The Carpenters Tribute-The Way We Were

*This is NOT sung by Karen. I just really love the lyrics to this song and felt that it would be a good tribute to Karen and Richard, and the way they were :)

For those of you who don't know, Karen and Richard Carpenter formed the brother-sister duo, the Carpenters. They had numerous hits and were very successful, but unfortunately their music ended all too soon with Karen's untimely death due to complications of anorexia in 1983.

Since I fell for this, maybe I could give you my email address, and you could sell me some land in "Low Tide Acres, Florida."

@LarryStaples You didn't have to watch it.

You chose a very appropriate song for this video. If only we could turn back time and know as much as we do now about anorexia. I wish she was still with us, there will never be another Karen Carpenter. Love you Karen, you will never be replaced in my heart. Sleep peacefully sweet angel.

i think karen would have done a better job singing this than big-nosed babs.

muy lindo homenaje a karen y muy buena esa otra cantante tambien

Judith dhurum (seekers) was and is better but besides that Honor people with their own works, this seems insipid though I like barbara. I love to listen to all these voices, long ago the memories of good hearing but I still know who is good and all three are.

KAREN AND BARBARA BY FAR HAVE TO BE TWO OF THE BEST FEMALE SINGERS EVER TO GRACE A MICROPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

@LarryStaples You're the one that chose to watch this. Why look it up.  The Carpenters put out some great songs............

Karen would have done a beautiful version of this song. I love Karen and Barbra equally and I wouldn't say any other singer should ever, ever sing this song. Karen would have done a beautiful job. I wish I could hear it.

[scheckdj]

One great singer to another. Karen gone way too soon and Barbra still giving us beautiful music today!

Outstanding job! Thank goodness we have the Carpenters' beautiful music recorded so we will always remember "the way they were." (and yes, I know Barbara Streisand was singing this).
