As far as vocals go, Karen Carpenter could out-sing anyone. I defy someone to find a better vocalist.

Totally agree regarding Karen Carpenter..no one could sing like her..she had a marvelous alto voice! I often think of her with sadness.. such a loss - she died very young..I think she was only 32 years old.
But, wouldn’t it have been been wonderful if Richard had produced a “standards” album with Karen.. it would have been a classic!
Sigh..there’s a lot of “what if’s”...

The pride of West Haven , CT was good, but I don't recall her working solo.

Forgot Karen. Simply natural voice. I know folks will probably spit, but Pink’s natural voice ability reminds me a lot of Karen. Both have voices that just flow.

You’re right about KC. A close second would be Alison Krauss. Sings like an angel.
BTW, John Wayne wanted her to costar in True Grit. He thought she would have been great in the role that Kim Darby had. He never got along with Darby.

LOL. And what shall we use for the objective measure? Range? Others have better. Intonation? Will blue notes be acceptable? Song choice?
