One take Karen.....live, no auto-tune. Pure talent. RIP Karen.🙏🙏🙏
Yep pure talent and Karen’s pitch perfect voice ❤❤
🙏❤️🇬🇧
Only one take
The magic of Karen Carpenter, there will never be another voice like this ❤️
Her name is Karen Carpenter. The greatest female vocalist ever.
No autotune, nothing extra. Just her amazing and clear voice.
Gives me chills every time I hear her sing. Absolute perfection.
It didn't matter what kind of music you liked back in the day, when Karen's haunting voice came over the radio, everyone stopped and listened. We all knew we were hearing something truly special.
Richard Carpenter's amazing arrangements, his keyboard, harmonies and piano skills, and Karen's amazing vocals, plus the fact that Karen was one of the all-time great drummers. She could sing like that AND play the drums at the same time. Not only that, she was one take Karen, she literally sang the lyrics off a napkin on the first try. What was amazing she still thought of herself as a drummer who could also sing. John Lennon of the Beatles ran into Karen at an event and told her she had a fabulous voice, and despite all her talents, Karen didn't think he was sincere. Gone too soon at 32 to anorexia.
Frank Sinatra once said that Karen Carpenter would be the only artist that he would actually PAY to see in concert.
Thanks, Dale - I heard about the John Lennon encounter, where he told her he thought she had a beautiful voice.. and after passing, she commented to her companion (not sure who) that "he was just being nice".... wish she had been with us much longer!
When John complimented Karen and her reaction, if true, was that he wasn't sincere or was being nice, it sounds to me she was being jestful and humble and of course starstruck by John's compliment. One would have to be a thousand light-years from earth to not know how beautiful Karen's voice was. And she knew it too.
@@GinMae the
How did I not know she drummed!!?
The song has a story that makes this song even more incredible. On the day of recording it for the album, Karen forgot the music charts at home that had her lead vocal. Story goes that she wrote the words to the song on a napkin and sang from that IN ONE TAKE. The vocals and overdubs (harmonies and backing vocals - recorded by Richard and Karen) came later, but the base track lead vocal was one take OFF. A. NAPKIN!! This was an era when musicians were true musicians. No cut and paste digital bytes and song clips to make up a new song, this was crafting of songs at the height of creativity. The 70s/80s contain some of the most amazing songs ever laid down to vinyl.
There will always be a place in my heart for Karen Carpenter.
Karen Carpenter had the purest voice of all singers. We all loved her in the 70's and 80's. Rest in peace Karen!
We were very lucky to be alive when the Carpenters were opening the world to finer sounds. The first time I heard a vinyl record of 'Close To You' I listened to it at least 8 times straight. I could not help myself. Many teenagers were embarrassed to let their friends know they listened to The Carpenters, but I'll bet their friends listened to then as well. They did not get to the top of the charts so many times without an audience. I want to add that even though I want to watch a 'newcomer' react to the Carpenters, I sometimes just close my eyes and listen to her sing. She was hypnotic, don't you think? Thank you for choosing your own pace beside the millions of others, who could not push her out of their life.
No words can totally describe Karen and her talent...
Didn't she just wanna hang out in back playing the drums? But her voice was so great, no one else could've sung her brother's songs the way she did... Beautiful and Tragic story!
I think there are words that can describe her, but we simple mortals don't understand them.
@@paulk9985 Ooh! I like that! Beautiful.
How about the word "perfection"? Comes as close as humanely possible.
"Tommy Boy" is probably the greatest tribute in a movie scene. Something we can agree with! Wonderful voice and arrangement.
Karen Carpenter had such an incredible talent lost to a cruel disease. She died of one of the deadly side effects of anorexia. Never thought she was good enough. She was so very wrong. 😭
When they pushed her out from her drums it made her very body conscious
This made me 😭
@@steveyeager6177 Yes...it makes you wonder, if maybe she wouldn't have felt as much pressure to be stick thin? She might have still developed the Anorexia Nervosa, regardless, but that certainly put in on a fast track.
