    Karen Carpenter is in a league of her own. Her voice was lush, intonation perfect. Her lower register is like no other. She died too young. She had so much more to give and share. She could sing the phone book and you would listen forever. Simply, the greatest pop voice ever. Period the end. Full stop.

      Well said! Karen was "The Voice" -- and a voice for the ages -- but Richard was and is an extraordinary musician. His instincts about what would make a great record were true in 1970, and are still true now. Anyone who thinks that "timeless" is a useless word should listen to the early songs of The Carpenters. They were a brother and sister whose talents deserve to echo throughout the universe a thousand years from now.

      Not to mention song choice. This is a cover, as many great Carpenters recordings were, in this case of a Leon Russell song. Richard found inspiration in such unlikely places: for instance Goodbye To Love started as just a title referred to in an old Bing Ctosby movie Richard saw on TV, and We've Only Just Begun was written by Paul Williams for a bank commercial, which also was seen on TV by Richard...

    This woman sounds as if she saw you across a crowded room and she wanted to get to know you better so she poured her heart out to you with her music. This lady was a beautiful person inside and out. I was 9 and a half years old when she passed away. I am almost 48 years old now. Her music still embraces me after all these years. She was really great. I think that her music and her memories will live on forever

      She couldn't sing opera. She wouldn't be able to sing many Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston or Lady Gaga songs in the way that they did. Anyway, Karen is unique and great at the type of songs she sings which are mostly ballads.

      No she didn't have the high pitch of a Whitney or Mariah but they didn't (or don't) have the quality of voice Karen had. I don't listen to Lady Gaga but from what I have heard of her she is no match for Karen.

      @@ChildOfThe1970s Whitney Houston had a great set of pipes, but she didn't know what to do with them. Ditto for Mariah Carey. Karen Carpenter had very good pipes, and an exquisite understanding of how to sing. Similarly, people also used to say, "So-and-so has better pipes than Sinatra," and yet no one knew how to put over a song like he did.

      No doubt Whitney had glorious pipes, but seemed unhappy with her arrangements. Over hundreds of performances she'd sung, I never heard her sing the same song the same way twice & not EVER like her Studio Versions. Something struck me as questionable with that? 😳

Every Day is a Holiday when I hear Her Voice. She just thought of herself as the girl next door, who wanted to drum and sing. She has touched so many lives and hearts. She's been with the Heavenly Choir for 39 Years...You know she's singing still...
