Petula Clark's Tribute to Karen Carpenter "For All We Know" 

Who else is crying listening to this ?

Karen had the best voice of anyone I've ever heard: tone, vibrato, etc. She had it all---and she was a great drummer. What a loss.

This is still, after all these years, the greatest tribute in the history of music. Incredible! Bravo Petula

I had to cry. I really loved the Carpenters, especially Karen, her smile, her soft voice, her talent... why did she have to go so early. Shame on the haters.

Two beautiful ladies with beautiful voices. What a wonderful tribute.

Thank you, dear Petula Clark, for your eloquent tribute to your sweet friend, the humble and phenomenally gifted Karen Carpenter. Tears are flowing.

I loved Karen Carpenter. I am crying when I'm listening to this song

Thank You Petula!... Karen Is Still So Missed!... GOD Bless You!

Petula is a true mistress of song also

I wish Karen could have realized how loved she was. There was no need at all for her tragic insecurities.

Beautiful tribute... Miss her so much. Her voice is like walking into your home after a long road trip and all you want to do is collapse on your favorite sofa with your feet up.

Her voice sounds sad...... I cried with this song too

Thank God for the pure, decent heart of Petula Clark. As solid, authentic and wondrous as any woman ever created. Her patina remains as benchmark for each aspiring ideal woman.

I Have to Say that Ms Petula Clarke's introduction, then Her Reading the Word's that Ms Karen Carpenter. Had apparently Written Day's before? Were Heart Gripping and Gut wrenchingly So Sad that I Couldn't keep from Crying 😭😂 while listening. Being I'm a 1950s Generation Born Baby Myself. The Carpenter's we're a Group I was Really fond of, & listened to them for Year's prior to Karen's Tragic Death ☠️💀 & then I Continued to This Day to Listen any Chance I Can. Her Voice was just Incredible, indescribable, & Had a Quality that was One of A Kind & Only Karen's. Over the Year's of Her & Richard Performing Together, I'd Never Seen them Live in Concert or A Smaller Say Venue, of particular Choice. To Me Her Voice & Thier Music 🎵🎶🎵 was Like an Angels 😇😇 from On High. That had to of Decended From Heaven Above itself. Those were My POV at least Over the Year's. Never Until a Few Years, before Her Passing was I Aware of Her Illness that, Eventually was Going to Take Her from Us All. What a Tragic Unnecessary Lose it Was Also. She was Way, Way to Young & Had so Much Life, STILL Ahead of Her. IT'S just So Sad, that I'm Still Confused from it All. Alas I Guess Some of Us just Aren't Meant to Last. So RIP Karen You Will Definitely be Missed. Thank You.

Great job! Karen is still sorely missed even after 38 years.

Thank you, Petula.

One lovely voice sings in memory of another.

She left us way too soon. Such a beautiful voice. Love you and miss you Karen.

Petula Clark is in fine voice as usual. So clear and in perfect tune...difficult to perform only two days after news of Karen Carpenter's passing.

its been 40 yrs now and we miss you, Karen ... love and peace

Two of my favorite singers. Glad they were good friends. Very nice tribute with both singing.

This was at Royal Albert Hall, February 6th, 1983, just two nights after Karen's death.

Great tribute, Petula. You WILL see her again. Guaranteed !

Thank you for the tribute, after all these years Karen is still missed. 😔❤🌹

A really touching tribute from an ace Singer to a suave and beautiful singer Karen Carpenter! Thanks Petula.

I'm a fan of Petula for this beautiful tribute.

Her opening monologue is so touching and sincere, you FEEL every word coming out of her mouth is REAL. Back then for inexplicable reasons, the Academy (Oscars) would invite other artists besides the original to sing the nominated song at the award show. Today, it would be UNTHINKABLE other than the original artist to perform the song at the awards. Karen, you are sooooo missed, your beautiful voice will continue to touch millions. And to the Downtown Girl, thank you for your moving tribute.

