Her voice is just so exquisite. It's not huge, but it's perfect. And effortless. And she was just gorgeous in this video. Why couldn't she see it?
It probably was huge, she never pushed herself. Kept everything under control.
One of the purest voices ever... ever... lost way too young.
Love the kid-friendly take, reminds me of road trips with the folks, also John Denver, Olivia Newton-John...never have to skip a song.
1975 - I was 13 years old. Why is it, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night but I can still remember every word to this song?
1962 best year
I have the SAME problem!!! Could be because I’m older than you! LOL!!!!!
SAME!!!
Same!!!
Same 🎉 1962 is the year we were exposed to soooo many kinds of music. 😊
The line "No one knew the pain I was going through" just hit me. It takes on a whole new significance knowing that she died from anorexia
Such a great voice she had. I have to say I have never heard another woman sing as smooth as she has. 😊
Widely believed to be one of the best singers in recorded music history….
@@drieuxkoeppel8152, and to think that she would have been happy as a clam to just be the drummer. That was her real passion.
Hmm! Michelle you should check out Judith Durham from the Seekers! Her voice was ABSOLUTELY pure! We lost Judith in2022! There is a LOT of The Seekers music out there! I grew up with their music! It’s fantastic!
@wendyryder2708 I'm going to check her out. Thanks for the info.
Unique voice. Impossible to forget.
One of their best to me is...For All We Know.
When she passed music lost and we all lost. She was a beautiful soul.
Her brother Richard always told her the money was in the basement, meaning, when she sang in her lower register it was cash in the bank for them, just gorgeous.
the very best female voice in living memory. no question. some beautiful songs, some covers, some originals, always supreme! her pitch and delivery is beyond most humans.
"Only Yesterday" reached #1 on Billboard's Top 100 Adult Contemporary. it reached #4 on the pop Hot 100
I think the Carpenters musical classification was more “Easy Listening” than anything else.
In my opinion, Karen Carpenter is the greatest female vocalist ever !! Her voice was absolutely flawless and effortless !
The Carpenters may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I really believe no-one dislikes the Carpenters.
Love the Mary Tyler Moore sow reference - I can see that.
She died too young at only 32 years of age, Karen Carpenter you sing like an angel R.I.P. 🙏
All their songs are on the Carpenter playlist. Her voice is like smooth silk and their harmonising is truly magical❤️
It always make me chuckle when you call it ‘folk music’ 🤣
It’s ’adult contemporary’, if you want to label it 😉
Anywho, wait til you get to their song ‘Goodbye to Love’. THAT’S where I think they hit their peak..no coincidence it’s my fave of them.
On a side note, yeah Richard could arrange a song like nobody’s business. However, had he been able to lay off the coke, he might have been able to support Karen when she needed it the most. But, hey, it was the 70’s/80’s…the stuff was everywhere.
Richard was a genius at arranging.
That line, "In my own time, nobody knew, the pain I was going thru" gets me every time, knowing her internal battles. There will never be another Karen. They were considered soft rock, pop, or easy listening. Seeing Richard tweek all those knobs amazes me. Real, analog producing.
Taken way too soon...
Richard became skilled at working the equipment from his time at Bob Osborne's (bassist with the Wrecking Crew) studio.
Pitch perfect. What a wonderful voice.
The voice of an angel🦋
Love the Carpenters ! I had all their songs on cassette tapes and then got their double CD with all their songs when CD’s came out . Yes , I am a Baby Boomer 😀
I never thought of them as folk. I would say soft pop or maybe soft rock.
Easy Listening….you hear it and instantly feel as ease.
Yes, folk music generally doesn't use electronic instruments like electric bass, electric guitar or synths. I would consider Carpenters as pop music.
@@eggy1962 Great point.
Her music will live forever.
The Carpenters….will always be my favourite artist….no one hits you in the feels like Karen did…hearing and understanding every word….feeling like she was singing to you personally…. No one else has done that to me.
I love Linda Ronstadt and Anne Murray, too,three of the best voices ever
This song in 1975 hit Number 4 on Billboard hot 100 and number 1 on adult contemporary or now easy listening. Her brother Richard is a genius in arranging and producing.
