The voice of an Angel. Karen died of an eating disorder in her 30's and my generation really lost her beautiful voice. Richard could bring out and arrange songs that highlighted her gift. RIP Karen, You are really missed.

Yes, she was something special. She only lived to 32 years (1950-1983) - she never found her LOVE during her short life. If you would react to: "Goodbye to Love" and/or "I need to be In Love" - those two songs kind of mirror her life. Thank you again... :)

If you loved that one, listen to the last song she ever recorded, "Now." Not as famous as her others, but done in one take and absolutely gorgeous! It was released after her death . I love seeing young folks discovering The Carpenters. I loved them from day one and saw them in concert twice on the 1970s.

It is so sad how this sweet lady died she had a disorder call anorexia ( I do hope I spelled that correctly). WE literaly watched her perform and gradually just got skinnier and skinnier and then one day they just announce she had passed away. I was so shocked because we all never really knew what she was going through. Her poor brother tried helping her but all it surely must have been painful for him to watch her slowly fading away. God rest her soul.

Karen and Richard also did a cover of the song called, Calling occupants of interplanetary craft . It was originally done by a band called Klaatu it was a odd song for them to cover out of the ordinary for them, but Karen and Richard knock it out of the park. check it out:) If you do react to it find the remastered video of it, also the DJ at the beginning of the song was their guitar player.

About a month ago someone reacted to her cover of Desperado. I'd never heard it and it just blew me away. All these singers that cover it and get really big and dramatic with it - but not her version. Her version is just stripped down - completely emotionally honest. It's now my favorite cover of that song. Even my mom didn't know they'd ever covered it and this is more my mom's era (because I was around 3 or 4 when these songs came out.). I think it's probably criminally underheard.

All of her songs (Richards songs) were self-deprecating. The poor girl didn't have a chance. She wasn't the golden child but she totally took the spotlight with that voice. She had no self esteem because she was always looked at the forgotten child, then she came out with that voice and totally overshadowed Richard. Agnes wouldn't have that, so she was brushed further and further into the background despite the fact she was single handedly responsibly for the international success they had. The vocalist is the star, especially those vocals.

Hi Mia 🤗 For the love of all that's sacred, PLEASE react to the original version of this classic by Leon Russell! Only in my tiny opinion, the Carpenters were over-produced and to me ONLY, sound like death by diabetes, way too much sugar in the cake. No disrespect to Karen or the band, but this to me was a not great cover of a classic by an artist who deserves more recognition. R.I P Leon Russell, some of us still appreciate your genius. 😁🤓🎹🎹
