Karen singing "Superstar" is chill inducing even now. Perfection.
That is my favorite song of hers. ❤️
And it’s hard to sing that first note. I heard that she never hit a wrong note. Well I’ve had my share!! The Carpenters were one of my favorite groups. I mourned the loss of her life.
Rest In Peace Karen Anne Carpenter March 2, 1950-February 4, 1983 A Star On Earth A Star In Heaven.
❤️
My 4 year old son stops at whatever he’s doing when he hears Karen Carpenter’s voice❤️ she has the most beautiful voice in the world.
aww that's so sweet
If he's that good put him on The Voice
I'm glad he loves her :)
Hi
She really did.
What happened to Karen Carpenter was so sad and took away from the world an incredibly beautiful voice at the very young age of 32.
I hope she is at peace now.
Amen
It is too bad that Karen Carpenter's tragic death brought to light that one cannot only treat anorexia nervous, but the psychology of what leads to anorexia nervous in the first place.
Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest singers (and drummer) of the 20th century. She is greatly missed; I'm glad you visited her final resting place.
Karen Carpenter will always be remembered. Gone too soon , so sad.
Rip
i still tear up about Karen Carpenter...she was so beautiful and her voice was unbelievable
Every time I hear Karen Carpenter I get chills! I don’t think we will ever get someone that sounds like her again! God bless
Karen Carpenter's voice is like no others.
Europa 17 I totally agree !
Certainly unique. You know it's her after the first word she sings.
She was a favorite singer that I imitated when I was a little girl in the 70's. Glad she was mentioned, but was sad when she died.
The best range of all female singers, low alto to high soprano. Check out the Carpenter's Christmas Portrait CD. The best Christmas album of all time.
I agree. I was ten years old when she was taken away tragically and way too soon and way too young.
Karen Carpenter had such an incredible voice.
She was one of a kind (and we're not related.... I wished)
Who else clicked quick af for this???? Love this channel!!! Lol all these people saying first comment. We all clicked on it at the same time.
I did! Lmao
I did
I did
☝️ I did
I did😂😂🇳🇱
Rest In Peace, Karen. The most beautiful voice I have ever heard ❤️
KM agree
Indeed. The Christmas Portrait CD shows her voice and Richards arrangements to a T.
Karen's music's never be gone
I still get goosebumps when I hear Karen Carpenter sing... even just a snippet...
Karen Carpenter ❤️
Never met President Reagan or his wife but I cried like a baby watching both funerals on TV
Valley Oaks is where "My Three Sons" actor Don Grady (Agrati) was cremated. Don, who played Robbie Douglas, was also on the Mousketeers and was a gifted composer who wrote the theme song for Phil Donahue's talk show. Don passed after a battle with bone cancer in 2012. Sadly there is no marker. He will forever be remembered as America's favorite son.
And his sister was Lani O'Grady (Agrati), who played Mary Bradford on "Eight Is Enough". She died at only 47 in 2001 due to alcoholism.
I'm 21 years old but I like Karen Carpenters songs like "Top of the World".
You have taste, congrats! They rocked the 1st 1/2 of the 70s like nobody's business. Their Christmas CD Christmas Portrait is a classic, bar none.
@@patcurrie9888didn't the key drop for the gas bottles work? 😭 I'm so sorry they tricked me again😭
I didnt imagine that America cemeteries were THAT beautiful. Some are real masterpieces of architecture. Your work is Great and worthy of praise and respect.
the old Pepsi bottle there getting free advertising 😄👍
I absolutely adore Karen Carpenter dearly. Every one of her songs brings me to tears and one day hope to play “close to you” at my wedding
Yay. I love Karen Carpenter. Happy that you visited her❤️
Me too! Loved that ❤️
What a voice. During the 70's her song "We've Only Just Begun" was played at almost every graduation ceremony.
David Kupferman most beautiful voice
Ever. 💖🌟
What a voice! Rosemary Clooney, Patsy Cline, Karen, Whitney Houston and Adele, the top 5 of all time! Sorry Barbara, Mariah and Celine you didn't make the cut, for limited range and bigger egos than talent.
