When I was young, and naïve, I thought this song would be perfect for my wedding. I'm no longer young, and much less naïve...but I still think it's the perfect wedding song. Thank you, Karen....your voice and my dream live on.
Mariah Carey doesn't strain, her voice sounded hoarse because of her overworking her voice without rest... They don't sound like cows, get it right. And Mariah and Whitney used proper singing techniques just that they lost their voices just because of their negligence.....
I Love her voice and have done for years so sad a beautiful person inside and out to go so young. Thankfully the videos are still here. God bless you Karen.
I'm 13 years old and I listen to these kind of songs because I love it when my grandma will sing along and tell stories about her life.. I also listen to new songs released these days and yes it makes me feel like dancing but it doesn't have meaning and you CAN'T feel the love. It's all just about drugs, being high, sex, and just completely inappropriate. I know I sound like a grown woman but this is how I feel. Whenever I listen to these kind of music it makes me cry because I can feel love and the soul of music. Singers these days are talented, yes but I hope they would continue making music a beautiful gift from above and not just write it and then that's it. Make it remembering like when you listen to it after 40 years or something, it'll make you feel like life was worth living just like when you listen to this one. All I can say is I'm glad I knew these kind of singers.
Wonderful post Hermione, I was in my teens and twenties in the 70's so I've love the Carpenters from way back.I recently listened to a short interview on youtube of a man that was like a record producer that said he worked with Karen and Richard when they first began singing together, when Karen was just 16 years old. The interviewer asked him if the heartfelt, soulful way she seemed to emote every song, was something she developed over the years, and he said NO... she was born that way... it was not something she learned.
Same here, Hermione. Since I was very young, grandma always played these kinds of songs; that's why I still love listening to them until now and I know every lyric by heart. I'm 17 now. hehe :)
I was 8 years old when Karen died i remember my mother being so upset, me and my mother would listen to the carpenters while she was doing housework and singing at the same time, such great memories, my mother died from cancer at 49 years old and I played the carpenters at her funeral!! I listen to the carpenters to remind myself of great times with my mom!! it's amazing how music can't effect your life and emotions!! Karen was one in a million...
+pajamagirl123 Sadly your comment is lost on so many, especially clueless kids. I do agree with you 100%, her voice was absolutely perfect. Not only was it pitch perfect, but she had incredible feel and timing. As you said, it's something you can't teach.
... pitch perfect (or almost) should be a given for anyone who walks on stage claiming he/she can sing. Hopefully then he/she should also give emotions. Karen clearly can do both ! Bless !
I got to see The Carpenters at the Wisconsin State Fair. What a delight to see such a talented brother and sister. She had such a beautiful voice. We lost a a great singer and a wonderful person with her death. RIP Karen
La anorexia es una enfermedad mental , por suerte yo la superé y no la sabían tratar los médicos.Se requiere un grupo de médicos un nutriologo un sicólogo, muy peligrosa.
@@eldelalayon8413 Bulimia fué su padecimiento, lo que la mató fue lo que consumía para provocar el vómito, ella nunca se enteró hasta que fue demasiado tarde, en resumen, ella se estaba envenenando sin saberlo.
One of the rare clips we've seen of Karen showing some skin and looking mighty fine in that sexy dress too! Before her anorexia got out of hand from about 1975 onward she looked beautiful in the early years. That's how I prefer to remember her. Young and vibrant. RIP Karen.
+Shane Anthony I thought in 1980 she looked stunning. She had regained some weight for her wedding and looked amazing footage from less than a year later is hard to watch.
+Shane Anthony Karen is a bit " chubby ", in this video. Personally, I think she looks good, and is baring it somewhat which seems unusual for her. I can't help feeling... that this video may of " inspired " her to start excessive dieting, leading to anorexia. For a woman who hid behind her drumset, and dressed modestly, this seems like a total departure for Karen.
+Shane Anthony I agree too. I think this was one of her last best concerts, before she started having the problems. When her anorexia gotten severe, it was almost the kiss of death for their (her and Richard's) commercial success, from that point on out, her voice started to lose much of it's lower register, and became thin and nasally. Her best years physically and sound wise were from when she was the drummer in the band - full time, when they told her she couldn't play her drums anymore, and was burdened with having to perform her lead vocals at the front of the stage, that's when she started to have her issues. She did get to play drums on the instrumental pieces and the oldies medleys, as well as some of the lesser known songs though, and that was where her happiness was actually, but that was only roughly less than 50% of the concert, as well as the recordings. If she quit the band around the time her drums were removed, she'd probably still be alive.
She will always be one of my favorite singers, unique contralto voice, contralto but also soft/"kind"/ smooth voice, very rare. So sad she left this world at such a young age😢, I was 14 when she passed away.
I was fortunate to have seen The Carpenters perform in Lake Tahoe, as I recall, in the early nineteen seventies. Karen's sang with the clearest voice that I had ever heard and now, some forty or so years later, for me, no one has ever matched her . . . her crystal clear voice was as "clear as a bell".
Karen Carpenter has been my favorite singer and up to now that I am old and gray I still want to hear her music, her voice...so mellow, soothing to the ear!... I felt sorry when she passed away.
get this. once in this week. for first time i saw a tim burton movie call "dark shadows" with jhonny deep in the top. well, my ears met the such a beautiful karen´s voice (RIP) since 3 o 4 years ago and i never but never expect to watch this wonderful piece in that movie. so i came here again for both. thank you.
What a beautiful person, with a beautiful voice. So sad she left us so young. I grew up with her music and sang some of her songs in our swing choir in High School. Makes me sad to realize she was only 7 years older than me. Miss her.
