She looked gorgeous, healthy, and curvaceous here. She was perfect the way she was. How I wish she realised that. No one has ever matched that crystal clear, smooth as velvet voice.
She looks so amazing here! So healthy. This song melts my heart. It's amazing how effortlessly she could sing. I think Dion Warwick described it the best. She said if you could have touched Karen's voice it would be like satin.
@@pastelskies8466 yes - I didn't know that but I assumed. I was diagnosed in 1986 with anorexia at the age of 16. It was just after my mother (a former beauty queen obsessed with being thin) had me watch a cheerleading video of myself where I realized how "fat" I was. She said a lot. This preceded 2 decades of hospitalizations, etc. I fortunately had an amazing endocrinologist (Dr. Jerome S. Fischer) in San Antonio, TX who took me under his wing and I got better for the most part. I believe many people probably commented on this video to Karen at the time.
Young, beautiful, strong and healthy, with the world by the tail. Five years later she was fighting for her life against herself. So heartbreaking to lose this incredibly talented human being.
A RUclips Channel nothing.. its just a term here in the philippines that we uses whenever we get jealous on a certain situation.. just dont mind it hehehe 😬
@@nickterrett6613, i too had never seen her so "hippy", but I would NEVER say heavy or over weight. She was a beautiful curvy women with an Angelic voice. The world lost a wonderful sad human being. Anorexia is a true mental illness 😢😞🙏🌹
People often say that they wished they went to their concerts. Hundreds of men wished they could have dated or even married her. If given the chance to go back in time, I would have liked to try to help her to recover from this dreadful eating disorder. After she regained her health, I would walk away. 💙
Whitney Houston had the strongest female voice that I’ve ever heard, and perhaps the best range, but Karen Carpenter possessed the purist and most soothing vocals. Both departed much too soon.
Of course Whitney had a strong voice she expanded her lung capacity with all of her might.... Karen has the caress and smooth delivery of every single note
You are in great company here. I do to. Even though I was a child during these years, I loved the sound of her beautiful voice, which complimented her natural beauty. She was and still a woman with Class who never could be out performed or out matched. She was definitely one of God's precious gifts!!!💙
which is really what she preferred but unfortunately couldn't do her heart's wish. Her end was brought on by the physiological stresses of stardom as singer which placed on her system the deadly disease anorexia nervosa and she suffered a deadly heart attack at a very young age of 32. May she RIP and we find peace with her angelic voice and songs.
@@FEZKARA This was from a time when they thought she had finally kicked the disease and had put on weight. Sadly not long after this it came back with a vengeance and she lost all she had gained and far too much more that she couldn't afford to lose and not shortly afterwards it took her.
@@mrpoquahI’ve also read her blood glucose at the time she died was an astronomical 1110. They say anything over 300-400 is dangerously high(and I know as I am a diabetic
The other thing more amazing then her talent, was her natural beauty that could captivate anyone. If only she saw herself the way we did. Thanks Karen Carpenter for the beautiful music and grace you shared with us. Always missed and loved.....A Very Devoted Carpenter's Fan💝❤💖
I have never seen this before....but Karen looks the most beautiful I have ever seen her. She looks so happy and so content( I accept this may not have been the case). What a wonderful, beautiful soul. I hope she had some wonderful moments in her short life....like she gave millions of people, even now. We love you Karen.
Burt Bacharach left us yesterday February 8th, 2023....40 years and 4 days after the world lost Karen. Time flies and we were so fortunate to have them both.
Poor woman, if she could only see herself the way we did when she was alive things would have gone so much better for her. So pretty and talented she was.
Beautiful lady with a perfect voice! One of a kind and the best of all time. She looks very healthy in this performance! She was 5 feet four inches and had a beautiful body and face before anorexia. I always loved the clothes she wore in her performances! Elegant Karen you were and are precious RIP!
Have been trying for months to find a word to describe Karen Carpenter's voice. The only word so far is: Perfection. Would guess at least a Million people miss her a LOT!
@@oldcountryman2795disagree completely. Go check you ears out .because all the about has a greater vocal range than Karen. Karen had the voice but not the range
@@caseypoiter1527 It is your right as an American on this Independence Day to be wrong. And you are very wrong. Karen Carpenter was the greatest female vocalist in recording history.
disagree as I believe the best female vocalist ever to be Anni-Frid Lygnstad of ABBA. her voice is sweet like honey, and with a certain granular quality. also, Frida sings in English and Swedish as well as having sung in Spanish.
No hay palabras para describir tanta belleza en esa voz tan extraordinarmente perfecta. Gracias Karen Ann Carpenter por dejar el legado de tu voz. Es muy triste el que hayas partido tan joven. Que el Señor te tenga en su reino.
I'm. A. DRUMMER IN A BAND AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR THIS SONG AT WEDDINGS, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY REQUESTS WE GET FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG BY THE CARPENTERS, REST IN PEACE KAREN YOU ARE TRULY TRULY MISSED. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
My late mother's favorite singer. I hope Karen is singing to my mom in heaven as we speak. A truly gifted performer who left us all too soon. RIP Karen...RIP Ma...enjoy that voice.🙂
I'm an immortal and have listened to Karen sing through several of her incarnations here on earth and i just want to know, who is still listening to her in 2043?
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Close to you Wa, close to you Wa, close to you Ha, close to you La, close to you
She is an angel who came to our lives to give us beautiful music from the soul. Gone but still leaves us wanting more but settle for what we had. Which to me gave people love and admiration for this gift.
Europe here. Every time I see her in the videos and hear her sing, I want to beam myself back 50 years, fly over to the USA and drive to her and ask, "Can I help you in any way? You are beautiful and good just the way you are."
What a talented pair of siblings. Karen had the most beautiful voices of any female singer-ever. And Richard was/is a powerhouse talented singer/songwriter/musician/producer. May God Bless Richard and to Karen-R.I.P. Beautiful music that brings to tears to my eyes or a smile to my face when I hear it. I came from that generation and loved their music. But I didn't appreciate them enough back then. Now? I am getting ready to buy all their CDs. These songs remind me of a simpler, happier time and stirs emotions in me that are rich and deep. Love their music and appreciate them so much more these days.
Wonderful music. Magnificent lyrics. Melody that soothes and elevates the heart. I am Brazilian and this style of music is similar to Brazilian popular music and Bossa Nova. The Carpenters will continue to touch the hearts of generations.
This video is still emotional for me, she was so beautiful, so sweet, she didn't know oh😢, love you Karen, always

