What was said about Karen's voice in terms of absolute clarity and enunciation was the same thing they said of Ella Fitzgerald back in the 30s/40s. Two of the greatest pure singers of their respective generations.

Auto tune is an effect, what you refer to is pitch correction.

@lancerayburn4652 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the knowledgeable info. I'd always heard that pianos and/ or orchestras were tuned (er, "corrected?") to Sarah Vaughan's perfect pitch. Another surprising voice said to have had perfect pitch was Ricky Nelson, of all people, which is why session musicians held him in such high esteem above his teen idol peers.

When I see Ella sitting down and killing it in her late '70's with Karen. I can't help but lament that we never got to see Karen interpret and deliver songs in her golden years. You are both sorely missed.😢

Oh, that's just your prejudice, which is fine and sweet that you love her so much. I would say that Julie Andrews and a singer you likely never heard of, Ofra Haza (listen to: Im Nin Alu and You've Got a Friend), have very clear voices... and many more. I think that Karen has a somewhat deep voice and that may have something to do with the appeal for you and why hear her voice as being so rich and clean... I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all, but there are other people with very clear voices. There were times when Whitney's voice rang like a well-crafted bell also. Donna Summer singing Someone Who Will Watch Over Me is very different from Karen's but it shows a different kind of magic that Karen didn't have. Another great voice - Dulce Pontes singing Cancao do Mar.

John Lennon once encountered Karen Carpenter in a restaurant and complimented her on her singing. KC reportedly told those she was with afterward, "he couldn't have meant that". I imagine KC arriving in Heaven in February 1983 and meeting Lennon again there (assuming Lennon "imagined" wrong, of course); Lennon looks at KC with an expression of mild reproof and says "I did mean it, you know, dear..."❤️

I think the thing that strikes me the most is that there is no competition between them. Individually, their styles are quite different - Karen's has a pop-style while Ella is quintessentially jazz. BUT when they sing the melody together they matched perfectly! That is very hard to do! Really excellent!
