  • Anne Murrays version is so beautiful - she clms me as much as Karen did<3

  • 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.

  • I like Anne Murray's version better, but the Carpenters were great!

  • 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.

  • one of my fav..,..

  • one of my fav!!!

  • Beautiful.

  • Tears in my eyes, seeing her with John Denver. Yeah, Karen......I fell in love again, 2 minutes ago. And I will always love you.

  • @iamintheburg The great Karen Carpenter, in my humble

    opinion, had THE prettiest voice in world history. I love some

    other female vocalists, such as Dawn Upshaw and Kiri Te

    Kanawa, but Karen Carpenter will always be No. 1 in my

    heart.

  • 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"

  • Anni Frida and Agnetha from ABBA is close to Karen Carpenters.

    I love them both.

  • The best version of the three who sang this song.

  • no other female vocalist has been able to match her, Whitney Houston is close.

  • At least we can still hear her and see her beauty.

  • When Karen died in 1983, Songwriter John Bettis lamented, "My words have lost the best voice they ever had." : (

  • i cried when she died

  • to j2

  • soothing voice, soothing music by karen.

  • Stupid Question Probably...But who was the Original Artist Karen or Anne Murray???

  • this may be the original,but Anne Murray's version is so superior,is like driving a Ford Focus vs a Ferrari. But anyway...it's all good

  • @shinyguts Dusty Springfield also recorded this song.

  • Karen,

    The one and only...one and only.

    Larry

  • i do like this version ,she make me fall in love over and over again ,

  • There is"st any like this anymore sadly.

  • Why, did you leave us so soon, we needed you.

  • Use to put these records on the stereo, and sing all day.....miss those days....suzi

  • i love her classic songs

  • RIP

  • "Where do they all go when they're already gone?"

    That's what my mom always asked me whenever she hears songs like these from yesteryears.

  • i am officially in love with karen.

  • Very romantic lyrics and lovely vocal...Karen carpenter is the best

  • 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.

    Thank you for the mvid. It's lovely.

  • Forgot that Karen did this song as did Anne Murray. Gloria Sklerov is still working and thriving. Check out her Wedding Songs website.

  • que voz maravilhosa, que talento desperdiçado. que pena... uma palavra que define o sentimento mais profundo da perda....(PALAVRA BRASILEIRA)SAUDADES....!!!!!!!

  • Моя любимая певица...

  • 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.

  • great singer

  • there is no flaw in that womans voice

  • Such A Beautiful voice

  • this song is one of my favorite...

  • Comment removed

  • @epicfailuremaster You just described my exact same childhood memories. I was born in 1971. I go back too.

    My Mom and Dad are gone to Heaven now.....this brings me right back.

  • Love this song , love Karens sticky out tooth , so cute. xxx

  • it's a beautiful song

  • Who doesnt fall in love with Karen everytime she sings? I know i do!

  • 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.

  • very nice song, may I share please .

  • 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!

  • Karen was completely unique voice has never been repeated by anyone I could listen to her for hours

  • THE SONG IS BEAUTIFUL ! THEY BOTH SING IT BEAUTIFULLY!!!!

  • 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.

  • i prefer Anne version

  • i love this song!

  • KAREN CARPENTER THE SWEETEST VOICE IN TIME. TRAGIC LOSS FOR THE WORLD.

  • Love Karen's voice, some chords different here, which is why I like Anne Murray's version best.

  • @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.

  • I'd love to hear Karen Carpenter,Anne Murray and Amy Grant together-Pure Voices!

  • Very beautiful voice and song.

  • So who wrote this song ?, so many people (stars) recorded it.

  • I like Anne Murray's version, but this one...WOW!!

  • @cmulwee001 I bet Anne said "wow" too.

  • Ouvir Karen significa viajar no tempo. Num tempo de paz, amor e fantasia. Ela sera sempre a primeira dama da musica mundial. Uma perda irreparavel.

  • May the Lord have mercy on her sweet soul.. One of the best.

  • Karen, u r always in my heart! your voice is so magical and unique!

  • 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...

  • I can't still believe that she is in heaven but on earth!

  • 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

  • JUST MAGIC ..WHAT A LOVELY SONG NOT HEARD IT BEFORE.. KC HAD AN AMAZING VOICE. HER SONGS WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

  • 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.

  • i'm going to cry if i listen all the way through.

  • what a voice! this is heaven!

  • This world of ours is definitely NOT a better place without Karen in it!!!! I miss Karen's music so very much!!!!

  • Its a pity such an ugly disease had to get hold of someone so beautiful ,,,RIP Karen Anne Carpenter..ur missed,, yesterday,today,tomorrow. xx

  • 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.

