Karen Carpenter had flawless pitch...she was known as one take singer by those who worked with her. Never missed a beat. She is the platinum standard for vocalists. Never show boated, humble to a flaw. Gone to soon. ❤️❤️👵🏻
To my ears, the greatest female vocalist of all time. And brother Richard was a genius arranger and composer, and a fine singer in his own right. My first concert: The Carpenters, Portland, Maine, 1972
I am so Jealous...….A little younger than you.....While I've seen everyone from Diana Ross to Streisand....Stevie Nicks to Connie Francis.....The one Group/Duo I wish I had seen.....Is The Carpenters......
I'm a classically trained musician. I've studied composition and orchestration. And I'm a huge admirer of the complex arrangements of Frank Zappa and other more extreme stuff like Schoenberg as well. And yet, The Carpenters' Christmas album blows me away every time. Richard was so young at the time, but he brought an enormous amount of musical understanding and sophistication to those standard tunes, in a way that I've never heard before. I suppose it goes to show what can be achieved when someone truly talented applies their skills to their material in a serious and respectful way, no matter what that material may be, or how it's traditionally been known and performed.
Karen had the voice of an angel, sadly the world lost her to anorexia in 1983, at the age of 33",her brother Richard Co wrote many of her hits, please check out Solitaire, it's just beautiful, keep the faith bró,
gerry Ward -I Still get Angry when I hear her voice,& in seconds, tears flow BC of her senseless death.Then I get whisked away, to that Special Place I went as a teen, listening to her, when my world wasn't spinning right,& when it Was spinning right!
Karen was an angel sent to spread peace and joy with her voice , you can't have a voice like that that has such an effect on peoples with so many different musical tastes and different backgrounds and bring them all together through her music , yes she was an angel.
@kimmo maki when she passed her heart was beating once every 10 seconds , i miss her sooo much but being on here with like minded people enjoying her music and remembering her makes her loss easier to live with .
I actually had the pleasure of seeing them in back in the day and her voice. We were all mesmerized. She had the voice of an angel. Thank you for appreciating her.
Karen Carpenter had one of the most pure, angelic voice, We definitely lost a beautiful voice and lady the day she passed away. There will never be another voice like hers in any lifetime.
Oh gosh what a beautiful soul this guy is, he couldnt take his eyes off Karen Carpenter, but I couldnt take my eyes of him, his energy could be seen changing during that performance, just shows the power of how she used her talent, and also the power of music over our lives. Thank you for sharing this with us JB, your a wonderful person. Much love from the United Kingdom x
Just know you're worth it! Believe that and keep listening to great, uplifting music. Spread the compassion and love and the world will be a better place. God bless you, brother!!! And yes, Karen Carpenter had such a wonderful voice, a voice of Angels. She is probably my favorite singer ever. I was blessed to come from that era and enjoyed The Carpenters when it wasn't cool to do so. I loved their music back then and I love it today.
One of the greatest singers that ever lived!!! Karen!!! I remember as a kid I used to close my eyes and just concentrate on that phenomenal voice and I have never been so moved by a voice ever. The one and only Karen!! Something that really touches my heart is all the young people that are discovering the Carpenters and Karen now, because their parents were big fans, and the young people love it as much as their parents do. Timeless music and voices like this Live on Forever. Richard is still with us on earth. Karen could not be more loved and more Missed. She is the only one who could even teach the angels in heaven how to really sing a song. There will never be another Karen!!!
An unbelievable loss to the music world... One of the greatest female voices, if not the greatest... I'm so glad you are a fan. I was in my late teens when they first came around. Have been a fan for 50 years now... Sing on Karen. Her voice is timeless....
Karen is another beautiful voice that left us way to soon... One of the best Wedding songs ever.. I walked down the aisle while this song played on Valentine's Day 1981 perfect song ...
Karen Carpenter is so underrated. Her voice is almost hauntingly beautiful. Another great Carpenters song is called Superstar (Don't You Remember You Told Me You Loved Me Baby). I hope things are looking up for you - your reactions make people smile. Not everyone can say they that what they do makes someone else's day a little brighter. Cheesy, I know - but also true.
The Carpenters... I remember my Mom listening to them as I grew up. Along with The Mama's and The Papas and Niel Young and several others. Thanks for a great Memory of my Mother ❤🎶
This song has been played at countless weddings over the years. Hope you listen to her sing "Superstar", beautiful song with such yearning in her voice.
