to sell music to young people today.

  • When I see the photo of her lying her head down, with the wedding ring showing, it makes me wanna cry.

    Oh Karen, how we miss you.

  • Karen played bass on this one.

  • just love this song r.i.p karen xxxxxxxxxx

  • This is my absolute favorite song by Karen. Her voice is so haunting.

  • This is my favority Carpenter's song. Thanks for uploading and for all your work in putting all these lovely images together. Kind regards, Jean Loyens, Belgium

  • Nice pictures so sad :( Very beautiful pictures of karen

  • i agree just perfect xxxxxxxxx

  • It's great to see the Carpenters influence reaching people who weren't even alive in their heyday. Karen's been gone for 27 years this past week (February 4th) and she remains one of the biggest inspirations I've ever had.

  • Hard to imagine she has been gone 27 years! We all miss her singing new songs!

  • @lamparalaptopiaguita LOL,RUDE,DISRESPECTFULL,CHICKE­NSHIT ASSHOLE!!!!

  • So funny!A woman who died!Whe're not in kinderkarten anymore!A bit of respect for death.

  • dis song is didiketed to d abussayf, ampatuans, and to arroyo (a.k.a. GMA)

  • say what?

  • some of the songs she sings choke me up. Such a beautiful voice and such good lyrics. This is one of them.

  • wow!!! she was so pretty with such a beautiful voice!!!!

    voice of an angel!!

  • I love karen, she was such a beautifully lady with a fantastic voice!!! all her songs are sang with such meaning and so heartfelt!! thank you for sharing!

  • ;) ... YOu're welcome.

  • I'm 17 and i'm crazy about Carpenters...i'm musician too and they are really the biggest inspiration to me and my brother pianist... <3

  • tnx for the uploader! i love the carpenters, i love old songs even im only 16 years old!!

  • To Teraniel11, I turn 63 y/o next week, & I am so very, very impressed that you, a 16 y/o today, love this music, & this song in particular. It was 1970--Fall, when I purchased the album with this masterpiece on it--Ticket To Ride. I was simply speechless, hearing this for the 1st time. Now, > 39 yrs later, to read that you are so moved--well, it gives me hope. Karens voice & Rich's arrangements were simply a Gift from God, & I miss her more each year. God Bless You, Teraniel11. Wolfsky9

  • thank you Wolfsky for your feedback!! i love carpenters ever since when i was five! i just love their music until now!! karen was an angel!!

  • It's been almost four decades since the Carpenter's graced us with their God given talent(s). Some 40 years later, there is no one who comes close. Richard's musical arrangements and Karen's extraordinary vocals, it was a musical match made in heaven!!

    If only Karen had lived!!

  • @Wolfsky9 I would have loved to have been alive when Karen and Rich were still performing, let alone when Karen was still alive. I've been listening to the Carpenters since I was a little girl (i'm 15 now), and I love them so much :). My personal favourite song has to be "A Song For You", and "The Karen Carpenter Story" is my favourite movie of all time, despite Rich's hatred of it, and it is what introduced me to the wonderful talents that are Karen and Richard Carpenter :).

  • De nada..... ;)

    QUe bueno que seas tan chiquito

    y te gusten tanto los Carpenters !!

    viste??? Son lo mejor !!

    =)

    Beso !

  • I'm 19, I love the Carpenters. I also listen to death metal and the like.

  • love this song!

  • this is the perfect Valentinesong!

  • I discovered this song by accident when I picked up their 4-cd set only 1 year ago.

    How is this song not a worldwide smash for all time? I understand its sappy and may not be everyones taste but there is no denying its beauty.

  • This wasn't released as a single from their first album, and at that time, they were unknown. If it had been released in 1970 it might have gone somewhere on the charts, but it's not a strong enough tune to be a mega hit, in my opinion.

  • Oh. My. God. Truly awesome.

  • Quintessential American love ballad-Karen's beautiful soulful alto voice and Richard's expert arranging. I was around long before Carpenters and sadly a long time after. in the 70s and 80s I wore the gooves out of their vinyl albums. Thanks to such artful posting by Florcha and you tube I can listen to them once more. I love many kinds of music but Carpenters are in a special class. Thank you

  • You're welcome popspop71 !

    Thank you very much =)

    The music (all) is Beautiful but Carpenters first !

    They're SO special !!

    Kisses from Argentina !!

  • Florcha34, what a beautiful job you did! I adore the Carpenters. Thanks!

  • Thak you Very Much Kekasol ...=)

    Kisses..

  • florcha34, Me again. I love the rare pictures you have of Karen that you've put into this video! Where did you get them? I wrote below, I thought it was to someone asking where this song was from. Now I recall, it may be somewhere else also. It's on a Boxed Set I bought of "Carpenters" 4 C.D's called"From the Top" covering their entire Career together, sadly too short. I would have loved to hear Karen's voice mature and change over the years. And to hear how the material would've evolved.TYagain

  • Comment removed

  • This is an amazing song. Is this the song that got them discovered?

  • For what it shows the movie: The KC Story

    When they were recording with Joe (I believe) he says to them that The R.C Trio sounds well but he search slightly vocal. Richard says: she can sing,,,is this song that Karen sings firstly in E major (incorrect armor for her vocal range) and then Richard apologizes and they sing it in: A major... And discovers: the karen's voice sounds wonderfully in this height.. and her contract.

  • I LOVE this song!!

  • I love this song. I heard part of it on the Karen Carpenter Story. Beautiful song ty very much!!! Great video. I have never heard this song all the way through. This is a must have for my ipod:)

  • It is on one of their c.d.'s Sorry I am too lazy to get up and look through them ALL I have sooo much Carpenter's Music! But it is on one of, I think their earlier albums. There will never be another Karen she was so SPECIAL, I LOVE AND MISS HER. Always have since her passing, thank God we have her heart that she left us in her beautiful music and voice.

