"What I have, they used to call the blues." In the days before depression was recognised. What a line.
She had PERFECT PITCH & a voice that was pure as the fallen snow.
In my humble opinion she is the greatest female vocalist of all time
the warmth is overwhelming.
Agreed
She, Anne Murray and Hellen Reddy all had fantastic voices. Olivia Newton John too.
Me too.😅
I've thought the same for the last 50 years.
Why is it that the most talented amongst us always leave us so soon.
The Carpenters are still the Greatest 👍🇬🇧
Karen’s voice is still the purest most beautiful voice I have ever heard in all my life ♥️
Thank you for acknowledging the genius of Karen and Richard Carpenter. I was lucky enough to have experienced this music the first time around. She was one in a million!
She was a perfect mezzo soprano and an amazing drummer. She was crazily talented. Just wow.
Wasn’t her voice closer to alto?
You just listen to the most beautiful female voice ever!!❤
What a gorgeous woman and her voice was spectacular.
The most beautiful voice in all of music’s history in my opinion! She passed away only a month away from her 33rd birthday on February 4, 1983 from heart failure due to over 10 years of anorexia. If I recall correctly, she was the one who brought eating disorders out into the light. She went in for treatment for it in 1981 and was still doing amazing with her recovery. She had been staying that week with her parents in her childhood home and was getting ready that morning to spend the day with her parents. When her mother thought she was taking too long to get ready, she opened her bedroom door to check in on her and found her on the floor. She was taken to the hospital and the doctors did all they could do, but it wasn’t enough. Her heart had just taken way too much damage over the years. I grew up listening to her with my grandmother who just adored her as did I. So many fond memories with her songs. I just wish she was here today so I could tell her how much her work meant to us. ❤
Goodbye to Love. You're welcome.
Sometimes it can be difficult to hear her and to also watch her because she was such a beautiful and talented woman. You can't help but get emotional especially when you know her story. From starting as a drummer and singer with her brother and his group in college to passing away so young from the damage done to her heart from the eating disorder of anorexia nervosa. There will never be another like her.
Exactly 😢❤
True, and they were blowing up at the time she died. She wasn't just anorexic, but bulimic also. Would attend elaborate dinners and eat hardily, to hide her anorexia, then purge which combined is doublely toxic.
Yes there's no one like Karen. No one comes close.
She was definitely taken from us too soon. Before her, anorexia wasn't a condition most people were aware of.
FREAKY FACT: KAREN CARPENTER (CARPENTERS) 40th ANNIVERSARY OF HER PASSING AWAY FEB. 4, 1983 > WAS JUST '4 DAYS' FROM BURT BACHARACH PASSING FEB. 8, 2023! REMEMBER > IT WAS BURT'S SONG "CLOSE TO YOU" THAT *LAUNCHED* THE 'CARPENTERS' METEORIC CAREER (1st Song/Mega Hit) & MANY MORE FOLLOWED JUST LIKE THAT > 1 SONG RELEASES = ANOTHER HIT!!
Karen recorded this song lying flat down on pillows on the studio floor. She wanted to get that pure melancholy heartfelt feeling to really come through in her vocals. Karen truly sang from her heart❤ We miss you Karen❤
I didn't know that! Amazing! Karen , we miss you! 🙏
She was just lovely. RIP KAREN I miss you
She did mean it. In all songs. Beautiful person
The most undeniably remarkable musicians of all time,,, in my humble opinion!!!
My heart has been Carpet-bombed by this amazing duo since I was kid.
The Carpeters, we lay carpet.................and also sing!
so brilliant, brings tears to my eyes, rip dear Karen. We miss you.
The most perfect alto voice, ever. She was such a talent and died way too young.
Technically she's a contralto.
way too young!
True Alto. So rare
Greatest female voice ever bar none !
She is amazing--but a perfect orchestion---amazing.
She was happiest behind those LUDWIG'S while singing.WHAT A GIFT.