I always thought of them as a version of soft rock. Her voice was so buttery smooth and mixed with Richard's writing and accompaniment just perfection.
I think you’d like “For All We Know” (Carpenters) from the movie “lovers & other strangers”. It won the Oscar for best song, 1971. Short, but lovely melody, and vocals, of course….❤
Her voice is mesmerizing.
Love The Carpenters!!!!
One of my favorites is "This Masquerade" by The Carpenters.
He may have heard his dad play the original version. It was by jazz guitarist, George Benson.
Written by Leon Russell
❤😊R.I.P. ANGEL!!!
Love love LOVE her voice! It is so smooth and velvety. Thank you for reacting to the Carpenters. They were a class act. She is very missed.
Same - everything you said. I wonder if Richard stopped watching the vids of their songs. He said he was angry with her during her decline and death because he thought she chose to ruin her health and thought of her as selfish. Years later when there was more light shed on Anorexia and he learned about the disease did he truly understand. He said he was consumed with regret and guilt. Death of a person can sometimes be a tragedy for EVERYONE. Thanks for your reaction.
Awww so sad. Thank you for sharing 👍😊
Well the horrible Mother was at fault telling Karen not to eat too many cookies! And I believe Richard was partially at fault...having a pill problem at the same time!!
@@michaelasay8587, his mother got him started on quaaludes.
@@michaelasay8587 I believe it was a producer who told Karen at the beginning of her career that she needed to lose weight to be successful.. I have also read that her mother agreed with the producer and put terrible pressure on Karen to get "skinny". Horrible.
@@tinasmallwood9546That's the true story!😢
These Carpenters reactions take me back. I forget how many Carpenters songs that I can sing every word.
There's a time to get crazy, then there's the carpenters, simple.😊
Carpenters music is timeless the music and The voice draws you in because of Karen Carpenter end and Richards Carpenters production an arrangement rest in peace Karen Carpenter
i'm so happy for you to find her. dosn't matter what song it is you just have to close your eyes and shake your head. that voice and the music they made is just unbelievable
HER VOICE !!!!! AMAZING !!!!! THANKS !!!!!
They don't write love songs like this anymore. Pure, heartfelt and genuine. I miss listening to the Carpenters. Thank you for sharing this song. Try doing a reaction to their song "On Top Of The World."
Karen Carpenter's voice was smooth, soothing, with impeccable diction, perfect pitch, and an amazing ability to sing in a low register seemingly effortlessly. She could sing about love and melancholy better than anyone. Incredible talent.
She was one of the first to exploit the proximity effect from singing extremely closely to a dynamic response microphone. Nowadays, any woman can be a "contralto" using the same technological trick. As for "love and melancholy" I would recommend Christa Ludwig singing "Der Abscheid" - Klemperer for best sonics, Bernstein for a video with subtitles.
This gal had the most perfect voice that I have ever heard. . . . . Hell of a drummer, as well.
Karen was a great drummer and singer. I was 20 yrs old when this came out. Solid Gold
The most beautiful voice ever. ❤❤❤
Bless you BP, you might well be the only person who's ever described the Carpenters as "folk"!
Yes! It was very popular!❤❤
Absolutely beautiful!! My favorite song of theirs! Love it so much!!
I have always been a HUGE Carpenters fan. I love to sing their music, and this is literally my very FAVORITE of their songs! I can listen to it over and over again (at the top of my lungs of course). Her vocal range is incredible, and one of the few females who can sing that deeper vocal that just resonates deep within your chest. Of course, the story of her life, and death, is devastating to say the least. One can only imagine what other magical works of art she and her brother would have come up with if only she were still with us. I love hearing that this is the kind of music you like to share with your kiddos. Not only is it 'clean' music, but it also really lets them learn the beauty and intricacies of awesome harmonies.
I'd forgotten about this song!
The Carpenters were the best backseat sing-along music.
Carpenters: "Superstar" and "Bless the Beasts and the Children."
Love Bless the Beasts and the Children! Doesn’t get enough love❣️
That sweet lady had one of the best voices EVER in music
I had "We've Only Just Begun" sung at my wedding - everyone told me afterwards how lovely the ceremony was because of that song!!! But my favorite song that Karen sings is "A Song For You" I don't think I've heard another artist's voice sound so crisp and clear! And the sax solo ain't too bad either!