I was thinking how good she was .. then I realised this is live !!! No playing with the voice or acoustics .. pure beauty in a wonderful voice. If there is a heaven she is probably voice coaching the angels
Karen carpenter was my dad's favorite singers. Even when dying from cancer dementia, he still recognized her voice. R.i.p both Karen and my dad. Kris Mueller
KAREN was on top of the world when she sang her first note, people on earth could not believe that such a fabulous voice had arrived and never to be equalled, sadly taken at her peak i'm sure she's playing sell out concerts in heaven, lucky heaven, god bless beautiful babe. xxx.
When a singer can ask you, in her song, to take her hand, come with her, and go to places only she can take you...that is a gift we seldom see anymore in performers. We love you, Karen.
listening to this song when I was little on radio AM station, I waited like an hour just to hear and record this song with my mamas old cassette and now, thanks to RUclips wherein I was able to access and listen to this type of music. I love carpeters forever. loving my old soul even I'm just 20ylo. ♡♡♡
Her voice is so melodic and beautiful that she doesn't even need any instrumentals backing her up. She could pretty much put you in a trance with her perfect pitch and harmony. ~Peace out and God Bless~.
It really become top in the billboard.thanks Helen for the nice song.Sad the you did'nt live longer, but your musics stayed in our hearts as long as we live.
The sound of these songs traveled in space around the world to pass the place where I was and how to appreciate the unmistakable voice of the unforgettable interpreter Karen.
Dang it. One of the most beautiful voices in modern pop/country music. And look how healthy she looks here. Thank you, Karen and David. I know, I know, it's now "elevator music," but it's pretty dang good music. And, in my opinion, FEW women have a voice that equals Karen's. Quality, empathy, timbre. OK, she doesn't overtone. :) But she has tremendous warmth. RIP
KidIndigo1 Wow, and I mean wow! You're the second person I've seen that has called Richard Carpenter "David". I guess you really are not a Carpenters fan to not know that. Richard has taken a LOT of crap over the years from critics as being "the piano player for the Carpenters". Sure, Karen had THE voice, but people just don't realize Richard's contributions, Composer, arranger, producer, and selecting songs to fit Karen's voice. She'd be the first to tell us that. As she said in a "Tonight Show" interview in 1977 - "He picks the songs, writes, arranges, and produces, but other than that he does nothing". He's a damn good piano player as well, btw.
There was something magical about her Voice that drew you in, immediately feeling that Karen was singing directly to you heart-to-heart. She had great songwriters and arrangements with her talented brother to work with and that is also part of the Magic. I was so sad when she passed away, but that Beautiful Voice has never died and lives on thru these wonderful videos and the records..
What a beautiful lady with a lovely voice. What a shame that she didn't see the beauty in herself that the rest of us saw. I wish society knew about eating disorders back then what we know now. We may have been able to help her. I wish we still had her in the world. May you rest in peace Karen.
I remember singing this when I was in first year high school in Manila, Philippines. Good times! My favourite singer of all time! Carpenters' songs got me through my growing years. And whenever I feel a little under the weather or in low spirits, I only have to listen to them to bring me back to Earth.
I still listen to this song from time to time. It just comes over me. I think of it suddenly and the tune just flows. It makes me smile. I love Karen Carpenter. She was a rare gem
Wow, I miss Karen Carpenter! As a young boy, she was my first crush. I remember looking at the pictures of her and listening to the Carpenter's on 8-tracks. She was so pretty, and had that Angelic voice! This was my favorite song.
"The Carpenters - Top Of The World" Such a feeling is coming over me There is wonder in 'most everything I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now coming true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name And it's telling me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world
+Rebacca Josefina What's amazing is beautiful, simple poetry in which you understand exactly what is said and its meaning...no innuendos or reading between the lines...and it happens to be sung by one of the greatest voices.
So true! My friend's uncle, who had the great fortune to work with her, said that unlike most singers, her voice required no warming up: she needed only to open her mouth and out would pour that liquid gold. Uncanny and amazing!
I was very young when I 1st heard this song. I thought it refreshingly free and innocent.. .sweet and sexy...gave me a sensation of wanting to live and love. To go out to the world with arms wide OPEN. Then I grew up, became an adult like we do and Now I hear it and cry.
Wow ....may I say that back in the early seventies I was a young 11 -13 year old boy that was crazy in love with Karen ....and that was before I was able to see her on any tv shows . Her voice to me both then and now ???? incredible she was and still is in my book ?? a Queen with a Angelic voice....now you get to sing to God in heaven and bloom like the flower you are.
I saw them perform in March 1975 at the Valley Forge Fair,Pa. Never would imagine she would be gone only 8 yrs later.Such a beautiful and one of a kind singer she was.
Karen was walking out of a restaurant with a friend as John Lennon was walking in; he stopped and said "I just wanted to say what a beautiful voice you have love !" Apparently, Karen was like a schoolgirl again for days ! She never quite believed it when other people said she was a wonderful singer. Karen's voice always melts me every time. God bless you Karen, a beautiful soul indeed !
It's not my style of music, but her voice keeps me listening, unable to stop. How can a human voice be so perfect?
simply incredible!
HERS is..I have to stop for her..;unique' is the word..NO doubt who it is, from the first word..still gives me chills, like nobody else can..:)
That's Karen Carpenter, my friend...
La justesse. la précision .la beauté de la voix de Karen fait probablement la plus grande chanteuse de tout les temps
C'est selon toi, mon cher ami... Karen mérite la position de l'une des plus grandes chanteuses de tous les temps...
When I was young, and naïve, I thought this song would be perfect for my wedding. I'm no longer young, and much less naïve...but I still think it's the perfect wedding song. Thank you, Karen....your voice and my dream live on.
I have no idea why, but your comment makes me a bit teary eyed!