Let's not overlook the genius of Richard Carpenters musical, orchestral and vocal arrangements of this wonderful piece. Even Burt Bacharach was in awe of his work.
Richard was jealous of her stardom. She's the one who was the attraction. Not him.
Ironically, the family moved from East Haven, Ct to California to provide and support Richard’s gift, since he was a musical child prodigy. Little did they know at that time that their daughter had the God given gift as well. ⭐️⭐️
True perfectionist.
@@guitarpikchik2710- jealous? According to whom?? If anything, Richard pushed Karen to her potential, and to get out of her “comfort zone”. Not an action that would be characteristic of someone who is “jealous” of the other.
I not only loved Karen, I loved the group her brother and the other background musicians/singers
She’ll make you cry in a good way!!
Her music does speak to you, I'm 65 and it still speaks to me, best female vocalist ever.
Even over 50 years since I first heard this beautiful woman sing this, the tears still come.
Me too!
Same😢❤
Me too
That voice is ethereal, it’s the sort of voice that stops you dead in whatever you are doing in a moment and makes you listen.
Karen was a once-in-a-lifetime talent. She had such a beautiful, mesmerizing, but deeply melancholic voice that was as effortless as a summer breeze. She was also an exceptionally talented drummer, especially when you take into account very few (if any) women at the time were playing drums. In my humble opinion, she remains the best female vocalist of my lifetime. Honestly, she could sing the phonebook and it would still sound exceptional.
RIP Karen, you are sadly missed. We all just wish you saw the same beauty and talent in yourself that the rest of the world saw in you.
I agree, however I would give a honorable mention to Anne Murray as well. She's the only other artist who reminds me of Karen Carpenter vocally. Just my opinion of course. Take care and stay well.
"Melancholic" is the precise descriptive word for her tone. I would put her phrasing & control on par with Patsy Cline. The emotion elicited comes from a deeper understanding of this world, IMHO.
Totally agree!
@@rebeccalipps23 has he listened yet to the wonder that is Patsy? Her voice! It’s just beautiful.
@@donnaholland1625, I don't know. I haven't seen if he has.
I’m 60 and grew up hearing new songs from the Carpenters regularly on the radio and tv. Now you understand why the world burst into tears when we heard that she had died. We had lost that amazing voice of gold.
I grew up in the 70's and have heard this song since my earliest recollection. Karen should still be here. She remains my favorite female vocalist. She left us so much to cherish and it still makes me sad that she was taken way too soon.
Karen Carpenter's voice was a gift to all of us, and the skillful arrangements her brother wrote just enhanced it even more.
I am 56 years old a hard core rock and metal head but I will drop everything when they come on the radio and even put them on when I have a long drive . Talent is talent . Amazing what that voice does to a person’s insides . It’s beautiful, calming yet a touch of sad.
I'm a bit older than you but had the awesome 1970s knowing both Karen and Rich and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Brilliant soundtrack of life
This performance always makes me cry. Knowing what Karen suffered in her life, this just seems like a cry for help. She was pure perfection! RIP Karen.❤️
Nice. Thanks.
I like this performance because of the line that starts ". . What I feel has come and gone before . . " because that sounds like resilient Karen. I don't like how some of her fans almost wallow in the tragedy of her death.
Karen's voice is like a great big warm hug. So beautiful.
Beautifully put.
this is the analogy I’ve always used. Her voice surrounds you and wraps you
It’s sad we lost her beautiful voice. I loved the Carpenters🇦🇺🦘
As a drummer, singing and playing the drums at the same time is something I never got the hang of. One would over ride the other. Karen made it so natural and did it so well.
100%!!
Karen made it all seem so easy, so effortless, her singing as well as her drumming. Has anyone ever seen her out of breath? I don´t. It was all pure joy, especially her drumming. The contrast with her struggles in personal life makes it even more heartbreaking that she left us way too early 😢
But she left so many of us such a beautiful legacy! 🫶 Not only our generation, but also the younger generations that are rediscovering The Carpenters´ music.
