Maybe the most beautiful voice to ever sing a tune.

[Alan-lvrw]

From 1971. The best female voice of the 20th century.

[randytorres]

Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett wrote this song, which is about a woman who falls for a rock star, has a tryst with him, but then in a bout of delusion awaits his return, apparently falling for it when he said he loved her.

A line in the second verse was considered too lyrically risqué at the time, and was changed by Richard Carpenter to better fit the duo's image. The Carpenters' version of the lyric, "And I can hardly wait to be with you again" is "And I can hardly wait to sleep with you again" in the original version.

When the Carpenters version became a hit, Bette Midler took some shots at Karen Carpenter, often mocking her wholesome image. Karen claimed the jokes didn't bother her; after her death, Midler apologized in Redbook magazine, saying she often thinks of Karen.

"Superstar" was recorded by Karen on her first take, singing the lyrics that had been scribbled by Richard onto a napkin. It took a while for Karen to warm up to the song. "For some reason that tune didn't hit me in the beginning, " she recalled in a 1981 interview. "It's the only one. Richard looked at me like I had three heads. He said: 'Are you out of your mind?' When I heard his arrangement of it I fell over, and now it's one of my favorites too."

She has such a beautiful voice that I can listen to her for hours.

[clydeb]

Clearest and most melodic female voice ever heard.

[Cadinho]

Karen Carpenter had one of the most crystal clear stunning voices of the '70s. It's unforgettable! Remember this is live with no auto-tune.

Also, not only did Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful smooth voice ever, she rarely "belted" out songs, but rather, sang just above a whisper. Her brother Richard, was himself, an accomplished composer and music director. Together, their harmonies rocked the '70s and early '80s. Before Karen was known for her vocals, she was already considered one of America's most talented drummers!

[Lucidleo-liyu]

Nitwits never appreciate the genius of Karen Carpenter... No auto tune, no computer manipulations... She actually sang like that. Usually with just one take. She also was one of the best drummers of her time.

[MitchellWilkinson-mn]

Superstar is the Carpenters hit recording of Leon Russell's original balad. Karen's expressive narration is a that she falls for the guitar player star in performance and she imagines they have an affair. Of all the women pop singers since this era, Carpenter is unmatched in warmth and rich tone in the lower alto vocal range.

[Amarie]

No electronics in the 40's 50's 60's 70's and 80's All raw talent musical instrument backgrounds

[aks]

I absolutely love the Carpenters. They remind me of being little. LoL
Her voice is just too beautiful!

[fredmcveigh]

No auto tune then .Karen really didn't need anything .Her voice was faultless and pure .She was also one heck of a drummer. God bless her .

[quincee]

i'll always remember Chris Farley and David Spade singing along to this in the funny comedy Tommy Boy.

[neillenet]

She clearly says in the 1st verse, "I fell in love with you before the 2nd show." She falls in love with him at the show and then never hears back from him and only hears him on the radio

[maryl]

Karen has such a beautiful and flawless voice. ❤

[lesgrezes]

Stunningly beautiful voice, pure sunshine

[toddreese]

The soul version of “Superstar” you may have heard was recorded by Luther Vandross. RIP LV.

I grew up in Downey, CA home of the Carpenters and Karen and Rochard Carpenter.

Back in the 80's they were all the buzz when she died in 83 nor so. The Olympics was in 1984 so everyone was focused on that. There is still a building at my High School, Downey High School named ther Carpenters builing (old 1940's renovated building), It was under reno when I graduated but man that building was beasutifl, much like Karens voice.

[filmsensei]

I always interpreted it as she’s a groupie who actually hooked up with a singer and made more of it than what it was, just a one night stand. Her voice is so rich here. She’s mesmerizing.

[smillstill]

"The money is in the basement" - Karen Carpenter, referring to the popularity of her plunges into low Contralto range which would be baritone for a male.

[blazefleetwood]

I get lost in the richness of her voice
Karen rocked in a soulful way
