It tears me up every time I hear Karen sing, "So much of life ahead." She was gone way too soon. Your expression after hearing just a few words of Karen's hauntingly beautiful voice was priceless. It's what those of us who grew up with her feel every time we hear her sing. Great reaction, young lady. RIP Karen 💚
Omg.....your first Carpenters experience!!! This is a Rabbit Hole you will LOVE!!! Some of my favorite songs of theirs are Rainy Days and Mondays, Masquerade, and Solitaire!! But to be honest, every single one of their songs are amazing!!!
"One take Karen" Karen had a range of 4 octaves and perfect pitch normally sang as a contralto. She had the rare ability to transition seamlessly from typical female registers to a much lower range-something she called her “basement.” Thanks to brother Richard’s songwriting, arranging and song selection, her basement voice was used masterfully on music You'd enjoy "Rainy Days and Mondays" Karen you'll see plays the drums with great subtly. Richard knew her gift and made her centre stage when she was more comfortable behind her drum kit but she was too small to be seen properly. ua-cam.com/video/PjFoQxjgbrs/v-deo.html
lol absolutely LOVED this reaction, thank you! lol i love the carpenters, richards backing vocals are always impeccable, and Karen for me, one of the best female voices this beautiful earth has ever heard. Cheers! enjoyed this! glad it popped up.
The "Close To You" album by the Carpenters was the first music recording I ever purchased back in 1970, and "We've Only Just Begun" was the very first track on the album and why I bought it. The Carpenters discology is extensive, but the musts are "We've Only Just Begun," "Rainy Days and Monday," "Close To You," and probably the shortest sweetest song ever recorded (other than "I Wonder" by the 2nd Chapter of Acts) is "For All We Know" which really showcases the late great Ms. Karen Carpenter's voice.
this was the number one wedding song in the 70s beautiful song. beautiful reaction karen began playing the drums in her senior year in HS & overnight became one of the best drummers sadly she died from not eating
She died from anorexia. Her death brought anorexia into the public eye. At the time, not much was known about the eating disorder. This soon changed over the years due to Karen's death. We lost the greatest singer of all time when she passed.
My late brother dubbed her with the "voice of an angel" from the day he heard her. For my bro that's speaking volumes as he was your typical classic rock and multi-genre rock and roll fan. I'm so elated that he's in Heaven with her now.
@Dalisa Lashelle Okay so, check this out beautiful, if you love that amazing Karen Carpenter voice then you must check out these other great songs by the Carpenters, " Close to you " " Hurting each other " " Ordinary fool " " Bless the beast and the children " just to name a few. They won't disappoint.
Girl when I here this song I think of this movie called 1428 it was a horror movie 1428 was a hotelroom where mfs was dying in and the man wanted to do a documentary about that room them ghost was in there messing with him bad too girl it was a hot mess
Some advice? Do a Wikipedia bit of research of the bands you're going to react to? So then you aren't just reacting to only the vocals. One song does not define a group or artist. Karen Carpenter died at 32 from a heart attack! She suffered from Bulimia and that was an unknown or undiagnosed disease at the time. Maybe watch a few other re-acters and see what they do? Yes, you are a cute young woman, but you have potential to be a knowledgeable, cute young woman. Let me tell ya there is nothing more attractive than a smart woman. "Wings of Pegasus" is a good UA-cam source for technical knowledge about songs. Just tryin' to help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This song was played at millions of weddings during the 1970's. Millions.
True. And every couple's song was "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce.
"Rainy Days And Mondays" by them. Live version with Karen Carpenter on drums. You'll like it.
She plays the drums while singing, and never misses a beat

Thank you.
Yes I wasn't expecting her voice to sound so pure. So beautiful
She left us way too soon. Sad way she died too
This takes me back to my youth. Karen's voice was one of a kind. Never gets old.

Karen's voice is incomparable. So many hits by them!
Every wedding in the 70s played this song you could not turn the radio in the 70s and not hear the carpenter's they were huge
Karen is in the top 3 to 5 greatest female voices ever! Absolutely incredible!
Who's 1 and 2?? I mean really 😮
Nah, Karen will ALWAYS be #1.
This song was a jingle for a commercial and Richard Carpenter turned it into a hit song
@anthonygeurtsen7143 no, it was a bank commercial. Written by Paul Williams.

Karen Carpenter was world class. Rainey Days and Mondays is another excellent song.
The most beautiful ever?

Karen played the drums in this song as well as singing it. She was incredible!
She could have but they were actually played by a well known studio drummer named Hal Blaine.
Legend.

Your reaction looks very sincere. Harmonies and talent! Where are the harmonies today? No one wants to share the spotlight. RIP Karen.
We'll never hear harmonies like this in this generation. Everyone wants the spotlight for just them.