That´s a heartwarming bandage for the heartbreak of losing her so early!❤
Good for you for recognizing her takent in spite if your own preference for hard rock! Her drumming talent was truly off the charts!! She and her brother had a jazz trio that won the Hollywood Battle of the bands when she was just a teenager. I don't think she was even singing at that time and thought of herself as just a drummer. Technically accurate and amazing!
Why do I always end up crying after listening to Karen….sooo beautiful❤
Her beautiful voice still enthralls me, so many years later. One of a kind. I love how the song affected you and brought out some emotions.
Her voice is recognized as one of the greatest female voices in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.
Her voice makes Angels stop and listen and Vikings fall in love with her.
The most beautiful voice ever.
An undeniably hypnotic voice. The standard of vocal talent that few can even approach. What a premature loss to the contemporary world.
The most natural singing voice. What a beautiful singer she was
Not corny. That's part of what is wonderful about music. It can instantly get past all defenses or barriers and goes right to the feelings in your heart. You feel what you feel. Accepting and understanding your feelings is a strength, not a weakness.
When I was a teenager and would hear this, it would go straight deeply into my heart. I'm 65 now and it still does that. She gets me every time.
I’m 69 and her singing still gives me the chills
Same here, and I'll be 65 this year.
I was 12 y.o. when I heard her for the first time. Her voice went right into my soul and never left. It took me a week to memorize their name (by repeatingly asking my older brothers and sister: what ´s their name again?) 🙈 but I recognized her voice from the first second, even when it was a new song I had never heard before. It was pure her voice, carried by the music and the harmonies,... Two years later, when I got english class (I´m from Belgium and I speak dutch) I got interested in the lyrics. And I found out that there was a song for every significant event or time in my life.
That ´s still the case, and I am 62.
Yeah….same😭
same, I just turned 43 and I imagine she will always do that to me
It’s not corny, it’s art. Her voice is so emotional every time that it’s difficult to not feel what she’s singing about.
Karen Carpenter was a rare talent. That voice was flawless. Love that I grew up listening to her. Inspiring. God rest her soul.
GOOSEBUMPS-I will ALWAYS be in love with her voice!!!
The Carpenters are one of the Worlds most Beautiful band to hear in the world! Thank You!!!
Perfection.
And she was playing the drums, while delivering a great vocal performance, which was heartfelt, and beautiful.
I like your comment about allowing yourself to actually listen to the words and the way that the composition came together with her amazing vocal range.
This song always makes me tear up. Even though the lyrics were written by Paul Williams and only sung by Karen, the thought that she never felt worthy or good enough (hence her anorexia) really comes through in this song and it makes me sad again just like when we lost her. So happy to see new generations enjoying her (and Richard) as well.
PAUL WILLIAMS GENIUS , his version of his song ❤️, love Karen love Paul
She was the greatest female singer of that era the 1970's and beyond, if she didn't pass away on that fateful day she would have in my opinion won more awards and Rightfully so she and her brother were a great duo and I miss her to this day, R.I.P. karen God bless your beautiful soul.
I knew this would touch you deeply and I was right. Karen's voice can pierce the soul reaching in to let you touch her feelings. Solitaire is another beautiful song from her, and I don't think people appreciate how instrumental in every song Richard was, his structuring of the songs made them timeless. Excellent reaction as usual. 👍🇬🇧
As a man I can say, her voice alone could, and did, cause a man to fall in love with her - _sight unseen._
She's the only music artist whose passing truly upsets me. If I think about it while listening to her sing, my eyes tear up. Most recently, it happened about a week ago.
@@realPenrodPooch +1 I still feel her loss. I would add Olivia Newton-John to your short list,...who coincidentally (maybe not!) was a very close friend of KC's. Also such a beautiful woman and soul, as sad as her passing was it was not the surprise of course at more than twice Karen's tragically young 32. Still, with that long-expected eventuality it was, like with Karen, "no, not HER!!" In her much longer/fuller life and despite major health challenges she was able to accomplish so much in the studio and on and off the stage. My buds, with whom I also enjoyed listening to and playing much harder/edgier music, would tease me for my love of both of these gorgeous ladies' once-in-a-generation (or two or...) music and personas,...but like many with time they've come around to appreciating what magic they missed.