A dear friend sang this at our wedding in 1983. It’s one of my favorite memories from that wonderful day! I saw Karen and Richard in concert my freshman year in high school, another very special memory for me. 💗
Her voice gives me literal goosebumps.
Easy listening
Karen sings like an angel her voice is so soothing to the ears and the heart. Glad you like to play all this beautiful music around your children, they will grow up with a liking for all this beautiful music and they will grow up better for it, very uplifting music. The music today can be very depressing or send you into a depression. We all DON'T need that sort of rubbish! Good on ya for playing beautiful music and keeping it alive for the new generation to appreciate! Thanks for that you sound like a genuinely good man, your wife is a lucky woman to have found you and to share a family with.
The most beautiful arrangement for a pop song I ever heard in my life (and I'm 53!).
I absolutely love Carpenters (everyone says The Carpenters, but there is no The in their name). I love pretty much every song they ever did.
I grew up with the Carpenters. Their music always bring such happy memories. Her voice is so velvety just like butter🧈 so soft and smooth. You actually get chills when she sings. Richards arrangements are phenomenal. Always on my playlist. I’m glad you enjoy them as well.
I haven't heard this song a long time. Thanks for the reminder!
Growing up listening to this beautiful music we always called it "Easy listening"
"Middle of the Road" was another useful descriptive.
A great upbeat Carpenters song is Top of the World
Don't even have to see them to recognize them! Listening to them now takes me back to my childhood and early hs years.
Love ❤
BEAUTIFUL KAREN ❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕
😆 Thank you for your reference to the Mary Tyler Moore show. 😆
At 66 now, I lived through this music but I just said: "The way this was produced, it sounds like the theme song to a made for TV comedy from the late seventies or eighties! Great minds brother 😆✌️
They are unforgettable. This is considered soft rock BP.
When I was growing up, I always considered it more easy listening than soft rock. But that’s just me.😊
@@lordessducky8494 I may have mis-spoke, it is more easy listening than soft rock, when I was a boy in the 60's the term easy listening meant something the old folks listened to lol
The Carpenters created the power ballad, you should listen Goodbye to Love
I think I hear an Angel Singing!
I enjoyed it too. Happy music! Loved them.
*Chills*. I have always loved The Carpenters and how Karen paints a beautiful portrait in her songs. ❤Rob? Have you ever seen Tori Holub? She's the closest voice to Karen Carpenter's of today. She does covers of their songs. Worth checking out one day. 😁👍
Karen Carpenter was amazing. Still love all their music.❤️✌🏻🎶
One of my personal favorites of the Carpenters. Karen also looks so beautiful and happy in this song.
The other song I really enjoy is Top of the World. She also looks so happy and beautiful in that one.
You got it! 😊
Have never heard the Carp referred to as folk. Have never even heard a folk song they would have sung. They are contemporary pop in my view
The amazing thing is she was a fantastic drummer and played the drums on most of their records!
I love the carpenters, try these songs....
- Happy
(this song marks the first occasion that a synthesizer was used on a Carpenters studio recording. Regardless, the synthesizer supported by Karen's signature drumming, the swell of the Carpenter harmonies, and the lyrics, ensure that "Happy" lives up to it's title. A joyous recording that had strong potential as a single in 1975)
- Goodbye to Love
(this was one of the first power ballads, to have a fuzz guitar solo).
- Sing
(this is a 1971 song written by Joe Raposo for the children's television show Sesame Street as its signature song, he also wrote many other songs for Sesame Street. In 1973, it gained popularity when performed by the Carpenters, it was a number 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100).
- Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft
(this song was originally done by Canadian rock band Klaatu, originally released in 1976 on their first album. The year following its release, American soft rock duo the Carpenters covered the song, using a crew of 160 musicians. The Carpenters version was used as The Recognized Anthem Of World Contact Day, The success of their version led to the duo receiving many letters from people asking when World Contact Day would be held so people could contact aliens in outer space) (look for the live version from their TV special)
Also try these.....
- Can't Smile Without You
- Superstar
And
- Jambalaya (On the Bayou)
(this song is a old country hit that many country artists covered and the Carpenters remade in their Style with a little country flare)
These are some of the songs I like the most of the Carpenters
This was their final non-cover classic.