I'm praying for you, JB. Keep strong sweetheart, don't give up the fight. I know what you're saying without you having to say it. I've been there too. Do whatever it takes to keep going, even if it's only getting through "today". People are always on here and ready to talk to you in the comments section. It doesn't have to be "deep" conversation, just chatting and knowing you are being heard can help. Just ask a question about Queen and see how many of the fans answer you. We like to talk about things we love. Sending you prayers, love and hugs, Helen in the UK xxxx
I agree , for a long time I have felt JB is like a son to me, my kid, not that it matters but I’m a 68 year old female and from the start I could feel JBs soul if that makes any sense!! I hope he can feel our love!!! I never had a son !! But I feel like I do now!!!!❤❤❤
I love that you loved her. Fun fact. Karen's voice has been proven to have had healing qualities. Her beautiful alto actually relieves stress. She was an angel inside and out. Bless her heart. And bless yours too. I hope you're doing well today. ❤
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices..Even die hard rock and rollers, punk rockers loved her vocals. I highly recommend her cover of Leon Russell's beautiful "Superstar". Her voice evokes so much...I'm so sorry that you are having a difficult time. Music also helps me to cope with things. I'm glad we can help brighten your day.. You have such a warm, caring, lovely manner. I hope whatever it is you are going through, time and your will, can help you move through it to the other end..
Brandon Lee Funny I never considered her voice soft, rather very strong. She never exerted herself vocally at all, never over sang. I mean can you imagine if she had?
Honestly, I can't recall how I came across your channel...in total agreement with you...would be lost without music...my heart goes out to you and I pray whatever comes your way, the GOOD LORD will see you through...LOVE, LOVE, your channel! Be ENCOURAGED...YOU'RE doing and will continue to do GREAT things!💛
She never begun to live before she left us. Thank you Karen for those great Christmas specials when I was growing up. Your death was shocking. Many of us still love and listen to you 💗
As much as I love Karen, and as much as I absolutely love this song and have seen this video so many times, the truth is I couldn't help but notice the pure joy and emotion on your face as you watched it and listened to her amazing voice. I'm so happy to hear and see that it touched you so much.
You aren't alone. I don't know what I'd do without music either. You are in my prayers. You are a very special person. I felt that before I clicked on your video. We are here for you!
James, Sweetie...partway through this song I saw something in your eyes beyond your usual appreciation of a beautiful song. I actually thought "he's hurting over something" and I felt a little alarmed because as I've said before, I feel a bit maternal toward you. I think partly because you show such heart, openness & feeling, there's a sweetness of spirit that shows through. That's a good thing but it makes you vulnerable to all the negative things (and people) that can happen in life. Then you expressed what you're feeling at the end and I wished I could step through the screen & hug you, sit down & talk with you. And I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. This may be "just the internet", but remember that we're real people out here, and we (especially those of us who've been with you from the start) feel genuine affection for you and concern when something's wrong. Any encouragement we offer is heartfelt & I hope you can feel that. We've seen some of your beautiful family here on your channel so I know you're not alone (thank God), but I also know we can also feel lonely or isolated in whatever emotional pain we're feeling. Please consider us an additional source of comfort, love & prayers. I've been going through a lot for some time now, and your videos have often made me smile or even laugh when I didn't think I could. They've also touched my heart when you've felt moved by the music I've always loved. You're right, sometimes music is what keeps us going, as does the human connection it provides between us all as we enjoy it together. Because you've given me lots of little moments of joy I just had to try to give you a little something in return. You have not only my affection but my respect for the kind of person you are. Please try to stay positive...you've got a long life ahead of you that will be full of both high points & low ones. Hold on through the lows, enjoy the highs. Remember there are always good people who care. Which reminds me, there's a very famous & beautiful song called "You'll Never Walk Alone." You should listen to Elvis' version of it (it's been done by everyone from Patti Labelle to The Righteous Brothers). It's uplifting and has helped so many people over many years. Please listen to it, maybe do a reaction so it'll be shared with even more people. 💙
Very well said, Deborah. I also felt like I wish I could reach through the screen and protect him from his difficulties. Life can be so hard some times.
I could see it as well. Its like he got zoned out and begin to think and feel about what he may be going through. I could see the emotion and tears starting ti fill up in his eyes. But he held it together.
That woman had the voice of an angel...Aside from that she was actually a very talented drummer, as well, of all things...Listen to her Christmas songs. Incredible. I know I've asked you once before, and you get lots of requests, but can you please react to Eva Cassidy. You won't believe that woman's voice. I pray that you find peace in your life. This world can be hard, on even the most hardened of us. Just keep going for the good things in your life..Music does the same for me, and has all my life, and that's 62 years.