The best most of the so called singers don't even come close.

Not big voice of course. But that was true of Big Crosby. Perfect voice for the microphone.
To this day, I can't believe Karen's gone. What a voice and stage presence.
I reckon shes got the most pleasant voice to listen to. Theres no strain, nothings forced. Very good singer
Mariah Carey doesn't strain, her voice sounded hoarse because of her overworking her voice without rest... They don't sound like cows, get it right. And Mariah and Whitney used proper singing techniques just that they lost their voices just because of their negligence.....
I Love her voice and have done for years so sad a beautiful person inside and out to go so young. Thankfully the videos are still here. God bless you Karen.
@Terry Melvin Different styles. But neither one of them were anywhere even close to that golden voice.
I love how she's wearing a classy dress and went "Yeehaw!" She's adorable :') We need them back 😭
Karen had such an incredible voice, they'll never be anyone like her. Gone way too soon, R.I.P. Karen.
Thanks to a reporter that told her she was fat
Ray Spartan
No her mom did it (indirect)
Jim Roveto yep she has a unique voice. noone ever has come close
Wow didn't know her mom told her
Kids in the neighborhood and school gave her a nickname. Fatso
Incredible and natural voice. Head and shoulders above most female singers in my memory. And she seemed a beautiful person. Sadly missed
she's so gorgeous here. If only she'd known how fabulous she was and how much she was loved......
I'm 13 years old and I listen to these kind of songs because I love it when my grandma will sing along and tell stories about her life.. I also listen to new songs released these days and yes it makes me feel like dancing but it doesn't have meaning and you CAN'T feel the love.

