Beautiful video 📹 ❤️

She was an out of this world singer but her drumming was amazing!!

The doctors don't know what Karen died from even after an autopsy? I feel the answer is very obvious......Karen died from a sever broken heart. She spent years trying to please everyone except herself and the toll on her emotions was too great for her to bear and slowly, unconsciously, she spiraled down.

Thank you so much.

It's a shame that her own mother did not believe in her.

Given Karen's flawless vocal control, why did they lip-sync so many of their "performances"? One feels cheated.

Phil Ramone is so right. Her voice is unbelievable, but without Richard's arrangements, it wouldn't have come through the way it did. Richard is a genius.

"An autopsy failed to determine the death of singer Karen Carpenter..." I.e., the remains of the poor woman were needlessly, criminally mutilated in the name of some perverse legal protocol.

Older richard seems like a cross between Jimmy Stewart and Tom Hanks.

Wonderful video! The 60s and 70s were great times when the best pop, rock'n'roll and music was made. The Carpenters was unik!

So now I completely see that before Taylor Swift got to the top the carpenters were top of the world.🗺️

Karen was a legend!! And her music will live on- she will never be forgotten!! RIP beautiful Karen!

RICHARD WORKED HIS SISTER TO DEATH

If her and Harry nilsson had ever sang together it would have been astronomically crazy good.

You didn't disappoint with this interview. This song always meant a lot to me and how amazing you were able to speak with Don. He's so right about music today and the low intelligence (generally) of the music. American Pie is the perfect song about America and The Music. Yes, please do a blow by blow commentary of the lyrics.

I'm 61 , always loved the Carpenters music. Cried back then when I heard of Karen's death. Cried watching this documentary . Still listen to their music and love every one of their beautiful songs. Thank you both for adding such class and talent to the music we listen to.

So hard to watch this. She was a talented and beautiful person. We lost one of the great ones too early.

Richard - your talent amazes me.

How can a Voice like this end like that 😢? Grew up with the Carpenters on 70's radio. Only got to know their story in the RUclips era.

Karen was Smoking Hot! Richard was a genius. Great family!

It's ashamed how they never listened to Karen. Never showed Karen any love at all. That's why she did what she did.

❤

You like to blow your mind with interesting music. Dive into Peruvian Jazz. 6/8ths with cajon, and very, very warm, beautifully-resolving melodies. I was blown away. Flor De La Canela Is a classic song made into sweet, sweet jazz. Then you have Marinera, which is kind of shared with Bolivia and Chile (ceacheí!), and Andean Cajamarca music, which reminds me of Chinese music (I believe there's an influence somewhere). I discovered all tonight. And then, there's Peruvian Waltz. That's🤯

I bet she would sound as good today as she did back then. Kinda like Streisand.

RIP Karen. A few people used you... Including your brother. I still listen to you. Would love the drums as well 🎉

karen had perfect picht. i get meoncoly when i hear her .Rip.

I don't like that genre of music but they transcended it and I loved their unique sound. I was really sad when Karen died.

I dont know why but when i was young ( male ) and i would hear her songs either being played or on the radio i would feel depressed and sad and to this day some of her songs can bring tears to my eyes even now 😥😥

Listening to this I just get such a weird vibe from Richard. Such a load of anger and bristling. It feels like she was being put on an awkward situation by his ego all the time and having to pander to his feelings, and the way they knocked her back for seeking her own life. I dunno, just get a weird vibe from him. But certainly a great talent she was. Must have been a bit odd at times having such a close relationship with your sibling at an age when a lot of people your age would have been meeting partners, getting married, starting new stages of their lives. Her drumming skills were incredible too.

Karen was so gifted. She had the voice of a angel. Rip karen. Thank you for being such an amazing part of our musucal history.

they would have been nothing without Karen.

1 of my all time favourite bands. I loved Karen Carpenter’s voice.

I am fan from Thailand now I'm 61years old I l the Carpenter they're nice sweet voice both Rip.Karen

I was inn fourth or fifth geade when I heard the news through a class activity in Social Studies. t qas the first time hearing such a strange disease called Anorexia Nervosa.

A legend

In a world of "Experts" who garner info from a computer instead of real life experience, You can believe Linda Perry about just how rare in terms of compassion, tone & quality K C's voice is in a world full of singers. Linda Perry has decades of experience in the music industry none of which came from a computer, But from touring with 4 non blonds and producing records for world famous singers.

her eyes are remarkably beautiful.

THANKYOU KAREN AND RICHARD. You made Life worth Living. x

The most perfect voice. So easy on the ear.

She loved everything and everyone except herself. I miss her beautiful voice.

wow, it was from a bank commercial! that's a trip

Nice tribute and Karen was amazing. Still can't believe they won Grammy for Close to you over Beatles classic Let it Be and Paul Simon's Bridge over Troubled Water which is probably the greatest ballad ever written.

Richard was very malitutive and her parents unsupportive. Terribly sad. 😢

Rumour always had it after Karen's death that Richard pushed her too hard, in uk .

Karen didnt 'trill' she had natural vibrato stupid woman!! I have my LPs and need a player!! They were so easy listening music. An era to remember. ❤ ❤

Gosh our world lost her beautiful voice too long ago

Too many of us girls got bit by the anorexia bug

I used my savings to see them, HER, at the Sheraton Ballroom - Waikiki, only to receive news of their cancelation. I tore up the tickets ( lots of $$$$), knowing I'd never see her... ever. 😢

Strange that how some of the best drummers also can sing too. Phil Collins,Jeffrey Osborne,Adam Levine and of course Karen Carpenter.

She had such a beautiful voice. She didn't need to be a sexpot. To me she was beautiful just the way she was. Her singing voice is heavenly. There is another aspect to her talent is that she was an accomplished drummer and she beat out Led Zeppelin drummer John Bahnam and Ringo Star to be the number one drummer in the world. Although she was a star she didn't have the look.