Absolutely.

A lot of people will say they will die or kill for voice like Morisette or Ariana Grande but me.. This is the kind of voice I would die for.
Don't . I wanna live with you forever .

I’ve been saying that too! She literally was an angel I believe.
I agree
Yes she does
You will never hear another pure beautiful voice like hers, ever, gives me goosebumps everytime
Also her family has done a great job protecting her legacy. Thank you for the music.
Sure!
You should hear me give tribute to Karen. Contact me for a audio clip.

Totally agree!
Whitney had a great voice. Karen is one of the greatest singers to ever live. There's a difference.
This is when The Carpenters were at their very best!

Sounds of heaven
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
No one could sing like this , the voice of all time .
No one can sing better, it's a shame she's not with us anymore, God bless her
Everyone is talking about her voice, no one is congratulating the clarinet player for their amazing trumpet solo
good point, were they serious? Karens voice makes up for it....in my opinion
😂
Or for Richard playing that amazing Baldwin grand piano sound on that cheesy Wurlitzer electric piano.
@@TheLarryBrown people on Top pop and Top Of The Pops don’t know what musical instruments sound like.

Breathtaking
I still cry for this beautiful singer, since passed away!
without a doubt the greatest voice that has ever passed through this world
She looks so beautiful 😻 in this footage really beautiful voice too
Rip Burt Bacharach an endless list of classics...
Beautiful voice, left us all too soon
Singing live , yet just as perfect as a warm summer breeze. Her voice was heartbreakingly honest, and simple perfection.
I miss her and her beautiful voice so much. It was a real sad day when she left us.
Karen left us far too soon. She and Richard produced some unforgettable songs...standards now.
Beautiful inside and outside 😍

She was an angel on earth!
Karen Carpenter simply always had the most superb and perfect pitch and will be sorely missed by many but her beautiful music will live on forever!🎼🎼😘
She liked a lot of the greats died tragically and too young. Her voice still cannot be matched close to 50 years later
Many great singers have come and gone, but Karen Carpenter's voice is the most perfect.
She looks great and sings effortlessly...so sad to have lost her at such a young age.
I'm an immortal and have listened to Karen sing through several of her incarnations here on earth and i just want to know, who is still listening to her in 2043?

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you
This song was about my future husband right before we married. Our wedding song was also Carpenters.

● この歌を初めて聴いたのは５０年ほど前だった。
私の好きなバカラックの楽曲のなかでも１，２を争うだろう。
だが、（今では）聴くたびに「寂しさ」も感じてしまう・・。
カレンの心の中を推し量る事は出来ないが、
「もったいない」・・そんな想いが、今も込み上げてくる。
My mom says this song reminds her of me. Geesh when your mom says that how humbled can you get? Karen’s voice and pure talent are unmatched.
I loved this song when I first heard it at 8 yrs old. They both were so good.............miss you Karen
Wonderful music. Magnificent lyrics. Melody that soothes and elevates the heart. I am Brazilian and this style of music is similar to Brazilian popular music and Bossa Nova. The Carpenters will continue to touch the hearts of generations.
Aeeeee, conterrâneo! 😊❤😊
The body has gone but her spirit and music will live on forever
I want to remember her like this. She looks great 🤩
AWESOME