This was one of their hits. They were never considered folk. Thank you though for recognizing the value of Karen and Richard.
It is said that she did her own backing vocals.
Love that warm, analog studio reverb!!
Mid-career - 1975. Very popular single... reached #4 on the Billboard chart.
ahhhhhh , the early 70's, a much simpler time. lost my mom in 74, lost my dad in 1980, things really got real, after 1980. had to grow up at 19. i think Karen Carpenter died in the early 80's, shame, she was one of my moms favorites. what a voice! nice reaction .... thank you........
In a few days, it will be 42 years since we lost Karen - February 4th, 1983.
One of the things I like best about this song is the drumming with the "Be My Baby" beat. Jim Gordon was the drummer on this track. The drum beat on "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes which goes, "boom, boom-boom, crash" has become known as the "Be My Baby" beat.
absolutely the drum pattern is 🔥
The legendary Jim Gordon
Thanks for this! My 2nd favorite song of Karen's right behind Superstar!
BP..great reaction to a superb song, superb band, and a once in a lifetime voice...you summed it up perfectly btw...car music!!!...family music....MOTR...careful there now though...you are approaching the stage of becoming a true yacht rock, MOTR, folk and country head!!! Lol....and BTW...NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!!..Cheers as always for brightening my day..Andi in Cornwall UK
My fav Carpenters -
This came from their "Horizon" album, 1975. The whole album is excellent. One of my favorites. Yes, the Carpenter's rarely made a mistake. 😊
Yes i believe this was a no. 1 song!
My favorite Carpenters song. One of so many but this is tops for me. Karen just never sounded better in my opinion.
Gorgeous contralto. Have you done Your Song by her? Or Solitaire? Excellent songs.
Hi BP! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. I have learned to appreciate The Carpenters more in recent years, much more than I did when I was young and they were popular. To be fair, I was only 2 years old when they broke through into the UK Charts back in 1970.
You talk about a new sound, but I think The Carpenters were just so versatile, as they released songs with very different styles around the same time. They didn't hit No.1 in the UK, but close. They had two No.2 hits. You've already reacted to 'Yesterday, Once More', but try their other biggest hit called 'Please Mr Postman' and you'll see another very different style. If you haven't already, also check out 'Top Of The World' and 'Jambalaya (On the Bayou)' for other different styles from this amazing duo. Karen Carpenter was taken from us far too early in his life. It's a shame her life was not a happier one. Æ 🙏
After hearing this I'm going to suggest another rabbit hole to go down and it's not a band but session drummer, Hal Blaine. Even though he didn't play on this song he still has played on many successful Carpenter's tracks. Over all around 6,000 songs including, "Top of the World", "Rainy Days & Mondays" and "(They Long to Be) Close to You". Other groups he's track for are The 5th Dimension - "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", Steely Dan - "Any World (That I'm Welcome To)". Elvis Presley - "Can't Help Falling in Love" & Paul Revere & the Raiders - "Indian Nation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)". This is a big rabbit hole my friend.
Bhomian Rhaposidy by Queen, Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen and Only yesterday by the Carpenters where RELEASED IN 1975 The SWEET 70s Baby
So wild to see you reacting to this! Never thought of that symbotic connection to The Mary Tyler Moore Show. You are so ecclectic and amazing and good looking. Hello from Israel.
There will never be another Karen Carpenter. I love her music. You might like Anne Murray's "Snowbird", "I Just Fall in Love Again", "You Needed Me" "Just Another Woman in Love" "Danny's Song" or "The End of The World".
Calling Occupants (of Interplanetary Craft) will blow your mind!! ❤❤❤
Hard to find a bad Carpenters song, but if you want to see a bit of her other side, please check out Help (live from Japan), a Beatles cover. She is drumming in that clip, and you can see her pure joy in being behind the kit. World class drummer.
BP ..please keep going with the no. 1 Karen Carpenter!! There are 50+ beautiful songs from her including so many non hits that they couldn't release because there were already so many hits at the same time!!😢😮
They sang this song in 1975. So it was years after what you were talking about, the Carpenters. They were a good band back in the day. That is what it reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore show to.
