Her voice was the only female's voice that gives me goosebumps every single time I hear her sing.

Karen Carpenter has one of the best voices ever recorded.

It makes me happy to see young people enjoying "our" music. Karen had the most lovely alto voice. Pretty good drummer too.

This is one of the best female vocalists ever. Conjures up emotions every time I hear her.

No autotune, no pitch correction. One of the best singers ever! Your generation has been cheated so badly with garbage music. She doubled her harmonies and did ALL the parts with her brother Richard. I was so happy to stumble across your channel and see your reaction.

Back in the 70's, there were 2 type of men in the US. Those that fell in love with Karen's voice the very first time they heard her, and those that hadn't heard her yet.

She was and still is considered one of the best vocalists of the latter half of the 20th century. Nobody could put so much emotion into a song as she could.

Karen was born in New Haven CT, moved to Downey, California at 13 years old. Died at 32 years old from anorexia. One of the greatest singers of all time.

It's nice seeing younger generation appreciating older music

Karen's voice is iconic. The most pure beautiful tone in human history. There are no words to fully articulate her tone. It's otherworldly.

Man, listening since 1971 and I STILL cry when I hear her sing...and their music overall. They were simply phenomenal. I honestly think no one else could ever come close to their sound. Today's music is s**t compared to what they did in the 70s.

Don't know about others but I just can't listen to The Carpenters without tears in my eyes... Knowing their history, listening to their voice, their harmony, their evergreen songs just touched me everytime...

Embarrassed...I am a 55 year old male, and this song still brings a tear. It is an incredible song alone, but when Karen sings it, it become ethereal!

Considered to be one of the greatest voices in singing history.

Karen has the voice of an angel, velvety and smooth as silk, still listen to her

That was Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard. They grew up in California, a place called Downey. I loved (and still love) Carpenters music. Hard to believe that song came out nearly 50 years ago! They have a lot of really nice songs, many of them hits in their day. Good on you for giving them a listen!

No one but no one had a voice like Karen Carpenter. No one has ever come close. Not only was her voice unique but she could convey emotion that just reached into you soul. And why? Because she understood pain and loneliness because unbeknownst to the world, she was in pain and lonely. Another tragic story unfolds regarding her but her voice soars regardless every time it's played. Thank you for choosing it. Another classic of theirs is Goodbye To Love. 👍

Everybody today wants to hit to he high note. So much power in the low notes. Love her ❤️

Best female voice EVER!

I am loving it that a new generation is getting hip to this, good music is timeless and crosses all the things that make us different.

Karen's voice was like liquid gold. One of the best voices of our time.

I grew up listening to the Carpenters, and to see these adorable young men really listen and appreciate 70's music is incredible! Thank you. Looking forward to watching more of you.❤

Richard and Karen Carpenter were sister and brother -- the band was called The Carpenters. They were born in Connecticut, but moved to Southern California fairly young and lived about 15 minutes away from where I grew up in Westminster, California (still live here). Karen was about a decade older than me, but when she died so young, right here in the area I live in, my heart was broken. It still is every time I listen to her angelic voice. Without the celebrity status she achieved she never would have become anorexic and would probably still be with us today, but then we would have been denied her incredible talent. I guess we should at least just be happy that we are blessed to have all of the wonderful recordings she made. Such a sad story.

I love to see people when they hear her voice for the first time. She was amazing!

I was 15 years old in the summer of 1982 when I had a chance encounter with Karen. I stepped in line behind her at a local pharmacy on the coast of Maine. It's a common summer getaway for some celebrities so not surprising she was there, but she was sooo skinny and frail. She had a nice outfit on, like she was going sailing. I was pretty shook when she turned and looked at me, I'm sure my face said it all. She left quickly and the girl behind the counter and I just kinda looked at each other in disbelief. Haunts me to this day every time I here the Carpenters. I wasn't surprised when she passed away a few months later, sad and tragic end to one of the greatest talents of the 70's.

I’m 39 and I’ve never heard of the carpenters before until now. Someone on Facebook put a picture of Karen saying that she had the best voice ever. So I looked her up found out she passed away when I was 2. I played one of their songs called “they long to be close to you”. I listen to it And thought, damn this song is so pretty, it makes you want to cry and smile all at the same time. I bought some of their music plus I’m reading a book called little girl blue. Her voice was so beautiful I just love it.

Karen Carpenter was and is still a legend. She used her voice like nobody has ever done in my opinion.

I remember like it was yesterday watching this on tv. Karen had the most beautiful voice ever and such a loving heart. Gone much to soon. 😢

Karen Carpenter and her brother were very popular during the 70s. There is a documentary about them. Every song they sang was beautiful and pure and they made many. Karen unfortunately passed away but her voice was so unique that everyone who knows of them can distinguish her voice from anyone elses. Nothing fake added to the music or to enhance their voices. Pure talent. Just beautiful music.❤️

So sad she left us too early with the voice of an angel

The Carpenters are brother and sister and they wrote their songs. They are American. She sadly passed away when she was 32 in 1983. Fantastic singers and she is sadly missed. London

The sad part was she never thought she was good enough, even when John Lennon told her she had a fabulous voice.

