I think the rest of us know very well, if it wasn't for Karen, nobody would never ever have noticed the name Richard Carpenter.And I believe Richard him self is the first one to admit so.
@greenwich1754 Well, the thing is, she simply hits the exact key as the original record, without even looking for it."Perfect pitch" or "Perfect tonal memory", we can call whatever we want, the result is the same.I've never heard Karen off pitch, neither live nor in studio!All this is off course ...
That's true! But I guess you could say, memorizing like this (not even 0,02 flat or sharp) requires quite perfect pitch.I know experienced singers that after years on a song, not even are close when they are away from the backing.
@spiritofthewater "Wind of time" hører ikke hjemme på noen album.Den er en del av et bestillingsverk med titel "2000 Sekunder", som ble framført ved tusenårskiftet.
