    I've watched a lot of reactions to the Carpenters because it interests me to see what young people brought up on different styles of music think of the music of my generation. I really didn't expect the love I'm seeing for them; I thought people would think they were schmaltzy. What I'm hearing most is how great Karen's voice was. It makes me feel very good to hear this.

    The Carpenters, Richard and Karen, were a brother sister act. Richard wrote the songs and produced, Karen sang her heart out. They had many hits and beautiful songs.We lost Karen in 1983 to anorrexia nervosa. Back in the 80's many young girls would get this illness. They would not eat until they starved themselves to death. Don't hear about this condition anymore. It was a sad day for music lovers the day Karen died. R.I.P. Karen.

    Brother and sister. They have many other songs I think you would absolutely love. She sadly died back in 1983 from complications of anorexia. I was 19 when she passed. I was a fan and it floored me. Other great songs are: "Superstar". I highly recommend. Also: "Rainy Days and Mondays" and many others. Her voice is second to none even now. Many tried to imitate but none can match her soul piercing voice. Hope you enjoy Karen and Richard as much as I have over the decades.

    the carpenters, brother and sister richard and karen, were THEE top u.s. hit makers of the 1970's... countless classics, including their christmas music..... karen was a world class drummer and her brother was a world class pianist as well... she sang lead, he sang back up and they both (AND ONLY THOSE TWO!) did all of the background vocals and harmonies... richard also was the arranger of their songs.. karen then and now is considered to have one of if not THEE greatest female pop voice of love and romance songs ever.. with this song, "we've only just begun" that hit #2 on the charts, karen carpenter is ONLY 20 YEARS OLD!...Surely the most beautiful, rich, intimate, perfect tone and pitch, warm voice female voice ever..the song then and now is one of the most played wedding songs of all time..

    The guy standing next to her is Richard, her brother.
    You should see the Ed Sullivan version of the song. She played drums on it, and was 19 when they appeared.
    Btw, she considered herself a drummer who sang. Buddy Rich, a legendary drummer, called her his favorite and she won best drummer in 1975.
    Then, her voice. She's considered to be one of the best singers of all time. John Lennon once saw her in a cafe and told her that her voice was his favorite.
    Can't forget Richard. Very talented on the keys and a world renowned artist in his own right.
    Too bad her illness took her away. She'd be a mentor to so many more now, and would likely have countless platinum and gold records.
    The world who knew her misses her.

    Should read Karen's story. Ultimately a sad one. An amazing talent. A voice gifted by the angels..Another beautiful voice that left us way too soon was Eva Cassidy at the age of 33 of cancer. She never reached the level of fame Karen did, and was only really discovered after she passed. An extremely down to earth person, record companies wanted to sign her but they wanted her to sing what they wanted her to sing, but she refused to sell out, and wasn't after the limelight...Pull up anything by her, and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Check out their hit song from 1970 that pretty much started it all for the Carpenters. Check out the song CLOSE TO YOU, find a video on UA-cam that lasts at least up to 3:41, enjoy

I’ll add one. This is a live performance from 1970, like We’ve Only… it outside, live and Karen is killing it, just doing what she does.
