Neroli8676, much thanks for uploading this gem of a video of Karen Carpenter. What a doll! What an Angel! Rich and famous, yet she was always quiet and unassuming in person. Never "stuck up", always just "the girl next door". It takes a special kind of person to not let fame and fortune go to their head. Band members said that Karen was the kind of person who would stop and talk to the janitor of the facility they were performing in. Love Karen and miss her.

Lynn, that was one of her big ambitions -- to star in a musical film. Unfortunately, Karen passed away on February 4th, 1983, of complications from anorexia nervosa -- before she could fulfill that dream of hers.

Has anyone anywhere seen or heard more astute proficiency in their performance as professional musical artists that they’re not only are they giving you their very best....making it look effortless, and look and appear focused, studied, concentrating on the moment.....and having a blast of fun at the same time. They’re giving us grand entertainment, enjoying themselves....they’re having fun, we’re having fun watching and experiencing them go hog wild..... I’m mean... it really doesn’t get any better than that. They don’t make music or entrainment like this anymore folks. I’m trying not to cry. We all miss our girl Karen, God rest her lovely soul. Bless you whoever you are out there in KZfaqLand!!

Very well said! Karen always looked like she was concentrating on the moment.It was like she was living it or reminiscing about it right in front of our eyes and ears.Yes she was very focused.That's what I loved about her so much that she cared so much to be so focused always! I can't imagine how draining it must have been for her to stay in every moment.I love her speaking and singing voice along with her drumming, bass guitar, great dancing and comedy but her warm and friendly personality along with her expression of emotion will always make me have an admiration for her that is off the charts!

i'm like on the fence with this comment...i agree, this totally wasn't Karen at all, it's waaayyy too old school for her (especially if you listen to her solo album and unreleased material, i.e. 'Love Makin' Love to You') but her singing (and dancing in this video!) is absolutely amazing. i wish i could've met her, she seemed like she would have been a fun person to be around
@mstrunn8 жыл бұрын
+mosesMaimon1 Not typical? So what, why does she have to be stereotyped? She was branching out, trying new things, she took dance lessons and became very good at it like everything else she did, she wouldn't settle for anything less, she was very versatile, and an extremely talented musician.
@fool4singing6 жыл бұрын
She really wanted to branch out and do other things, and grow as an artist. By this time (1980) she was ten years into her career, and had gained a lot of confidence, and wanted to show it off. From what she said in later interviews, she really wanted to get into musicals, and this was probably crafted to let producers of that genre to see what she was capable of. I think it's a great number!
@drogersnm6 жыл бұрын
I think it's GREAT! I love those 1930's and 1940's songs by Richard Rodgers and other similar composers. Karen does a fantastic job on it. But, no offense to you -- to each, his own. I'm probably a lot older than you.
