This is one of my favorite Carpenters songs. TORI HOLUB, YOU ARE SPECIAL👏👏👏👏👏👏. James Wilkas, excellent production👏👏👏👏👏👏. I’m looking forward to more Carpenters songs by Tori, please please!!!
When I closed my eyes and listened to this I felt transported back in time to when I was 7. It was Jan 1971 that I first heard this playing. It's not just Tori's amazing voice but I thought also this music version had Richard Carpenter all over it. I wish my dad was alive to hear this. He loved Karen Carpenter.
I never thought that I would ever hear a singing voice as magnificent as Karen Carpenter's again in my lifetime... then Tori came along : ) Thank you Tori and Jim for this wonderful Christmas gift.
OMG, I was a HUGE Carpenters fan born in 1961. They're popularity in the 70's, I was at the prime age early teen when Karen and Richard set the world on fire for they're music. They're music was truly authentic, beautiful, Karen's voice was MAGICAL. It was so beautiful, it truly moved me to tears sometimes. You young lady, I think I am listening to Karen Carpenter, you're vocals are so much like Karen's. INCREDIBLE. Wish you would tour, I think you could fill small venues. A lot of old timers BUT we would show up. You're all VERY talented 😉
Thank you Tori!!!!! It's my favorite song from The Carpenters. And it always makes me cry ❤😢 But it's a good cry because the ONE I truly love has passed away in 2005 and I never had the chance to tell her But thank you for your amazing voice and wonderful talent, and the multi talented James Wilkas! Thank you thank you!!!!❤
Agree wholeheartedly with all the priase for Tori, but can we just take a moment to celebrate just how versatile and accomplished a musician Jim Wilkas is. Wow!
Both of you are incredible. I've been a Carpenters fan since 1971 and you have transported me back to those times when I'd hear a new Carpenters tune for the first time. Thank you so much.
Been a few weeks now ..... still amazed at this gal Tori AND THE OBVIOUS PARALLEL to the incredible Karen Carpenter ...... Tori has a little better lower register and that was what made Karen special and different from other women vocal talents .... that and the PEARLY SMOOTH, VIRTUALLY PRECISE MIDDLE OF THE NOTE PITCH & VIBRATO SO CLEAN, NATURAL & SWEET ! Well we lost our Karen Carpenter some time ago ..... we have now A BEAUTIFUL, PHENOMENAL VOICE = Tori Tolub, GBjj
Absolutely perfect. I never would have thought that someone could match Richard Carpenter's ability to layer vocals. You have done it. Truly beautiful.
Astoundingly good - but just like everything Tori has done. With Jim's amazing talent and instrumental versatility, this is no longer just a popular song. It is magic. Tears of joy!
Tori is astonishingly talented. It's a crying shame that people like her are sharing their gifts in relative obscurity on small RUclips channels, while people who have to use auto-tune to fix their mumbling are raking in millions. It didn't used to be this way, and it doesn't have to be. Thank you, Tori and Jim!
I have waited for decades to hear someone properly cover Karen Carpenter. Your style honors her beautiful contralto voice, while not attempting to mimic or replicate it, and not just a tribute. Your voice and all the instrumental accompaniment are a pleasure to experience. You have blessed me beyond words. May God bless you both!
Absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful! Karen and Richard would be proud. Tori has the closest voice to Karen’s I’ve ever heard. The musicianship and production are stellar as well. 🌹
These faithful renditions bring back such memories of the early 70’s. Tori’s voice is as haunting and beautiful as Karen’s and to hear it again 50 years later brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my soul. Please keep them coming, and release an album with them and Tori’s own work so we can enjoy it forever!!
What’s there to say but bravo! Absolutely one of the best covers all around. Tori really captured Karen and the gentleman who put it together has got amazing talent!
Tori, once again you've brought me to tears, You and James are amazing. Can't wait for my favorite " Top of The World" When it comes out I'll be singing with you. Been singing it since 1972 when it first came out. Can't wait to do it again. Thank You Tori and James
Possibly to only me, for All We Know, was the best Carpenter song in its simplicity but still demanding both intense vocal control and clarity. This song was also the theme track for the period movie Lovers and Other Strangers. Beautifully performed as always by Jim and Tori. This was a big one for me guys. The archer hit his mark dead on and straight to my heart. Thanks guys for all the magic! ❤
As usual, unbelievably gorgeous and spot-on Karen-esque... Keep up the great work. Also, I know that you will have your own songs, Tori. I absolutely LOVE your music... and Jim is a great person for you to be working with, obviously... Thank you both so much! 🙂
I remember seeing the Carpenter's on several variety shows when I was young...early sixties. You've brought the music back to life. AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL...THANKS to Jim & Tori.... another Great cover. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous singing & Richard's original arrangement was played to perfection by the instrumentalists. I would love to see his Reaction to this video? Bravo 👏👏👏👏
WOW! I'm so stoked that you and James covered this song. I've been following you for over a year and was wondering if you'd sing this, my favorite Carpenters song. I realized Superstar is probably considered one of their best but this simple and sweet song has always been a tearjerker for me and you sang it so flawlessly. Thank you for it! That goes for all of you, well done!
When I thought it couldn’t get any better, Tori, your voice is maturing and you make it look effortless. From your first shorts to now, your voice is much more fuller and range is ever growing. You are an amazing talent. Jim, shall I call you “Richard” Wilkas or James “Carpenter”? Just like Tori, your production gets better each time.
Attention people of the 21st century! Wake up! This is real music!
Thank you Jim and Tori for keeping Karen Carpenters voice alive with these marvelous renditions of The Carpenters songs.
Well, I'll be back to listen to this one a few hundred more times!
ditto 😂
Me too!
I just close my eyes and listen. And for a moment, I’m transported back. Thank you.
Tori captures every bit of Karen's delivery. No words can explain what her singing does to me. Amazing.
Agreed! I felt that way about Karen waaaay back when The Carpenters first appeared.
I wish I could "like" this 10 times. Both Tori's voice, and the production are wonderful. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite Carpenters songs. TORI HOLUB, YOU ARE SPECIAL👏👏👏👏👏👏. James Wilkas, excellent production👏👏👏👏👏👏. I’m looking forward to more Carpenters songs by Tori, please please!!!
I am waiting for superstar, my all time favourite with this one having second place
Tori's voice is simply unmatchable. Each syllable she sings goes straight to your heart. The voice of an Angel....
When I closed my eyes and listened to this I felt transported back in time to when I was 7. It was Jan 1971 that I first heard this playing. It's not just Tori's amazing voice but I thought also this music version had Richard Carpenter all over it. I wish my dad was alive to hear this. He loved Karen Carpenter.
I hope Richard Carpenter told Tori how much everyone appreciates the renditions. Exceptional. More than a tribute.
I never thought that I would ever hear a singing voice as magnificent as Karen Carpenter's again in my lifetime...
then Tori came along : ) Thank you Tori and Jim for this wonderful Christmas gift.
This is a perfect rendition. Both of you bring the Carpenters into the 21st century.
This young woman is such a blessing from above! Thank you
You guys are so great together. Tears are falling.