Greta For sure. Male or female she had the most soothing and strongest angel voice on earth. One of a kind and a great loss for all of us. Not exaggerating!
That’s so neat to hear about Mr Ronald Reagan, I had no idea he was actor.
That was almost the first thing I knew about him...
@@LathropLdST . Same here. I thought everyone knew that.
Welcome back! A small story: After Ronald Reagan lay in state at the Capitol, his body was flown back to California in a 747 whose route took it on a very circuitous path across the United States (think sine wave vs. straight line), essentially trying to fly over as many states as possible before reaching his final resting place. A very 21st Century kind of farewell...I was an air traffic controller at the time, and got to monitor the jet as it passed through my airspace.
Also, Artie Shaw's version of "Begin the Beguine" is, in my very humble opinion, one of the best Big band recordings ever. thank you for honoring him here.
Starting 14:10 Karen's voice tops everything else on this video! Thank you for your kind words to Karen, Arthur! She is missed.
I miss Karen and the Reagan's even now. Karen especially because of her beautiful voice and songs. She's still one of my favorite Singers to this day. And Reagan starred in some of my favorite movies and his witty humor. . .especially his one liners that has me cracking up! I listen to then whenever I needed a cheer up.
Two things I like most about this channel are the historical flashbacks of people we brought into our homes and hearts and the reminder that in the end, we are all just human.
Karen Carpenter’s voice is so instantly recognizable. As soon as you hear her sing, you’re captivated by her perfect tone, her crystal clear articulation of the lyrics. Arguably the best female pop vocalist of all time.
Welcome back, you were missed Mr. Dark
He is buried at forest lawn memorial park (Hollywood hills)
The view from Reagan's grave is breathtaking.
RIP Karen Carpenter 🇧🇷🌷
Yay! Loved Karen Carpenter! Thanks Arthur!
She was the best and humble!
Karen Carpenter... what an extraordinary Lady... died too soon. Unforgotten. She's my Idol because of her friendly and warm-hearted being. Thank you, Karen. You brought so much joy to so many people. You are missed.
Poor darling Karen, some idiot made a comment about her being chubby and it stayed with her. She was a very talented lady.
You are chubby
Reagan was the first president that I watched being inaugurated. His speach "Tear down this wall" still gives me the chills.
RR was the very first presidential candidate I even voted for in the 1976 Nebraska primary. He won Nebraska as I remember but lost the primary. I have always admired him for his conservative perspectives.
Thank you Arthur. It's been awhile. Bad time to bring this up but I'm still mourning the loss of Eddie Money and Valerie Harper..and now Ric Ocasek, lead singer from the rock band The Cars..
mark valerie harper place grave new Hollywood forever cemetrey
I know...it seems like before u k ow it everyone we admire will b gone...then what????
Rafael Campos ( 3:51 ) was one of my favorite character actors.
My two favorite performances (please don't make me choose which one is #1) is his big screen debut in 1955 as Pete V. Morales in "Blackboard Jungle" and in 1979 as Nacho Gomez in the TV miniseries "Centennial" based on the novel by James A. Michener. Both outstanding performances from this great actor.
R.I.P. Rafael and thank you. You are missed greatly 😢.
I hadn't learned about your channel at the time this video was published, but I am so grateful you did an episode with Karen Carpenter. I've seen so many documentaries about The Carpenters, but not one of them (that I've seen) has shown her final resting place. It just dawned on me that you may have visited it in one of your episodes. You did! And I sincerely thank you for that. :D
Wonder if he'll ever do a 27 curse video of all those that died at the age of 27
Ah yes, The 27 Club.
That would be awesome!!
Good idea!
