Boy, what I would give to see Richard Carpenter and Tori Holub to work together to honor his Sister Karen, and continue Karen's legacy for future generations.
me too Richard if just to finish some of the songs Karen didn't finish we don't wont to ever rep[lace Karen but her voice was gifted to Tori let us have a bit of her back
@@helenwoodcock5140younger Tori did an homage to Something In Your Eyes. The problem is it’s too short. I’ll tell you what was in my eyes hearing Tori sing it. 😭 It’s on her channel here.
i did i loved karen i first heard her in the womb mum played it to me 50 years ago , she just gets better no matter the stories her voice is never-ending or changing Tori has given us a little bit of Karen back thankyou x @@jbs256
Tori reminds me of why Karen will never die, in our hearts she lives on, thank YOU Ms. Holub. Her sense of JOY and wonder are delightful. Long live Tori Holub, Happy Holidays!
Oh my goodness, if anyone has seen the Carpenters perform this medley on BBC 1971, What we have witnessed here is as close as it can get. Eerily close!! It feels like Karen's voice is right there reincarnated. Thank you so much Tori for this blessing of memories.
Yup, Eduard thought the same thing. He did say there were a couple of micro edits. Tori’s backing track was an RC created Karaoke track for the Japanese market. It may have been ever so slightly different. ua-cam.com/video/F-BnXGA2ETo/v-deo.htmlsi=CBgOi1zSWfoOYj-I .
Absolutely incredible! Having grown up with the music of the Carpenters, then hearing Tori. Where do you want to take this Tori, because if you get in front of the right people/person and creativity, I will be thrilled to follow the journey. Best wishes!
Each year, on Feb. 4, I play nothing BUT Carpenter's music, in honor of Karen. She was a HUGE influence on my singing, and harmonizing. Tori is bringing that all back. Wow.
I've been watching and listening to this video over and over and over and I can't get over it ... Record companies should be falling over themselves to sign her. She's absolutely amazing
OMG. From the second Tori started singing - I was covered with goose pimples!! The hair stood up on my arms! Absolutely PERFECT! She NAILS Karens inflections, range, evocativeness! As close as I've ever heard someone capture Karen Carpenter - an UNTOUCHABLE!!
She doesn't quite have the richness and timbre of Karen's voice, yet, and she misses some of the little in-betweens but she's very close and very pleasant to listen to. Very nice. Not Karen, but a very nice tribute to her legacy. 🙂
This is absolutely brilliant!!!! Not only does Tori have a super-gorgeous voice but she has proven herself to be of high intelligence...to be able to learn, so quickly, and execute, flawlessly, this awesome medley!!! *AMAZING YOUNG STAR w/ REAL TALENT!!!* 💗💗💗
This is absolutely magic. Simply smiling ear to ear. As I am 64 yrs old, I like so many others commenting, grew up with these songs. Jim, Thank you so much for your amazing efforts bringing this music back to life. Cant imagine laying down each track of the harmonies, singing take after take with subtle variants that combine in perfect tune. Tori... Wow, just wow. No words.... Just admiration and respect for your amazing voice and poise! Just found you guys this evening. Cant wait to spend more time with you both. It's as though I found a treasured scrapbook in the attic, but somehow it has magically come to life. ❤x ♾️
@jpmartdog So beautifully said! Just remembering the old days with old friends and loving The Carpenters and Dionne Warwick, etc. All of my friends are gone now 😢 but I'm thrilled to have lived in that Era as a young person. 😊😅 Street dances in San Jose too, yay
I'm also 64 and loved The Carpenters and their music..... wish I had got to meet Karen. Tori is very close to a perfect copyof Karen's voice.... but not quite. Trouble is, she's so good, I don't know who I prefer !
I listen to alot iof music, its my safe place , im terminally sick from a punch , its given me extreme depression and anxiety severe night terrors and extreme ptsd with suicidal tendencies, when i clise ny eyes especially when Tori sang weve only just begun , i was litterly in 17th October 1970 watching the ed sullivan show and karen was playing drums in her iconic yellow dress singing this. Time travels really does exist
Don’t know about a tour, but I would love it if they would record Karen’s full catalog with todays quality recording equipment I would buy that in a heartbeat
Goosebumps! I said it before, Tori is spectacular and she's bringing me 50 years back in time! I can't hear enough of these accurate pitch perfect covers! Thank you so much, Tori and Jim!
