What a beautiful voice, and a tragic death.
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.

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.

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.

I remember “easy listening” radio stations which only existed because of The Carpenters.

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
