I didn't know until the VH1 movie about the Carpenters, that she was a drummer
RIP Karen.
That may have been the documentary I saw about her on You Tube. It was well done.
Carpenters were my first college concert.
Yes, Karen drummed some.
This song is one of my favorites along with goodbye to love.
My first concert also. Civic Arena in Pittsburgh circa 1972.
I’ve always loved The Carpenters. They were my first concert, at the tender age of 16, summer 1972, the Budokan-Tokyo, Japan.
Talented, gifted, beautiful voice. So young. So sad.
Thanks.
My parents used to listen to the Carpenters. I was a hard rock/heavy metal guy back in the 80s, so I kept the fact that I liked their music well hidden.
British guitarist analyses Karen Carpenter youtube says her voice was incredibly accurate, live or in studio. He or one of the comments notes that they tried adding a second track of her voice with a slight delay. They couldn’t do it because the waves cancelled each other, they matched so well.
I remember “easy listening” radio stations which only existed because of The Carpenters.
Chick music in my wasted youth
Kind of strange
How people are drawn to such distinct different music forms within popular music
I could dig pop
Grass roots
Paul revere
Tommy James even the Cowsils
I was 13 in 1970
But carpenters
My mom liked
Good voice no question
Did u see deep purple or cheap trick there too
My sis had Carpenter and Manilow posters up all over her room in the ‘70s.
Karen did have a great voice.
“Good voice no question”
A friend of mine was in the Long Beach State choir with Karen Carpenter. Both had 3 octave range. In fact I think my friend could actually sing 4 octaves. A great voice but not interested in pop music. She went on to a career as a choir director.
No. Not my taste.
