Karen Carpenter had this incredible ability to make you feel like she was singing directly to you. In fact, when Herb Alpert of A & M Records first heard a demo track of the Carpenters, he laid back on his couch and closed his eyes. When Karen's voice came on, she sounded as if she was right there ... on the couch ... singing to him.

It’s sad to think about the amazing future music we were denied from hearing due to her tragic and untimely passing. However, her death brought more public awareness to the dangers of eating disorders than probably any other event. Even most of us who worked in healthcare had never heard of anorexia and bulimia until it became publicly known because of Karen and, in death she probably ended up saving thousands of lives because of increased awareness and families learning the warning signs.

The guy who starred in phantom of the paradise, wrote that song, as well as the lyrics for evergreen, a hit for Barbara Streisand,the one and only Paul williams.

@willdwyer6782 Год назад

This is one of six tunes they recorded that were written by Paul Williams. He also wrote We've Only Just Begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, Close to You, I Kept on Loving You, and Let Me Be the One. Karen didn't play drums on this tune. That's Hal Blaine, probably most famous for the drum riff from 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon.

I got married June 22, 1975 and "I Won't Last a Day Without You" was our first dance. In the years since, I always manage to play this song for my wife on our anniversary - on one of my sound systems at home, in the car on the way to work or going out to celebrate, or have the piano player at the restaurant we're at play it for us, etc. After all these years it is always special and will always be "our" song. Thanks for playing it.

I can count the few times that I have shed tears when someone I didn't actually know died. One of those times was when I heard that Karen died.

I was too young to know who she was when she died. I wasn't introduced to her until the late '80s, whenever it was that "The Karen Carpenter Story" aired on TV. My dad suddenly became obsessed with her and started listening to all of her music, and his obsession passed on to me. Celebrity deaths don't really affect me, but it would have affected me had I known who she was at the time, and Richard's death, when it happens (hopefully later rather than sooner) will also affect me.

@carltonbakerii8274 Год назад

That woman's voice and that man's arrangements! What an amazing pair of artists! I haven't heard this one in ages and it's taken me right back to the 1972, listening to this at night when I should have been sleeping. Portable A.M. transistor radio under the pillow, volume on low and just grooving in dead of night. The piano at the end, repeating the chorus, slowly and with a last minute key change to close out, will get you every time. Wistful, thoughtful, romantic. Richard's work was genius.

@carolp5968 Год назад

This was the first time I have ever heard that stunning emotional piano solo at the end of this song, as it was probably cut to shorten it for the air-time radio version. WOW! We all recognize and appreciate the unbelievable talent of Karen's voice, but Richard brilliance on the piano is often overlooked. The Carpenters had a string of hit singles and albums through the early 1970s, and Richard composed many of the popular tunes that that paved their way to stardom.

@michaelasay8587 Год назад

Carol....Richard added the extra piano after she died

@calvinmurty8273 Год назад

Hi Carol, that piano bit was “newly” added to the track when the song was released in the compilation Singles 1969-1981 (released in 2000) and it was meant to link the song to Close To You, the next track, which starts with piano too, and the piano bit added was a perfect segue as it was modulated to the correct key that synched to the opening bars of Close to You. The original album and single (released in 1972 and 1974, respectively) did not have this piano part.

It's funny but I remember in the 70s that many critics dismissed The Carpenters as a "soft rock" fluff band. But they failed to take into account Richard's superior arrangements and Karen's ethereal way of making every song personal and universal at the same time, and of course that she was one of the great vocalists, male or female of our time. I'm glad I discovered her and the wonderful band back in the day and it's such a joy to see young people be tuned into the magic.

The Carpenters were a perfect duo in voice, piano, song writing, and expressing Love so we could all understand and feel it.

This song and the album ("A Song for You") that it is from, featured several of the top guns from the Wrecking Crew: Hal Blaine on Drums, Louie Shelton on Guitar and Joe Osborn on Bass. It is a testament to Richard Carpenter that he more than held his own with the studio cats. Tulsa born Leon Russell (also a member of the Wrecking Crew) wrote the title song which appeared as the 1st track and was reprised as the last track on the Album. The album was released in June 1972, but the six singles that were also on the album were released between August '71 and March '74. That last single being "I Won't Last A Day Without You". I grew up hearing the Carpenters on the Radio and watching them on TV. Cheers. 🎸😎 (yes, I am a big fan of the Wrecking Crew movie 🎬📽)

This song is my favorite of theirs. It's soft, clear, uplifting, and sweet. Those Carpenter siblings are amazing.