Well put. I would add an often overlooked one is "(A Place To) Hideaway," I'd put right up there with the more often mentioned classics.
I'd love to see him react to "Solitaire", not many react to it.
I thought he was going to cry 😊
She was amazing.
So beautiful, rare contralto range, gorgeous tones so pure, and emotions, started crying, she was so moving. No female has ever had a sound, like Karen, and never will. I LOVED the little glottal stops, breaks, and neat little things that she did with her voicebox, that were so neat to hear, adding even more emotion.
The amazing Karen Carpenter. Her voice just pierce into your heart and she takes you to a different era. I was born in 1971. The era where The Carpenters was at the top of charts and was a global pop sensation. I only star hearing them in my elementary & HS days back in the Philippines. I fell in love with them in a heart beat.
Your comments on the beauty of RUclips, dropping barriers and letting the music speak to you is awesome. I agree 10000%
I dont know if Im the only who feel like when she started to sing, you feel dond belong to 2023 ... your soul belongs to 70s ... Her voices is CAPTIVATY ...
The greatest voice ever, perfect pitch, emotional involvement, and effortlessly playing the drums while singing.
How can you not get emotional listening to this
I believe if she had continued to sing from behind the drum kit where she felt happy and safe she would possibly be alive today. The eating disorder was more and more out of control once she was expected to be the true front person of the group. She felt exposed and her every insecurity felt magnified. Your tears do you credit. She was completely vulnerable during this performance and watching her sing about feelings of depression touches me
Absolutely agree with this. Plus she was a fantastic drummer.
Totally agree with you
I agree with you 100% on this.
You may have a point. But don't let off the fish hook the mistreatment and lack of love, caring, and understanding she did not receive from her mother Agnes.
I cry every time I hear her magnificent voice and Richard's music
I cry all the time when I hear Karen sing. As a low singer myself, she was someone I identified with early on in my childhood (born in the late 60’s) She was an icon to me. Still is. She dealt with such emotional pain and that transferred into her singing. That’s why I cry. She sings her pain and joy. Sadly her pain won out. Gone way way too soon.
I learned her mother was very manipulative and she probably had no control but started with bilimic which was her way to control her weight which resulted in her death. I am still upset about this because an amazing and talented singer like Karen should still be with us but health is a delicate subject to manipulate if you deny yourself eating properly. I wish she was still with us with her brother arranging her music together because their music means a lot to thier fans and to me
Listened to her music for years. Sort of like background music. Only lately have I come to realize how incredible her voice was.
I am a massive Carpenters fan. This song always has a way to make me tear up. Her voice is simply...divine, beautiful, angelic. The platitudes go on. She was a once in a lifetime voice. You also have to give massive props to Richard for the arrangements he knew exactly how to fit them around Karen's voice. Like many I am deeply saddened by her early, tragic passing.
One of the greatest voices in history. Gone way too soon..... You are listening with intent. Music and lyrics into the heart.
I stand on this, 10 toes down, beautiful Miss Karen Carpenter has the greatest singing voice in all the world from 1970-Present.
Perfect lyrics meet perfect arrangement, mixing and engineering- meets perfect vocalist.
It's really lovely to see how much her voice moves you, Salvo. This was the gift of Carpenters music. Richard's brilliant arrangements and Karen's magnificent voice just transported the listener. It's nearly impossible to hear a Carpenters song and not stop just to let it in.
Glad you can't see this old man. 50 years later and she still brings tears to my eyes! SUCH A TALENT! Angelic voice taken way too soon. Richard was a great keyboardist and arranger. One of the best duo's of all time. Tragic story.
The voice of a lifetime. You will never hear another Karen Carpenter. ( At least not in this world ) Rest In Peace dear Karen Anne ❤️
Very emotional listening so true to life
There are many great singers but Karen was unique with a voice of pure gold. So sad that she was taken so young.