She fills the heart with love and tenderness. Love, Light, and happiness.

Her voice is simply heavenly. Loved her a lot!

When Karen died the angels cried out HERE COMES OUR LEAD SINGER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This kind of music is what little kids should be brought up on.

I am amazed this generation is discovering real music It's a time, ...love came before money

Best female singer - voice of an angel! Taken way to soon, but we have her beautiful songs to listen to that are timeless ❤️

KAREN CARPENTER THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL

Karen played drums too! This was the 1970’s, so she was progressive. RIP KAREN! We loved your music.

No autotune...no computer effects...no backtracking...just KAREN

They were brother and sister. They were from New Haven Ct, She died in 1983 from anorexia. Her issues with her weight started with a critic who publicly said that she was fat. Lesson words can kill.She was only 32 when she died. The world lost a huge talent. So glad to see you young guys learning what we all knew of her. She was 1 of a kind

"So much of life ahead..." So bittersweet...so tragic. Rest in peace, Karen.

Karen had one of the sweetest lyric mezzo soprano voices. Her brother was a magician with harmonics and orchastration and he was a exceptional composer.

I miss her voice. I miss her. Her passing was so tragic and heartbreaking.

I cried the day I heard Karen had died. This was absolutely one of my favorite music groups while growing up. 💙💜💚❤

Lads it will be the saddest story you ever read, Karen was a legend with issues... Listen to rainy days and Mondays.

I wonder how many viewers of this video were alive in October of 1970 when this song reached #1.

Poor Karen. She was wonderful. Thank you for this I haven't heard this song in ages.

When I listen to the harmony of Richard and Karen Carpenter I get the sense of flying. There is none better. RIP Karen. ❤

Karen is considered one of the best female singers of the 20th century. This song came out in 1970. Check out her singing "Superstar." Beautiful

Simply the best female singer I've ever heard

Richard and Karen Carpenter were brother and sister. She played the drums in the group. And of course her voice! Wow.

An historic moment of enlightenment! Hearing for the first time possibly one of the greatest voices ever recorded... RIP Karen Carpenter ... A Star on Earth, A Star in Heaven! 🌟

Karen Carpenter had a rare female voice range. She was a Contralto. She could sing in a lower register. If you listen you hear the male vocals singing higher than she is. There’s something special about Contraltos and Contratenors

Unfortunately, Karen passed away from complications due to anorexia in 1983. They were a fantastic brother sister duo who I was fortunate to grow up hearing.

I love this. I felt like I was listening to it for the first time. I forgot to appreciate this song.

Karen was also a very accomplished drummer as well

Lads, This was before MTV and videos, When you needed to sell 1,000,000 copies of a single to get to No1, You had to have REAL talent back then, It wasn't just Karen Carpenter, They were called The Carpenters, Karen and her brother Richard whote wrote and arranged most of their songs, A talented duo that today's artists could never reach

We are watching two beautiful open minded gentlemen discovering places in their hearts they didn't know existed

Karen had a flawless voice. It was a shame she lost her battle at age 32 to anorexia nervosa. Thank goodness for recordings. Her brother, Richard, is the music organizer and pianist and he's still living but doesn't perform publicly anymore. Karen passed away in Feb. of 1983. Great loss to the music industry. She was on the road to recovery and was at her parents home in Downey, Ca. getting ready to go shopping when she collapsed in her closet. EMTs worked with her but couldn't bring her back. She succumbed to cardiac arrest. A huge loss. Anorexia was not common then and she hid hers well. She was NEVER overweight but in her mind, she was. She had gained about 15lbs. since she had been working on recovery from her disease but her heart had gotten use to her frail, very tiny body and just couldn't handle the stress of it all and it tired out. Very sad tragedy. Her brother is standing beside her as she is singing in this video. He is a masterful music composer, songwriter and arranger.

They need subtitles, but you can see theyre touched by her exquisite voice.

Loved the reaction from these guys. Karen had the voice of an angel.

She had one of the most beautiful voices ever. The harmony vocals are amazing in this song as well.

I'm starting to think music can bring the world together in a good way!

That was sung at my wedding. Thanks for the reaction!❤❤❤👰

So nice to see young folks appreciate the oldies and simplicity of it

I love that you both love this!! I was a child when the The Carpenters were huge! I’m literally getting the chills listening to Karen’s velvet voice!! What breaks my heart is that no one at that time knew she was too thin & anorexia wasn’t a thing. Just as it was being realized, it was too late for Karen. 💔 Listen to “Close To You,” it’s my favorite of theirs. “The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo of siblings consisting of Karen Carpenter (1950-1983) & Richard Carpenter.” Genre: Pop & Soft Rock Years active; 1969-1983 Origin; Downey, California

Died young. Now teaching the angels how to sing.

It gives this old lady so much hope for the future watching you guys reacting too these songs and how you react. ❤❤

One of the greatest voices of all time, power and clarity, full of emotion. She was also an excellent drummer.

