    When you think about it, somebody has to have the best voice ever, who agrees with me that this girl is the one?

    This video not only showcases Karen's brilliance, but Richard's too, because he was the one who arranged this medley. We all know that no one sang as beautifully as Karen, but executing those complex harmonies, behind her, is impressive in itself. Anyone who sings knows that finding the correct harmony notes is much more difficult than finding the lead notes. So major props to Richard, the background singers, and the band.

      Finding the right (sounding) harmony notes... harder than finding the right melody. You got that right Neal. Well said.

    Karen's voice hits a magical tone that touches our heart, brain and the soul. So gifted. In todays world she needs more publicity and a new honoring of her life's work and talent. Even in death, she can bring attention to the medical condition of anorexia. Will not forget her.

  • @markschwan3542
    @markschwan3542 10 років тому +9

    Talk about intonation... At 8:34 she starts the pitch with no auto-tone.
    Also someone mentioned their modesty. Our elementary school class got to sing "Sing" with them in Pittsburgh. (What a thrill) But backstage afterwards when she was asked by a student in our group what 'stardom' felt like, Karen replied, 'We'll let you know if that ever happens'. That was in 1974.... already on their way but so humble. I was only 11 years old but remember being astounded by Karen's beauty and her voice.....

      sono adulta e risiedo a Genova.i Carpenters la voce di Karen e la loro musica è entrata dentro me da quando ero piccola anni67ma non avevo genitori appassionati di musica ,ma questa è vera Arte: Voce unica irripetibile quella di Karen! Solo in età adulta ho scoperto che si trattava del gruppo musicale Carpenters.nel67 il mio ricordo legato ai Carpenters è quello legato all'ospedale Gaslini di Genova per malattia nefrite ed è legato a Nicla una bambina con cui giocavo, purtroppo deceduta di leucemia. ho conosciuto troppo tardi il nome di questo gruppo musicale che per me ha un forte significato emotivo e non sapevo della morte di Karen.Un caro saluto dall' Italia☀️
