    This song brings me back to the 70s when I was just a young boy. All of my sisters and I were still living at home with my mom and dad. My dad worked in a refinery and my mom was a housewife. Dinner was always ready at 4:30pm. We’d watch “I Love Lucy” reruns on our small TV while we ate. Everyone I loved and cared about was still alive and healthy. Now, so many of the people in my life that meant so very much to me are gone. How I wish I could go back in time...but when I hear great music like this, I close my eyes, and all of those wonderful memories come rushing back into my mind.

      Unfortunately, the record label and her brother Richard forced her to come out from behind the drums in later years because they felt that she needed to be seen as the female lead singer of the group. She was so uncomfortable at the front of the stage and it contributed to her self doubt and poor self image (combined with a plethora of other things like the pressure to maintain a certain unhealthy weight, rumours of an incestuous relationship between her and her brother, not to mention constant putdowns from her mother, and her brother being the golden child, etc.). Poor Karen dealt with a lot of demons throughout her life and it's so tragic what happened to her. Like many artists, the world just chewed her up and spit her back out.

      Even though she is seen playing the drums here, almost all of their recordings, including this one, are actually Hal Blaine playing. She was a good drummer, but Blaine was the go-to drummer for studio recordings at that time.

Karen’s beautiful singing makes me tear up every time. She had the perfect voice. Flawless. There was only one. Brilliant. Great drummer, one of the best vocalists of all time. Completely trained by her own ear alone. Such a catastrophic loss all these years later. Innocent & fragile, destroyed by the press at such a young age. A single article drove her insecurities, and she ended up anorexic. So damn sad. I love and miss her so much.

Gone too soon and undoubtedly robbed us of some more beautiful music that would have been created between her and brother Richard. Reminds us that we take people in our lives too much for granted.