That was sweet Jay, the way you turn to your wife Amber and pointed at her, when the Carpenters sang, I could take the madness this world has to give but I won't last a day without. you.

Two Carpenters songs that you may not hear mentioned often but that are two of my very favorites are “This Masquerade” and “Goodbye To Love.” Please give them a listen! You won’t regret it!

@graciesmom1477 Год назад

I second that. They're two of my favorites also.

@lawrencedavis4406 Год назад

Ah, Goodbye to Love, with that contrast of heavenly vocals & ripping guitar solo that resembled Sonic Youth!! Many called it the greatest guitar solo ever...

@deborahscalise3215 Год назад

@@graciesmom1477 I second that and would add A Song For You to the two you mentioned. It shows off Karen's wonderful sultry low range that is sublime.

@scot60 Год назад

Agreed! Some of my favorites. Karen did a duo with Ella Fitzgerald on a tv special on Masquerade.

Karen and Richard Carpenter, they graced us with their music for a very brief time, what we have is music from heaven, before she left. Thank you Karen Thanks A&J for making Me Smile.

Guitar riffs and her uptempo chorus glimpses what could've been had they chosen. My favorite Carpenters tune

@richardc8795 Год назад

Any time Karen Carpenter sings, I melt into a puddle. 🫠 She was also an excellent drummer!!

@SLam-ve3yp Год назад

This is my favourite song from the Carpenters. I feel lucky that I grew up with this music.

@mariaportengen2959 Год назад

One of the most beautiful singing voices in the world. 🎶🎶❤️❤️

@Earcandy73 Год назад

The Carpenters are my favorite group of all time. Richard’s stellar piano playing and Karen’s incomparable voice. She was the best singer who ever lived. You really should review You’re the One.” It might even bring Jay to tears!

@tomschmitz261 Год назад

GOOD CHOICE!....

@michaelasay8587 Год назад

They need to do so much more of their music....Bless the Beasts and the Children, Road Ode, Argentina, A place to hideaway...just so many.

@russgilbertson8689 Год назад

I saw the Carpenters twice in concerts, they put a really good show and the hits were just fantastic. I had a crush on her .

@lt6134 Год назад

Brings back high school days and singing this in the car when it came on the radio.

@jeffreyflint6286 Год назад

I was there with you.

Amber's sideway glance at 5:20, after Jay's declaration, just warmed my heart for a week. And it's freezing here in Madrid!

@ilonafann8348 11 месяцев назад

This is a very beautiful song, and you're right, she has a gorgeous voice! Keep enjoying listening to her songs!

So touching.....the song and it's rendering......Carpenters have always been special.

@thomastimlin1724 Год назад

1974. It was recorded in 1972. Then when Karen and Richard were exhausted from touring they took this, added a few things and released as a single in Spring 1974 the way I heard the story. They just kept coming with it songs throughout the 1970's. Written by Paul Williams and music composed by Roger Nichols. They included it on their 1972 album A Song for You, but it would not be released as a single until 1974. All backup harmony vocals are Karen and Richard.

Gone way too soon. Her voice was always amazing no matter what song she sang. The Carpenters were one of the first duos that I had all their albums.

@jimneedham5031 Год назад

Her voice is so strong. So beautiful.

@amarisviv Год назад

The Carpenters were just so wholesome and their songs and Karen's voice is so dreamy!!!!

@donvito2682 Год назад

When I was young I'd listen to the radio waitin for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile Those were such happy times and not so long ago how I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again just like a long lost friend all the songs I loved so well Every sha-la-la-la every wo-o-wo-o still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin to sing, so fine When they get to the part wheres he's breakin her heart it can really make me cry, just like before, its yesterday once more Lookin back on how it was in years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies still sound so good to me As they melt the years away Every sha-la-la-la, Every wo-o-wo-o still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin to sing, so fine All my best memories come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry, just like before Its yesterday once more Yesterday once more Released in 1973 I was 13 at the time when I'd listen to the radio waitin for my favorite songs. I was aware of the Carpenters since 1970 when Close to You and We've only Just Begun was released.

Richard Carpenter wrote Yesterday Once More with John Bettis.

@beedeegee9374 Год назад

This is in my top 5 Carpenter songs.

@markjustice7894 Год назад

Her voice is so beautiful it makes me dizzy. And his piano and arrangements were incredible. Also the great musicians in their band. Listen to Only Yesterday it's my favorite Carpenters song. Also Solitaire I think is one of Karen's most powerful vocal moments.

@anthonyblakely399 Год назад

The Carpenters' music is about Romantic Love and relationships and they along with Bread are Legendary about this topic!!! Love me some Carpenters!!!!
