Karen had the kind of voice that went to heaven when she did. There will never another voice like hers. It was one of a kind. Her talent will live forever in videos like this.
Love the Burt Bacharach and Hal David medley performed by the Carpenters. One good song after another arranged like one whole song. Richard Carpenter, you are a genius. Even Burt Bacharach acknowledged your talent arranging songs. Don't get tired listening to your sister, Karen Carpenter smooth and soothing voice.
Karen Carpenter had the most heavenly voice…one of a kind and no one has come close to her voice since she left us way too soon. I remember where I was when they announced she had died. I wish Karen could have found someone to love her for her and only her. And I wish her mother could have complimented her the way she did Richard. Karen made the Carpenters. Richard was a brilliant arranger but Karen is the one who made them famous. Rest in peace Karen. You are still missed and loved. I for one still listen to you all the time. You made a difference in my life and thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with all of us. You are still loved and missed.
Bee Gees, Beatles, Beach Boys and Burt Bacharach. The Carpenters come from the best source of inspiration! BTW, does anybody have the details of this performance? 1971?
Wow...I had never heard The Carpenters do this material. What's so impressive is they did Bacharach with Carpenter's signature sounds and harmonies. Thank you for posting. (Chicago)