  • BEW TEA  FULL xxx

  • Possibly the most beautiful love song ever recorded. Karen, you are so missed. You had a voice of an angel. I love you.

  • Nobody can say The Carpenters stopped putting out some of the most beautiful songs after the early 70's after hearing this gem.

  • What a beautiful voice and person.

    It's sad she died so young....

  • @mowowie only the good die young. just like Lady Diana and Bob Marley

  • 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.

  • John Denver and Karen.. both gone too soon...

  • Karen Carpenter was a true American original. I fell in lover with her voice the first time I herd it. Truly magical and unique.

  • I want to walk down the isle to this song

  • one of the BEST :)

  • Karen =MAGIC she brought so much happiness to my heart

  • BEW TEA FULL. xxx

  • They actualy played some of these at my prom. What a loss, but maybe she and John Denver are together in heaven!!!

  • Watchoing these carpenter vids makes sad realizing how much I really did LOVE them.

  • There is a god this can't happen otherwise. The tears are just streaming down my face

  • can't help myself ;) I've been playing this song repeatedly now XD guess I'm addicted to Karen :)

  • She is just great.Whatever song she sung is just melt my heart.

  • 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.

  • Can't stop listening to this song . Also I love the way Karens tooth sticks out on the one side. That makes her look gorgeous don't you think. XXX

  • 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.

  • Reminds me of how much i still love you. Yeah you. The girl of everyone's dreams. xxx SAD SONG , GORGEOUS HAUNTING VOICE xxx

  • now there was a magnificent voice - how i miss her and her brother...

  • MAGIC! IT MUST BE MAGIC! Karen's voice is really magical and I love it!

  • Thanks for posting! This song for now is my most favorite Carpenters' song!

  • Listen to this in my car above the bridge of dreams everyday. xxx never forget like you told me not to.

  • Here I go again :) getting addicted to Karen's voice....hahahaha

  • maraming slmat s lhat lhat.s pagma2hal m.sn lang lagi kang nanjan at sn lagi rin aq s puso m magdaan man ang maraming taon............

  • Heard this on radio 2 last year. Reminds me of my favourite ever times. Can't play this now without crying my eyes out. xxx

  • Must have been dreaming. Or was I really lying next to you. Long for 2009 again.

  • another beautiful rendition of this song especially coming from one of the legends karen carpenter

  • One of my favorites :) Really Great! Can't compare Karen to anyone! This video presentation is great! Thanks for posting :)

  • @mnlght0snt Thank you :))

  • you did a really great job with this video

  • @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.

  • @AustralianGTR5 thumbs up

  • This came out in 1977 and Anne Murray's came out in 1979.

  • Simply Amazing :)

  • Nostalgic

  • sweet song......make me dispirited.......

  • Truly one of the sweetest voices God ever created. Karen could do no wrong...simply flawless.

  • all songs of carpenters, whether original or renditions can never be compared with others!!! magical!!!

  • I hope i dont break any hearts with this statement. But I think this is an anne murray song.

  • The greatest female vocalist of all time. RIP

  • the version of lea is more wonderful shes my one true love

  • show

  • 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.

  • lucky girl dancing with John Denver...I had such a crush on him when I was young!

  • Karen Carpenter was music's best friend

  • Listened to this song again and wow, what a performance.

  • 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???

  • Agreed.

    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.

  • Love your voice Karen

  • "I know I Just Fall In Love Again" every time I listen to you, dear sweet Karen - since 1971...

    Always love you; always miss you...

  • full of emotions truelly a unique voice,i will not tire listening to her.can't help myself but fall in love with you karen...

  • love you karen :) you still alive in our heart,,,your voice is never dies,,,

  • What a magical voice, like no others. I will love you forever Karen.

    Doug in San Jose

  • great voice, i really love her music.

  • @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.

  • It's a shame they couldn't release it as a single, it could be the hit they needed at the time.

  • 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

  • @maleficentdiva that's truth, the actually "singers" don't compare with the voice of Karen, god bless her u_u

  • @maleficentdiva , I'm very impressed, you know what music really is.

  • @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!

  • I'm parcel to Ann Murrys song. But I still enjoy Karens voice

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • shame shes married squeeze!! My advice imagine how youd feel if she wasnt? visualise it..& share pwease!!!

    this is like an online interactive drama we could be on to something, its good when im really bored or worried :) it reminds me of being loved

  • Before 2010 is here I really need to get that needle for my LongPlayer machine, cause

    The original albums of Carpenters sound so

    GREAT!

    Good Luck to all lovers!:-)

  • 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!!!

  • karen carpenter is the best and his brother,too i see myself to them

  • This is definitely the best version of this song. The orchestration is perfect.

  • Thanks, it's one of my all time favorites.

  • this is such a wonderful song. Karen carpenter has such a beautiful voice.
