THE CARPENTERS Karen Drum Solo 1976 Reaction

[@physicslady1678]

That was fun to watch-I've never seen her look so happy

[@mstewart109]

Yes John Denver. Lol. My aunt played drums in school. Was very good I was told. Back in 40s. Girls were unheard of doing that

[@michaelshafer5192]

this all Karen ever wanted to do. she never enjoyed being up front and singing. so glad this is available to see her genuine joy.

[@barbsmith5465]

She was so special.

[@laviniamccarney3215]

Apparently she loved drumming she was reluctant to come out to the front to sing as you say a talent lost to young

[@gbwillson]

She was doing what she loved to do. I always loved her silky voice! I've never heard a voice quite like hers. About the only good that came from her early death is it made people aware of anorexia.

It was a John Denver special.

[@jbs256]

It was a Carpenters Special, John and Victor Borge were the guests.

Karen was an awesome musician in general. Love seeing her smile and just enjoy herself. Yeah...John Denver. Too funny. Loved that you found this to review.
On another note...found a hysterically funny video of Home Free...both their singing this song and the mess ups in the live show were new and entertaining as he...ck. Thought you might enjoy it so here’s the link.

It was the glockenspiel.

Better example of her drumming in Karen Carpenter ,kick ass drummer on You tube

[@BBaker-sf9vc]

According to her brother, she considered herself a drummer who sang.....not a singer who played drums.
