IMPRESIONANTE Silviaaa!!!...me emocioné mucho!!!...esta versión es antológica:los coros y el solo de piano eléctrico de Rich son colosales...gracias muchas chamigaaa!!! Besossss!!...Yerman. :-)
This is one SUPER COOL VIDEO... The Carpenters knew how to ROCK and ROLL. Karen's drumming is excellent. The entire band was a perfect collection of great artists. HALL OF FAME for sure.
Well if it makes you feel better I am a Beatles fan (i have some of their original albums) and I thought this cover was awesome. I'm discovering a side of the Carpenters I never knew. (Also just heard Calling Occupants on Interplantary Craft)
This is CRAZY FAB!! Super rare to see groovy kidz dancin' to a C's tune. Help really is tied with For All We Know as my fave tune. That organ gave me nothing short of an out of body experience when I was 10 or 11. And seeing K in all of her ecstasy ~ rockin' out on the drums ~ gives me endless joy. Love the hipster who graffiti's their name at the opening
The only other times I remember dancing to C's tunes was Please Mr. Postman at a high school dance and Calling Occupants at the 30th
A real classic -- this was recorded on Figure skating great Peggy Fleming's tv special in Squaw Valley circa 1969-70 just before the Capenter's broke through with Close to You. Just having fun and jammin' on their way to the top.
@Iwakuni8 I was wondering which TV show this was from- thanks! As a Beatles and Carpenters fan (and I've been listening to all their covers), this was quite groovy!
@ssoko Peggy Fleming was an Olympic champion figure skater, still appears occasionally as a commentator on televised figure skating. I think the show was circa 1969, just before the Carpenters broke into the big time. The show was filmed at Squaw Valley. Great post, real vintage.

With all due respect to the Beatles' fans, I agree that this is the best version of HELP that I have ever heard. It truly ROCKS!

Wow. A whole other dimension to Karen's talent. As much as I love the other stuff, almost wish they'd stuck to this style. Hmm. Thanks for posting.

Carpenters did early Beatles better than early Beatles did. Check out "Nowhere Man" and "Can't Buy Me Love"

This is actually better than the Beatles original! Shame on their record label for not releasing it as a single.

I personally wouldn't go that far. I think it's a nice twist to the original.

would Peggy Fleming have been the skater (does seem a little early for her), who had a hairstyle not unlike that which the men in the band have?

Your thinking of Dorothy Hamill, 1976. Peggy Fleming was the 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist.
