No one has ever sounded like Karen Carpenter ....her voice is irreplaceable. No one has ever tried to sing her songs because they could never match the song sound the same as Karen's voice did to a song. She was in her own league. Her angelic voice was silenced far too soon. I've been a fan of hers since my teenage years from 1973. 😊❤

The lyrics of Merry Christmas Darling were written in 1946 by 20 year-old Frank Pooler, who in 1966, was Director of Choral Studies at California State University, Long Beach, and two of his students were Karen and Richard Carpenter.. When they asked him if he had any ideas for holiday songs, he gave them the lyrics to the song and Richard wrote the melody in 15 minutes. In 1970 the song was recorded and released as a single, topping Billboard's Christmas singles chart, and again in 1971 and 1973. In 1978 a new version was recorded for the Carpenters' "Christmas Portrait" album.

Beautiful vocals provided by Karen, blended with a wonderful chorus of singers and a great collection of instruments. The sax a treat.

This was co-written by Karen's brother, Richard and this was released in the year that they debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, 1970. They only had two songs released when this came out (#2 debut single "We've Only Just Begun" & #1 smash hit "(They Long To Be) Close To You"). It hit #1 on the Billboard Holiday 100 Chart in it's debut year and has been a staple every since. I've always said that Karen had one of the most purest singing voices ever!

Richard Carpenter composed the music. Frank Pooler wrote the lyrics. Karen Carpenter once said: "'Merry Christmas Darling' I think, is a little extra special to both of us, because Richard wrote it, and the lyrics were written by Frank Pooler, the choral director at Long Beach State choir, where we went to school.
