JUST MISSED!!! "I Won't Last A Day Without You" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1974. This record was sandwiched between two No. 1 records by The Carpenters {"Top Of The World" and "Please Mr. Postman"}!!!
I was a young college student when she died, studying nursing. I cried and I cried. There is no one that compares with her voice and this music! What a wonderful time I had listening to you Karen. RIP and I can't wait to meet you in Heaven :)
I close my eyes and I am transported to a dark living room in the 70s. A moment nobody will ever see again. When I open my eyes, Im back in a 2012 dark living room, which in another 30 years, will become a place nobody will ever see.
She has one of the greatest low to mid range voices ever heard. As much as their music has been ribbed for being hokey, it still remains among the most pleasing and satisfying to ever listen to. God bless them
I was barely a teenager at the time. 30+ years later, I've grown to love Karen even more. Her voice makes the lyrics come alive in ways no other artist can, especially when she sings of loneliness. In this one, "Day after day, I must face a world of strangers, Where I don’t belong,..." And in Only Yesterday, "After long enough of being alone, Everyone must face their share of loneliness," And in Superstar, "Loneliness is such a sad affair,.." She is so authentic without being sentimental.
if the teenage kids heard this music on the radio 2day, they would probably say to themselves,,,,what kind of music is that? i say 2 u teenage kids, this is Music! Karen & Richards love songs continues 2 remind all of us 2day, that there was a time when we can actually sing along to music we use to hear on the radio:)
@roland702r not all would. I'm a teen, and I love this music. Music from the Golden Age. This is really superb. I thank my parents for introducing me to this kind of music. There is still hope for the world. :)
All this song reminds me of is fact that my biggest hero is my life was taken from me too soon. Happy Birthday Mam, there has never been a day where I've ever forgotten about you.
@davidhwalton ------- smooth ------- flowing------ perfect--------lovely-----wonderful-------gorgeous---i will always love her forever -----water.... did I mention FOREVER ever ever Karen Carpenter I love her miss her ....
@davidhwalton Don't forget that Richard was very much the brains behind the act. In the liner notes featured in the "Singles 1969-81" album/CD featured here, it was mentioned that Richard would only select the songs with the right 'elements' for Karen to perform. I can remember hearing many of their hits on the radio as a kid.
@lykerkick16 I watched the video, and I have to say that while Sarah is a good singer, her forced singing style makes her a dime-a-dozen type of singer. Her singing pales in comparison to Karen's effortless singing and silky voice which so many around the world appreciate.
@lykerkick16 I realize you didn't mean to compare the two, and that's fine. However, by inviting us to check out that singer's rendition opened the doors for comparison. ;-)
funny to think that almost everyone in class would call me "jologs" due to my choice of songs.... but really, old songs make more sense than the new ones.. right?
Teardrops and Diamonds in that wonderful alto voice... Karen's vocals had the unique ability to touch a place that few singers can, the human heart...
Nobody can sing like her. If Christina is the queen of oversinging then Karen is the queen of the opposite. Her voice is so expressive..i don't know how she does it.
glynnie has had a really bad week..........please go to you-tube site "glyn davis coepptube" and give him a big kiss and press "see all" to find his reaction.
I won't last a day without listening to Karen's voice, how can a seemingly effortless vocal delivery convey such emotion. I go weak in the presence of such musical genius.
This is the themesong of the Sarah and Gerald Movie,, LIKE THE OFFICIAL PAGE --> just search --> Won't Last A Day Without You (Sarah and Gerald) Movie
I've always, always loved this song and everything about Karen's voice. I especially love the piano reprise at the end. Sort of Richard's tribute to Karen. The Carpenters helped so many out-of-the-ordinary kids like me back in the early '70s. I will always be grateful for their beautiful music that helped me get along in those days. It still does.
RIP Karen.You had so much emotion and inspiration in your voice,I remember growing up to your music.Your brother is very very talented.I agree with what musiclady said"GONE WAY TO SOON". I wish you were still alive here singing and breathing with us.You always will be alive and forever in our hearts. I have this Carpenter's cd and it is very inspirational to listen to.
I had a shocking time growing up. My step father was not the greatest person and he was liberal with his fists. Only Yesterday and Bowie's Changes were the only albums we had in the house. I really have to thank Karen and Richard for the calm moments. For respite and for something to aspire to.
@bellsybell01 no way you are into weezer and carpenters. weezer are far more original and less poppy. And i feel sorry for you because all you had was this shit and bowie, bowie may be a reasonable excuse for an artist.
@charliesbass No one is restricting anyone's speech, dimwit. What a stupid comment. Using your own infantile logic, I am equally entitled to exercise MY free speech by letting you know what an asshole you are. Free speech works for everyone, dimwit. And just so we are clear? The first amendment right to free speech refers to Congress making no law prohibiting free speech. This isn't Congress, dimwit.
@charliesbass And YOU'RE actually an illiterate. A grown adult, who I assume has a high school diploma, should be absolutely mortified and embarrassed not to know the difference between the words "your" and "you're".
