    When I was in the service, Christmas was always the loneliest time of year, since we were away from our family and loved ones. Karan's voice always comforted me during those times. RIP Karen, who now sings with the Angels in Heaven.

    The Carpenters do a fantastic version of “(There’s no Place Like) Home for the Holidays”. It is my favorite of all of their Christmas songs.

      Actually, the lyrics were written by their choral director in college, Mr. Frank Pooler. He had written the song to his girlfriend 20 years before who had moved to another state. Years later, and while he was Choral Director at CSULB, he gave the lyrics to his young choral student, Richard Carpenter, to see what he could do with them. And, waalaa, "Merry Christmas, Darling" was born.

    The two Carpenters Christmas albums (Christmas Portrait and Old Fashioned Christmas) were staples in my house. Nothing makes me feel like Christmas as much as those albums. We listened to them every year while decorating our tree. Every single song on both albums is magic.

    She was 21 in this video. She sings a a phenomenal, beautiful Ave Maria, with just the piano, that shows her range like no other song. (Richard recorded her for the harmony parts in nearly all her songs as well).

  • @matrox
    @matrox 2 роки тому +1

    There is an interview of her basically saying she never new she could sing or do anything until Richard brought it out of her. Amazing that she never knew from the start she had talent.

    • @tomschmitz261
      @tomschmitz261 2 роки тому +1

      the background singers were ONLY karen and her brother richard, singing, including the ending as they dubbed their voices in different ranges/octaves to sound like more than two and a small chorus... all their songs featured only the two doing the background vocals..

    She was like a shooting star. She was here for a short while but left her music and that purity in her voice we can enjoy anytime we want. I remember hearing the Carpenters Christmas songs played on the radio in the late 70's constantly and never ever got tired of hearing them. You are a VERY good reactor. Merry Christmas to you!!!!

    I have loved the Carpenter since I was a young girl listening to them in the '70s. Karen has such a beautiful voice I always wanted to be a singer and sound just like her. She has some of the if not best Christmas songs that there's out there they're just beautiful. Enjoy them

    Nice reaction, Pat. Karen is very captivating. I honestly think she had one of the best voices...ever. There are plenty of excellent singers out there but her voice is so simple yet so intricate. I'm also digging the festive Adidas jacket.

    • @stevetournay6103
      @stevetournay6103 5 місяців тому +1

      It's sad that Karen never recorded any duets. Closest she came was a track on her solo album (Love In The Afternoon) on which Peter Cetera prominently sang backing vocals. (There were, though, the TV medleys that featured Perry Como and Ella Fitzgerald. Those were duets, sort of, I suppose.)
      Of course, Nat Cole and Frank Sinatra, to name two, appeared posthumously in wonderful duets (Nat with daughter Natalie, more than once, and Frank with Céline Dion). Say now. How about it, whoever is the successor to A&M...? Say, One Love or Someday with KC and Josh Groban, or The Wedding Song with KC and Barbra Streisand, or Little Girl Blue with KC and Gregory Porter...

    Hi Patrick, a beautiful heartfelt reaction. I’m watching this in June ‘23 so not seasonal but beautiful nevertheless. From what I could search I didn’t find the performance I’m going to recommend. It’s 1970, so Karen is 20 and Close To You is the current hit. They performed this for the Ed Sullivan Show and it’s live and Karen is doing what she does best. The boys are just trying to keep up. It’s magical. I hope you enjoy this. It’s the Bacharach/David Medley performed at Walter Reed Hospital in front of Viet Nam War patients.
