Great reaction. This song was released in 1970. They are a brother and sister duo and Karen Carpenter died in 1983 aged 33 from Anorexia Nervosa an eating disorder. Could you please react to "A SONG FOR YOU" and "NOW" which is one of the very last song Karen recorded before she passed away. Hope you will do them , they are beautiful ballads
If you are just now meeting the Carpenters, you have much, much more to discover and enjoy! This sweet, angelic lady died far too young...but she will never be forgotten.
I’ve been listening to this song since it first came out 51 years ago. When Karen starts to sing the line “Before the rising sun...” it brings tears to my eyes... EVERY. FREAKIN’. TIME!!!!!!!! For 51 years. It never fails. Actually, I’m getting choked up just writing this! That’s the power of Karen Carpenter...
Karen Carpenter actually preferred to play drums and considered herself a drummer who happened to sing. There are lots of good songs by them worth reacting to. My personal favorites are "A Song For You", "Superstar", and "Rainy Days and Mondays".
Besides the ones Rick P mentioned, Leaving on a Jet Plane is also very good too. With Rainy Days and Mondays, you get to see Karen play the Drums and sing.
Awwww such a beautiful song! Lots of people used it at weddings in the 70’s and 80’s. Including me. The first time around 🙄. Second time a charm 32 years later.
Yah, .. mom and dad had the " Carpenters , Barbara Streisand, Bee Gees, Michael McDonald. " playing all the time. But the Carpenters were special. I grew up in 80's , 90's but the 70's music was always playing still in the 80's. I had an incredible childhood and they part of it. Great reaction! Greetings from TEXAS YALL ! LOL . Best of luck with your channel.
Yup ! They were before my time but as a kid in the 80’s Mom and dad had them playing all the time at home along with : BeeGees, kool and the Gang, Michael McDonald .. too much Talent back then we were spoiled . Lol great reaction ! Best of luck .. cheers from Texas !
I grew up listening to them. I have yet to find any female singer that can compare to Karen. Top of the World and Close To You are two of my favorites.
The interesting thing about this song is it was in a commercial first...but once Karen sang a song, she had a way of making her version stand alone...except maybe 1 song...Superstar. Her version is great, but so too is Luther Vandross' version.
Nice reaction. Sincere Well its three weeks later where are some more Carpenter's songs? A Song for You Rainy Days and Mondays Solitaire Okay now do your thing and give us some more great reactions to Karen.
Greeting to you, jolie Demoiselle ;) My today's suggestion is a brand new song called "We Died In 2012", from the French Canadian project named So-Fi: ua-cam.com/video/rFwZcGmzNY0/v-deo.html

IMO, Karen had no equal as a singer. In fifty years I have yet to hear anyone who could sing like that. Enjoy the rest of her song library.
Wow thanks for reacting to my favourite
a song to live too,and a song to die to,,Karen died thinking she weas fat,that brings tears
If Cinnamon and Honey could sing together in perfect harmony they would not/could not sound like Karen Carpenter.
Looks like you haven’t seen it all. 😎
Richard and Karen Carpenter...brother and sister