The most hauntingly beautiful voice EVER. Only Amy Lee comes close in terms of haunting vocals. Richard Carpenter's arrangements are some of the best ever, too!

Grew up with the carpenters music her voice was like silk . So glad you’re discovering her . Sorely missed . Her brother Richard was the first to use all instrumentals and voices of the two of them . Began a phenomenal new type of mixing for a duo . Sheer magic . RIP Karen sorely missed died from heart failure due to anexoria bulimia . See was the first famous person to raise awareness of this disease . 🌸

One of the best female singers of the 20th century in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

She has the voice of a haunted angel especially when you know her life story. She never even wanted to be the singer. She wanted to be the drummer.

I was 10 years old when this song came out, I bought the record for 97 cents and played it continually! The Carpenters one of my favorite I grew up on! Love it!

MONSTER HARMONY! I remember when this song came out in the 70's. You could not go anywhere without hearing it playing. She & her brother (the Carpenters) had a big list of hits.

The Carpenters were a brother and sister duo, that had a lot of hits all through the 1970's. They are from Downey California. Karen and her brother Richard played music together thru their childhood and eventually formed a band and started playing gigs through out California. Karen was originally the drummer for the group, while Richard stayed on keybooards. This was their first #1 hit. They had alot of hit albums and songs through out the 1970's. Sadly Karen passed away at 33 years old from complications of anorexia nervosa. Her heart gave out. But her voice is one of the all time greatest singing voices of all time.

I have no idea what you guys are saying but i think it’s very cute to see two young grown men listening to the carpenters and enjoying the song.

Brings tears to my eyes just remembering her.

Lesson Nº1: Simple mortals should not speak when Karen is singing.

Before autotune. When music was a talent and not manufactured.

Yo, so I'm an 80's kid listening to Duran Duran, Run DMC and bands that were lots of flash. I LOVE The Carpenters and I wondered if young people could appreciate their music, thats what brought me here. Dude, you guys really made me appreciate young people. It's not all just mush mouthed wrappers with face tattoos and soundcloud artists. AND I love hearing the Liverpool accent! Mad respect from L.A.

I really appreciate the fact that you appreciate this music. You are generous men of good taste.

Brother on the Right Got Hit HARD. Brother on the Left just likes the music. Brother on the Right Has Been Touched for Good. He'll see things differently now, Karen Carpenter transforms music and transforms the listeners. it's All Joy.

Tears as I watch these guys react. Thank you brothers for acknowledging a wonder.

Perfect diction, velvet voice. And Richard was so young when he arranged all their songs. He was a genius !

She Was An Amazing Singer and Drummer But She Left Us Too Soon She Was Only 32 when she Died Rest In Peace Karen

Her voice had that thing. That thing that could just carry you away. Such a loss!

I would imagine God asks Karen sing to him every day !!!!

Brother and sister.She died at 32 from anorexia.Broke all of our hearts.Try their songs Superstar and Close to You.She had a great high voice and low voice.

If silk could sing, it would sound like Karen. I've heard some beautiful female voices, but none like hers.

That kind of music must be taught in all schools in the world ... so they will know the difference between those yesrs and actual ... The Carpenters were pure gold!!!

This song was written by Paul Williams and was used in a wedding-themed advert for Crocker National Bank in 1970, with Williams singing. The song played over footage of a young couple getting married and just starting out together. Crocker National's business flourished thanks to the ad. The Carpenters took it and turned it into a big hit

They made it to the top when hard rock was the thing. They (Richard and Karen Carpenter who were brother and sister) were the first to make the "Multi-Harmony Overdoubing" sound famous. That is the sound like there are many people singing, but it is all just Karen and Richard. Just recorded many times, and many notes. They also were the ones to make a power- balid big. , when they put the electric Guitar in the love song "Goodbye to love" BTW- Karen though of herself as a drummer who could sing. She thought of herself as a drummer first. And many don't know that she was on her way to recovery from Anorexia, when she passed. She did use syrup of ipecac during that time, but the way they re-feed her back then, was too much for her heart. Now they re-fed using a soft diet, to keep the body to stop "refeeding syndrome" from taking place . Which is fairly new, when it comes to treating the (Physical) issues of Anorexia. Actually, even when I was in treatment in for my anorexia, in the late 80's and early 90's, they were still not using this kind of re-feeding. Plus, they put a feeding tube directly into hear heart which actually punctured her lungs. it was very dangerous for her. Plus, she was still married to Tom Burris . and was going to sign the divorce papers later the day she passed. BTW- he was a jerk! He took all of her money and lied to her about having money, being self sufficient, and even lied to her about wanting children, and not having a vasectomy. He treated her like shit!!!! She deserved someone so much better! She was so loved, and so missed!!!!

Now picture yourself a young teenager listening to these incredible artists, it was crazy good. Oh and it was the 70's fellas

Everyone who got married in the early 70s, had this song as their first dance.

I feel so lucky that I grew up in the 70s. The music back then was so pure and fresh. You should check out Superstar by them. Nice reaction, guys.

Epic reaction! Karen was one of the most beautiful vocalists. Gone way too soon.
