She was also a hell of a drummer:
Very sad story. May the good Karen RIP.
Their show was so frikkin’ stupid. Back then everyone I knew thought it was totally “kiss ass”. I did too although I liked some of her songs because she did have a great voice and perfect delivery. We were into the heavier rock music of the day. Carpenters were practically music for those that liked Jack Jones type stuff.
My Mom may have liked their show though.
