From a 56yo black man & veteran. Still bring a tear. I was a child, mom listened to 70s music when I heard The Carpenters. Tragic death.

@krazyj1957 2 месяца назад

Karen Carpenter passed away in 1983 at 32 years old. Richard Carpenter is still alive and well at 77 years old.

@notablindliberal896 5 месяцев назад

I'm pushing 60 years old and heard this voice for the first time in the early 70s, and still to this day, she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Thanks for your reaction.

@richardwhite2344 5 месяцев назад

I totally agree. I have heard hundreds, maybe thousands of voices in my lifetime and NOBODY had more of a phenomenal voice hen Karen Anne Carpenter

@tomschmitz-dj1fg 3 месяца назад

@tonym362 5 месяцев назад

Karen had a beautiful , haunting, in the best way, voice. There will never be another. R.I.P

@wbw910 2 месяца назад

Karen Carpenter and Whitney Houston. 2 of the finest female voices taken from us much too soon.

@scottgorski7931 5 месяцев назад

The song started as a commercial for a bank looking for young couples as customers starting married life. Richard heard it and knew what to do. This was THE song at weddings in the 70's.

@stephenstubbs7682 5 месяцев назад

The absolute greatest female singing voice of my lifetime. And I listen to all the others. When that perfect pitch 3.5 octave voice sings, she grabs your heart and then your soul. Brother Richard was a genius with picking the songs and doing the arrangements. Best American duo/group of the 70s per the experts.❤❤❤

@carolynadams9537 5 месяцев назад

If you have any doubts about Karen being the greatest female contralto vocalist of all times, please listen to several of the acapella recordings floating around You Tube these days. Also note there was no auto tune and microphones were rudimentary in the 70’s-just her perfect pitch voice. Karen had incredible breath control (you can’t even see her taking breaths), natural note stretching, and no voice training. She was God’s gift of vocal perfection.

@marksample6230 5 месяцев назад

Im a 58 yr old metal head and this still sounds amazing as it did back when it was new. Never heard another voice like hers.

Even the pop music on the radio was infinitely better than the trash of the last few decades. Rock very quickly went demonic, perhaps even from it's inception, despite the innocent appearance.

Yes. Bring back Herb Albert and the Taiwana band.

@lonestarladytyler1980 2 месяца назад

This song was released in 1970 and I got married in January 1971, so of course I had to have this song sung at my wedding. So did about a million other brides! :)

Raised on blues and soul The Carpenters opened up a whole new world for me Karen was something else it genuinely saddened me when she passed away

@martyemmons1859 5 месяцев назад

Karen Carpenter is unbelievable. Even after all these years (53 yrs), I'm still moved when I hear her sing. I bought their Close To You album back in 1971. After listening to whole album, my two favorite songs are: "Mr. Guder" "Love Is Surrender" The live performance of "Mr. Guder" should be watched because Karen looks so happy on the drums. Especially during the drum solo. When I hear Karen Carpenter sing, automatically I'm in 1971 again. Thanks Ashley, for reacting to "We've Only Just Begun". Just in case any of your subscribers that haven't heard Karen Carpenter sing. I'm sure they'll feel like I do.

@jbs256 5 месяцев назад

Me too! Mr. Guder is one of my top picks, always. That and The Bacharach/David Medley. I need to share the work of Harvey Stig. The channel is his name. He’s on a mission to save and restore Carpenters videos. He’s been at it a year and OMG what he’s done. But, the 1973 Tonight Show he restored is his masterpiece. That has the live Mr. Guder performance with more. It’s on the Johnny Carson channel. Linked below. Enjoy! Be amazed! It’s now like it aired yesterday (once more), pardon the pun.

@jazzmaan707 5 месяцев назад

Karen had the best voice I have heard since 1974. There is no other voice that comes close to making you feel, like she is singing directly to you. Karen had something in her voice, that always reached deep into our souls, as us "old guys" will tell you. She left us way to early.

@johnvalentina 5 месяцев назад

Superstar (later remade by Luther Vandross), Close to You, Goodbye to Love, Masquerade, Rainy Days and Mondays, Top of the World, Only Yesterday are some of Carpenters other big hits.

@Tessiefaye 5 месяцев назад

You can't argue that this is one of their signature songs from the start but there a so many other beautiful Carpenter songs, Rainy Days and Monday's, Yesterday Once More, Goodbye to love, Solitaire and Karen's very last song before she passed away, Now.

@TooDarnSoulful 5 месяцев назад

Just superb harmonies, today's music just can't live with tunes like this !❤

@Blasserman 5 месяцев назад

This was one of the most go to 'Wedding songs' in the 70's. I think it's easy to see why.

@codeblood2000 5 месяцев назад

Such a beautiful song great Harmony and Karen Carpenter's voice is just lovely

@toddhutchins2492 5 месяцев назад

Once they released this song, you couldn't find a wedding or reception where this song wasn't played. I have a tape of my wedding and they are playing this song. And to think it was originally a bank commercial. Karen is also an awesome drummer/percussionist.

