Poor Karen. All she wanted was to play drums but Herb Alpert made her the singer. Seriously.

Can you blame Herb? She had a fantastic voice.

Herb said Karen’s voice made you feel like she was sitting next to you, even if you were just listening to her on the radio.

I got to shake Herb’s hand after a concert about 5 years ago. I was thrilled

Making her sing wasn’t actually the problem, it was going on tour. Lucrative - but it was that which put her in the public eye and made her vulnerable to criticism because her figure wasn’t absolutely stunning.

How superficial can you get? I make no doubt that Richard rued the day he pushed her onto center stage ...