That or the resting places of the presidents
@@MrJeepsrule that would be nice to
Watching Nancy Reagan placing a single rose on Ronald's coffin once it reached the Memorial and burial place, her deep weeping and clinging to her husbands coffin ....it inspired me to write some lyrics to a song I later recorded....Have you ever been to the graveyard.....And watched a widow weep......And felt the spirit of sadness as He slowly creeps....over the souls of those standing by...as they hang their heads and cry.....Now She placed a rose on his coffin....As she stood there in black ..........and a tear rolled down her cheek, she knew her man wasn't coming back.....more lyrics are with this song....but some times things that are actually far out of your reach are close enough to take your feelings by storm. And those things spur a reaction that creates some poetic justice for what your seeing and encountering even on a televised grave yard scene. Nancy was truly beside herself....and in my song I also included this line....Now we all have our heroes and today her's is dead and gone.....and tomorrow without him she'll have to face life all alone......The tempo of living is so sweet to those who are connected by that Spiritual rib and marriage gave them a bond that was inseparable. Until death swept him away and her memories of him were all she now. When we get attached our lives become one flesh and that creates a tearing away with great agony when death occur's to one the spouses and the other is left behind. Now they are rejoined spiritually some where in the beyond again....
I've never clicked on a notification so fast in my life. Thanks Arthur!
He is soooooo, Awesome!!!!💋👍
You are the best of the past that can ever, ever ,and can never be forgotten, thank you for sharing so much h of the most of of the of it with the world!😊💋👍
Are you a 12 year old girl ? Know one cares
Wait a minute.....Karen Carpenter was at Forest Lawn in Cypress Calif.......
Your "Twilight Zone" themed show was fantastic! How about a "Dragnet" themed one next? You could play the roll of Joe Friday and someone else can play Bill Gannon as you solve the mysteries of where they are all buried.
"Just the facts, ma'am"
Love the idea.
@@whiterabbit-wo7hw Maybe I sparked the idea of the next theme. ;) I hope so. There are so many people to mention. And that is one of my favorite shows.
Better yet "just the graves ma'am"
Great idea!
Definitely a great idea.
I love your videos! Thank you so much for creating them and for educating us as well. The Carpenter mausoleum is beautiful. It’s a fitting tribute to such an amazing singer. Seeing where President and Mrs. Reagan rest was very nice. A piece of the Berlin Wall definitely deserved to be placed with President Reagan.
thank you thank you thank you. i just love karen carpenter!
Of many celebrity deaths that I would mourn the loss of over my lifetime, to this day, no celebrity death ever knocked the wind out of me as much as the death of Karen Carpenter. By the time her disease had kicked in, well, I had grown out of The Carpenters as my favorite (to put it in retrospect, I was 9 when "Close To You" was released), so I had no idea of anything being wrong. I would go to her viewing. And to give you some idea of just how much I was reeling from her death, it would take me YEARS to get the irony that when I went in to view her (there was only 2 people in the room with me, which gave me the opportunity to say goodbye to her by myself), I would not notice when I left that the day I went to view would happen to be Monday - and it was raining when I entered the chapel. And guess which song was my favorite Carpenter song? So I always saw that as a sign that Karen was there in spirit. I still miss her after all these years.
❤️
Wonderfully done, Sir. These videos absolutely break my heart. Karen Carpenter's story rips me apart. Gone way too soon. Such a mindless tragedy.
Though her story is heartbreaking, many lives have been saved because of her death. Hardly anyone had heard of anorexia at the time. Her death brought it to the mainstream.
I will be forever grateful that she and Richard made so many wonderful songs together while she was still with us.
Finally! Harry Nilsson makes an appearance on Hollywood Graveyard!
SlickNickVids Yes!! “Jump into the Fire”. Genius
Your breaking my heart, your tearing it apart so...
Did he really put the lime in the coconut ?
Absolutely love Karen Carpenter such a beautiful soul inside and out - and that voice wow!!! Taken from us so young, hope she’s at rest now
I remember waiting 4 hours in line to see Reagan in Repose. On my way back, the lights from automobiles went on as far as the I could see...all coming to pay their respects. It reminded me of the final scene in “Field of Dreams.”
Bob, Thank You. I cried during his memorial services. We will never see anyone like him again.
🤬🤬🤬
I only have one thing to say: Thank God for Arthur Dark! I missed the music, the great photography, the superb, informative narratives, and the sound of Arthur Dark's voice. Arthur makes it look so easy with respect to producing these videos. Of course, it is always great talent and tremendous dedication which makes it look so easy. Thank you so much.
Its hard to believe that just one man wrote such epic famous cartoon songs, The Flintstones, Jetsons, Josie & Pussycats, Scooby doo,, i grew up with all those shows. Thank You for covering such a great unrecognized man!
