Not only her voice, but her diction when she sang as well. She articulated the lyrics so clearly…each word understood. So many other singers mumble the lyrics or shout them out you can’t understand what they’re singing.
Her surname is spelled CARPENTER! At least have the common decency and respect to learn how to spell it! And no duh, her parents are both deceased and in the crypt, her brother will also go in when his time comes! Many families have crypts/masoleums! Educate yourself!
Today February 4, 2023 Brings me here. 40th Anniversary of Karen's passing. It really does not seem that long ago. She left us with so much to remember.Thank You Karen. Karen's voice will always be the best voice I've ever heard.She had a magnetic personality and I'm grateful to have witnessed not just an incredible talent but an incredible person as well! Love You and Miss You so Karen! Thanks for posting this beautiful clip.
She used to be at Forest Lawn Cypress Ca. It was an inside crypt. It read, KarenCarpenter, star on earth,star in heaven. I guess she has a new resting place
Richard moved Karen and his parents there quite some time ago. From what I've read, it's closer to his home in Thousand Oaks. Forest Lawn in Cypress did not communicate where Karen was moved to, after the fact!
Save her? Just what would YOU have said or done that you think all the dozens of other friends, relatives, doctors and "experts" didnt already say to her? Please crawl back into your hole now, clueless wonder!
Time travel introduces a lot of paradoxes. There was no one event, as in Quantum Leap, that a time traveler could "fix" to alter the outcome. From any given point in time, you can only change the future by changing the present.
Karen sang naturally and never appeared to be under stress while singing. She hit every note perfectly and with Richard at her side made the Carpenters a success!
You do know that 90% of her television appearances/performances were lipsynced and were not live at all! Even their TV specials used studio recordings! But she did have an amazing voice!
@@user-nl9ne5gk6k There is at least one that is on YT that you can watch her sing "Close To You". The background music is recorded but her singing was live. There is a great comparison of that specific live event comparing her pitch to the original studio recording of her voice, both isolated. You see her hitting note after note to perfection, better than the in studio comparison.
Even now, her voice touches my senses wonderfully well.. I drove by the cemetery once, a few years ago , so I appreciate you showing what her resting place looks like..
Karen was an extremely gifted talent, who was broken and then destroyed by anorexia. I had a friend who suffered from that illness but she had the right support. Karen didn't. What a terrible shame. RIP
Richard and his family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA. Pierce Brothers at Valley Oaks was closer to his new residence than Forest Lawn in Cypress,so he bought the mausoleum,had it renovated, and moved his parents and Karen there.
I will praying all us in family and friends she be in your heart she won't forget u s at all care about lot people in my heart all time yes I do I soft heart all time yes she loves us rem😇😇😇😇😇ember that 💙💙💙💙
Usually, a cemetary caretaker also has a key, aside from family members, or a family lawyer. You can usually make an appointment tobgain access, but only if you are family, or some rich celebrity who has some pull. But there is absolutely no need for people to enter non-families crypts! It's just downright disrespectful.
I used my savings to buy 2 front row seats at the Sheraton Ballroom in Waikiki only to hear of the cancelation 😢. I tore up the tickets 😢😢😢 So wish to see her...
@@davewills6121I'm seeing a Quantum Leap thing here...Sam can save her life, but may possibly lose his own in the process. The hard truth is that the event that killed her wasn't a car wreck, it was the result of 11 years of work.
The rich and affluent can certainly afford the best of everything, even when it comes to remains. I bet that burial shrine cost over a million dollars.
It's incomprehensible to me that she couldn't be helped with her struggles back then. Perhaps she would have been able to get proper treatment today, what with awareness of mental illness so above board these days. So, so heartbreaking.
Look into Celine Dion and her flirting with anorexia. Rock stars have remoras who tell them what they want to hear and insulate them from the adoring mobs. I tried, via email, to educate Dion on the dangers of anorexia and received a polite brush-off from the remora tasked with answering fan mail. Lots of people wrote Karen, concerned about her health, but whether she saw anything or not is an answer we can pretty much guess at: she didn't.
I grew up listening to them and waving at Richard and Karen driving around in their Carpenter's Van...I think they knew someone from my neighborhood... Richard was always driving and I remember Karen's big white teeth smile and waving back at me...we were in disbelief when she died...I believe an angel wax present when Karen was born and gave her her voice.... Is this In New Jersey or California?