@vaperjeff dude, im 13, i listen to rock and play bass, i havent even done my gcse's let alone my a-levels. and im brittish, we dont have diplomas, we have standards and a-levels and im not going to write every comment like im writing a newspaper report, let me learn, but you, you're funny :')
@charliesbass Even at the age of 13 you should know the difference between the words "your" and "you're".
And if you're British you should know how to spell that as well....with one "T". Also...at the age of 13 you don't know shit about music and you are in no position to criticize someone else's tastes. I have been a musician for over 30 years. I went to a music conservatory to study jazz, blues, rock, pop and all levels of composition and performance and I don't shit on other peoples tastes.
@vaperjeff yeah, but your like 50, and your still trolling on a teenager. Does it make you feel better if i misspell a few words? Does it make you feel any better? Does it benefit you in any way shape or form? I'm allowed to make a few spelling errors without some shitty old man picking me up on everything i say, i can rip on other peoples music if i want to, its my opinion, so much as its your opinion that im an asshole,if you have a probelem with me, say it to my face fucker, not online.
@charliesbass No, son. I'm not 50. And I had no idea you were a teenager until you mentioned it. And I am not "trolling" you. Look up the meaning of the phrase "internet troll" and you'll realize you have described yourself and your original comment ...not me. And, no, son..it does not make me "feel better" that you can't spell. It makes me sad about the shoddy state of the educational system. And if I were you, son, I wouldn't be challenging grown men to fights. That will end badly for you.
@vaperjeff i can spell, i just dont feel the need to be spelling immaculately on the interwebz. and that is a threat, 'I wouldn't be challenging grown men to fights. That will end badly for you.' a grown men threatening to beat up a teenager, now that sir, will end badly for you. Give me a word and i can spell it correctly☮
@charliesbass No, son. You are old enough to be able to spell SIMPLE ENGLISH WORDS without needing to proofread. Knowing the difference between the words "your" and "you're" is not a spelling mistake. They are two different words entirely. You are not a bad speller. You are illiterate and ignorant. And I am NOT threatening you. It was you that said "say it to my face fucker". That is an OBVIOUS challenge to fight. My response, however, was just general advice, not a threat. It's time to grow up
@vaperjeff OH MY GOD JUST FUCK OFF I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR SHITTY LITTLE SPELLINGS! IF YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING GROWN UP THEN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THERES ACTUALLY BETTER THINGS TO DO IN LIFE THAN TROLL KIDS! read a book, play a game, do some sport and all of the trillions of things to do instead of this!
@charliesbass Again...I am not trolling you or anyone. Look up the meaning of the phrase "internet troll" and you will clearly see that you are describing yourself and your original comment. And again...this is not about spelling. This is about the fact that you are an ignorant, obnoxious child who refuses to grow up and to have any goddamned respect for anyone but yourself. I respond because I continue to get e-mails informing me that you have left yet one more obnoxious comment. Grow up.
I always remember her with love, she was and is the most perfect vocalist..power feelings,softness and grace, and an angel for God way to soon, blessed is that she still lives on in our hearts and in our music..thank you for posting her very best song ever,listen to the words and they are forever true....
Paul William was one of the best song writers of the twentieth century. I was shocked when I googled his name and found out how many hit songs he wrote. He is right up there with Lennon and McCarthy, Elton John, Billy Joel, and Neil Diamond for song writing prowess.
Amazing music (in general), but if your practicing soloing on a guitar, Carpenters' music is great for improvising around, can really get into it and let it flow :)
I think this is one of Richard's masterful productions. I love the melodic change @ 2:15 to 2:20. I don't know what you call it musically but it sounds wonderful and Karen's vocals as usual are out of this world!
I work with anorexic teenagers and most have never been called fat. They simply have a pathological fear of the loss of control, and it manifests as not eating. Its a sucky disease.
I'm going through a stressful time and I have always loved Karen. I'm listening to this to let the tears flow. The tone of her voice is that of an angel. Never before. Never again.
@eric251982 So sorry to hear that. I think a lot of people do that. I know I do sometimes. I'm here because my 17 year old son told me he found her and was amazed by her voice. I think that reflects her timelessness. Hope your troubles have already gone or will go away soon.
does someone have a link to a site that explains to ameteurs how to record vocals that one wishes beyond hope could turn out close to this .. ? and no jokes about neumann mics.. i'm poor..
I still miss that voice, the lady and she will always be missed! I remember when they announced her death. I was so upset and could not believe that she was gone. She was one of the greatest artist/vocalist in popular music of the 20th century. She did not need 5 octaves to be amazing and her voice was pure silk wraped in velvet. This is a quality that we basically don't find anymore or rarely in today's artists. Thank you Karen for the wonderful music and memories that will never die.
I forgot how much I missed this song, Richard is such a genius for his arrangements, lyrics, playing...oh he's just a genius and Karen was his perfect match.