Wow! Scooby-Doo theme composer! What an honor to see his nitch- what a legend!
Thanks for including Reagan. Greatest of American Presidents that change history. Rest in peace Gipper. We hope we can have a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
I'm a Big Band Era enthusiast, and I just want to say Thank You for always including these iconic musicians and band leaders in your videos! Because of people like you their memories and legacy's will live on...Thank You!!!
YESSS!! A new upload with Karen Carpenter?! Sign me up! 😍
One of my favorite singers & one of the only ones I can sing along with because her voice was lower . . . a contralto or an alto I think?
@@karenhenry1233 Contralto. Some are alto notes but she can really hit those very low notes with clarity and precision.
Karen Carpenter, among the greatest femail singers of all time. Great video thank you so much.
Nice to see where Ruth Hussey is buried. She was a good character actress.
I absolutely adore your voice and knowledge!! Thanks for bringing us these wonderful videos!! ❤️❤️❤️ Karen Carpenter and the Reagans ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing the lives of all celebrities. I’m Persian and I highly appreciate you sharing Viguen’s graveside ❤️🙏🏻
I worked at forest lawn cypress for the last few years Karen Carpenter was interred there. Got to hear stories about her services from people who were working there when it occurred. And hear some interesting stories like how her brother insisted she be removed from the crypt when each of their parents passed to ensure she was always at the front of the crypt. She always had the craziest fans around, one that even threatened my church group at the time that was meeting on the church in the grounds there. When her and her parents were being moved to their current location, my sis was working with me and saw all of caskets being moved.
Yessssssss you’re back, you tube has been “dead” without you 😀
Welcome back from the Zone! Like so many others, I was delighted to see a new installment. Thank you for visiting Karen Carpenter’s grave. She had one of the most beautiful voices in music. The visit to the Reagan Library was informative. I especially like the panel of the Berlin Wall enshrined there. Keep up the good work ... and stay cool! 😁
Interesting about Nilsson. Never realized he had such a connection with the Beatles and his flat in England being the dying location for Cass and Moon. You learn so much about history by watching this channel. Good work!
Being a disabled person who lives in the uk I would probably never be able to get to the usa to visit my favorite stars final resting places please keep the videos coming they are awesome
My favorite was Kristoff St. John and his son. Neil is one of my favorite characters on the “Young & the Restless “!! He’s a favorite actor of mines! I was so shocked when he died! I truly feel he died of a broken 💔! He never got over the passing of his son!
Nice to see Cesare Danova included in this video (though, I believe his first name's pronounced Chez-a-ray)! I've been watching him in the short-lived '68 TV series called 'Garrison's Gorillas', to which I was recently introduced, and have been enjoying his performance thoroughly. He was also in Viva Las Vegas with Elvis!
Watching in the UK, 11pm as you do lol 🤗
I'm from the UK also I love his videos x
How I loved visiting The Reagan Library! He was a wonderful POTUS!
I was born and raised in California. I remember when Ronald Reagan was governor. Two of my favorite teachers took me to see him one night. I forget where his speech was, but I will always remember it. I was a teenager at the time.
Great job as always! You're cemetery videos are always amazing!
I really appreciate how respectful you are and giving these ppl their dignity by sharing how they left their mark in Hollywood. 🙏 Well done
Saturday was the worst day it could possibly be. Glad I caught this.
sakay west I hope things are better for you . Be blessed.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me go where you go , or I would never get to see this !
Great video! Your narrative on President Ronald Reagan gave me goose bumps. Well done!
All presidents are crooked.
and reagan was one of the worst,, and miss Davis was known as the blow job queen in hollywood,, thats how they met,,,
The Reagan Library is one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever been. I’m from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and nothing is as pretty to me as my Mountains. But the view from Reagan’s gravesite is absolutely stunning.
I know how much work these are so, I know all those who follow your channel really appreciate them. I jumped on this when I saw it pop up on my RUclips list! When I first discovered you, I did nothing but watch them until I saw them all. Thanks again, for these and for showing me my lifelong fascination for prowling through graveyards isn’t so crazy! : )
Forever fan of Karen Carpenter. Will never be another like her. I surely miss her
I got excited when I saw a new upload. Great job! Thank you for posting Karen Carpenter
Greetings once again from Merrie England. Glad you're back with another installment, Arthur. Best RUclips channel there is without a doubt. Long may it continue.