I wholly agree that Karen was a wonderful singer and drummer. I could listen to her all day and night (which it is right now). I also agree that a reaction to Eva Cassidy (especially "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and/or "Fields Of Gold") would be greatly appreciated by this reactor (JB)!
My son is a grown man now. But when he cried when he was a baby I picked him up and danced to the carpenters. Worked every time! Especially "Our" song: close to you. I still feel that way about him. 💕 thank you for the reaction! Sweet memories.
JB, Your reaction brought tears to my eyes. I truly hope you do go and explore the Carpenters catalog of songs. Even the ones that were not released as singles are absolutely stunning. check out their Album Lovelines. I think i'ts my favorite. There is a reason why many legendary singers consider Karen Crpenter, in the words of Elton John, "The great female vocalist of our lifetime"
Karen had one of the purest, most beautiful voices of all time! My heart broke the day she died! And Richard was an absolute genius! Amazingly, Karen did not even want to be out front; she was a pretty good drummer, in her own right! As a teenager, I would sit and listen to their music for hours on end!
What a wonderful soul you have, its reflected in your open , honest and emotional appreciation of music well before your time. So enjoy watching your reactions
Wow, JB! The Carpenters were huge back in the day but among the 'rockers', they were shunned....and yet it seemed like everyone had a Carpenters album stuck in the obscure stack of albums. Everyone agreed they were great but only parents and/or grandparents actually listened. Just for your bravery alone I am subscribing.
You, Sir, are great Karen had one of the Most Beautiful voices ever Her brother was a great arranger. They were good people She had great sadness God Bless You.
Love the Carpenters. Her voice is one of a kind AM radio had the Carpteners and all sorts of music from so many genres We were exposed to it all and loved so many different sounds. It is such a shame AM radio like this is not around anymore. But, you are getting your music education now. Keep going! It only gets better there is so much out there to listen to, I am still learning too!
Yes, it is a beautiful song. Your heart appreciates it in a special way. Prayers to you from someone who gave up praying that things get better for you. Your authentic nature earned it. Kudos to Karen Carpenter on the lead vocals. Her authentic nature earned that too.
Prayers that you will come to the realization that you are in fact loved unconditionally and held in the hearts of so many. And, as my mother always reminded me, "This too shall pass."
I found it. Your first reaction to The Carpenters. It still surprises me that there are so many people that have not heard The Carpenters. It's good that you can do these reaction videos to see all this music that you've missed. The 60's, 70's and early 80's were such a great time for music. I got to see it first hand. I know that some young people don't even bother to listen to it. You're lucky, you have. Now you also know how beautiful it is. Please, listen to some more. You won't be disappointed too many times.
What a voice! For All We Know is another good one from them. Her voice is perfect for Christmas music and I listen to her every day after Thanksgiving!
I agree Karen carpenters voice really gets right to the soul like no other female artist ever could so beautiful could u please do another carpenters song called for all we know thank you
Karen Carpenter had such an incredible voice. She gives hope to altos everywhere. Highly recommend 'Merry Christmas, Darling'. A couple of other people have mentioned 'Superstar'. That's also a great Carpenters song. Music provides comfort and soothes the soul. So many people don't understand that. You seem like a kind and sensitive person. I hope that, whatever you've been going through, your troubles end soon.
You said "it moved my soul" and that's true power -- It moves mine too. Music connects us all. It's the thread that unites mankind, and this beautiful angel is making waves decades after her passing. Thank you for keeping that love alive.
Ain't no sunshine - Matt Anderson, I'm going to leave this comment on all the videos of yours I watch. You'll be blown away by this gentleman, his voice, his playing guitar, and he makes you feel it. You won't be disappointed!!
“Moves my soul...”. PERFECT!! Again, Young Sir, I am compelled to tell you...What a POSITIVE impact YOU have and what AN ASSET you truly are in this world! You hit the nail right on the head 😎 MUSIC, if we let it, CAN move souls - as you say, “lift us up” and bring us all TOGETHER. Thank you for taking the time to LIFT UP others...and...may God bless, guide & protect you ‘n yours always❣️
Karen Carpenter had flawless pitch...she was known as one take singer by those who worked with her. Never missed a beat. She is the platinum standard for vocalists. Never show boated, humble to a flaw. Gone to soon. ❤️❤️👵🏻
Agreed!
