For whatever my opinion is worth, I think Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice pop music has ever known.
agree...
Karen indeed was top female vocalist ever.
No question!! Transcends anyone else
Karen's voice was flawless. She has truly got to be one of the greatest signers of all time.
100% TRUE!
The most beloved voice of the 70's - and her brother was a fabulous arranger and their voices blended together so wonderfully. All of us who were alive back then feel such a tinge of sadness because of her tragic story. It is good that her recordings are still available for new generations to appreciate.
Karen had the best female voice ever!
Her vocal talent is just immeasurable. Range, tone vibrato, arrangement....simply incredible. Her music just makes you want to put your arm around her and save her from the future we all know.
Bill Parthum Perfectly stated.
Wonderful tribute!!
Spot on. I was just thinking the same thing :( I wish knowing how amazing people thought she was could have made her feel that about herself.
Karen's voice with Richard's extraordinary arrangements was a glimpse of Heaven. No one even came close - or ever will - to her magnificent vocals. Ever.
Karen had the most beautiful voice. No-one has ever measured up
Amen !
Wow, they were so talented. This show was classy, they looked classy, just complete talent. Karen was thin, but never sounded better. Their music may have not been liked by everyone but nobody could ever say they weren't exceptional musicians. Her voice has this haunting quality, a sadness that makes even their happier songs have a tinge of sadness. But her voice was built for all those sad ballads. It's nice that so many people of the younger generation are discovering them and keeping their legacy alive.
You deserve more likes
This medley was part of their last TV special for ABC called, "Music, Music, Music." Karen did an awesome medley with Ella Fitzgerald in the same show.
She lip-synced that duet.
@@Coowallsky Not even close, she paired down her voice to match Ella's
@@patcurrie9888 LOL!! Richard covers this 3 times on their website… once, specifically talking about the date that Karen recorded her part.
i doubt very much if you will find a better sounding medley ever, arrangement is amazing and no one comes near to karens voice
I love seeing reactions to Carpenters Music because they are being exposed to something we all had back in our time of listening to music. When I see so many reactions to her voice it just makes me so happy to know that I lived with Karen's voice growing up and was lucky enough to have seen them live once in Connecticut.
Most beautiful female voice ever !
Thanks for continuing to react to Carpenters. Karen's voice soothes the soul. More people need to hear her, especially now.
Karens voice is a wonderful gift of God!💛🙏💛
Amen!
Never saw this before, thank you. Just beautiful....I'm literally crying. A life gone too soon.
"Knowing When to Leave" is by no means a simple song to sing, even at this slower tempo.
Karen always made it look easy. So beautiful.
I love this song in the medley
She was lovely 💖, absolutely phenomenally talented!!! 😌
Hey Derek. I love the smile Karen puts on your face. Have you seen their similar Bacharach medley live from Australia in 1972? She plays the drums and sings live like an angel for 13 minutes. All live. You will be floored and it will make my day if you react to it!
I was just listening to this medley in my shower... Karen is my everything. Thanks for sharing
Same ha ha
Very beautiful, the Carpenters is undoubtedly synonymous with perfection ❤❤
You got it exactly right - Karen was able to sustain like that - she’s known for one take songs - singing live no problem / a gift for sure! And her brother playing the piano knows exactly what talent she has - Ke arranged ALL the music- they was HIS gift.
It’s wonderful that you are noticing these things. I love it. ❤️
Karen Carpenter was such a brilliant singer in every way / she used to make the people in the studio cry.
Listen to her last recorded song called “ NOW”.
It’ll blow you away. 🥲
Did I mention today that I love this girl singer named Karen Anne Carpenter? My Crush/Singer of life. This is a true and natural talent. Privilege to the ears, mind and hearts. I'm sure the genius arrangements are Richard Carpenter's touch. Congratulations Dereck. Whenever there is a reaction to the Carpenters I have to see
You are so right!
A natural contralto. And a truly unmistakable voice.
Karen Carpenter's voice was pure silk.
I was an early rocker, 70's. When I was in my late 20's, my middle sister bought us both outfits and took me to see the Florida Symphony. Completely changed my concept of music, musicians, putting yourself somewhere you thought you would never have gone.
