- In 1987, Richard Carpenter was interviewed by Gary Collins on Gary's show, "Hour Magazine," to publicize the release of Richard's solo album "Time."
I created this video under another account that I used to have, "Perfect Day."
Richard is a master arranger, and Karen had an magnificent voice. They also truly loved and respected each other. The rest is history.
richard was so goodlooking
Totally. Great shoulders.
Katrina Smith I know!!!!😍😍✨
He's an old fart now!
Don't be disrespectful! He was and still is a very good-looking man
Richard nowadays is a cool old dude.
What a good interview. I forgot about Mr. Collins. He really listened to the answers and followed through with care.
God bless him always. Both of them. Makes me tear and yet smile at the same time.
this was really a terrific interview.
relaxed and very nicely done.
I love the album, and i'm glad still own it
Richard was handsome.
Agree!! :)
Richard looks so good here! He doesn't have that pained, anxious look on his face that he sometimes had in the 1983/84 interviews. (I personally think he was still raw from Karen's passing at that time) And what a shame that Gary Collins turned into such a bad drinker. He was a good interviewer! Another shame is that RC's solo album never took off. I have the vinyl here at my house and I love it!!
What makes me sick is that he married his first cousin.
Horror Fan. I cannot agree. In my country (Australia), first cousin marriage is not considered incest and has been perfectly legal since 1961.
Mary was an adopted first cousin. She was not an actual first cousin by blood. There is a story behind it but that is family business and probably should remain that way as it is personal. I didn't meet the Rudolphs or Tatums honestly, but I do remember meeting a few of the Carpenters, Lynns, and the Bih-----s (the Bih-----s were related by marriage to George and not blood relation - steps). Karen also did tell me the story behind Mary's adoption, but like said, family business. I'm not actual family so not my place.

@@lindsaynicole1218 you still haven't answered me from last time about what name you used to use before 'AD Smith23'. Well?
Richard is so handsome.
Please.. he's very effeminate and hasn't aged well.
Some women love handsome musicians who aren’t macho. The man aged beautifully, kept his weight, his hair, and his musical talents. What more do you want?
I used to love watching hour magazine
🙋🌹🌹🌹🌞🌼🌼🌼СОЛНЫШКО НАШЕ🌞🌺🌺🌺🌞❤️❤️❤️🌎🌏🌍Карен очень сильно любила(и до сих пор ЛЮБИТ-душа живёт вечно!) брата Ричарда,как и он её.Они всегда вместе,рядом светятся ,как солнышко❤️🌞❤️🌞❤️🌞
Richard missed her so much
I always thought Richard Carpenter was a tall drink of water. LOL He is a very skillful musician.
Karen had a phenomenal voice, but once she moved away from the drums her voice was pretty much her entire contribution. Richard did everything else. A musical genius.
Although Richard did not originally approve of Karen's solo album, her tragic passing pushed its release by her fans to hear her voice one last time. Her passing also pushed Richard to continue his creative musical talents by going solo, creating his own album with his voice and instrumental piano & performing for the world. He also finally pursued his own personal life by marrying the love of his life, Mary, and raising 5 beautiful & talented Carpenter children. Karen gave her brother new life.
Honestly, Karen told me that she never would have done a solo album if Richard hadn't been the one to suggest doing it in the first place. Karen was happy with all that her and her brother had accomplished together and was looking forward to many more accomplishments as well. Thanks for your good comments and insights. Karen held up the release because she didn't want to deal with 'going solo' type publicity as Karen was happy working with her brother and being a major part of all that.
What was his problem with her solo release anyway? So many people in the family trying to control her 🤨
@@adriandowningiii8395sinceramente,quando Karen falou essas coisas há você,onde está a prova?
Tudo que você se refere com o que Karen lhe falou,não bate com a realidade...
Se você tivesse sido tão próximo a ela,saberia do lado sombrio da história, não???
Acho que se você realmente falou com Karen alguma vez,você só ouviu mentiras e negação
That dress code ‘ good lord ! What were we thinking back then… it’s so Gap at the mall that I actually worked at that year..
Seriously...Karen and Agnes meddled in Richard's love life that contributed to his problems with medications. They are not to blame for his addictions, anymore than he is for Karen's disease. Imperfect human beings, like all of us. Concentrate on the wonderful music, which Richard was a HUGE part of. His solo albums are wonderful.
No dear friend. You are mistaken. Richard was always wound up from working and touring and was having trouble sleeping. Back then, people did not realize how dangerously addictive qualudes were. Their Mom gave them to Rich to help him sleep. He innocently got addicted. He got help and is healed. Praise God. We have no right to point fingers at anyone when Only God knows.
Actually, both of your comments are true. It's been pretty well documented that it was virtually impossible for Richard to have a successful love life while his mother and Karen were around. At the very least, they made it extremely difficult. Keep in mind, eating disorders are accompanied by a myriad of emotional problems, for the patient and their family, and Karen's case was one of the worst that experts had seen. God only knows the true extent of dysfunction that went on in that family.
No one is to blame for anyone's problems. His Mom gave him Qualudes to help him sleep. Doctors back then did not know how addictive they actually were.
