@kentaappel i'm a big fan of both the beatles and the carpenters and agree with your comment!
-
@kentaappel You are right but did you see what he said. I should just blow it off.

Everyone has their own opinion which of course is fine. What I hate is the disrespectfulness on either end when making the comments. I love this version, and it is completely different than the Beatles. There is no argument that Karen Carpenter's voice is just purely the best. John Lennon and Paul Mcartney had nothing but praise for this version. Its just different! John Lennon also liked Anne Murray's version of "You Won't See Me". Anyway, Karen.. you are so sorely missed.

@lukejake7771 But the Carpenters couldn't have done a good job on this if the Beatles didn't write the song and it ddn't exist. By the way, I love both versions
-
@PeterMarloweHDF I disagree, you can feel the longing of the lyrics in this one but both are great. After all, a great song is a great song!
-
@kentaappel Yes - I remember Richard saying he would never try to "exact copy" an original, as (a) he either couldn't, or ( b) was respectful of the original. Besides, Richard is keyboards, and Beatles were guitars (on this song). I like to use the analogy of when Shemp replaced Curly - ok, not as good as the original, but Shemp had his own style & delivery, and I grew to like him. BTW, that's funny attributing the Carpenter records to your sister!

@greenwich1754 I used to tell my rocker friends that the Capenter's albums in my record collection were my sister's that got mixed up with mine. But now I am proud to say they were mine and were always mine!
I know some Beatles fans don't like this version of this song but I think it is beautiful. Karen had the voice of an angel and Richard is an arranging genious!

@figbat1 I can work them out. My conclusion is that you are batshit crazy.

Karen's voice is EPIC.

The crazy thing about her voice is that she makes it look so easy. That sound that comes out is so soothing to the ears. Those inflections are simply amazing.
