100 years from now people will still listen to her and be amazed.

Karen's beautiful voice on radio 📻 would grab my attention when i was a boy I'm 63yrs old , I still haven't heard beautiful voice that compares to Karen Carpenter's ❤

This lady was definitely a beautiful person inside and out. She sure had the voice of an angel and a very warm heart. It is so sad that she passed away at such a young age. I think that her music and memories will live on forever. She is dearly loved and sadly missed

the voice of an angel

The greatest female voice ever. Perfect. RIP.

Another good singer who left us too early

What a truly beautiful voice she had. I believe that God brought her music into my life as I too suffered from a deadly eating disorder. Because of her, I got the treatment I needed and my life saved. Thank you Karen...you still inspire me everyday!!!!!!!

One of the greatest songs ever!

Met Karen at our dentist office in Oct 1976! What a thrill i was so excited and nervous but enjoyed every second.....she was so sweet to me and kind to this 24 year old crazy fan!!! So pretty in person.....gorgeous A moment or two in time that i will remember the rest of my life: My 2 friends met Karen a few times while working at Gemco there in Downey and met the entire family!

One of their best songs ❤. I often wonder if this is an insight into her depression and eventual health problems. RIP my angel. 🙏🏼

It's been 30 years and I can still hear my mother singing this .

I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT! She is one of the best vocalists of all time! What a unique voice she left behind. So sad, her passing away so young. :(

Listening in 2024.

What a star the little girl is with a great voice.

Only 176K views in 17 years! Thats increible for this wonderful song.

I watched that movie about her life again. Just so sad. She was a big part of my childhood. :(

As an angsty teen, I would listen to this song over and over again. Loved it then, still love it. ❤

What a melodic voice Karen had. It portrayed hurt, hope, and resolution all at the same time. Doubtful we'll find thi sort of talent again any time soon.

their music lives forever! RIP karen.

grew up in san francisco, this song reflects the great time it was back in the day-mellow--more respect and love back then. california dreamin was still alive. all gone now. its sad-we all lose!

the voice if an angel..

This is so amazing oh my, She is a marvelous singer!

These were the days when singing talent really shone. No need for remixing with Karen Carpenter. What a glorious voice.

Today is Monday and its raining here in cali what a perfect song for a day like this , and yes She had the perfect voice and song choices miss her dearly

ＲＩＰ　Ｋｒｅｎ あなたの声は国境も言語の壁も越えて、今俺の耳元で聞こえています。 素晴らしい歌声有難う。

Another great masterpiece written by Paul Williams..

perfect pitch/ incomparable tone to her voice- she LITERALLY had a PERFECT voice !

Beautiful voice i love her ❤

Such an amazing voice karen passed away way to early.

Best voice ever i grew up with there music and loved it she was and still unbelievable goat loved her

What great phrasing. What a great voice. And it is so weird.. the poignancy in her voice, which always sounded genuine now comes through time as a direct connection to her heart.

what a beautiful voice karen had silky smoothe she was the best no one can compare to her always remember her beautiful songs shes one in 50 million thanks karen for voice

Love the Carpenters, they were so huge in the early 70's after my family moved back the the states :)

Lots of memories beautiful summers sharing life with friends and loved ones some no longer here indeed we may never pass this way again this tune brings me back to those days that have passed so precious times.❤

Truly Amazing :) I've seen this video I guess for the 30th time (seems to be addicted to it) but still listening to Karen's voice is never boring :)

She can make some of the most incredible sounds. It seems odd but close your eyes and listen to the word.. it's at about the 2:25 mark. Actually just close your eyes and listen to the whole thing. She was one of a kind.

What makes for a good voice? I know this voice is beautiful, I can’t quite explain why. The enunciation, the measured step; one by one. I don’t know, but her voice makes me happy.

The entire sound was perfect. Yes, she was the star of it, but he was as well in the studio. When the sax break comes in, it just pushes it up and she is every match for it with the vocal that cries out blues and blahs, really from the depths. An amazing artist - what a talent. Still one of my top ten concerts in the spring of 1974.

Every song of there's were amazing

I can never finish this song without tears rolling down my face

Incredible voice ... Never a missed or sour note, hits each one perfectly

Love her!

