Compared to the quality of music between the mid 60’s and mid to late 70’s, today’s music doesn’t even register on the radar. It’s that far off.
My tagline is true.
True, and I would extend that from the mid century into the mid 80's.
Our local PBS just ran back to back segments on The Carpenters; how their hits came to be, and then a Christmas special.
It’s a fundraiser, but I ignore that and just enjoy the music.
Karen Carpenter was really something, and Richard so, SO talented. I wish someone could’ve saved her from herself.
‘A Star on Earth And Now A Star in Heaven.’
See my #21, which I wrote before reading your post and tagline.
We’re on the same page in the hymnal.
If you asked me about Karen Carpenter when I was a kid a would have laughed. That’s the ignorance of youth. She had perfect pitch, simply incredible and amazing. It took a little learning for me to appreciate that. It took two songs with auto tune to know the voice behind the electronics was utter garbage and untrained. Go thru the Top 50 on Spotify if you want to torture yourself. You will find maybe a song or two without auto tune. Absolute trash and no rigor.