Just beautiful and the layering of the vocals and the harmonies are flawless. Karen's voice is so pitch perfect and clear. The Carpenterd were a class act
When Karen died, it broke my heart! Her voice was simply awesome! Nobody can compare!
Who would have thought just three years after this, Karen was gone. A beautiful voice that can’t ever be matched.
She is and always be the best ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So pleased you did this! One if my all time favourites. Their musicality is beyond impressive.
Brought back so many memories of watching them when I was a kid! Along with the melancholy of losing her. Their recordings are gifts.
What you hear in this was from a tv special. They pre-recorded most all of their tv appearances in studio, both vocals and music, then lip-synced while recording the video. This was because they were perfectionists and wanted the performance to come off as such. They considered themselves to be recording artists more so than performing artists even though they did an extreme amount of that (another story). It absolutely goes without saying that Karen's voice is beyond comprehension to me. I do feel that a lot of credit for what you hear goes to Richard. He truly KNEW her voice and how to "showcase " it with his incredible arrangements. I feel he can be credited with coming up with a sound of their own. Dereck thank you for listening to them and reacting. It is so great to see a younger person listening to and appreciating what many of us have for over 50 years now.
Karen, we love you so much! Your voice is so silky and smooth! Karen, you will never be forgotten!
I love your reaction on this medley, the song SOMEDAY can be heard on their very first album Ticket to Ride 1969.
New subscriber. Carpenters are my favorite of all time. Karen’s voice is flawless perfection.
Karen could have done ANYTHING. To watch her have fun and do comedy watch on youtube Carpenters, Grease --from a show in Holland . Karen was an excellent mimic reportedly, including Barbara Streisand . You can see Karen is having a ball.
Lovely reaction ♥️👍and this duet was one of the best in music industry. They're having another beautiful song with the name of, touch me when we're dancing. Best regards from Miami 🙋🏻♂️
I love "Touch Me When We're Dancing." Thanks for mentioning it. Such a wonderful song.
S. Pohl
Totally agree with you and the same, thanks for your great feedback to my comment, really appreciate it, cause I see this RUclipsr from the channel is not having the good habit to reply neither to give hearts to his subscribers. Not subbed anymore to him.
she was known as "one take karen"....
JUST Shows What Magic Carpenters Had AND Always Will Have💕💔
Greg! No! Just ...no!! It's ' Carpenters'! Not-and-never The Carpenters. Just sayin.
@@kaikito2348 👍✌️
This was incredible..thank you for doin this. Karen is just fantastic All the way around. Yes she has been known to record a song in just one take.Some have said she never made as mistake.
Keep up the good work ❤️
My God, Karen looked and sounded amazing.
Watching their later performances always makes me sad. Because you can see the affects of Karen's eating disorder on her appearance. She was such a beautiful woman. Anyways, thanks for reacting to them.
I was startled by her thin appearance here. It is sad.
OK, so now Karen deserves to be in one of the 'tvs' in your background lol ❤️
Bandi Rain great idea
the song "someday" music and the lyrics ALWAYS make me bawl... so incredibly movingly sad melancholy beautiful...
One of my favorites
Miss that lady.
Thanks for the background info.
Dereck, you are an amazing guy. I love THE CARPENTERS, Karen's voice, moves me ... I never found a voice so sweet ... (For All We Know / Rayne Days Mondays / I Need To Be In Love / Superstar / Close To You / Ticket To Ride / Now / This Marquerade / We ve Only Just Begun / You / Wont Last Day / Top Of The World / Mr Poustman / Yesterday Once More / Only Yesterday / Merry Christimas Darling / You Are The One & Make Believe Its Your Fist Time, are songs that do not miss in my life ... ♥ ️ ♥ ️😢👏🏻
PERFECT. ONLY KAREN DOES IT. Karen's performance is simply exquisite and fantastic as always!!!!!!!!!!! Dereck my friend you said the truth. When it is a gift from God it is difficult not to notice. Karen's voice seems to have come straight from heaven and takes us there even with our feet still on the ground.
Did someone turn on the air conditioner? I have goosebumps all over.