Paul McCartney said she had the best female voice he'd ever heard. RIP Karen...
No autotune, no twerking, not showing an inch of skin in fact. Just beautiful pure talent.
Flawless is the best way to describe her voice. She was in a class of her own … and she sang with seemingly no effort.
To my ears, the greatest female vocalist of all time. And brother Richard was a genius arranger and composer, and a fine singer in his own right. My first concert: The Carpenters, Portland, Maine, 1972
I am so Jealous...….A little younger than you.....While I've seen everyone from Diana Ross to Streisand....Stevie Nicks to Connie Francis.....The one Group/Duo I wish I had seen.....Is The Carpenters......
Karen Carpenter and "Momma" Cass Elliott.... voices of angels !!
agreed
I'm a classically trained musician. I've studied composition and orchestration. And I'm a huge admirer of the complex
arrangements of Frank Zappa and other more extreme stuff like Schoenberg as well.
And yet, The Carpenters' Christmas album blows me away every time.

She was actually 32, 1 month shy of her 33rd birthday.
You could see her on talk shows as just some bones. It hurts.
gerry Ward -I Still get Angry when I hear her voice,& in seconds, tears flow BC of her senseless death.Then I get whisked away, to that Special Place I went as a teen, listening to her, when my world wasn't spinning right,& when it Was spinning right!

Her tone demands that you listen. It just captures you. Beautiful
Her incredible voice would melt anyone’s heart.Sorely missed by millions.
Nobody sings like her, she had such a gorgeous voice. I think I was in 6th grade when this came out 💕💕
Silk
My favorite Carpenter's song.......it's so beautiful!!!

I fell in love with Karen long before I ever saw her face. That voice is so pure and so much range... RIP sweet lady...
Just know you're worth it! Believe that and keep listening to great, uplifting music. Spread the compassion and love and the world will be a better place. God bless you, brother!!!

Her voice is velvet. It goes down smooth like honey.
A beautiful voice and a darn good drummer too.
yeah...an amazing drummer ..hard to believe when I saw her drum
It’s wonderful seeing people discovering her amazing voice for the first time
The voice of an angel.
Karen Carpenter is so underrated. Her voice is almost hauntingly beautiful. Another great Carpenters song is called Superstar (Don't You Remember You Told Me You Loved Me Baby). I hope things are looking up for you - your reactions make people smile. Not everyone can say they that what they do makes someone else's day a little brighter. Cheesy, I know - but also true.

Amen brother.
She was an ANGEL sent straight from heaven. She will soothe the soul 💕💕💕
The Carpenters... I remember my Mom listening to them as I grew up. Along with The Mama's and The Papas and Niel Young and several others. Thanks for a great Memory of my Mother ❤🎶
This song has been played at countless weddings over the years. Hope you listen to her sing "Superstar", beautiful song with such yearning in her voice.
Beautiful angelic voice. This song was probably the biggest wedding song of the 70s.
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful singing voices ever. I loved Solitaire.
I'm praying for you, JB. Keep strong sweetheart, don't give up the fight. I know what you're saying without you having to say it. I've been there too. Do whatever it takes to keep going, even if it's only getting through "today".
People are always on here and ready to talk to you in the comments section. It doesn't have to be "deep" conversation, just chatting and knowing you are being heard can help.

Hells Bells how sweet and well said ! He a special young man I think
Sharing your sadness makes me want to cry cuz I'm there myself brother
Beautiful comment lady!
I agree , for a long time I have felt JB is like a son to me, my kid, not that it matters but I’m a 68 year old female and from the start I could feel JBs soul if that makes any sense!! I hope he can feel our love!!! I never had a son !! But I feel like I do now!!!!❤❤❤
Your facial reactions to this song are simply heart touching!
I love that you loved her. Fun fact. Karen's voice has been proven to have had healing qualities. Her beautiful alto actually relieves stress. She was an angel inside and out. Bless her heart. And bless yours too. I hope you're doing well today. ❤
Let's not forget about the arrangements and those harmonies. When they kick in ... heaven
Yes.......music lifts me up and soothes my soul like nothing else.
“White lace and promises, a kiss for luck and we’re on our way, we’ve only begun.” Timeless lyric.
Right there with ya on the importance of music. Don't know what we'd do without it.
Your facial expression at 2:00 says it all. I've listened to this song for 30+ years and I still get chills.
