Love Is Surrender --Carpenters

One of my favorites from the Carpenters' second album "Close To You" from 1970.

This appearance is from "Make Your Own Kind Of Music". A show from 1971 in which KC and RC were the main stars! : )

Where do you get the videos? What treasures they are!

[AKindOfHush]

Ah, you can get them from a variety of places. People who sell Carpenters' bootlegs usually have a copy. Richard did not like "Make Your Own Kind Of Music", so that is one of the reasons it is not released. Also it would take alot of time to get permission on everything. It would also be a gamble in their minds because of the sales. I would definitely buy it!!!

I thought I had seen all the old Make Your Own Kind of Music clips, but not this one!

Well done, good post!

[AKindOfHush]

Thank you very much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! :D

Karen was so cute in that dialogue starting at 2:09...what a dream for men who are not into the 'trashy slut' type girls who dominate today. I truly hope she's now singing in the Lord's choir!

Did you notice the Carpenters logo? This is before Herb hired Craig Braun and Associates to design the Carpenters Logo' for their third album

super ............ karen  and richard

also this video is tops as it shows Karen and her excellence with the drums.

a great song spoiled by Richard. He was a good background vocalist in the singing department, but not worthy to be a soloist. He should have stuck to his day job as the keyboard man and producer.

SOMEONE must have the whole episodes, I wanna see Mark Lindsay's and Dusty Springfield's segments, too!

Great seeing Karen on the drums, and Richard singing too!!!

[Matuku35]

Great seeing Karen on the drums. I take it is a very early clip.

[ImDavidGurney]

This may be the only Carpenters' song in which Richard sings a bit of the lead.

W hat the hell was wrong with this set up?Both are out front extremely visible to the audience and cameras.They couldn't have this new and improved stage style ,they just had to take Karen off the drums and put her out front which ultimately lead to her obsession and death.IDIOTS! It is was against her liking entirely,if she only had told them to fuck off,there's noyhing they could have done about it.