I wish 😢 there was lighting on inside the building so people can see better? This brief overview wasn't what I'd call "directions" to her burial site. It wouldn't us navigate to the site from the entrance in a very large cemetery.
A lot of these graves are marked on GPS but it just gets you to a general area. I've been to roughly 260 celebrity graves worldwide and I promise you, videos like this with short points of reference, are a huge help. I can't help that there isn't light inside a locked mausoleum. That isn't for me to do. I also use find a grave dot com and books like Where Are They Buried?: How Did They Die?, by Tod Benoit. How many celebrity graves have you been to? Again, I've been to right around 260, you can see a lot of those on my Meet Us! video.
They NEVER install electricity inside of masoleums/crypts, because there is no reason to! They are only for family members to visit in the daytime! Most cemetaries are closed at night, many lock their gates as well. Educate yourself, sad ignorus numbnuts! smfh!
Constructive criticism..... Why not get yourself a tripod and also do a movie photography course? A camera bouncing around and going in and out of focus just ruins any video.....
I appreciate the feedback but it's because I'm just trying to create short, concise videos from 1-3 minutes long...that show points of reference etc....My husband has a degree in Television from Columbia and trust me, we have the equipment. I live in Atlanta and I can't imagine lugging all of that stuff all over the USA, on a plane. We will be out there again for another 10 days, beginning next week.
Karen would be alive today if she hadn't stressed over the opinions of nobody's who were probably anorexic themselves. the first time Karne picked up a laxative the first time she put her fingers down her throat she was on her way to the grave, i liked her music, society needs to review that movie about her life and maybe teens today wouldn't be killing themselves,
The coroner said she used Ipecac Syrup, a well-known, over-the-counter, vomit-inducing agent, usually only used when someone has swallowed a poison that won't hurt her esophagus or throat when coming back up, but needs to get out of her system fast.
I am a former psychiatric nurse. Anorexia Nervosa is much more complicated than that. When Karen was sick, not much was known about the disease, it's complexity, or how to treat it. A lot goes into feeling loved and accepted for who you are as a person by those who love you. She never had that from her mother. It's also about having control in one's life. People may tell you what to sing, what to wear, when to work, what to do, etc. but they can't tell you when , what and how much to eat. That's about the only thing anorexics feel they have some control of. And a lot of other things are involved as well. Anorexia Nervosa is not a simple mental disorder. It's complicated and very complex. It's a shame the understanding of the disease and its complexity wasn't known then. If it had been, Karen might still be alive.
The story I heard was that she became self-conscious about her body image was after a concert in Philadelphia where a critic called her "Richard's chubby little sister".
@@vickiebohy7609From everything I've read, the Carpenter family wasn't much different than my family. Parents who survived the Great Depression and WW2. Parents who respected money and the value of a dollar. Parents who pushed their kids to work as much overtime as possible. Mothers who actively interfered with their children's love lives. Parents who favored one child over the other. I could go on, but I've been there, done that, survived it by sticking to my guns. As I told my father... I may be the captain of a ship of fools, but by God no one's going to run it onto the rocks but me! I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs and I resent the hell out of you telling me how to live my life! I have a good job making good money and I don't need anything from you! That was 1984. We didn't speak for ten years after that but we patched things up before he died. Playing 300 dates a year and not being allowed to be the person you're supposed to be takes a toll on you, and Karen paid for it with her life. We didn't sp
@@vickiebohy7609UA-cam is deleting my replies. Amazing. My mom interfered with my sister and she eloped to get away from it. After 30 years and two kids she decided that she didn't really love her husband and divorced him.
Dear Karen, your mother, your brother and Tom Burris killed you. They killed an angel. I hope they burn in the hell for ever !!! - /// Please, rest in peace my sweet Karen, . . . my love !
It's nice to know she has such a beautiful, peaceful resting place. No one will ever compare to her.
Karen Carpenter is the best female vocalist of all time!
And that's a fact!👍✌️
Not only her voice, but her diction when she sang as well. She articulated the lyrics so clearly…each word understood. So many other singers mumble the lyrics or shout them out you can’t understand what they’re singing.
Karen makes a grown man cry!