Surely she's a great singer.
Jesus what a beautiful voice.
The best chugger!
No entiendo la verdad sólo lo busque por que me retaron a hacerlo::😶

Happyes
Karen ,Your voice is still on the top of this world ,surly heaven is appreciating your voice too .RIP

She really was pitch perfect. You can't teach something like that.

That's why I never seen those kids on audition competitions like the Voice sang this song.
I am happy sherk 4 had this song in it!
... pitch perfect (or almost) should be a given for anyone who walks on stage claiming he/she can sing. Hopefully then he/she should also give emotions. Karen clearly can do both ! Bless !
Perfect pitch and perfect diction! She clearly pronounces every word.
I can only hope that this is what the Angels sound like in heaven.
I'm with you!
They might now, if she taught them.
Great song thank you for sharing, she was indeed a courageous woman
I got to see The Carpenters at the Wisconsin State Fair. What a delight to see such a talented brother and sister. She had such a beautiful voice. We lost a a great singer and a wonderful person with her death. RIP Karen
It touches the deepest part of my heart every time. Love you and miss you Karen
how did she die again
Anorexia.
jennifer lee really wow I can't believe it she doesn't seem like the kind of person, but I guess sometimes you just don't know a person
+Stephanie Robles she recovered her anorexia but she died because of the drugs she uses and also karen's desperate love for her mother
+music201035 is that mother of Karen is cold to her but why
she looks so healthy and beutiful here

@@eldelalayon8413 exacto, ella no fue a un médico, fue a un nutricionista y eso fue peor.
Thank you for being born and sharing your blessings Karen.. You have an amazing spirit
I am a full on rock fan; but I gotta admit that this song melts my heart everytime I listen to it.
What a sweet voice she has!!!!

Karen Carpenter, one of the most beautiful female voices of all time. Her voice is literally like warm honey ❤

Beautiful sound. So sad about her eating disorder. Really a timeless voice.
so sad indeed I'm sorry
+Andrew Joseph Dotson She was so hot. I miss her. If she would have met me and knew how I felt about her, she would not have had the eating issue.
+lostintime86 So sweet of you to say that. She was great.
+lostintime86 That's nice of you to say, however, that's now how the disorder works. No amount of compliments can fix it.
The most beautiful and perfect voice of all time!
The Carpenters !!! I sang along with all of their beautiful, sometimes very sad, words too. One of the best Duos. ABro & Sis. together. Class Act. xxx
it is 2017 I still can't believe the Carpenters are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Love you, Karen!!! Your soul lives on! 👍💖

Her voice is so melodic and beautiful that she doesn't even need any instrumentals backing her up. She could pretty much put you in a trance with her perfect pitch and harmony. ~Peace out and God Bless~.
I grew up, she was gone, leaving only her voice, it's a pity!
O" God what a beautiful and pleasant voice Karen had! Her voice was difinitely soothing and fun to listen.
it alsmost feels like from a different WORLD. The song and her voice have something magical.
It really become top in the billboard.thanks Helen for the nice song.Sad the you did'nt live longer, but your musics stayed in our hearts as long as we live.