She was incredible, watch her playing the drums as she sings in the "Rainy Days and Mondays" video.
Saw her in Vegas in 1972 -it was magical -especially the Burt Bacharach medley .Check ou there on you tube the Bacharach medley in black and white in Australia 1972
Best concert I'd ever seen!
Today's world there is autotune ... back then they didn't have it. Its like when they invented autotune, they used Karen's voice as the master tape. Her songs are a lesson in voice control.
I remember the day she died. I was at a carnival fair ... they mentioned it over the loudspeaker ... and the entire fairgrounds got quiet. She was an incredible drummer and singer.
That was so well said about using her voice as autotune . Never thought of it like that but could be true.
Her voice was perfection.
Remember so clearly hearing she had passed, just got in from high school and put on the radio,it came on seconds after I put it on,only twice have I cried at the passing of a singer,John Lennon and Karen Carpenter.R.I.P both of you.very much missed but never, ever forgotten.always in our hearts and loved
The World was "connected" at that time and we didn't even have the internet yet. Same with the Challenger disaster. Our heroes were worth something back then and they had stolen our hearts. It was about talent; not showing off.
Great Reaction! I don't see it in these comments, but it has been said in other reactions: Karen Carpenter nailed the recording of this song in one take! Her brother, Richard, basically said it couldn't get any better than that first take. That is what you call PURE TALENT!!!
Karen Carpenter and Linda Rondstat are the 2 purest voices EVER!! RIP Karen! And now Linda cannot sing a note due to Parkinson Disease. The Carpenter s did their own back up vocals on recordings too!!
When Karen died, it was like to many they'd just lost the girl next door who had a lot of talent. I pulled the car over when I heard the announcement of her death, on the radio, I was 27, a musician, and I cried. I grew up with her voice on the radio all the time.
Same! What a sad day 😥
It is still sad today. I can’t listen to her without crying. What a voice. So melancholy and sad.
Many ppl don't know this what's sad is she died of a heart attack type issue due to ipecac over use. She suffered from bulimia because of ppl calling her chunky early on. That's why she was so so skinny as she got older. So sad.
recorded in 1 take! reading the lyrics off a napkin! and her being only 21 years old! otherworldly incredible, the voice of 2 lifetimes/generations....
Her voice was pitch perfect, usually it only took 1 take !! RIP, Karen 💔
Her voice is a warm hug, that breaks your heart.
Saying "You just wanna listen", especially on a reaction video, is probably one of the higher compliments you can give to a great talent - and Karen Carpenter is one of the best...ever.
Karen has perfect pitch and virbrata control.
Karen's one-of-a-kind voice defies description, but Richard not only coaxed her out from behind her beloved drums, he swathed her sonorous mellifluity in every soothing, suitable shade of arrangement and production to capture in immortal amber the magic she was.
She's got an amazing voice but Richard found a way to display it, show it off at its best. A diamond is beautiful but the way it's cut, the setting that's what catches people's attention. I think he doesn't quite get enough credit for his role in their success. Not that she doesn't deserve the attention, she has one of my favourite voices, but it took both of them.
Yup, they were huge n the 70's! Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter were brother and sister! She died way too soon, n her 30's of anorexia! Rainy Days and Mondays is still one of my faves by them, u will love it!
It was that ipekac syrup that killed her. Destroyed her heart muscle. ☹️☹️☹️
A reviewer from Rolling Stone magazine once said, "Karen Carpenter's voice is like the sound of a lover whispering in your ear." They came out when I was in my early teens, and to this DAY her voice still gives me goosebumps. No lie brother!! Welcome to the soundtrack of my youth.
voice like velvet that soothes the soul
The arrangement on this is magnificent. And Karen's voice? Sublime.
Karen Carpenter had the voice of an angel. One if a kind. Perfect voice.