Thank you. Instead of trying to be technical and subjecting everything about the recording to comment, you reacted. You shared your feelings. As you said, feeling something from listening to music is a good thing. Music should always draw emotion. You earned another subscriber today.
Her voice makes you feel every single emotion of this song. Her voice is so captivating.
Best female voice ever. Perfect pitch. No auto tune.
This is an extraordinary arrangement and performance. Everything is subordinate yet sustaining to her voice. Each phrase and note is caressed and full of emotion. No stupid wailing and screaming trying to show off the voice. Instead an intimate display of beauty and heartache. Superb work by all.
The best music makes you feel something.
as @1mespud stated, Richard is really the genius behind The Carpenters. A documentary cites he was the one who would procure the songs that he felt best fit Karen's vocal styles and arrange and produce them with the talent of the instrumental contributions by Karen playing drum and him on the various instruments.
April 29, 1972 Municipal Auditorium, Atlanta, GA I was there - wow what a show & I happened to be 21 at the time. What a magical performance. I still get chills listening to their music. peace all
One of the most pure singers ever.
Not bad vocals for a girl that preferred the drums and to sit up the back on stage. Her voice was like liquid gold, so smooth, mellow and effortlessly controlled. She sang the emotion through each and every song that she performed. It is only fairly recently that people have begun looking back and are now realizing just how really good she could sing. Karen Carpenter and Aretha Franklin were the premier female vocalists of their generation.
Have you heard their duet, the Karen & Ella Medley? It´s one of my favorites! 🥰
Don't ever forget Miss Vera Lynn, Miss Judy Garland, or Miss Jo Stafford. But Miss Karen Carpenter IMO is the greatest female singer of all time. A gift she received from the Holy Spirit.
Her voice cuts clear to my soul. It’s such a beautifully haunting, almost melancholy voice. She was an amazing talent. 💜
my favorite Carpenter song...I have heard it hundreds of times..each time my eyes fill with tears...it is A PERFECT SONG sung PERFECTLY....
I enjoy singing all of The Carpenter’s songs along with the C.D.’s in my music collection. I think I have a pretty good voice, but no one will ever match Karen Carpenter’s beautiful voice. It was the epitome of PERFECTION !! 😮
Everything she sings is beautiful and also heart wrenching at the same time.Its basically almost impossible to listen to her and not feel emotional and get teary eyed
Remember that Herb Alpert (A&M Records) signed The Carpenters.
Quiet support from Herb and Lani, his wife, also a very talented singer.
Karen was every rocker's guilty pleasure. Love that she's still playing the drum kit here and their nod to the blues with the harp. Those layered vocals were a trademark Carpenters sound. Even though Richard took the idea from someone else, the Carpenters perfected the sound.
My favorite pop song... EVER...
There’s an incredible sense of honesty that comes through when Karen sings. A genuineness that is pretty rare. And then there’s the sheer talent. And at the end of the last chorus when she gets to the full stop after the powerful “always gets…” and the the softness and melancholy of the following “me down.”
Gives me a chill every time. Always has.
Knowing her story you can't help but feel for her. And if you've ever dealt with depression, you feel it too.
"Drop any barrier that you have and let the music speak to you." That doesn't corny, that sounds like art.
She really sings the heck out of this one. A couple of other powerful songs by the Carpenters include Hurting Each Other and Goodbye to Love.
"Goodbye to Love" is probably a top-100 of all time. If not, some one is cheating.
Anyone can relate to this song because it’s sincere and thats art
Her voice always has that affect on me too.Very melancholy.
When they started the band little sister was just the drummer, then they got an agent and he heard her sing and he was like "you guys are crazy, she needs to be the lead singer". But she never really liked it, she preferred just being a drummer.
Her voice evokes your emotions ❤❤❤
Music is feelings - especially when Karen sang. I've probably heard this song 100 times and it still gets me.
A TRUE ANGEL.