The most tragic thing about her death was that she knew she was killing herself by not having a proper diet. I really felt badly for Richard's loss. I know they were very close as was I with my little sister. She was my life, I was her hero. We were rarely seen apart growing up. When she passed in February of 2020, she took half my heart with her and that is a part of me I will never get back.

Thanks pet. X😢

beautiful tribute from one great singer to another

Decades later, I still weep for what we lost on Earth, but we gained in heaven! I knew all those years ago, listening to Karen sing, there was something terribly wrong 😔

karen's voice is a gem! reaches the soul!

Karen Carpenter, the perfect voice.

Thank you so.much.I.love Karen.I seen.The Carpenters when.i was22 years old.i am now.70. But.i still love her.I love.my.Lord.Jesus Christ too

It amassed me how she didn't believe in herself!

She was special with a voice no equal. Stationed in California when she and Richard started out. What a tragic loss for the music industry.

Arguably the best two female vocalists of my youth. Two ladies, two angelic voices.

The world lost a lot when Karen passed.

Thank you Petula........

Amazing how all the songs sung by Karen Carpenter, with all the unique arrangements by Richard Carpenter, are so timeless and sound as if they were made Only Yesterday. Very impressive and even Comforting. Showbizz was tough in the 70' and 80's and revues could be very cruelly written, influencing a great artist Karen was, and the tragic story we all know sadly enough, happening in her and Richard's life. Karen and Olivia now both are greatly missed. Never to be forgotten ♡♡

Petula you were my girl in the 60s

My first album bought in the US the first time I went there, in 1070 was The Carpenters 1st album. How I loved their music! Karen Caroenter's voice, so mellow, soothing. Smooth as butter! Such a gifted singer, gone too soon. But the music lasts forever

Ats amazing how beautiful her voice is. She soared over all others ( when singers actually had a good voice) not like today when there are very very few singers that can sing, they are entertainers. For me she IS the best of the best. It sounds like she didn't even have to try ot just FLOWED. I say this as a 63 year old man that really likes music. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I can hear a beautiful voice from a mile away. Karan is not gone, she is just singing for a different audience. Everyone has their own issues and deal with them the way they think they should. I don't even dare to try and say what should and shouldn't have been done, I nor anyone else can judge,blame . Only Karan knows. I don't know why things happen. All I know is whenever I her her voice it brings me peace and I'm glad I'm lucky enough to such a beautiful voice.

so sad, so tragic, best female voice ever. --rip Karen, your thought of often.

Beautiful Tribute... Karen may have left this world, but her voice will never die. 'On the day that you born the Angels got together... And decided to Create a Dream Come True.' In my lifetime I will never here another voice like hers... So Rare... So Incredibly Special. Beautiful compilation of photos you chose... Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing! 💖

So sweet Petula!

Well I was only 6 or 7 when she passed. She had amazing voice and I listen to her music now and then. So sad .

The clearest and most steady alto voice ever. Her timeless music will ring forever.

Beautiful 🌹❤️💔

lovely Bread song lyrics

she is still missed

I remember the announcement on Breakfast TV all those years ago, but any time I hear the Carpenters, it's as fresh as the day it was recorded. Why did nobody help her?

The most beautiful voice such an incredible woman her singing It's just incredible to me

From a lady to my lady ...thanks ..

What a haunting, emotional cover. Got tears in my eyes. What Petula felt, I felt, when news of Karen's death came out.

Inesquecível Karen Carpenter! Continua presente em nossas vidas! Bela homenagem!

Definitivamente imposible olvidar a Karen Carpenter, bella y muy talentosa artista con esa maravillosa voz, regalo de Dios. Sus canciones son únicas y muy emotivas. Gracias por ese homenaje tan merecido. Sus melodías las escucho con mucha emoción y sentimiento. Todas me gustan y me encanta *Close to you* todos los días la canto o susurro. Dios bendiga el alma de Karen en el Cielo 🙏🏻💖🎵

That was beautiful. Still missed, after all these years. Thankfully, we have all these videos and recordings that show us and future generations the beautiful legacy she left even at so young an age. Thanks, too, to Richard, for keeping her memory alive, and for all his excellent work on all their music together!