Her name is Karen Carpenter. She performed with her brother and therefore the group name
*THE CARPENTERS*
Every time I listen to Karen Carpenter today (2022) It's Yesterday once More.
Two more favorites- Rainy Days and Mondays is more popular, but not to be overlooked is Goodbye to Love.
Goodbye to Love is sensational ... often overlooked Thank you 😊
Can't listen to Goodbye to Love without welling up. Truly magnificent.
Those are probably my two favorites too!
Goodbye To Love from 1972 and Eve, from Carpenters' 1969 debut album, are my two favourites by them. Both are Carpenter/Bettis originals, and both stemmed from Richard watching TV late at night! Goodbye To Love, as a song title but not as a song, appeared in an old Bing Crosby movie Richard saw on TV, while Eve was inspired by a Twilight Zone style show in which a guy falls in love with a mannequin in a store...
I recommend that you google the Carpenters- Richard has immense musical ability and Karen is one of the greatest singers of all time.
Karen Carpenter had such a beautiful and unique voice while her brother Richard was the songwriter. His love of instrumentation is evident! ( the instrument you heard might be an oboe, perhaps?) Karen also played drums! So very tragic that in those days the medical community didn't understand anorexia. It killed her. Such a loss! Thank you for sharing young man! 😽💋🎶
Richard didn't write "Superstar" but he did write some great songs for her
Let’s not forget that she’s also a world claSs drummer
Richard Carpenter is the geneus behind the music and Karen Carpenter the angelic voice 😍 this brother & sister duo did phenomenal music together 👌Carpenters music never fails to calms me down whenever i'm not in a good mood 😊
She was an awesome drummer who had a pure, clear, haunting, ethereal voice. I wish she hadn't left us so soon. I would love to see what she would have done.
Karen Carpenter was a phenomenal talent. Gone way too soon. When I a very young child (way before the internet) I used to wonder who the hell is that? Amazing talent!
You can feel the heartbreak in her voice.
I don't know who she was singing this for but good golly, what a love she must of have had for him or she was just that good of a singer and she wanted you to feel that.
She was such a lovely singer. RIP Karen...
Watching you listening to the carpenters is like taking someone to Disneyland for the first time. Pure Magic.
"Superstar" was a massive hit for the Carpenters in the fall of 1971. Backed with "Bless the Beasts and Children" on the B-side, the single peaked at #2 and lingered on the Billboard Hot 100 for five months. It's arguably their most respected single, for Karen's first-take performance, Richard's Grammy-nominated arrangement, and the dark and moody source material (co-written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett, with additional credit to Delaney Bramlett). For another song from the duo's deep catalog of hits, try "Rainy Days and Mondays."
I suggest "Goodbye To Love",
not only a Carpenters original
(written by Richard Carpenter
& John Bettis), but also a searing
guitar part by Tony Peluso,
along with Karen's incomparable voice
& Richard's terrific arrangements
(with him on piano).
That movie was scarring to me as a youngster.
Luther Vandross also does a beautiful version of this song. It came out about a decade after The Carpenters version.
I sat through the utter mediocrity of the film Bless the Beasts and the Children just because I liked the song so much.
@@chrisoakley5830 And I believe Luther Vandross acknowledged that he was following greatness and said of the song that "the beauty is in the sadness."
You wanna see her play the drums
Karen Carpenter, one of my all time favorite singers. She passed away in 1983, in her young 30's I believe. I was a senior in HS when she passed. It hurt my heart. One of the most gorgeous voices ever.
YES watch her playing the drums as she sings in the "RAINY DAY MONDAYS " video.
Besides all their other hits, it's not Christmas for me until I've played The Carpenter's Christmas Portrait. Through the years I've owned it as an album, 8-track, cassette, and now a remastered CD. Karen Carpenter's voice, her brother Richard's harmonies and incredible arrangements - the best.
Gone way before her time. Love her voice. Karen and her brother did an awesome job.
