      the song "superstar" was released in 1971 and reached #2 on the charts and became one of the carpenters best known hits as they were actually the top u.s. hitmakers of the 1970's.. legend has it she recorded this song on one take and reading the lyrics off a napkin! incredible !!and SHE WAS ONLY 21 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME! OTHERWORLDLY!!...

    It’s so crazy... I’m 55.. I love ALL music.. from Billy Joel - to Jay Z - to AC/DC to Carrie Underwood - Jackson Browne - Lady Gaga.. Bach... all of it. But NOBODY moves me the way Karen Carpenter does. Every time I hear her voice I cry. I cannot explain it.... she had the most pure and perfect voice; it stops me in my tracks. Simply incredible and unmatched.

      She was also one of my first crushes as a kid lol
      She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

Richard Carpenter the “Genius” he always never disappoints and has such an amazing paint brush using God’s music! Yep she was a sad, loving person who couldn’t understand the dark ways of the world.
      Karen was the “Angel” that sang out of God’s Light!
      Karen Carpenter IMO is period “The best female vocalist “ EVER! Can’t be touch. Let’s not forget her genius brother Richard Carpenter producer, composer, musician extraordinary!

    Written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett and recorded a couple of times before The Carpenters covered it. Was originally supposed to be called "Groupie". About a girl who had a one night stand with her favorite musician. He told her he loved her. He moved on to play in another city. She can't get him out of her head. He isn't coming back. She is heartbroken and in denial and writes him a letter and thinks that it will convince him to come back soon, but he doesn't feel the same way. She is heartbroken and is starting to realize that she is only fooling herself, and she probably will never see him again. A real tearjerker of a song, and a tremendous vocal performance. If you only had one song to prove that Karen Carpenter is the G.O.A.T., then this would be it!

I knew I had heard correctly.

That's why we just say she had the voice of an angel. It's like the sun on a bright autumn day with the smell of smoke drifting through the trees. Her voice is at once smooth and warm, but with an underlying melancholy that stops you in your tracks.

    That’s exactly what the song is about! Nice interpretation!
    Her brother Richard (on keys) was the musician of the family originally and Karen tagged along, only playing drums in his jazz trio at first when she was 16.
    Like most, he was shopping around for a record deal but they weren’t interested in instrumentalists and wanted vocal groups. After throwing something together quickly THAT VOICE just came out after being hidden for so long. Can you imagine?
    She did not enjoy being the center of attention at first, especially as they took her from behind the drums and she was standing out front. She always thought of herself as drummer first, singer 2nd.
    Check out the videos on here of her tearing it up in her drum solos! Amazing 😻

    Aww great song great reaction. Carpenters were a brother sister duo. Richard wrote most their songs was a great backup singer, and was an incredible musician. Karen had the voice of an angel and could play a mean drum. A VERY good drummer. She liked doing that better then singing. Her brother coaxed her from behind the drums when he heard her voice and she was never truly comfortable. She was taken from us much to young dying of anorexia. Her death brought much attention to the eating disorder. RIP Karen. Now you truly sing with the angels 👼👼

She’s widely considered to be one of the finest singers of all time, if not THE finest voice ever recorded. Every time i hear her voice, i start crying. What a waste.

    Such a voice!!! The brother/sister angle is impressive since he wrote songs for her. It breaks my heart that she died from anorexia. It wasn't understood then. She could rock the drums too! Such an amazing young woman. 😿💘

    Her voice and the arrangements make you wish there were many more Carpenter songs recorded, if only she had lived and they had ten more years of music. i can still remember my first memory of this song, i was about 7 and riding in the backseat of the car

    OMG I have goosebumps when she sings any song, I always search for my fave voices story, about her, she was put aside back in 70s, she was a woman, (and look what happens with Tina Turner) another story her mom's was more kinda of her brother, she feel it, maybe a rejection, I don't know, seems like she try to get attention, no internet, black and white tv, her brother is such cool guy, but I think some people, mostly needs to aprove from parents, mom or dad, but based my reading, her brother loves her 'til the moon, another voice who's gone, guys I read that he never sing again after her passed away, sad story, but she was just so lovely, and thank you for bring this video, loved your reaction girl ❤️💋

    It's so cool how you picked up her singing qualities..she sang from the heart..her pitch is perfect..it touches our hearts...
    I love her music since the 70's when my parents had albums of her...i used to play them ..
    She always sang about her life..she was famous..so very busy..and must have fallen for another superstar..and seeing him was impossible...so we can relate to this very much...

    Her voice was so rich, and warm it was almost comforting. She had a way of making her voice intimate; like she was singing just for you. You're right: there's never been another like her. You might like another one of my favorites: For All We Know.

    Raw, powerful, angelic, ethereal, majestic...nobody can touch her, NOBODY, she's on a level that cannot be described, Paul McCartney said she was the best female pop singer on the planet, syrupy pop sure but I was 14 at this time and sadly did not realize just how truly amazing she was until much later.

    The depth and richness of her vocal still makes me tear up, and I’ve heard this song a billion times.... one of my favorite songs. Interesting background to the song, and you picked up on it. Originally written by Leon Russell, and Bonnie Bramlett, released as “Groupie(Superstar)”, the Delaney & Bonnie version, is very soulful, and from the perspective of an experienced woman. The Carpenters version changed the line “ I can hardly wait to sleep with you again”, to “be with you again”. Rita Coolidge also does a lovely version. Luther Vandross does one too, but it’s too busy for my taste.

    There are those that feel that some of her songs were a reflection of what was happening in her life thus adding an emotive depth to her singing. That "haunting" quality drew many to her voice. A voice so beautiful and distinctive that we will never hear the like again.