Beautiful

What a lovely voice I love how she sounds just wish we had her a little bit longer but what she left us is sweet voice god Bess you Karen RIP my friend never forgotten at least you have your parents up there keeping a eye on you lol

❤this music brings tears to my eyes 😢 love it

Looking at these comments it seems that the world is more divided than ever before . The only thing the left and right agree on is that Burt Bacharach’s music bridges the gulf between us, A great talented man

Beautifull voice 🎇❤🤗

太優美的女聲,彷如置身於世外桃園,和大自然😊

nostalgic but beautiful in the voice of an angel

Brilliant !

What a very beautiful woman ❤️

Perfection never to be heard again John who never tires of listening to such a TALENT

i love her voice! i miss her

Thanks for the post! We all miss you Karen!

Karen Carpenters voice is unmistakable - you. Always know its her. Its not something that griws on you or you learn to love. It is gorgeous abd thats that.

Perfect! 💖💖

Still wonderful xxx

I loved the Carpenters I grew up on them I have there cd and I still listen to ti and sing these songs. SHe had a very very pretty voice

Karen Carpenter is the best female vocalist in history!!!

She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Even so, you can tell she is uncomfortable. She was always so comfortable behind her drums. Richard was terrible for making her come out from behind them. I'm sure that played a part in her problems.

Ohhh the voice........

Perfect song for a day like today. Raining in Los Angeles (December 12, 2011).

this a nother great song from kearn and i always thought that this is a good and a beautiful song

いいね　やっぱりこの曲がいちばん好き！！！！

lisen to this song! just about love--not all the hype and music of today like lady gaga or whatever she is. music had substance then. now-trash goes to the top.

Her death always gets me down. But what a always beautiful voice. No need to have the lyrics written either, you can understand the words ;)

I am so sorry, maybe i did not lisening so well att the time , but after this sixteen, maybe it' s too late...but carol kings' s words... every lives

この人がハーモニカ吹いてだんだんなろほど😮‍💨

What I got they use to call the Blues.

Not to mention that she did not need to be almost naked to be able to sing like the angel she was.

great song..

Yes zacan, I agree. Our Muse has flown away

An Angel called home too soon💔

GOD BLESS KAREN CARPENTER! 🧡💙❤👏🙏👏🙏👏🙏

Wow! You are a real fan! :D

still getting chills everytime i hear/see this song, together with the story of karen (movie) it's just... And i'm anorexic since i was 8...I love karen!! (and my name is Karin)

Be yourself, relax and you'll fit in fine. Thing is, most people are just as nervous as you!

Velvet voice straight from God

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Did she take voice training or something? Did they do that with over dubbing? Or did she really sound like that? Like nothing ever heard. Almost doesn't seem possible.

I will meet you in Heaven!

為什麼上天,要帶走那位傑出的歌手呢！

I have no idea how old you are, but this is a seminal early 70's mix, done at Herb Alpert's A&M studios and considered one of Richard Carpenter's best

It is monday and it is raining,And i am feeling down):

its so sad she died of anirexa she asome

1:25 間違いなく、貴方は本物です。

a-men,bro!

👍U👍Are Wonderful 💝PAT👏Hahahaha 👏👏👏🤣😍.

what background singers do you hear?

Karen - Bittersweet.

a little dated, but great song and music

Funny

Are you HIGH??? This song came out in 1971... Lady Gaga's mother was still playing with Barbie's when this was recorded. *SMDH*

She died before Lady Gaga was born.

QUESTION? First of all I love The Carpenters. However after really listening to this song, It almost sounds like a love letter between Richard and Karen. Am I the only one?

For an "untrained" voice, she was perfect. What a shame anorexia took hold. You know, if you search the video's.. I believe the fashions of the day played a role... they looked "bulky" no matter what size you were. Karen fell victim to this, and "popular' opinion of what a woman should "look" like. What a shame and great tragedy. Not only did she leave her wonderful voice, but her struggles with anorexia, has surely helped countless people,, .. someone very close to me included. RIP Karen

Making things worse the song only reached number two on the charts.

too bad nasty porn ads come up when this song starts. Love Karen, puke and gag about garbage ads

The harmonica player resembles Frank Sinatra.

Timeless music unlike her prim and proper clothes!! Feel that these guys were too controlled by others and should have broken free to do their own stuff. God knows what they may have achieved.

She died of anorexia, I believe, right?