Tori Holub sings Burt Bacharach! Awesome combination! … (yet more pathos in songs like “Walk on By” … these are haunting songs … Tori can & should break our hearts in these sadder songs of Burt’s)
Amazing!! This is a hard song to sing and she nailed it!!! I am a huge Burt Bacharach and Carpenters fan. Yes she needs an album to honor the Carpenters working with Richard and recording her own originals. She has a pure, beautiful voice, so refreshing. Sing, sing a song….the sky is the limit for you!!!
This is eerie. Saw the carpenters live in Vegas 71 I think when I was 13. She was still behind the drums at the time. This young lady is very close to Karen but I can still hear differences. That being said excellent performance!
Thank you Tori for your voice of Karen is amazing, I grew up with ms Karen & Richard, did not live too far from them in Downey. We lost and Karen too soon RIP.
You both are amazing. I love both of you.singing and your arrangement and the music. I hope Herb Alpert (the A from the A&M record label as well as Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass) sees this. He signed both the Carpenters and Burt Bacharach as well as another personal favorite Sergio Mendes and Brasill 66 back in the day. Thanks so much for sharing and I wish both of you as well as your musician friends much success and happiness.
You haven't just covered Karen as a singer, but The Carpenters as a vocal group. You've mastered the secret to overdubbed choral vocals. Blending with an incomplete "ensemble" that can't respond to each other in real time is damn hard, folks. No amount of Vocalign, Autotune, and digital sorcery can generate the secret sauce. Nice. After searching around a little, I see Fil/Wings of Pegasus picked up on this too.
WOW! I was a fan of the Carpenters, and never thought I would hear anyone with a voice like Karen again. I am so glad I was wrong! Beautiful voice Tori.
If I don't look at the screen all I hear is Karen. I have no words to describe how many memories this brings back. Amazing! Thanks to you tube for sending me to you guys! That finally got 1 thing right,
I’ve seen a few reaction videos to Tori’s spellbinding cover with the genius production of Jim. Every single reaction video is met with wonder and you can see their smiles grow. This aurally amazing cover has taken listeners back to a beautiful bygone era, brought back beautiful memories. Tori we need you to rise, to succeed and to inspire a disenchanted Gen Z that there’s beauty in this world. Gen Alpha needs to hear these songs play in the background and as they grow up they revisit these songs and hear the beauty in these lyrics.
Jim, bug thanks for you getting Tori in the studio and producing these exquisite performances. Just looking at the smile in your face, I know you were delighted doing these videos and know not just how special her voice is but her dedication to put everything into her craft. The world has missed this type of work.
I came here after watching Fil of Wings of Pegasus doing one of his very in depth analyses of your cover of We’ve Only Just Begun. He was so impressed and really knows his stuff so I came here to watch some more of your videos. I’m loving what I’ve seen so far and am a new subscriber.
You two could record an album of songs that The Carpenters never did but should have, and the world would be a better place for it and you'd be rich to boot.
Live out a long life for Karen…. sing and live a happier healthier long life with Karen’s reincarnated voice. I am 100% certain you have worked hard at perfecting this wonderful gift. I hope Richard Carpenter takes comfort in listening to you singing
*How the freak can Tori just land on those crazy jazz notes like diminished, augmented, fifths and whatever they are?? The performance sounds "weightless" and looks so easy for her!! It would be great fun to have a voice like that - even just for a week - to play with it like the world's best toy:)*
Tori you are the most phenomenal singer I've ever heard. I would love to see you go on the Voice and audition with "Only Yesterday". Quickest 4 chair turn in history.
You are gorgeous and sing like an angel thanks for your tribute to our sweet Karen you also do great with Bread's songs. Jim is great as a supporting voice.
Thanks Tori and Jim. You bring back a lot of memories. Tori, you have a bright future ahead of you, and I look forward to seeing and hearing it. Thanks Jim, and others, for helping her along.