Her voice is stunning. Her phrasing is incredible! The most amazing voice! And her brother was genius. He did the arrangements.
Since you like the instrumentals on their music as well as Karen's glorious contralto voice, check out "I'll Say Goodbye to Love" for Tony Puluso's guitar solos. The music for the song was written by Richard Carpenter (lyrics by John Bettis), and Richard arranged and orchestrated it as well--and Puloso's extended solos in the middle of the song and at the end were his idea. He insisted Puloso not try to "soften" his playing for the Carpenters at all, and the result is stunning.
Oh I love her voice so much. She is one of my all time favorite female singers.
You can feel the melancholy.. I was spooked by it back then as a 7th Grader in Middle School.
She not only had an angelic voice, she also played the drums. She was amazing!! She and her brother Richard were a once in a lifetime duo!!
and her phrasing and breath control is AMAZING: "... and I can hardly wait - - - - - - - - - to be with you again..." she sang that phrase in one breath!
Karen had an extraordinary voice. Also check out Top of the World, Yesterday Once More, Close to You and Rainy Days and Monday's
Her voice is Positively Haunting......So Beautiful ❤️
"Carpenters... why y'all doin this to me?!" 👌🥺🙂 So true. They captivate you whether you want them to or not.
(Be sure to look up the Superstar scene in the Tommy Boy. Hilarious!)
I was in college when this song came out. I have most of their vinal which I still listen to. Their music is timeless for me. It's really a shame that Karen died so young.
Hi O., U probably have heard this song sung by the great Mr. Luther Vandross.. Ms. Karen can also sing, her voice is pure & smooth as budder
or as Mr. Bruno said smooth as a jar of Skippy.. ♠W.G.
this is live and without all that auto tune that todays so called artists use. you will be hard pressed to find someone today that does not use anything like auto tune that can match karen's voice and raw talents and for that matter many of the artists of the 60's and 70's that sang live and had the same raw talents like karen. it was a very sad day when we lost her.
The video shown here was NOT live. It is the original studio recording that they lipsynched in Nevada, for a PROMOTIONAL or PROMO video back in those days. Rainy Days and Mondays was also filmed that same day. The music you hear, as many know, was recorded when Richard wanted to get Karen to sing Superstar. He scribbled the words on a napkin and she sang it first time....she was so good and believable on those heavy singable syllable vowels....so what you are hearing is her first time recording of this song...
You hit it on the head sir when you said they know their stuff!!! Love your channel
no auto tune or other computer gimmicks. just her voice that was always in perfect pitch/tone.
My favorite Carpenters song. Karen was a gift to the world.
Figured out why Carpenters give me chills.......They BATHE you with the vocals, harmonies, and instrumentation......Like going to a muscial spa!
Karen was one-in-a-million, but so was Richard her brother. Still never bettered.
Karen and her brother Richard
Straight up one of the greatest female voices of all time. Karen, tragically passed away from the eating disorder anorexia-nervosa. Don't know why but she apparently thought she was overweight...RIP Karen. Her brother, Richard, did all the arrangements. Karen also described herself as a drummer that sings...she was good. Thanks man.
I think she had read a review that referred to her as “chubby” or something like that. I could be mistaken.
It's impossible not to fall in love with her.
Only 3 ladies can make me cry when listening to their music. Karen Carpenter, Whitney Houston and Momma Cass (The Momma's and the Poppa's). Their voices were so melodic and pure.
Her voice, the instrumentals, emotion and the stories in their songs always tugged my heart and drewme in.
Her voice is hauntingly beautiful
I saw them in concert Baton Rouge LA at 14 years old .I cried her voice is timeless.Karen an Richard Carpenter sister an brother.