You're very welcome! Note: I haven't found confirmation but I think the 2 trees behind her family's crypt are meant to be drum sticks.

@@GraveDirectionswithSugerkat I've heard that too. That the 2 trees are drum sticks.
I really miss Karen Carpenter. I wish I could go back in time and save her. 😢

Save her? Just what would YOU have said or done that you think all the dozens of other friends, relatives, doctors and "experts" didnt already say to her? Please crawl back into your hole now, clueless wonder!
No, she's where she belongs, she had enough chances in life. I respect her choices in both life and death, so should you and move on

I CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT STUPENDOUS VOICE OF KAREN!!!
There is a video with her voice of the Roman Holiday
I still listen to her music miss her lots😢
Best female voice of all time RIP beautiful soul missed every day 😢😢💔💔
I JUST LOVE ❤KAREN CARPENTER ❤I LOVE HOW SHE SINGS HER MUSIC 🎶 AND SHE WAS LOVE ❤❤BY ALL OF HER FANS
Even now, her voice touches my senses wonderfully well.. I drove by the cemetery once, a few years ago , so I appreciate you showing what her resting place looks like..
Truly one of the best vocalist who ever live. Pure and natural. Rest in peace Karen.
Don't be sad because it's over. Be happy because it happened. RIP Karen Carpenter.
She was about to continue recording when she passed. Being so young, I can't help but thing of all the more beautiful music we would have had.
She 😢
I don't think so. After she completed recording "Now", she put the mike down, walked out of the studio, and never looked back.
one of the best Female voices ever. May she always R.I.P.
I wish she knew just how beautiful she was.
Saw the Carpenters perform, early ‘70’s, Valley Forge Music Fair, PA. Cubby O’Brien was their drummer and the opening act was Paul Williams.
My favourite voice, RIP Karen❤❤❤❤
Very pretty girl with a beautiful voice we've only just begun gotta be a great wedding song
Droga Karen. Spoczywaj w pokoju a Światłość Wiekuista niechaj Ci świeci na Wieki Wieków. Amen.✝💗🥀
I love this song very nice karen
Karen was an extremely gifted talent, who was broken and then destroyed by anorexia. I had a friend who suffered from that illness but she had the right support.
Karen didn't. What a terrible shame. RIP
She was originally buried at Forest Lawn, Cypress, Ca. I have no idea what the reasoning was for moving her…
Richard and his family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA. Pierce Brothers at Valley Oaks was closer to his new residence than Forest Lawn in Cypress,so he bought the mausoleum,had it renovated, and moved his parents and Karen there.
We all love Karen!
Kedves Karen nyugodj békében soha nem feledjük el nagyon hiányzol ❤.
I will praying all us in family and friends she be in your heart she won't forget u s at all care about lot people in my heart all time yes I do I soft heart all time yes she loves us rem😇😇😇😇😇ember that 💙💙💙💙

Normally these mausoleums hold 6-8 people so they are locked all the time. I was grateful to pay respects...I didn't need to go in. :)

Yeah, but the danger was on a personal level, don't recall she placing anyone else's lives in danger, possibly you need therapy?

In the ‘80s I went to her resting place in Forest Lawn, Cypress,CA. So it appears she has been moved,
The voices 🎉
At that time the eating disorder would not really recognized
Love you always Karen ❤️ your so beautiful baby.

I'm not sure but there are 6 or 8 people buried in there, or will be buried in there. She's not alone.
She made me feel like she wrote the songs

Been there myself!

I want to visit Karens grave but I know I will freak out!
Karen was born on 14 06 1950 same age as me R I P my love xxx
Karen Carpenter was born in March 1950.
March 2, 1950. New Haven, CT.
I wonder how many plots Richard had to purchase to build this site?
Her parents beried there too
Yes
@@GraveDirectionswithSugerkatI read somewhere that the mausoleum "sleeps" five, so who the extra spot is for is a mystery.
What town is she buried in?
Thousand Oaks, CA in Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Cemetery. She and her parents are entombed in a family mausoleum there.
Constructive criticism.....
Why not get yourself a tripod and also do a movie photography course?

Why can't people go in?
Most mausoleums are locked. It's common. They usually hold 6-8 people so it's an entire family.
Karen's mom and dad are in there too.
People often try to break a piece of the crypt or take a momento,so most are locked for protection of the crypt.