The Carpenters should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Tony has spoken.
If you grew up in the '60s and '70s, you likely grew up hearing the music of Hoyt Curtin. He wrote or co-wrote the themes to just about every TV show that came out of Hanna-Barbera Studios. It's inestimable how many children looked forward to hearing those themes every Saturday morning, and later in syndication.
Welcome back Arthur! You were sorely missed! I love these tours. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
It is so great to have you back again Arthur. I love this channel as well, definitely my favorite. Now that we have been loosing some rock legends such as Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek which is really sad of for us music fans. It very hard to hear of their passing but with channels like this, it will be nice remember them along with their great music.
Joel Hirshorn wrote "There's Got to Be a Morning After" I love that song. And Artie Shaw. And of course Karen Carpenter. That place is rich in talent.
I really miss Karen Carpenter I was glad you showed her place of peace, thank you
I waiting this video so long time you even can’t imagine
Me too!!!!! Love this shit!!😁✌
Scott Hall yeah man I feel peaceful and harmony after watching this 👏👍🏻
A sugestion of soap actors like McDonald Carey,Frances Reid, Joseph Mascolo fron Days of Our Lives and Peggy McKay.
Karen Carpenter and mr.Reagan are my favorites. THanks.
Another informative video. I knew that President Reagan had been an actor but never knew that Nancy Reagan had also been an actress. thank you for teaching me something new.
I. Could not believe that I was home and doing nothing when the notification popped up. Awesome for doing Karen Carpenter and fantastic memorial on Ronald Reagan and his late wife Nancy Reagan. Even Steve Forrest was a treat. Again awesome job
I loved that you did Kristoff St. John as I am huge fan of Young the Restless.. It was a shock to hear of his passing, seeing his grave is so sad,.
I heard it was Suicide. For Kristoff St. John. As i watch the video. Now it was said it to be Heart Failure. So which is it?
@@tinotse2007 Heart Failure
@@donnacrenshaw5972 Thanx for the confirmation
@@tinotse2007 Your Welcome. He Had A Heart Disease. But The Media Had Already, Said That It Was Suicide. That's Why I Don't Believe Everything, That The Media Say. Because That Was A Lie, Point Blank!!!
@@donnacrenshaw5972 You're Welcome. What about his Son ? Now Media says it was Suicide. Any truth in that?
Enjoyed the tour, Karen Carpenter was indeed one of the best singers in the world.
Love your voice, I can now hum the music in my sleep I’m such an aid watcher. I’ve always been so fascinated by the life and tragic death of Karen Carpenter. It bothered me terribly that her crypt was moved by your brother to be next to her parents. It has been inferred that her mother was a driver towards her anorexia nervous for being so hard on Karen aesthetically and otherwise. She was such a beautiful talent, yet so insecure and lonely. It upsets me that she lays next to her mom.
First again?! Holy sheet! 😲
I have no life.... so what? 🤷🏽♀️
*This is one of the very few channels I can’t wait to receive a notification from and I immediately like and watch. Great video as always Arthur! 😎
You are just passionate about this material, don't put yourself down lol
I would have to agree
I've never clicked so fast! I've been waiting for this tour!! We finally get to visit two of my favorite people - Karen Carpenter & Ronald Reagan. Also Virginia Mayo. Thank you so much, Arthur, for allowing me to visit a place I may never see in person. You've just made my day. :)
Jack Kirby ❤️
I was on the freeway on my way home when the cavalcade of Reagan's casket and attendants came down the opposite side. All cars stopped. Drivers and passengers and myself all got out and lined the freeway median. It was a thrilling moment for us all.
Welcome back Mr Dark. Hope you enjoyed your break! I absolutely love these videos.
I got way too excited when the notification for this video popped up!!!😄❤
SN M I think it's safe to say you weren't the only one. Even I got excited when it popped up.
Rest In Peace Kristoff St. John and Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)
Thank you for remembering Kristoff St. John. Broke my heart...