It's my birthday (68) and this voice is the gift of the day. I had closed the door on Carpenters, always coming back now and then (ha!)but never to be blessed with a new set of songs. There are so many songs KC would have claimed as her own, I hesitate to think what she would have done with Benny and Bjørn's catalogue. There was one song that blew my mind sung by Josefin Nilsson "High hopes and heartaches", the girls in ABBA should have covered it IMO because the song truly deserved a bigger audience. It might be out of your comfort zone Tori and you might not enjoy it but at least give a minute or two of your time...please. It's a bit of a pounder to be honest but the chorus is to die for. Your brain will be infected with the chorus after one play. I've worked as a DJ most of my life so I rarely listen to music, I just hear music as it goes in one ear and out the other, but like the many making comment here your voice made me listen...thank you. Below is the link to a much overlooked song. Thanx to Wings of Pegasus BTW. ua-cam.com/video/-QNkC_NVqX8/v-deo.html
Thank you Jim for your efforts here. I first learned of Tori many months ago with her first TT shorts. I have it on repeat as I'm working on my computer. I'm 55 and grew up listening to The Carpenters, The Mamas and the Papas, Captain and Tennille, Croce, John Denver, Helen Reddy, Neil Sedaka, Anne Murray, and the list goes on and on. What the heck happened to music? Most of today's music causes me anxiety. I certainly can't work on my taxes with it playing..... Best,
Thank you for checking this out my friend!! When I first heard Tori's voice, I just felt the NEED to join in! She is a fantastic talent, and a beautiful person as well!
OMG...well done to both of you...loved this so much!!!! 💗💗💗
Tori is a reincarmation for sure. Brings back Karen Carpenter's voice and music. How can this be!!
Tori has been blessed with that voice.
My god, close your eyes. Its her
Same as Marc martel
@@scottwallyn3171maybe they use AI technology, it will be known if they sing live and not in the studio. but i like Tori Holub
Tori's voice is certainly a dead-on match for Karen's, but there's a young lady named Harriet who actually LOOKS like Karen as a blonde.
I love the carpenters, But I love YOUR voice Tori please do more songs even some of your own!
She's so young for her age to do that that's why she's really a miracle singing Carpenters songs! BRAVOOOOO!!!
Remember, Karen was 20 at the huge start. So is Tori, I see it as synergy. ❤💖
Boy, what I would give to see Richard Carpenter and Tori Holub to work together to honor his Sister Karen, and continue Karen's legacy for future generations.

It's now 2024, who's listening to the original beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter, besides me?
Lol, what? It was recorded in 2024 🤣
Oh my goodness, if anyone has seen the Carpenters perform this medley on BBC 1971,
What we have witnessed here is as close as it can get. Eerily close!!
It feels like Karen's voice is right there reincarnated.

I can not believe what I'm hearing!! Smiling and crying at the same time! Bravo 👏 👏
Holy Smoke! It’s like The Carpenters have been born again. Absolutely stunning!
I'm seriously choking back tears here. I absolutely LOVED Karen Carpenter. I cried when she left us. GREAT harmonies! Both have great voices. WOW!
Same!
I agree too . Very similar to Karen Carpenter voice.
Each year, on Feb. 4, I play nothing BUT Carpenter's music, in honor of Karen. She was a HUGE influence on my singing, and harmonizing. Tori is bringing that all back. Wow.
Ditto
Same here. Karen was unmatched, 100% perfection. So glad to have found this lovely voice of Tori.
I've been watching and listening to this video over and over and over and I can't get over it ... Record companies should be falling over themselves to sign her. She's absolutely amazing
Me too, I think this is an even dozen times now. ❤
Stay away from record companies, they have a bad history of what they do to artists.
@@rodneyblackwell7477 indeed - look what happened to Whitney Houston and Prince, to name but two huge stars !
Remarkable..close your eyes and Karen is still with us.
What a gorgeous voice!
Just great singers executing great music. No Auto-Tune nonsense. The sonic similarities are simply stunning.
I’m loving your alliteration!