My heart breaks each time i hear her voice Her death is so tragic. I miss you Karen ❤

Great job

2022 - "Just a guy," thanks for uploading this. You did a great job editing the clips and photos together. A beautiful, moving tribute for Karen Carpenter from Petula Clark. Makes me all misty-eyed each time I watch it. The world loss Karen 39 years ago, but the pain and sadness is still palpable. And now Olivia Newton-John, Karen's good friend, has joined her. RIP Karen and Olivia and thank you both for leaving a tremendous legacy of music that will last forever.

Song was written by 2 members of the group Bread, Rob Royer and James Griffin with Fred Karlin

Girl you're voice so beautiful!

The memories keep flooding back ...& so are the tears.😢

Very sweet. We lost her way too soon.

KAREN CARPENTER (1950 - FOREVER) 🌹

great! as great as Karen!

R.I.P. KAREN

She's the best,we miss you Ms. Karen

I'm fans the Karen..💞 I love her voice and songs..!!! God bless forever..💐🌹🌻🌸🌷💮🌺🌼🍓💜

Thank you pet clark , I bought some of your records in the 1960s

It was the epitome of a female voice singer for me as a Young Man growing up you were incredible Karen amazing there were others in your time but you were truly fascinating to me I cherish my memories of you

This was a lovely tribute. As much as I loved Pet, with her many hits, my mind kept reaching out to hear Karen's iconic treatment of this classic song. It's a shame that her life was SO controlled -- first by her mother, then her brother (in other ways). I've spent a lifetime reading about, and following the life of Brian Wilson, another musical icon that was too easily "directed" by father Murry, bandmate Mike Love, and finally Dr. Landy. Fortunately he has largely freed himself from the "control" of so many others and continues to survive. Karen needed more than just a short-term "fix" from the NY doctor. She also needed (and DESERVED) support when she'd finished her Phil Ramone-produced personal record, and sadly, didn't get it from any of her California-based "family." [Similarly Brian didn't get Mikey's support for "Smile," either; it too was shelved, and he went into seclusion for a number of years.]

The best

I suffered with the same thing she had. It took me a very long time to get over it. Then I went from not eating until ate until I was s sick and took laxatives to get rid of it. . I love Karen her voice was so beautiful. We lost a beautiful person. 💔 I wish she could have been able to beat her eating disorder.

Karen, superstar

One of a kind

Thank You for sharing

RIP and peacefully Karen. Thank you for your music and thank you Petula for your tribute to her

I hope they meet each other once again someday. It guess it was a really tough blow for Petula back then.

Os Carpenters eram mágicos!

2024... Amen... Karen Anne is stunning...

Petula said it beautiful at Karen's funeral.im sure she was listening and smiling down on her( REST IN PEACE KAREN) gone so young but not forgotten Godbless you Amen🙏 🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🐬🐬🐬🐬🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷🌷🌟🌠🌈☮️☯️🙏 🌈🌟✌💏

Petula, I was at work. It came over the radio. I lost it. My boss sent me home. I sttill play her music and still cry.

Very good !

♥️♥️♥️🙏God bless🙏 💐🕊️RIP🎼🎶🎶🎶🎤🥁🎶🎶🎶

Wzruszające do łez.

I TRULY hope Karen (Carpenter) knew Christ Yeshua🙏✝️🙏Amen We were Blessed to have her🙏

I can't watch the whole thing. I had to stop at 2:48. How the hell people close to her couldn't see she needed help is just beyond me! I know Richard was battling drug demons of his own, but still, NO ONE? No one could see she was in free fall? No one? What a damn shame!

Nice 😢