Why aren't you this happy today ?

nothing compares your beautiful voice

she was so beautiful. love her music
Yes lovely voice, one in a million! Just like Minnie Riperton
Beautiful Creation!
Cheers! I Love You Mom
That mike, that dress, the music, the drums.. all scream out 70's. Lovely voice.
To quote her brother, "it was a crime she was taken from us so soon". I agree!
I love their music. Karen Carpenter had such a soothing voice when she was singing.
i really love her voice so soft to heard ..all her music i sing it also..
SHE WAS SUCH TALENTED..WONDERING WHY TALENTED PEOPLE ALWAYS GONE TOO SOON
She had the voice of God. I miss her so much. RIP Karen.

I keep listening to this and im just astonished, her voice is so..smooth, i couldn't hear a single flaw or disturbance.
I still listen to this song from time to time. It just comes over me. I think of it suddenly and the tune just flows. It makes me smile. I love Karen Carpenter. She was a rare gem
Same happens to me once in a while
Beautiful voice and she looks so healthy in this video.
I grew up with Karen Carpenter. She had the most beautiful voice. She is missed. 😭
Beauty & Talent.
How we miss her beautiful voice.
She sung with such ease and musicality!...And she looked so sensuously attractive in this clip!

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

N'andy'm compah thanks
+Rebacca Josefina What's amazing is beautiful, simple poetry in which you understand exactly what is said and its meaning...no innuendos or reading between the lines...and it happens to be sung by one of the greatest voices.
So effortless

So true! My friend's uncle, who had the great fortune to work with her, said that unlike most singers, her voice required no warming up: she needed only to open her mouth and out would pour that liquid gold. Uncanny and amazing!
I was very young when I 1st heard this song. I thought it refreshingly free and innocent.. .sweet and sexy...gave me a sensation of wanting to live and love. To go out to the world with arms wide OPEN. Then I grew up, became an adult like we do and Now I hear it and cry.
They played so professionally.
A doçura da voz e a simplicidade da letras, muito show.
Jesus what a beautiful voice.
Her voice was so mellow and pretty T_T
Wow ....may I say that back in the early seventies I was a young 11 -13 year old boy that was crazy in love with Karen ....and that was before I was able to see her on any tv shows . Her voice to me both then and now ???? incredible she was and still is in my book ?? a Queen with a Angelic voice....now you get to sing to God in heaven and bloom like the flower you are.
I saw them perform in March 1975 at the Valley Forge Fair,Pa. Never would imagine she would be gone only 8 yrs later.Such a beautiful and one of a kind singer she was.
Hi! Hope you're doing fine. I made a cover of their song would love it if you can check it out.
From a time when you had to have talent to sing. She had a beautiful natural voice.
カレンの優しい歌声が大好き。
Karen was walking out of a restaurant with a friend as John Lennon was walking in; he stopped and said "I just wanted to say what a beautiful voice you have love !" Apparently, Karen was like a schoolgirl again for days ! She never quite believed it when other people said she was a wonderful singer.
Karen's voice always melts me every time. God bless you Karen, a beautiful soul indeed !
Jonge vrouw met een mooie fluweel zachte stem, veel te vroeg ons ontnomen ! R I P. Karen I will remember You
What a beautiful voice, she can never be replaced. Nightingale for sure...
Simply the best female pop singer of all time.....
素晴らしいです。何度聴いても最高ですね