Funny Jane. Experts know that brothers and sisters compliment and don't usually compete with one another. I can hardly call any of the 'shrinks' that worked with Karen to be experts by any stretch of the imagination. Honestly, all people make mistakes; experts do not make mistakes; experts are just figments of their own imaginations or, in other words, expert can be a word that 'con artists' bounce around to try and sound credible to those less knowing.
@@lvelez1999 once again, the mother was instrumental and a detriment in her children's lives. Chris was trying to dismiss anyone being responsible for anything in that family. Richard drove Karen hard.
It's actually very good album
All Randy did was unearth the sad, fucked up truth that Richard knew all along.
Sim concordo com você.....
As pessoas querem passar pano para a família dela,sabendo de tudo que fizeram contra ela mesma😢
I think it helps him cope with Karen's death. Talking and replaying her music and about her life.
It’s hard for him cos all questions needed him to answer. How can he manage?
He’s the only person on the family
Is he still alive 2018? ( RICHARD).
Yes, he's 72.
72. on October ,15 ,2018.
75 2022
Actually he was an elderly
Still alive in 2024. Touring the UK this year.
RC looks a bit thin here. Always felt he & Karen shared a bit of each other's problems. She was known to take a Quaaludes here & there... maybe he forgot a meal once in a while too? (Obviously not to that degree!) In any case, I'm a fan.
Hes young, look at him today, he never had a weight issue. Making stuff up for youtube is poor taste.
Jean Claude Van Dam lookalike.
un-timely? A blind man could see she was starving herself and that it could only lead to death..... She killed herself.
upoutmyfaceb0y hind sight is 20/20
Actually, Karen was 108 pounds when she passed away on February 4, 1983. Karen called me on the day before, February 3rd, and told me about Tom signing the divorce papers and honestly, Karen was expecting her visitor (menstruation) to start on the next day or so. Karen was doing well. Karen's heart just stopped. It was unexpected. Karen did have a short life line by her thumb, but still unexpected. Karen also had a blood sugar level of over 1100 which would stop anyone's heart, but everyone was so focused on her eating and lack thereof that no one thought about seeing if Karen had developed diabetes.
what happened to Karen in this family...that's the question!
Klaus Karnath nothing happened I lived across the street in Downey I used to wash Richards cars I always said 5 bucks he always gave me 30.00 there was nothing but good vibes from that house I have a cousin who also had anorexia, by luck she's still here!!! why do people like you think oh they must have sex or something sick!!
Victoria Louden - When did he say they were having sex? Perhaps he was talking about their mother who apparently favoured Richard. Nobody truly knows their neighbours or what goes on behind closed doors.
She was taking the drug ipecac for a long time to throw up and it weakened her heart and caused her heart attack.
Nothing mysterious IMO. She was a victim of her mom's favoritism of her brother, who obviously couldn't see the problem due to being the favorite. All 3 were prone to severe OCD/perfectionism traits & the stress of the industry pushed 2 of them into addictive behavior. 1 just didn't get help in time.
She did get help. Her family put her in a hospital and she gained weight. But she went right back to starving herself and taking the drug ipecac which made her have the heart attack and killed her. If she didn't take that drug she wouldn't have died. It was on a TV show that goes over celebrities' autopsy reports and deaths.
Poor Karen....
Richard loved Karen but he is a VERY controlling man. Both he and his mothers controlling nature caused and or contributed to her demise. Randy Schmidt is a great guy and his book gave Karen a voice she was never able to use in her life
Uh, do you know these people, or do you just swallow whatever the media spits out? You need to keep your know-nothing opinions to yourself. You have no idea what happened to cause Karen's decline. None! Get a life and stop pretending to be so wise about celebrities you have never met or could ever hope to understand.
you are correct, but Karen was also an extreme control freak ......
Ariana Bascombe c
Thank you Ariana, much agreed. Did you ever meet Karen and/or Richard Ariana?
@@groofoot not as much as Richard was from what was documented...
Liar...if Karen is still alive today,we know as her huge fan eventhoùgh we're not born in her era that she suffered pain and heartache by....damn!can't say the word...We love Karen...We don't listen to the words of your family...We listen only you...we feel all your heartbreaks and pain...and that pain is still linger in our minds...
I guess You Tube (or someone) is blocking me from actually responding again to this mess. Oh well. To be expected I guess. I disagree wholeheartedly with what Babygirl Ramos stated above. But I guess I am not allowed to post why without it being deleted.
Este tipo fue malo con su hermana y su madre también
He's weird
He looks thin and unwell here?
Looks like a healthy BMI to me. People are just overweight & obese nowadays so we're not used to seeing normal weight people, lol.
Americans are so used to looking at fat people that they don't even know what a healthy person looks like anymore. I think Richard looks great here, maybe the best he's ever looked.
Karen only need Love, her brother and her mom didn't love her
The mother prefered Richard. He loved her.
Who are we to judge the personal lives of others?
the next Liberace he was labeled when Karen passed so he got married so Lee would leave him alone after a wild weekend in 1985
Richard got married in 1984.
