    I feel that the Carpenters were a bit underappreciated in their day, but now a new generation is coming to appreciate them more without the hang ups of the "hip" crowd of the Carpenters' own time.

      When I was a teenager and was out cruising with my friends on a Saturday night, the Carpenters would come on the radio and we would all race to see who could change the station. We were just way too cool for the Carpenters. But when I was at home and they would come on the radio ,I would race to turn it up. I was a closet Carpenter fan. Years later, I found out that my friends were all closet Carpenter fans too.

    As someone else in another reaction said. This was before autotune and her voice is so clear. So perfect, never an off note.
    Nobody today would sing her songs without autotune and even with it they couldn't come close.

    Karen was a once in a generation voice, just a natural instrument and gift from God. She is still so missed. Thank goodness we have the music to always fall back on and remind us of how special she was. And Carpenters would not have achieved the success without Karen’s brother Richard who had an amazing ear for music and a natural talent for arranging and producing. You should check out these other hits by them “Superstar” and “Hurting Each Other”

You see, I was going through my own battles with body image and eating disorder. Her death from exactly what I was doing to myself changed everything. I'm healthy (ish lol) and happy. I'm 63 years old now. But the sound of that beautiful voice still breaks my heart. ❤️🙏😇 Always

Amazing talent and when combined with her brother's musical genius of composing, arranging, doing harmonies, and playing keyboards, they were an unbeatable duo! Nothing like this in today's music, sad to say.

    Another thing Richard Carpenter did was invent the power ballad subgenre of song. Check out "Goodbye To Love" from 1972, written and arranged by Richard. Terrific lead vocal by Karen (of course), and what at the time was incongruous (not to mention controversial) fuzz guitar solo work by Tony Peluso of Instant Joy...you can draw a straight line from that song to, say, Evanescence...

They had a string of great songs in the early 70’s. Karen’s rich voice is always unmistakable. Very sad ending for her. I hope she at least got to enjoy her success. I also recommend Linda Ronstadt.

    Carpenters were a band or group, and Richard was a huge part of it, but you are not wrong to shine the spotlight on the amazing Karen Carpenter, RIP. At least we have the legacy of her music to enjoy. Cheers, Harri!

    I grew up listening to the Carpenters. No joke on rainy days and I could not go outside and play, I would go tk our basement, put on my sister's Carpenter LP and listen. Her voice is one of a kind. I thought how cool that they were brother and sister. Both brilliant in their own way.

    You gotta check out Karen Carpenter drum solo videos. She's off the hook.

    FYI. On their first 3 albums, she also played the Bass guitar on the studio recordings. She was truly multitalented.

    I'm ready to cry, her voice is so beautiful. We lost so much beauty with her passing so young. We surely miss her.

      If I may add, she was a great drummer, very well respected by the likes of Buddy Rich.

    When I was growing up, they cranked out a chart-topper every 2 months or so. She was a highly respected drummer.

    Having grown up in the 70's and 80's, I've seen many Carpenters performances. She always looked happiest when she was drumming.

    Karen was one of my favorite singers growing up and was crushed to hear the news of her passing.

    Karen's voice is majestic! And, as you saw, a pretty darned good drummer. In fact, she always described herself as a drummer who sings, because she grew up playing the drums, not singing, and really didn't start singing until the group formed. Thank goodness she did start. She's one of a kind.
    Please, react to "Superstar" if you haven't heard it already.

    Appreciate your recognition of untouched talent. This song was live TV in 1971. No auto-tune, computerized instruments, twerking, screaming, or stripping. Multiple gold and platinum albums. She was nominated for 7 Grammys and won 3. 'She sang to you, not at you'. Tragic loss from years of anorexia nervosa. Died Feb 1983 at 32.

    You've got to check out documentaries on the Carpenter's. There's a great photo of Karen's childhood drum set with her name in decal. Also, Close to You is my personal fave.

    Harri - I saw the Carpenters in concert in Duluth, Minnesota. It was years and years ago. So long ago, in fact...that their opening act was a young comedian named Steve Martin. True.

    One of the most perceptive modern day reactions/reviews I have heard. Her voice STUNNED me when, as a late teen, I first heard their version of Ticket to Ride. Today, after Richard worked with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to redo some of ther songs, a whole new generation can now listen to this unique, once-in-a-lifetime voice. I heard it in person twice and feel so very lucky that I did.