This is from their 1980 TV special "Music, Music, Music". There's something else from that show that's worth a reaction too if you can find a decent clip of it: a standards medley involving Karen and the iconic Ella Fitzgerald...
I've watched this performance nearly 100 times over the years. Each & EVERY time Ms Carpenter brings me to tears 😢 with her unrivaled perfect & beautiful singing. No other Artists has had that affect on me.
Then you mention the arrangements & orchestration, which is outstanding. Whenever I watch them perform, Karen is the only one I can concentrate on. Her singing always puts me in a trance 😍 & I never want it to end 😇
Karen Carpenters voice was so silky smooth and nobody can beat her harmonious voice! In 2023, nobody can compare to Karen Carpenter!
Their music is still alive and recognizable in the Philippines 🇵🇭 love this siblings too ❤️
Burt Bacharach and Hal David, an iconic 60s songwriting team (they penned many of Dionne Warwick's hits), were associates of Herb Alpert, the A of A&M Records and a significant recording artist in his own right; Carpenters were with A&M their whole career 1969 onward, and their first really big hit, Close To You, was a previously-obscure Bacharach/David song.
She just had one of "Those" voices, that's all there really is to say about her. My favourite song of theirs is "Only Yesterday"
Dan Frost my favorite song also
Beautiful !!!!
The best duo I have ever heard! Absolutely beautiful! Fantastic is not the word for this! Perfection is more like it!
You wonder that she could probably record in one take? Yea - quite a lot, I think. Superstar, Now, Rainbow Connection, Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again ( you can hear the rustle of the sheet music when she turns the page), Do You Hear What I Hear (Richard had to record the 1st verse because Karen was playing around, but the rest is her Lead Vocal). There are others. I think most if not all of the vocals on the Old Fashioned Christmas album are 1st takes EXCEPT Santa Claus Is Coming To Town which they had recorded years earlier.
They perform a similar medley on stage in concert live in 1972 in Australia. And, Karen is playing the drums throughout the whole set. It is fabulous and my favorite from when she was the lead drummer for the group. She is freaking outstanding singing lead and ripping through her kit. I think you'd love it! She was incredible! Thank you for the reaction.
When Karen Carpenter sang, it was like an electric current of greatness that ran through you!
I have always lamented the fact that the Carpenters never did a standalone version of "Make It Easy On Yourself". I would gladly give up a "Goofus" or a "B'wana She No Home" to have it.
Ethereal😍🤩
Have been in love with Karen since I first heard her voice in 1970! I literally stopped in my tracks...shocked at the quality! As a Music Major at Iowa in 1972 I was considered a moron for loving their group! That is one reason I got away from the arts community! Self absorbed navel gazing by people with 1% of her talent!
Just like you, fans have wanted to hear the entire versions of these songs, but unfortunately, apart from "Sing", "Someday" and "We've only just begun" these songs were not recorded in full by the Carpenters. And the recording of "Someday" (for their 1969 debut album "Offering") was one that neither Richard nor Karen were particularly happy with. This is part of the reason that they included it in this medley, to get a "second chance" at it. In years since, Richard has said that they might have re-recorded the entire song at some point had Karen lived longer.
well said... would also love to hear (if there was, but there wasn't)... a full version of her singing from the 1971 medley video "a house is not a home" the video of which is here on youtube..
@@tomschmitz5745 Me too. Similarly, I'd love to hear a complete version of many of those "medley" songs from the tv specials and the Oldies medley from "Now & Then", but unfortunately they weren't recorded in full. We can blame Richard's arranging magic and Karen's compelling voice for this longing for more.
Yes, she did superstar and some other famous recordings they did in one take.
Karen Carpenter will never be forgotten! Her voice will live with me forever!
Dereck, If you would like to learn more about the fantastic songs of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, you should check out many of the songs sung by Dionne Warwick. Back in the day, she was the main showcase for the unique sound of their music. I enjoyed this Carpenters medley very much! Thanks!
All of the beautiful "Someday" appeared on Carpenters' 1969 debut album "Offering" (aka "Ticket To Ride"), but Karen was not happy with her performance on that recording, and was glad to rerecord part of the song for this made for TV medley...but you would surely enjoy the original, and a video for it is on RUclips...
