  • love this

  • Ciao, Karen R.I.P.

  • How sad that Karen's life could not be the same as these lyrics of this joyful happy song she sang as a teen.

    "Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned...

    That love is a groovy thing

    It knows how to make you sing

    And it fills up your life with sunshine and joy

    Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give

    One of these days you'll find that's the way to live

    And living is what we all were put on this earth to do

    So come on and live and be happy

    Don't be afraid to love."

  • @mandycaly The greatest female singer to hit the earth. I am 22 years old and I love The Carpenters.

  • Reminds me of Bacharach and 1967 to 1971 Beach Boys. A very warm and charming tune.

  • This is the song that sold Herb Albert on the Carpenters!

  • I love it :) This song became the Carpenters' stepping stone to the industry... no wonder! It's lovely :)

  • Karen is still giving us "sunshine and joy," with her lovely voice and angelic charm, to this day. Thank you, Downey, CA.