OMG. From the second Tori started singing - I was covered with goose pimples!! The hair stood up on my arms! Absolutely PERFECT! She NAILS Karens inflections, range, evocativeness! As close as I've ever heard someone capture Karen Carpenter - an UNTOUCHABLE!!
She has a little bit of a lisp that Karen didn’t have but other than that, perfection! 🎉
She doesn't quite have the richness and timbre of Karen's voice, yet, and she misses some of the little in-betweens but she's very close and very pleasant to listen to. Very nice. Not Karen, but a very nice tribute to her legacy. 🙂
I was there. Karen was a vocal goddess. She was taken far too young from us. However, Anne Murray also has a flawless voice. Then there is kd lang.

You perfectly articulated precisely what hearing this felt like!!
Jim and Tori, I really enjoyed this medley, you both have amazing voices!! I hope you collaborate again soon!!
Cracking work Jim. Tremendous amount of skill and dedication much in evidence. Tori is very talented singer.

Such beautiful harmony's, I can't say more, except beautiful.
You guys should a tribute band for Carpenters.. lots of people will watch and look into it..tour the world.❤
A residency in Las Vegas🎉
I am 62 LOVED the Carpenters and would pay top $$$ to see you if you ever performed anywhere near St. Louis. You guys are AMAZING 😉
Would be awesome, but she sings at least three vocal parts on each tune. Tough to pull that off live.
Don’t know about a tour, but I would love it if they would record Karen’s full catalog with todays quality recording equipment I would buy that in a heartbeat
@@bradcrawford1998 100% agree!
WOW! Incredible! Awesome!!!
Goosebumps! I said it before, Tori is spectacular and she's bringing me 50 years back in time!
I can't hear enough of these accurate pitch perfect covers!
Thank you so much, Tori and Jim!
Incredible! 😊🎶🎤💖
She is amazing! I would not have believed this if I hadn't seen it. Her voice has almost the same timbre as Karen's.
Tori you're brilliant. To me, Karen was and is the best female singer of all time. It's wonderful to hear her again through you.
67 year-old new Yorker her.Lifelong Carpenter/ Bacharach fan. Ilove this work!
The male vocal adds so much to this arrangement. Most people are unaware that it is MUCH harder to sing back up than lead.
amazing hope you make a album of carpenters songs soon with your awesome voice tori.
Tori Holub sings Burt Bacharach! Awesome combination! … (yet more pathos in songs like “Walk on By” … these are haunting songs … Tori can & should break our hearts in these sadder songs of Burt’s)
Wow Tori, I always thought Karen had the most incredible voice and you bring it all back, Thank You
This girl should be going straight to the top
Timber and pitch are incredible! I have melted into a puddle. MORE TORI!! 😁🥰
wow!! how am I just now finding this! Huge Tori Holub fan, and the harmony on this is fantastic!
I. Have. No. Words. Period. I am LOST for words.
Amazing!! This is a hard song to sing and she nailed it!!! I am a huge Burt Bacharach and Carpenters fan. Yes she needs an album to honor the Carpenters working with Richard and recording her own originals. She has a pure, beautiful voice, so refreshing. Sing, sing a song….the sky is the limit for you!!!

Wow - 2 great vocalists in perfect sync. Nicely produced.
This is eerie. Saw the carpenters live in Vegas 71 I think when I was 13. She was still behind the drums at the time. This young lady is very close to Karen but I can still hear differences. That being said excellent performance!
I agree. Tori's very good but Karen had more of a warmth to her voice. I saw the Carpenters on that tour too. Great memories.
Wow, what a talent, flawless from start to finish
So nice to be reminded there once was good music out there. Thank you both. Please don't stop.
Thank you Tori for your voice of Karen is amazing, I grew up with ms Karen & Richard, did not live too far from them in Downey. We lost and Karen too soon RIP.
I can sit & listen to this girl for hours!
Me too!
I have ❤
So impressive!
what a beautiful pleasure...im sitting here with happy tears...THANK YOU
At 65 years old I cried through all of this..these are songs of my life.
I’m 68 and I know exactly how you feel. 🙏
