- Popular Singer, Karen Carpenter, has died. She was 32 years old.
Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 - February 4, 1983) was an American drummer and singer who, along with her elder brother Richard, was part of the duo the Carpenters. She was praised for her three-octave contralto vocal range and drumming abilities. Her struggles with eating disorders would later raise awareness of anorexia and body dysmorphia.
Carpenter was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and moved to Downey, California, in 1963 with her family. She began to study the drums in high school and joined the Long Beach State choir after graduating. After several years of touring and recording, Carpenters were signed to A&M Records in 1969, achieving commercial and critical success throughout the 1970s. Initially, Carpenter was the band's full-time drummer, but gradually took the role of frontwoman as drumming was reduced to a handful of live showcases or tracks on albums. While Carpenters were on hiatus in the late 1970s, she recorded a solo album, which was released years after her death.
Briefly married in the early 1980s, Carpenter suffered from anorexia nervosa, which was little-known at the time. Her death from heart failure at age 32, related to complications of her illness, led to increased visibility and awareness of eating disorders. Her work continues to attract praise, including appearing on Rolling Stone's 2010 list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.
Little did many people know, on that day the world lost one of the most outstanding and unique voices in the history of music.
I agree. There’s a richness in her voice that goes to the soul.
The best female vocalist the world has ever known
Karen Carpenter, Crystal Gayle, and Celine Dion were and still are the greatest female singers of the last and this century. Karen was at her best when she recorded For All We Know, Crystal Gayle was at her best when she recorded When I Dream, and Celine Dion was at her best when she recorded the theme song for the movie Titanic, The Heart Will Go On !!
Whitney Houston as well
Patsy cline
You're not wrong my friend ❤
It's been 40 years since we lost Karen Carpenter.
What a moving and beautiful voice.
I think it was a real shame that Karen Carpenter never got the help for her anorexia that she so desperately needed. It’s a rotten hand of cards that she was dealt and I hope that some good has come out of that terrible tragedy. 😢😢
May God rest her soul. She was my fav!!!!
Not one word about her phenomenal drumming. Karen Carpenter considered herself a drummer who sang, and not the other way around. She was most at home behind the drum kit. If she'd been allowed to stay in her comfort zone, she might have lived much longer than she did.
Love Karen Always Have Always Will ❤️💔
I can tell you one thing she was one of the most beautiful woman I've seen I know there's a lot of beautiful women but does not too many women that have a beautiful face in a beautiful voice that God blessed her with that

"Karen Carpenter Died this morning..." - Delivered with the same emotion as the Dow Jones performance index of the day.
After checking on Wikipedia, yes February 4, 1983
100 millions d album en 13ans tout est dit karen stard of the word
Way to announce her death by cracking a partial pun line joke, she had only just begun to live 😂😂😂 I’m sorry for laughing I just can’t believe she said that!
Unfortunately though it really wasn’t a pun. She truly did only just begin to live, which is the saddest part. But her heart gave out due to the drug ipecac. It truly is sad. She couldn’t escape the anorexia and bulimia.
😓😓😔😔
Karen was starving for attention and perfection.
When did Karen Carpenter die? Please answer my question.
