Still one of the most hauntingly gorgeous songs ever written and THE BEST version as well.

Oh Karen Carpenter... you were just marvelous. I love you and your music, and I'm just 21 years old. Your talent tops all the crap we hear nowadays. Brilliant SINGER AND MUSICIAN!

I am a fossil of 60 years, and the Carpenters were of my childhood. Karen's voice was a warm, soothing blanket to me, when everyone else was supposed to be digging Led Zeppelin. I think that there are probably many talented & gifted singers/muscians today, but the one glaring omission is humility and self deprecation. To me, it seems that too many performers are either into themselves, or think they are God's gift to entertainment. Karen NEVER came across that way.

AMAZING! Her contralto was so deep, powerful, thick and rich. Such an unique tone. Her low notes are heaven. Same with her sustained ones. Specially when she mixed in some high parts of her songs. Her voice is a treasure.

Sang it from the depths of her soul. Gave it 100% of her energy, but being so thin, I'm sure her energy was limited. This would explain how quietly the band played the first half of the song so as not to drown her magnificent voice out. Fantastic performance. Can only think of two other female singers who could match Karen in terms of vocal perfection live, Dusty Springfield in the 60's and early 70's and Anne Murray.

I can also add a top-rated Liberace special from November 1971. Roy Oribison was also filmed at Festival Hall on October 2, 1972, parts of this special(obviously using the same director and crew for the Carpenters special as the camerawork is identical) can be seen on youtube.

@ravello99 Yes, her voice has an unique seal. In my own opinion, nobody can sound like Karen. Her perfect pitch and midtone were just characteristics that only she could have according to her vocal type. Voices are unique and I do believe you can find your greatness in your own pipes and make them shine. Karen is a perfect example. She was a phenomenal and unique singer. Her voice was simply unique.

If in UK or Australia they had to perform live by law - USA was much easier production wise to lip-sync, although Ella Fitzgerald sang live against Karen's pre-record for their duetted medly in 1981.

It is fortunate that Australias CH 7 network altered their original plans for a Carpenters TV special. It was apparently planned to produce an hour Carpenter special at Sydneys 7 studios, such a special would have almost certainly have been lip synched. However, things changed and the first Melbourne concert was recorded instead, a 100 % live performance.