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices..Even die hard rock and rollers, punk rockers loved her vocals. I highly recommend her cover of Leon Russell's beautiful "Superstar". Her voice evokes so much...I'm so sorry that you are having a difficult time. Music also helps me to cope with things. I'm glad we can help brighten your day.. You have such a warm, caring, lovely manner. I hope whatever it is you are going through, time and your will, can help you move through it to the other end..
A beautiful lady with a voice of an angel.
I want that voice to give me a hug
one of the greatest soft voices ever. And one of the best voices ever, Like an Angel thx man!
Brandon Lee Plus, a pretty good drummer.
Brandon Lee Funny I never considered her voice soft, rather very strong. She never exerted herself vocally at all, never over sang. I mean can you imagine if she had?
Honestly, I can't recall how I came across your channel...in total agreement with you...would be lost without music...my heart goes out to you and I pray whatever comes your way, the GOOD LORD will see you through...LOVE, LOVE, your channel!
Be ENCOURAGED...YOU'RE doing and will continue to do GREAT things!💛
dude your face is absolutely priceless! glad to see that you have fallen in love with this angel!
She never begun to live before she left us. Thank you Karen for those great Christmas specials when I was growing up. Your death was shocking. Many of us still love and listen to you 💗
I recall Dionne Warwick saying that Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice she had ever heard. That's high praise.
As much as I love Karen, and as much as I absolutely love this song and have seen this video so many times, the truth is I couldn't help but notice the pure joy and emotion on your face as you watched it and listened to her amazing voice. I'm so happy to hear and see that it touched you so much.
I started crying watching you watch the video. I love The Carpenters and I’m so glad I got to see them as a kid.
I would pay money to listen to her sing the phone book or dictionary. Fantastic.
You aren't alone. I don't know what I'd do without music either. You are in my prayers. You are a very special person. I felt that before I clicked on your video. We are here for you!
loved the carpenters.

Perfect response. Thanks for your eloquence on saying what many of us wanted to say
What a superb comment which shows what a lovely person you are....
I could see it as well. Its like he got zoned out and begin to think and feel about what he may be going through. I could see the emotion and tears starting ti fill up in his eyes. But he held it together.
effortless... what a fantastic voice and talent. I don't think she ever appreciated how very good she was.
That woman had the voice of an angel...Aside from that she was actually a very talented drummer, as well, of all things...Listen to her Christmas songs. Incredible.

Steve DAmico i had no idea she was a drummer. Thanks for the info!
I wholly agree that Karen was a wonderful singer and drummer. I could listen to her all day and night (which it is right now). I also agree that a reaction to Eva Cassidy (especially "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and/or "Fields Of Gold") would be greatly appreciated by this reactor (JB)!
She now teaches the angels!
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS OF ALL TIME
Love watching young people discover something new.......and open secret...just waiting to be discovered..Congratulations JB!!!!
Heaven sent !
My son is a grown man now. But when he cried when he was a baby I picked him up and danced to the carpenters. Worked every time! Especially "Our" song: close to you. I still feel that way about him. 💕 thank you for the reaction! Sweet memories.
One of the greatest voices in music. Her and Ann Wilson of Heart have FANTASTIC voices.
Cannot believe she was only 32 when she died.
Her voice always stops me in my tracks. Still my favorite voice ever.
I love The Carpenters. So many beautiful songs. Karen voice is so unique. Talented duo.
Unbelievable clarity in Karen Carpenters voice. Left us too soon. I think we all leave too soon. LoL
What a loss to the world of music she was a class all her own loved this review thankyou:)))
Hang in there brother, we all go thru tuff times. You never now what good things await you in life. You have a good soul.
Calling Occupants is my favorite Carpenters song, love her voice
Always love your reactions. You’re my favorite, and you have a good soul too. Praying for you.
her voice always haunting yet beautiful
JB, Your reaction brought tears to my eyes. I truly hope you do go and explore the Carpenters catalog of songs. Even the ones that were not released as singles are absolutely stunning. check out their Album Lovelines. I think i'ts my favorite. There is a reason why many legendary singers consider Karen Crpenter, in the words of Elton John, "The great female vocalist of our lifetime"
Saw them twice in concert. Their music, her voice, is therapeutic. Stay strong brother.
I'm so glad your still reacting to 70's music! Keep doing them please!
I like to see your reaction after a sound bath! Especially in person with the crystal bowls and gong.
Karen had one of the purest, most beautiful voices of all time! My heart broke the day she died! And Richard was an absolute genius! Amazingly, Karen did not even want to be out front; she was a pretty good drummer, in her own right! As a teenager, I would sit and listen to their music for hours on end!
