i met the carpenters backstage in 1974, and it was after the show, i told them both that the gratefull dead was in town, and i disnt know who i wanted to go see, anyway , i picked them, as i told karen "to hear you play drums as much as sing, cause i am a drummer and you are great"...her eyes got as large as pie pans and said oh, wow ....did you like the drum solo? replied "it was much better than i expected, , , i will catch the dead both were drummer" she made a little squeek and grabed me and gave me this warm tender hug saying "thank you, thank you , thank a kiss on the cheek , looking at richard she said "see some do come to hear me on the laughed and and said you really made her made mine, . the joy on her face from my comment i will always remember when i hear them . if only someone could have loved her enough to let her be the real woman she tried so hard to be, bless them perry como too.

Every time I hear Karen Carpenter's stunning, perfect voice I'm just so heartbroken that she was taken too soon. I wish I didn't have this reaction every single time but it's involuntary. What an angel.

[artsci]

Karen Carpenter should be voted the best female vocalist ever!

[daveseth]

An Angel on Earth, there will never be another Karen. Godspeed.

[DaveHof]

Once upon a time, music was beautiful, and singers could sing.

[PhilGeissler]

I love Perry, but Karen's voice is another world of awesomeness!

[seedsofhopeonline]

Two of the greatest vocalists ever. If you aren’t moved hearing Karen and Perry something is desperately wrong with you.

[hectoraguirre]

Beautiful angelic voice! Too bad there aren't any recordings of Karen singing some of Perry's greatest hits. Her voice literally takes you by storm. Never be another like Karen's. She left us too soon.

[jamesmaass]

One of the most haunting and incredible voices in our lifetime. Karen left this world far too soon

[robertmurchison]

I so admire the angelic voices of Karen Carpenter and Perry Como!

[mmills]

There was always a sadness in her voice to me. Even singing upbeat or happy songs or smiling through those songs. Her voice always touched me.

[jimpreston]

Absolutely gorgeous....the epitome of her beauty....those eyes could melt your heart....those lips warm your soul....damn, gone too soon..., love...😎🥂

[dean-music]

That was 5 minutes of my time that I could have on loop for the rest of eternity. Soulful. I've never really listened to the Carpenters, but I'll be on my way to do so now. What more can be said about Perry Como? One of the greatest voices of all time.

[ckrtom]

She’s so very special. Forever etched in our hearts and memories.

[ionthetarget]

Gorgeous Karen. The voice. Sublime. One of a kind. Gone way too soon.

[thomasschmitz]

can i just say as a grown man of 49 years old, i literally bawl hearing karen sing "it's impossible"...not afraid to admit it this in regards to my favorite (and the greatest) female voice of love and romance songs ever!....

[RitaSora]

Happy 72nd Birthday Karen! Always with us! Love You forever!

[iliketowatchvideos]

She looks beautiful here gorgeous eyes

[therocknrollmillennial]

It's becoming a habit of mine, watching Karen over and over. I just love the feeling that she exudes in most of her videos. Watching her nonchalantly keep time hits me in such the right place. In a world that is becoming increasingly less interesting, I am glad that we can still watch this lovely woman do what she loved. They just don't make them like they used to, and being a 24-year-old man in this age, I don't see much of a chance for me to find a love like the one I feel for the lost souls of old who never felt like they were worth a first chance, let alone any second ones.


I've made it a point in this month, the month of Karen's birth, to try and see all that I can of her. The good and the bad. The ups and downs. Because if we give ourselves a small breather from our emotions, she was beautiful up until the end. The end that was much too quick.


"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--Tomorrow, we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther, and then one fine morning... So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby"


Oh, what I wouldn't give to get one chance to go back and do something, anything, to help this woman see the love and respect that so many millions offer to her every day, even 36 years on from her final day.


I do hope that you've found a paradise somewhere out there, darling.