@michaelhwenig 5 месяцев назад

A timeless pitch perfect soothing voice. So natural and effortless. She could sing any genre of music easily - blues, jazz, country, pop, etc. Do not forget. She was a world class drummer while singing. ❤

@jokuz9133 5 месяцев назад

This was the #1 wedding song for many years. Karen started playing the drums in her senior in high school & almost overnight became one the best drummers

@myownchannel247 5 месяцев назад

The Carpenters song you’re looking for is Superstar, I promise 😉

@tiffanyspencer2782 5 месяцев назад

Awwww, Ashley...that reaction was beautiful! 😊...I had to blink my tears away. You smiled the whole time. That's what The Carpenters make you feel.

@GaryBonaducci 26 дней назад

LOL... I love how you're breathless at 3:30 when she sings "So much of Life ahead, we'll find a place where there's room to grow..." 😊 It's one of my favorite moments in the song too! 😄

@hansgordy 5 месяцев назад

This song just gave me the chills... for about the 1000th time. It's an emotional trip. Karen and her brother Richard created something that will never be copied. They both deserve credit. Karen's voice is one of the greats in history... and Richard's arranging and involvement in the harmonies is historic. Thank you Carpenters.

@laminage Месяц назад

This was written by Paul Williams (not of The Temptations), that was for an Insurance Company. It was also used in 1990 when All My Children celebrated it's 20th Anniversry. It also got them a Grammy Award for best Pop Performance by A Duo or Group. In the 1990's a Tribute Album was released called If I Were A Carpenter where Grunge groups did their versions of Carpenters songs. In the UK a TV Special took place where The Carpenters Music was performed but there was a mistake, they did "Please Mr. Postman" but it was covered by The Marvellettes. She was also close Friends with Olivia Newton-John (RIP).

@dagmar.6954 5 месяцев назад

Karen was one of a kind. There will never be another like her. She had such a pure calming voice. And she was a terrific drummer. That was her passion even more than singing. Sadly we lost her so young. Thankfully we have her legacy left in her music. The Carpenters had so many great songs such as "Rainy Days & Mondays", "(They Long To Be) Close To You", "For All We Know", "Superstar", "Goodbye To Love", "Top Of The World", "Sing", "Yesterday Once More", "I Won't Last A Day Without You", "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday", "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over the World)", "I Need To Be In Love" & so many more.

@davidfischer1138 Месяц назад

There are other Karen's out there. Will they by discovered, get production support, song writing, background vocals and instruments like Karen had. Sadly, probably not.

@keymack2477 5 месяцев назад

Great reaction, Ash!! If you are interested there is a channel here on YT, just a few doors down the hall from yours, in which the guy analyzes vocals from prominent singers. The channel is called Wings of Pegasus and he proves in one of his videos that Karen is even more pitch perfect live than in the recorded version of a song! RIP to a beautiful soul.

@miltonslocum8957 5 месяцев назад

Loved your reaction Ashley. My wife and I love the Carpenters. And this song in particular. It came out on August 21, 1970 and we just got married on August 16th in the chapel of the college we were attending. The words of the song gave so much meaning to us. We immediately bought there album Close to You which this song is on. We even got a chance to see them live a couple of years later. It was amazing! And Karen could really play the drums. We also play this song on our anniversary every year. Thanks for your reaction and heartfelt comments. Best wishes!❤

@randieandjodistrom854 5 месяцев назад

The "Close To You" album by the Carpenters was the very first record I ever purchased, and this song was the first track--yes, I am that old. I was also blessed to see the Carpenters in concert at the United States Air Force Academy when I was a cadet (I graduated and served in the United States Air Force for 30 years--again, I'm that old). The only group I can think of that compares to the Carpenters is Fleetwood Mac--they are both amazing. If you've not seen the music video for "Rainy Days and Mondays," be prepared to be blown away.

@calme-dx2dp 5 месяцев назад

She was told to actually sing in a higher pitch, but refused saying the audience is with a lower female voice. She was right. Never wanted to be a singer, but because of the contract, her brother convinced her to. She already had an all female band with a lead singer (not her) she was the lead drummer. This song was our graduation song back in the 70s.

"The money is in the basement" is what KC or Richard said.

@tomschmitz-dj1fg 3 месяца назад

true, even though she actually had a 4 octave range. Of course it's also what one does in those octaves.. Master vocalist (not just a singer) and storyteller was she. Ultimate vocalist who sang TO the listener NOT at them...@@SFPhilo

@Uncle-Charlie 5 месяцев назад

Great job reacting to this Ashley!

@quixote6942 5 месяцев назад

This Song was originally a Commercial Jingle (Written by Paul Williams, a very prolific songwriter) . Richard Carpenter brought it to his sister Karen and the rest is Rock History.

It's hard to top this one, but, imho, "Hurting Each Other" (a remake of a 1965 song that was done by many artists--kind of like "Superstar," which The Carpenters also did) comes pretty close!

I was just a kid when this was out and I assure you, I had the same reaction!! The 70s and 80s had not only great Artists, but the songwriting and production were the best. But ultimately what you are reacting to is the spirit of quality, amazing music!! Check out some "Heatwave" sometime. Their stuff will touch u. Nerdy British guy was the keyboard player and songwriter in the band. He was also the writer of Thriller and tons more. Enjoy!!

This song was written by Paul Williams for a bank commercial for the Crocker Bank (no longer Crocker) in California. Apparently, it was a written as a wedding commericail, but Rickard heard the commercial and immediately wanted to record it. The rest is history : )