I can take all the madness the world has to give, but I won't last a day without Karen's voice.

Paul William was one of the best song writers of the twentieth century. I was shocked when I googled his name and found out how many hit songs he wrote. He is right up there with Lennon and McCarthy, Elton John, Billy Joel, and Neil Diamond for song writing prowess.

Amazing music (in general), but if your practicing soloing on a guitar, Carpenters' music is great for improvising around, can really get into it and let it flow :)

I'm 21 years old and can't stop listening to The Carpenters.
Karen Carpenter truly had the best voice in music, anf nobody will ever beat her.
The 13 people who disliked this video cleeeearly have never loved anybody ever.
What a woman <3

With improved treatment today, she probably would have not died. They just did not understand this disease 30 years ago.

I think this is one of Richard's masterful productions. I love the melodic change @ 2:15 to 2:20. I don't know what you call it musically but it sounds wonderful and Karen's vocals as usual are out of this world!

I'm afraid Anorexia is a little more complex than that. It's a pschyological disease as well
Purple1984Rain 5 months ago
@Purple1984Rain I'm sure, but calling someone fat can lead to it.
qdog568 5 months ago
@qdog568 not really.
I work with anorexic teenagers and most have never been called fat. They simply have a pathological fear of the loss of control, and it manifests as not eating. Its a sucky disease.

I'm going through a stressful time and I have always loved Karen. I'm listening to this to let the tears flow. The tone of her voice is that of an angel. Never before. Never again.

@eric251982 So sorry to hear that. I think a lot of people do that. I know I do sometimes. I'm here because my 17 year old son told me he found her and was amazed by her voice. I think that reflects her timelessness. Hope your troubles have already gone or will go away soon.

I still miss that voice, the lady and she will always be missed! I remember when they announced her death. I was so upset and could not believe that she was gone. She was one of the greatest artist/vocalist in popular music of the 20th century. She did not need 5 octaves to be amazing and her voice was pure silk wraped in velvet. This is a quality that we basically don't find anymore or rarely in today's artists. Thank you Karen for the wonderful music and memories that will never die.

I forgot how much I missed this song, Richard is such a genius for his arrangements, lyrics, playing...oh he's just a genius and Karen was his perfect match.

Hate to burst the bubble, but Richard didn't write it- Paul Williams did.
Paul Williams also wrote "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays"

Though loving most of her songs, this one, in particular, "speaks" to me the most.
The purity of Karen's voice and the simple piano accompaniment made this rendition the best of all versions.