I'm so dang old I got to sing the song "Sing" with my sixth grade class with the Carpenters in Concert in 1973. It was indescribably cool for a sixth grade kid to get to do
There is NO doubt that Karen Carpenter had the best voice of all time! She knocked it out of the park every time she sang!
Your grin said it all Dereck ! you were smiling like a Cheshire Cat ! Love it !
It’s painful to watch their later shows when Karen was excruciatingly thin 🙁😢
I noticed this 🙁
True but still enjoy the music
Yeah, the 1976 drum solo sequence from a concert in England is at once marvelous (the drumming and the joy on KC's face) and horrifying (she's wearing what should be a tight top, but on her it's baggy)...
Amazing how her voice stayed strong even when her body was wasting away. So sad.
Karen did most of her songs in one take apparently and you are right her voice is definitely heaven sent for sure the most perfect voice ever.
Thank you so much for reacting to the carpenters ❤️
If you want to go on an emotional journey, find I Just Fall In Love Again. Not one of their most well-known tracks, but you'll be overwhelmed. Would be interested to see your reaction that one!
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.........
80’s trumpets! She is utterly flawless! And beautiful and just the GOAT of singers! ❤
Richard & Karen were a perfect musical team.
💋💋💋💋 music perfect
Dereck thank you for you carpenters reactions, more carpenters, please react "Carpenters A song for you"🤩
Chills to this day every single time I hear her ❤
Richard always said, about her vocals, that "the money is in basement" meaning her lower register seems to 'resonates' and is her sweet spot when she sings, especially in the ballads.
Twould be nice if - at some time in the future - you could show Karen singing behind the ' safety' of her drums. ( Karen was a fantastic drummer ).
I'm a female, 61...no flirting, I just LOVE your reaction videos.
Their music, her voice is timeless. A whole new generation experiencing it!
It has been said Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand have similar singing techniques. Both can hold a note forever. 😊❤ Love your channel Dereck 👍
SIR----------YOU NEED CONTEXT TO APPRECIATE WHAT IT IS YOU'RE SEEING & HEARING. -----------------This is from Rich & Karens' final TV Special on ABC, entitled ' Music, Music,
You must react to Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. Their most elaborate production.
Karen sang very softly, but she had great breath control and she could hold a note forever. During the taping of this special, singer John Davidson (one of their guests) supposedly asked her, "Do you have a third lung??" 🙂
LOVELY Karen! She was God's gift to the world! God rest her beautiful soul!
One take was Superstar ☺️
Why is it that when Karen starts to sing, fears start coming out of my eyes.? I am 60 years old and Karen has a beatiful, angelic., voice where nobody can match.
Yes, KC was known for single take perfection. I think you've reacted to "Superstar", Dereck; that recording is one example, the vocal on that track (which was a sizeable hit single) is not only a first take but the first time she ever sang the song...
Karen Carpenters voice cannot be beat! Period!
Karen sang a duo with Perry Como who lived right down the street from me. It was on Perry Como Christmas special.
This is my second time hearing.
I love the way you get into the instruments.
I saw you cry to Now by the Carpenters. Thank you for crying. I do not like watching the guys react because I really dont think they feel that they are to manly to cry. If it is beautiful CRY.
I want to let you know that Karen is in the top 10 women drummers in the world.
PLEASE check out her Christmas solo.
Keep up the good work.😁🤘
This Medley rocks Dereck! Thank you for posting this! How awesome is Karen Carpenter to begin with Dereck? This Medley is pure awesome!
Never heard this.. gorgeous. So glad got to see them in 73
Karen Carpenter's voice was a god send! I miss her so much!
I love you Karen Carpenter!
Check out the Carpenters' Bacharach medley recorded live at Walter Reed medical center a decade earlier, in 1970. Richard's hair alone is worth your time 🤣😁 ...and amazing Karen in her Happy Place - killin' it at the drum kit. Knowing When to Leave is actually quite an up tempo song, at least the way they did it. 😃👍🏻
Wonderful reaction from Derek
You are very refreshing. I love your spirit! You’re an amazing person.
A Lot of the songs were written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and they wrote the most memorable songs ever.
