Richard was the brain and sound that started it all, he defined how their style should be represented to everyone. While Karen is the heart and voice that gave it life and impact. The feelings that Karen has while singing came from a real place, even though her life was a tragedy, that tragedy is the reason we have such amazing Carpenters songs. Combine amazing lyric writing, musical composition, harmonic arrangements, harmonic vocals and prodigious piano playing with a unique soulful voice that resonates with most people’s hearts and not to mention awesome drumming abilities as well. You get the Carpenters. Truly spectacular!
Thanks, Billy, for adding this segment. Having the documentary circle back to the Carpenters' story and legacy and to the tragic loss of Karen in 1983 really underscored how important they were in A&M Records' history.
We always look back on our lives and reflect about those things we shouldn't have done or things we could've done. We always reflect upon those things that may have changed the outcome. How do you reverse destiny? You can't. Its always hard for those behind. Always wondering... "What if we had not toured so much ?" Life is a precious gift ... it can be as fragile as a flower.🌹 A young girl that sang like she had experienced the world. That Beautiful voice will live on Forever and ever.... 🕊 ~❤~🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖
Richard was right. They should not have been touring that much. Just crazy. They were used up during those years, carrying a label that was about to go bust until the Carpenters were signed. Then they overworked them. Just crazy. Carpenters tour money helped fund Supertramp when that group first started out. Pitiful.
Thank you, with all my heart for sharing the precious videos. I always do appreciate you uploads since the Carpenters have been the special part of my life, it will help keep me going as long as I live.
"since the Carpenters have been the special part of my life, it will help keep me going as long as I live" =====> I couldn't have said it any better then you did. I feel the exact same way and I am 65 years old and still to this day love them as I did back when I was 14 years old! God Bless You!
@@jcolo1956 Same here! The Carpenters' music has been always with me since I was...? and it's been such a long, long... time. (LOL!) I feel so glad to know that you feel the same way!!! Thank you for your kind words.
Karen Carpenter's Legacy Of Inspired By Her Artist Like Of Madonna, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, The Corrs, Norah Jones, Debbie Gibson, Taylor Swift & Carly Rae Jepsen❤😊😢😮🥰🙏🤩😇📻🎶🎙️💾😘💿💽🤠😀🎵♥️😍👼📀🥲....
Karen had a beautiful voice and have always loved hearing her sing even as a 15 year old in 1971 I had thier 2nd album I got for Christmas of 1971 and loved it then love it now ! Have thier Christmas CD I got at a thrift store and waiting to look for more of thier CDS and records as I just got a record player from a friend ! Need to get a tape deck or keep the one I have put it in my room !
Raymond that was well said......neither one was better than the other!!! Never met Richard but he ate at a restaurant we were in once in Downey!! I met and talked w Karen at our dentist office once in Downey! I was sooo excited!! She was so pretty in person!!
I was only 10 when i fell in love with her,not just that "VOICE"she has but the all package she has...now that im 21,still i love this woman alot...she's MY LADY...A little bit boyish just for her.
Hi Marcus... It's a two part documentary on A&M Records and it covers other artists that were signed to the label, like Cat Stevens, Sting, Joan Armatrading etc... These are just the Carpenters segments cut from both.
Yes, there are many. If you search "Carpenters Documentary" you have your choice. There is even a full length movie available on You Tube based on the lives of Richard and Karen.
Comments on YT vids. If that is a musician's due from a life's work... that makes me feel the despair Karen and Richard must have felt during their hey day. Nice thought, brother, but just so much less than "her due" or Richard's due. Sheesh. Peace, my brother.
I’m almost a blubbering idiot every time I hear her sing, my eyes well up every time, it’s not that she died so young, it’s is that her voice really knows how to grab me. And Richards contribution to the musical element to this material is 2 nd to none.
always delighted to discover some insight about the Carpenters and i appreciate so muchall and any info related to them There will never be a better group. So glad Richard continues with the music. iam sure it is very hard to not have Karen even after so many years. She was such an unmatched talent and so outgoing and vibrant. That is one reason that her death is unbelievable at times. She had fought this disease largely on her own and its hard to see her when she was so thin because the vibrance left her.
Karen once told my step sister Andrea at our dentist office , that, touring is hard on me!!!!! When Andrea told me that, this weird feeling came over me......i knew something was not right! I felt bad!!!
Karen Was So Beautiful She Should Still Be Here Looking Back At Her Musical Legacy ❤️💔

@@2303stella. You are so very welcome. It is nice to know someone else shares the same feelings on their love of the Carpenters still to this day!!

Just loved Karen's singing. Rest in peace karen
I will never forget Karen….I listen to their music nearly weekly.
She was just beautiful. What guy would not be in love with her.

Karen was a wonderful world without end.
I remember when Karen died I just came home from school I cried I grew up on the carpenters music
They both were drooling in talent and each other,s gift complimented each other

Are these teasers? Is there a full version of this new documentary? I’m so curious yet so excited at the same time. I can’t control myself!❤️.

@@carpentersism Alright then, thank you for this information Billy.

Herb helped carry her casket.
I wish Horizon could have contained more tracks, yet there was no time. Her voice sounds amazing during those sessions.
Pretty and angelical Spirit the Karen Carpenters
If you read the comments on any Carpenters video you will see that Karen overwhelmingly gets "her due". And obviously, rightfully so.
Comments on YT vids. If that is a musician's due from a life's work... that makes me feel the despair Karen and Richard must have felt during their hey day. Nice thought, brother, but just so much less than "her due" or Richard's due. Sheesh. Peace, my brother.
She had such heart and soul I look at her I listen she sang so beautifully with no effort at all
嘉倫廿幾歲、我得十幾歲👍但真係好鍾意聽佢啲歌、買佢一隻" 杜比系統"唱碟😳嗰陣要幾佰蚊一隻(黑膠碟) 可惜保留唔到😥
I’m almost a blubbering idiot every time I hear her sing, my eyes well up every time, it’s not that she died so young, it’s is that her voice really knows how to grab me. And Richards contribution to the musical element to this material is 2 nd to none.
Thank you🌟❤️♥️❤️
Their parents were a problem for Karen, especially her mother. She always favored her son.
always delighted to discover some insight about the Carpenters and i appreciate so muchall and any info related to them There will never be a better group. So glad Richard continues with the music. iam sure it is very hard to not have Karen even after so many years. She was such an unmatched talent and so outgoing and vibrant.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Karen is regarded as one of the greats of all time, probably the best male/female duo of all time also, even above The Captain and Tenelle.
The Carpenters are WAY ABOVE The Captain and Tenelle.
嘉倫唔死…今年七十二歲
Karen os mágicos Voice and angelical
Karen once told my step sister Andrea at our dentist office , that, touring is hard on me!!!!!
When Andrea told me that, this weird feeling came over me......i knew something was not right!
I felt bad!!!
