The only years she looked healthy was from 69-72. But yes, obviously suffering from her eating disorder here. She’s 28 here but looks like she could be pushing 60. Tragic
that voice!! NO ONE and i mean no one could tell the story of the song better then her, whether a upbeat fun song like this or a moving love song or a sad melancholy song.. and she's also such a "ENTERTAINER!".. as demonstrated her! always in our hearts souls and minds karen!..
I think the marvelettes and beatles convery much more powerfully the sorrow and frustration of the story.. this is good nonetheless but feels much more casual
A #1 hit for The Carpenters in January 1975. It was their last #1 hit on the Top 40 charts. It also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts and the Cash Box charts. It also hit #1 in Canada and their AC charts, Japan, and South Africa. It hit #2 in Ireland & the United Kingdom, #4 in New Zealand, #5 in Switzerland, #10 in West Germany, and #29 in The Netherlands. Karen, you gave us so much, and there is no doubt that you had so much more to give. It was a sad day when you left us. You will never be forgotten.
Without a doubt the GREATEST FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME...Just listen to that stunning voice...And to find out that she had no singing lessons at all is truly amazing...And to this day the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME has still NOT inducted the CARPENTER...Shame on you RRHOF...R.I.P."KAREN CARPENTER"🙏❤️😭
So true these song were recorded on analog tapes from 1950-80s, so different with singers altered voices, thru digital recording like "Adele". karen was just blessed with good singing voice
I mean the song is her harassing the post man about a letter. Obviously she can just wait to get it instead of ruining the mans day by constantly asking lol
after this song she had 5 years left what a shame that world would lose a beautiful awesome singer like her. At least her legacy lasts that we can all enjoy
She could not stay here for long , her voice showed that it was an angel. You can see that her voice remained , although her body has not supported this existence for a long time!!!
Beautiful...it is also rare to see Karen sing live (especially this late in her life)...most tv sessions were pre-recorded lip-syncing, nice to see her singing live.
Whenever I hear Karen I think about the horrible loss of such a talent and that is just my selfishness. Everyone says good things about her so it is just awful she had to suffer so much. I think about a lot of the basically crap the industry foists on us and realize how much we lost in a talent like Karen. Love you Karen and your wonderful music we still have.
Linda 96 this song mr posman by k carpenters reminds me when i got engage seeing each other was not wellcome because of family arrangement she was living eit her family si iwrote bundleds of love letters she replied happy that my letters arrived at her destination i am in love
She had the most beautiful and soothing voice and was SO BEAUTIFUL her management team was so terrible to her telling her she had to change her image that’s why she ended up with anorexia and heart problems that killed her
those songs still had a lot of sense than that of now... and we appreciate the lyrics... unlike some of the songs we have now they make a lot of noise i cant appreciate it
2/3/2023 hubieras cumplido setenta y tres años. Lamentablemente te fuiste hace mucho pero quedó tu hermosa voz y tus inolvidables canciones. Por siempre Karen !!!
this is a clear example of what a beautiful is about. No fireworks, no high belting notes. Just pure voice, swing and clearness.
@emin RIFFS AND RUNS like today singers. They're all about high notes and riffs and runs
Her voice is so perfect and she is singing it live on TV. My fav singer of all time and there will never be one like her!!
aallpp55 Have you heard of whitney houston. Not discrediting Karen Carpenter! She is a great singer but just listen to whitney
Adore her too, if you like her you most probably dig the seekers too.
Deary Me No thanks, she’s not remotely as talented as Karen was
@@Ilikebernie I love Whitney, but Karen Carpenter had the best voice ever.
She was very ill at the time, still her voice was as beautiful as ever.
She always looked so ill - especially towards the end, inevitably. So sad.
The only years she looked healthy was from 69-72. But yes, obviously suffering from her eating disorder here. She’s 28 here but looks like she could be pushing 60. Tragic
a professional. imagine these years if she were still among us. 💜
@@kyawkyawwin1 when ? 1978?
was very ill at the time? 1978? She was still young?
that voice!! NO ONE and i mean no one could tell the story of the song better then her, whether a upbeat fun song like this or a moving love song or a sad melancholy song.. and she's also such a "ENTERTAINER!".. as demonstrated her! always in our hearts souls and minds karen!..

John Lennon tells the story much better, he really seems to be suffering as much as the person waiting for the card.
The fact I'm a 31 year old male and every time I get pissed I listen to the carpenters. Karens voice is like a brain massage!
The only pleasant Karen
A good Karen!
Now 36 years.
you never hear a off note from this great singer! perfect pitch!!!!!!!
I was just singing this song today and alas it popped up here.
Dear Karen, wish you loved yourself as much as we love you.
She's simply lovely
Yes karen was iconic, there will never be a legend like karen
ever again? in my view karen had the best singing voice of all time?
She looks so sick
What a voice!What a happy and smooth sound!What a great great performance! i love it till the end of my live...

This beautiful voice goes straight into the heart! Sax is one of the finest instruments for all the times! I love, to play it.
karen was so beautiful and her voice was wonderful
Ela brinca com as letras, harmonia, voz , saindo com muita perfeição, obrigado Karen.
懐かしいです。子供の頃、聴いた記憶があります。美人で、色気の歌声に癒しを感じますね❤何回、聴いても飽きない曲です。
What a beautifully clear voice with perfect pitch.
So true these song were recorded on analog tapes from 1950-80s, so different with singers altered voices, thru digital recording like "Adele". karen was just blessed with good singing voice
I’ll miss you forever, beautiful Karen. 😪 R.I.P. ✝️💐❤️
No auto-tune. No suggestive backup dancers. Just... a good song.
Zippy agree

Love her voice. She is very much missed.
I love Karen Carpenter it´s such a shame that nobody could help her, she looks so sad and sick, but that beautiful voice still remain

Karen e a mais linda voz da música mundial
VERDADE, Deixou muitas saudades
Concordo com você.

Poor thing.... such a tragedy, her voice was AMAZING!
Carpenters, ABBA, Bee Gees, Steve Miller Band, Supertramp... man, the 70s were fucking awesome
Today is her 35th Death Anniversary. Rest in peace Karen. Thank you for the songs you left us.

Love her voice, and the guitar solo rocked...
She is just awesome . Love her voice and miss her presentation even now .
