karen carpenter is a great singer . Ang kangyang pagkamatay ay malaking kawalang sa larangan ng musika. I have a friend named KAREN and she said that her name was after the late KAren Carpenter because when her mother got pregnant her father that time loves to listen karen's carpenters song and then when her mother give birth her father decided to name it KAREN.
A very cleverly put together clip (esp the cuts to Tony Peluso during guitar solo/Bob Messenger - flute). Sadly, I feel this was one that Richard (gifted producer/arranger that he was) butchered somewhat. In comparison to the Anne Murray version, this arrangement comes across as excessively "flowery" & drags in places. Shame, as Karen's vocal is excellent.
I discovered The Carpenters when I was young through my elder sister, fell in love with their music and cried when I knew Karen was dead long before I was born.. I love this song and "We've only just begun"
I just Love this version!! I am a Karen fan, but I have to admit that I never realized she sang this song. I'm only familiar with Anne Murray's version. Karen sings it so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing :D
I have tons of Carpenter music...I have so many of their albums and know these songs by heart. Few artists of today can even touch the magic that Karen brought to her every piece. She had a rare gift and such a distinctive and special voice.
que voz maravilhosa, que talento desperdiçado. que pena... uma palavra que define o sentimento mais profundo da perda....(PALAVRA BRASILEIRA)SAUDADES....!!!!!!!
vmuto: go F-yourself. I too know of MANY things about the Carpenter family, stuff that because of certain individuals will never be made public. You have NO CLUE you moron.
RANDY SCHMIDT, (AUTHOR OF LITTLE GIRL BLUE) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU & ME IS THAT I RESPECT THE CARPENTER FAMILY, YOU DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO LINE YOUR POCKETS WITH AS MONEY AS YOU CAN. WITH ALL THE TIME THAT YOU PUT INTO A BOOK (THAT BY THE WAY IS MISSING ALOT) HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE A PART THE CARPENTERS THE MOST WOULDN'T GIVE YOU JACK SQUAT! YOU ARE NOT A VERY RESPECTED MAN. YOU BLOCK PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH. PS THE NAMES ARE AKA WAY AHEAD OF YOU- WE KNEW!
Best singer of all time. She has such a very deep, full, beautiful voice that sweetens the song she sings. She gives such emotion and interpretation that makes the song sound so unbelievably beautiful and unforgettable. It touches your heart. Also love the song's arrangement, sounds really great.
Is karen your favorite vocalist? If so, please go to this web site: the-top-tens.......search for "best female singer of all time" and "greatest singer of all time" and cast your vote! Bring karen to #1 where she belongs!
I like both versions from the Carpenters and Anne Murray but between the two, this version is better based on the stirring music arrangement and voice. The intimate way it's sung and performed seems to express a concealed sadness that some of us may have experienced before, and not necessarily on the subject of falling in love.
@MattWhatsGoinOn I agree with you. Anne's version was more powerful and emotional. But on the larger scale, Anne wasn't a tenth the singer Karen was. My opinion.
omg... i soooooo love this song.... my tears always fall by itself.. everytime hear this song :( she got sooooo Magical Voice.. that goes deep to your soul.... :( God Bless Karen!!! u will always be missed! You are my inspiration...
We, the people of the world, are the lucky ones....so many of us who never knew Karen, have been given the gift of her beautiful voice. Her flawless and gentle melodies and pitch perfect sound, will never fade, her voice and music live on throughout the decades, and many who are too young to remember, are now finding her and being mesmerized by Karen's gentle manner, and music. RIP beautiful lady, you will never be forgotten
There are so many people that became super famous after their untimely death even though they didn't REALLY do much. (James Dean, Monroe) But Karen brought the world a gift from heaven. There will never be another voice quite like her's. Even Celine, who is the absolute best, is only equal to Karen, but not better. Just different.
It is an amazing feeling to find the love of your life. I have been blessed with a wife that for the last 15 years I fall in love with her again each day. I love this song as it puts into words what it truly is to fall in love and only fall deeper each day. Her voice will never be eclipsed. Rest in true peace Karen, I for one truly miss you.
I was 20 yrs old when they had their first hit. I'm 62 now and it still saddens me that she died so young. Then I think of all the songs that she could have recorded from then 'till now. Songs that we've all missed.
Thanks for sharing. Love KC's singing and interpretations of songs. You always felt she was singing from the heart. No vocal gymnastics just great singing.
Interestingly, I believe the Carpenters did NOT release this song as a single .. but then Anne Murray had a top 10 hit with it the next year. In my opinion, the Carpenter's arrangement and Karen's lead vocals are far superior.