  • You're welcome =)

  • i cannot get enough of this great song and Karens awesome voice.

    lots of respect!

    still holds up great in 2009.

  • this was their audition piece and they did it instrumental and the studio did not like it! Richard said my sister can sing and there you go.... This is what I was told , perhaps I am wrong...

  • Congratulations! You are listening to one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and will ever be written. Certainly one of the most beautiful voices ever. Thank you Karen and Richard.

  • another case of maybe a singers best song not the most popular one.

  • Question: How many great songs did Karen Carpenter record? Answer: A heck of a lot, thank God!

    Even if the cold and lonely world stopped caring years ago, she'll always be admired, missed, and truly loved by her adoring fans. Sadly, I'm the only one I know who cares! My dad likes a few of their hits, and I'm very thankful he got me into them, but he's no big fan.

    Trying to play The Carpenters for your friends and family may be utterly hopeless, but what do they know about good music anyway?

  • yea that comment is so true... no one in my family seems to appreciate The Carpenters... the voice of Karen and the musical arrangments are amazing... it should be enough to hook anybody in but sadly not...

  • Hey, our 19 year old son likes the Carpenters. He heard them since he was a weeee bit over 1 year old. He started singing her songs after hearing The Karen Carpenter Story over and over and over:) Could you imagine them in concert.:) WOW

  • Karen's voice is mesmerising to listen to.

    Beautiful song to: )

  • The truth is........ there are no words thats can describe how beautiful karen's voice really is.

  • She was so beautiful!! and was gifted with such a great voice. an inspiration to us all.

    God bless you Karen

  • i love this bloddy song its awesome one of my favorites

  • Wow... what a beautiful voice . RIP

  • Beautiful...almost like her autobiography in song...We miss you Karen.

  • what a fantastic voice karen had, sadly missed

  • Dreamy

  • perfect!

  • Yes I would want to know where to find sheet music for this too or better yet, an accompanying track of this?

  • Does anyone know where to find the piano sheet music for this?

  • Thank you for the beautiful song and soulful pictures!

  • You're Welcome..

    Thank you =)

  • Thank You for sharing this song with us ..

  • You're welcome !

    ;)

  • is there any video of karen singing this song

  • I've been looking for this song for YEARS, saw the part of the movie (The Karen Carpenter Story) where it was recorded and fell in love with it... Thank You Thank You Thank You :o)

  • You're Welcome ;)

  • I love this song so much.

    As we rapidly approach another aniversay of our loss, I am gladened that her music still touches my heart.

    Oh how I miss her.

  • Such a beautiful and touching song.I really miss Karen so much she had a voice of a angel.

  • Of course-- it is from Ticket to Ride. I just bought this CD three weeks ago and can't stop playing it. Karen, all of 19, sounded and played like a seasoned pro. He early drumming has never been bettered, by Hal Blaine nor any of them.

  • Incredible people hearing this song I travelled.I was until Canto of my Alma.Obrigado Karen

  • Wow, I don't know this one-- where have I been? It sounds like her extraordinary drumming with its light, jazzy feel. Her younger vocals had a sense of depth that I honestly love even more than her later work.

  • Gorgeous song, one of the best. Karen just has the most beautiful voice and I love and miss her so much x

  • I really love this song.Was a truly fan of "The Carpenters" when I was 17th.

    ThX Florcha 4 uploading !!

  • You're welcome =)

  • Thanks again and again, Florcha4, I listen and watch and my heart breaks anew every time I listen, but its such a bittersweet pain; my tears are tears of joy; you are doing the best kind of tribute to her that I can imagine. Again--thanks.

  • Thank you very much for your words, it is pretty to know that someone more enjoys so much like I of making and looking at videoes to honour our dear K.C to both to The Carpenters...

    Thank you =)

  • love this song..thanks for posting..

    She sang so well here...

  • You're Welcome =)

  • oh God!!

    why did you take her away from us so early?!!

    her voice brought us joy..

    it's still so very painful to remember that she was gone...

    Karen, wherever you are, we will never forget about you, coz you're an angel sent from heaven above and your life is truly a blessing...

    we love you and miss you terribly!!!

  • a voice made in heaven

  • Karen forever!

  • Love this song and Karens range in it. It is a wonderful song and I love the pictures in this video that you did. Karen is one of my idols and I love The Carpenters music and Karen is truly one of the best female singers that ever lived!!! Love this song and the video is awesome as well. Thanks for posting.

  • Thank you for your commentaries and the truth it is that... I coincide with you, she is only, the best, does not have comparison.

  • I love this song and Karen signs it so well. I miss her dearly. What an exceptional lady and beautiful voice. She was my hero growing up!

  • karen is the best singer

  • and...all of my life I will be waiting for 'him' to come back to me...I wish I would have told him earlier how I felt...

  • Anorexia sucks! I hate it!

  • Way to young to go like she did.

  • she has a voice like an angel. She may be gone but not forgotten.

  • Karen played bass in this song and also in "Eve."

  • The drumming in this song is especially good....

  • Awesome Karen Carpenter portraits, with at least one or two I'd not seen before. Where are you getting your collection of photos? Really enjoying your Carpenter youtube videos, thanks for all your hard work. You can't know how much I appreciate each and every work dedicated to KC.

  • And I cross so many places ... and I collect images.

    It makes me happy that you like the "videoes" Is a pleasure for my.

    Thank you very much!!!

  • This is a great song - one that builds as it progresses. Thanks for sharing the photos, especially the candid ones....

  • Thanksss... :)

  • And I thought I was the only one who liked and appreciated this song.

  • Is this one of her hits or wasnt it a hit ? and witch year is this, do u know that?