Forgive me for not thanking James for his musical skills and helping to bring Tori to our attention. Brilliant!
Oh wow, absolutely stunning. Thank you so very much .
Brilliant again Jim and Tori. Thanks.
I would listen to Tori singing the phone book (yes I'm old)!! Her voice is pure joy!
Honey, wake up! Another perfect cover just dropped.
Agree wholeheartedly with all the priase for Tori, but can we just take a moment to celebrate just how versatile and accomplished a musician Jim Wilkas is. Wow!
I know right!!❤
Wow, thank you so much!!
I cannot believe what i hear! ❤

These tributes are precious. Thank you both, for both endearing quality and passion
Absolutely incredible! Brava Tori! ❤
Wow! Are you kidding me? This is amazing! What talent! (By the way, Tori is the best singer I've heard since Rumer. She should be a superstar!)
Masterpiece brilliantly reproduced. Thank you!
As always, beautiful. I love Tori’s singing more every time I hear us. This is magnificent!
Thank you for making me cry as I miss Karen...again.
Beautiful.
This may be the best one yet
For a moment, I’m transported back. I just close my eyes and I drink it all in. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic! Can't wait until the next one.
I got goosebumps when Tori sang her very first note !!!! James, outstanding !

Beautiful. I'm subscribing just to hear her sing again.
Absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful!
Karen and Richard would be proud. Tori has the closest voice to Karen’s I’ve ever heard. The musicianship and production are stellar as well. 🌹

Close your eyes and it’s Karen accompanied by brother Richard and top notch LA session musicians The Wrecking Crew. Superb! 👏

Just GREAT, Jimmy! And Tori is simply sublime!
Thank you my friend... you should know that I referenced YOU and your incredible performances for our next tune...
Wow!
Beautiful and captivating. I'd love to see the two of you 'live' on tour!
It would be hard for Jim to play five instruments at once, though.
@@frommatorav1 So true! There's nothing like studio magic to get that full sound.
heart breakingly beautiful
Lovelove well done Tori&JIM 😊
Absolutely gorgeous singing & Richard's original arrangement was played to perfection by the instrumentalists. I would love to see his Reaction to this video? Bravo 👏👏👏👏

Absolutely beautiful. Tori never stop until the world knows your voice. Happy holidays.
My favorite Carpenters Song. Thank you Tori.
When I thought it couldn’t get any better, Tori, your voice is maturing and you make it look effortless. From your first shorts to now, your voice is much more fuller and range is ever growing. You are an amazing talent.
Jim, shall I call you “Richard” Wilkas or James “Carpenter”? Just like Tori, your production gets better each time.