@mnlght0snt And we get to see a bit of the late, great Tony Peluso on guitar. I am saddened by his passing, but he is with Karen now. Great clip, and no there is nobody who sang like her, she is the greatest.
Beautiful song sung by a great singer. Very few in her caliber. Love Karen's intrepretations of songs. She makes it seem like she is singing it just for you. Thanks for posting.
Personally Rich could have edited this song for a single release and revamped it more for radio. Anne Murray made it to the hit chart with this song and why not the Carpenters???
I think if it had been cut down by 20-30 seconds or so this would have been a hit. Richard's arranging here, however, was too "flowery" for pop music at this time. He could have toned down the flourishes a bit.
Is Karen your favorite vocalist? If so, please go to this site: the-top-tens; search for "female singers" and "singers" and "most unique" and cast your vote. you must see some of the no-talents that are above Karen. please cast your vote!
@kaihope2000 I'm an anne murray fan as well as a karen fan (more of a karen fan, though) and while i prefer the anne version, karen's vocals have much more dimension and depth and are more touching than anne's, in my opinion.
I don't believe in god as no real evidence, but maybe due to the taking of our fantastic people like Karen Caprenter, Eve Cassidy, Aaliyah, Lisa Lopez, Selene etc, nearly Gloria Estefan and Kylie etc.. maybe we're already in hell and have to exceptional to be taken to a better place as these persons? I'll discount arsebusters like Freddie Mercury - he evern wrote a song after he found out he had aids, called 'who wants to live forever', most appropriate!
I have two words do describe Karen Carpenter PURE MAGIC! this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard, it makes you want to cry its so touching! WOW! This reminds me of Disney, like something a Disney princess would sing, Karen was a big Disney fan, so I think maybe she had that in mind when she did this. I am 26 years old, and I think my generations "singers" are TERRIBLE, nobody will ever outshine Karen, NOW or EVER! her music is so timeless. :) love you Karen
@shielae7 well I have been playing the piano since age 5 my teacher was from Juliard School Of Music, in NYC, so I had a wonderful teacher who taught me what real music is about, meaningful lyrics and singable melodies, music is supposed to have substance and meaning, something a lot of "SINGERS" these days don't get! its sad! But Karen and RIchard knew what real music is about, they created such beautiful timeless music. They are amazing. People will always love their music.
@maleficentdiva I'm 25 years old, and i totally know how u feel!!!!!!!! i love the old classics best!!!!!!!!! she has such a beautiful voice, makes ya heart ache so much!
Actually, I think this performance by Karen Carpenter is a good illustration of her extraordinary singing talents. This song is supposed to be one of Anne Murray's greatest hits, and yet Karen so much surpasses Anne Murray here
...tttar Richard considered releasing this as a single but programmers were playing shorter singles at this time. Notice how Anne Murra's version is much shorter?
shes anorexic here in these pictures staving herself, thats very SAD, I JUST CANT STOP THINKING OF HER HUNGER, RIP KAREN, THANKS FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SONGS, ITS A SHAME YOU DIED SO YOUNG, I LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED UR FILM WITH MY MAM YRS AGO
I had no idea that the late great Karen Carpenter even did a version of this song until I heard it on a local nostalgia radio station. As good as Anne Murray's more well known version is, I prefer this one due to Karen's incomparable voice. No one sang like her. I miss her to this day. Her singing never fails to almost bring a tear to my eye. What a talent. Thank you VERY much for sharing this beautiful song with us!!!
Anne Murrays version is so beautiful - she clms me as much as Karen did<3

Actually, I think this performance by Karen Carpenter is a good illustration of her extraordinary singing talents. This song is supposed to be one of Anne Murray's greatest hits, and yet Karen so much surpasses Anne Murray here

This song is sooo romantic.
There are also versions without the choir.....
I love this song and sing it all the time.
Karen Carpenters' Voice will always be the best clear Voice from the heart I ever heard.

Dear 'PAM"
Please consider applying for a restraining order. Yikes.

...I also wish that Richard and Karen would have used their own voices to overdub rather than thet choir sound.

...tttar Richard considered releasing this as a single but programmers were playing shorter singles at this time. Notice how Anne Murra's version is much shorter?

I had no idea that the late great Karen Carpenter even did a version of this song until I heard it on a local nostalgia radio station. As good as Anne Murray's more well known version is, I prefer this one due to Karen's incomparable voice. No one sang like her. I miss her to this day. Her singing never fails to almost bring a tear to my eye. What a talent. Thank you VERY much for sharing this beautiful song with us!!!