Hang in there, JB. You are surrounded by love and friends. We're here for you.
What a wonderful soul you have, its reflected in your open , honest and emotional appreciation of music well before your time. So enjoy watching your reactions
and a hell of a drummer if you ever check out her vids on youtube..amazing women...sorely missed
Wow, JB! The Carpenters were huge back in the day but among the 'rockers', they were shunned....and yet it seemed like everyone had a Carpenters album stuck in the obscure stack of albums. Everyone agreed they were great but only parents and/or grandparents actually listened. Just for your bravery alone I am subscribing.
You, Sir, are great Karen had one of the Most Beautiful voices ever
Her brother was a great arranger. They were good people She had great sadness God Bless You.
Love the Carpenters. Her voice is one of a kind AM radio had the Carpteners and all sorts of music from so many genres We were exposed to it all and loved so many different sounds. It is such a shame AM radio like this is not around anymore. But, you are getting your music education now. Keep going! It only gets better there is so much out there to listen to, I am still learning too!
Loved your reaction JB. You sound a very decent soul.
Keep listening to The Carpenters, Karen will get you through all struggles in this life.
She always has for me.
A beautiful soundtrack to live from.
Such a mesmerizing voice. Hauntingly beautiful. ❤️
Yes, it is a beautiful song. Your heart appreciates it in a special way. Prayers to you from someone who gave up praying that things get better for you. Your authentic nature earned it. Kudos to Karen Carpenter on the lead vocals. Her authentic nature earned that too.
The most amazing vocalist ever (male or female).
Prayers that you will come to the realization that you are in fact loved unconditionally and held in the hearts of so many. And, as my mother always reminded me, "This too shall pass."
You're a softee. God bless you.
I found it. Your first reaction to The Carpenters. It still surprises me that there are so many people that have not heard The Carpenters. It's good that you can do these reaction videos to see all this music that you've missed. The 60's, 70's and early 80's were such a great time for music. I got to see it first hand. I know that some young people don't even bother to listen to it. You're lucky, you have. Now you also know how beautiful it is. Please, listen to some more. You won't be disappointed too many times.
Beautiful song why whenevet I hear her voice does it bring me to tears the only singer that does
What a voice! For All We Know is another good one from them. Her voice is perfect for Christmas music and I listen to her every day after Thanksgiving!
God bless you brother. I feel the same with music. Will pray for you man. And for anyone else here i ask you pray for both of us. My name is Angel
The most beautiful voice. She could sing the phone book, and I would be mesmerized.
Karen Carpenter has the MOST BEAUTIFUL voice ever of anyone past or present !!!!!!!!!!!! Her voice melts my heart!!!
They have a ton of songs you really should listen to. Karens voice is as smooth and beautiful in every song she sang
I agree Karen carpenters voice really gets right to the soul like no other female artist ever could so beautiful could u please do another carpenters song called for all we know thank you
Thank you for looking past the Carpenters image and appreciating their talent and ability to move your soul with their music. Prayers sent to you. 🥰
Karen Carpenter had such an incredible voice. She gives hope to altos everywhere.
Highly recommend 'Merry Christmas, Darling'. A couple of other people have mentioned 'Superstar'. That's also a great Carpenters song.
Music provides comfort and soothes the soul. So many people don't understand that. You seem like a kind and sensitive person. I hope that, whatever you've been going through, your troubles end soon.
You said "it moved my soul" and that's true power -- It moves mine too. Music connects us all. It's the thread that unites mankind, and this beautiful angel is making waves decades after her passing. Thank you for keeping that love alive.
The voice of an angel.. sad what happened to her.
Ain't no sunshine - Matt Anderson, I'm going to leave this comment on all the videos of yours I watch. You'll be blown away by this gentleman, his voice, his playing guitar, and he makes you feel it. You won't be disappointed!!
“Moves my soul...”. PERFECT!! Again, Young Sir, I am compelled to tell you...What a POSITIVE impact YOU have and what AN ASSET you truly are in this world! You hit the nail right on the head 😎 MUSIC, if we let it, CAN move souls - as you say, “lift us up” and bring us all TOGETHER. Thank you for taking the time to LIFT UP others...and...may God bless, guide & protect you ‘n yours always❣️
Rainy days and Mondays is a great song. Her voice was velvet, like a blanket to wrap up in.
Keep your head up boo
Her voice was so pure,it always pulls my heart strings.
Karen Carpenter has the smoothest, silkiest, most angelic female voice of all time, and in all history.