Love your videos. Your reaction to The Carpenters is how i felt when was I was 19 and discovered Mozart. Lots of great music out there!! Keep exploring!! 👍🏼
Please consider a reaction video to The Cox Family. Her voice hypnotizes me. ruclips.net/video/cy1qIkbaXpY/видео.html
I read that John Lennon told Karen she was the best female singer he had heard and she thought he was making fun of her and didn't believe him. What a singer and drummer. Rip. Love from Michigan
She is so young here singing about this stuff that was her magic ❤️
Please react "Carpenters A song for you" complete versión, is amazing. And great reaction 🤗
Karen's voice was absolute perfection.
That's Karen Carpenter with her brother Richard. Such a beautiful voice. Karen was one of the all-time great drummers too.
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices of anyone ever. Died way too young. RIP KAREN✌🌻🌻
I've watched more Carpenters reaction videos than I can count. Everyone has a similar comment on Karen's vocals, except you. Did you not feel that her vocal prowess is incredible?
The orchestration is beautiful. Favorite Carpenter song. Hands down.
Back in the day when you only knew music that was played on the radio and you believed in what the artist was singing about. To You....
And you fell in love with him/her. Teenage fantasies remembered.
🌟 Superstar🌟
That's the word that describes Karen!🌟❤️
And her brother Richard!🌟
Oh...the beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter! She and her brother both knew how to play several instruments and sang! Obviously she was the lead/best singers of the two! In fact...I dont think Ive ever heard him sing by himself! You dont have to break this down! lol. Say what you want at the End of the song! lol. Its ok! 😁 She really made you feel the song!
Karen and Richard Carpenter were the Carpenters, and her voice is haunting
KAREN CARPENTERS VOICE PUNCHES THROUGH YOUR SOUL.....SHE WAS AN ANGEL ON LOAN FROM HEAVEN ABOVE.....THE DEPTH OF EMOTION IN HER VOICE....OUCH IT HURTS
This was actually a cover from another band. They changed the lyrics to "I can hardly wait to be with you again" - the original was"sleep".
Luther Vandross has a version of this song you should check out, too.
And definitely check out more from the Carpenters!
Thx! I noticed how observant you were on the first reaction of them! They really know how to decorate a song! Please do more!
Karen's the GOAT...so many more songs by them....Rainy Days and Mondays, A Song For You, Top of the World, This Masquerade and many others
I've been listening to this song since I was a tiny boy in 1971. I have the same reaction you did every time I hear it! I miss her.
I watched Thier documentary, Richard totally explains how he synced the voices, sad she’s gone too soon , one of kind singer of all time 😢
She didn't hesitate nor strained her voice. A one take and it was always phenomenal. Always a fan. They don't make music like this anymore. RIP Karen. 🎶🎶🎸🎸💕💕
Perfection. Richard and Karen made some of the most beautiful music of the 20th century. His superb arrangements and writing, their combined musicality and her pure and emotional contralto voice with his harmonies. I can listen to them all day, every day.
that's when people sing with alot of love ,that's why it is sound so beautiful
I love her lower register of her voice. One of a kind. RIP Karen ❤
Love to see your reaction to 'Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft' (Full Version) by them. If I want an absolute magical few minutes, that is my all time goto.
Her voice touches your Soul! RIP Karen!
Karen had an amazing voice and played the drums. Her brother Richard arranged the music.
What an incredible voice!
The Carpenters were a large part of my teen years. This song came out the year I graduated from high school, and is just as beautiful as it was 52 years ago!! I l always loved their music, because I am also an alto, and could always sing their songs! 😆
My parents loved them 😍 I was lucky to have grown up listening to them. And her name is Karen! Like me 😁💖🦋
This brings back so many memories from the 70's when this song came out originally. The Carpenters were my soundtrack to the 70's. Such a devastating loss for Karen to die of complications from anorexia/bulimia.
I think its about a one night encounter with a traveling music show, she met and fell in love with the guitar player, he promised to come back, she is hearing him on the radio, he has not yet come back around yet. My favorite Carpenters song.
they are the best for sure 😊❤
They sang wonderfully. I grew up listening to them.
