"Sorry people of Earth, but I need this voice in Heaven". -God

It is just so sad she's gone. Never another voice like hers.

Karen Carpenter's voice is one of a kind. Everytime I listen to this my tears just overflow

Her voice remains a national treasure.

Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices in music history.

2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 , 2024 and this song is still on top of the world

The most beautiful female voice ever! Period! End of discussion!

Truly a heavenly voice. We are blessed to hear it.

Now..she's on top of the world. Looking down on creation. :)

Her voice is like a warm hug!

Her voice is so soft it's like silk. One of the greatest in music history. RIP Karen

Reminds me of my childhood days....One of my dad's favorite songs

What a lovely voice Karen has.

Her voice was perfection. So clear, so emotionally powerful and so captivating. A shame she died so young. :(

I harken back to 1973 at the Fantasia Skating rink in Sacramento California when it was time for the "ladies choice" segment of the program - this song was playing and the lovely young lady who skated along the edge searching for a partner chose me. My heart was thumping and my palms were sweaty but we managed to make it through to the end of the song. I never saw her again but this song still brings goosebumps. Thank you and god bless, wherever you are

Think about this. No 50 dancers, no 300 lights, no ridiculous costume changes, no jumbo tron tv's, Just Pure talent!! Karen has the greatest female voice Ever! No one is even close, No One!

Shes got the most pleasant voice. So nice

I wasn’t even born when this song was released, but for some reason I feel really nostalgic every time I hear this song... 🤔

Such a lovely and natural voice and her breath control was amazing...like a beautiful wind instrument... Miss her but glad there's YT.

If you start smiling and shaking your head side to side when it begins drop a like . This is the happiest song ever

I can't believe she was only 23 here!!! she had a voice and soul that was beyond her earthly years

The most gifted female singer ever...

I heard this song for the first time in Gail's voice, and since that day, I told myself that I will never stop loving her, one day I will see her again, love you, god blees you

R.I.P. Karen Carpenter (1950-1983)

Such a feelin's comin' over me There is wonder in 'most every thing I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now comin' true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Somethin' in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world

Damn, what a beautiful masterpiece.......................tears when i hear that Angelic Voice.

Karen Carpenter: better female voice ever, listen to her is like an angel singing

Karen Carpenter - Arguably the best female voice in the history of music.

I’m ashamed to admit - but I lived through this time and never appreciated what I had - until I lost it. RIP Karen.

Commenters : 91% This a beatiful voice and music 7% Dark Shadows 1% Shrek 4

I fell in love with this song in the 1990s. The carpenters were just before my time, but remember hearing them on radio. Karen has one of the best singing voices I have ever heard.

Such a wonderful woman. Such a positive voice. Would have never expected her life to change like that.

As a little boy in the early 70's, I had a huge crush on Karen Carpenter. In 2020, I still do. Hope to run into her on the other side.

Rest In Peace, Karen :( A beautiful voice I wish existed in my lifetime.

This song, this performance, the setting, the carpenters! Quickest way to a happy mood ever, it's ADDICTING 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I've been deeply depressed for a while and never found a reason to smile. I heard this song and I can't help but smile. If only Karen knew how many she's touched. Rest In Peace.

She had the voice of an Angel. There will never be another Karen Carpenter.

Dark Shadows brought me here. A song I had forgotten from my childhood. Wow what a beautiful voice. RIP Karen

I’m a Japanese girl and They are my mom’s favorite and I’ve been listening and singing their songs since I was like 5 or 6. I didn’t know English back in time :) these were my first English songs I listened. Now I’m 18 and learning English for 6years. I think it’s because I’ve been in love with English songs since I first heard Carpenters’ songs. I entered a high school which has an English course and I met a friend who love Carpenters there! Sometimes life can be hard, my mom had diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease that can’t be recovered. And I’ve diagnosed with a lupus which can’t be recovered too. but somehow, listening to their songs makes me think life is still great and there’re more fun things waiting for me ;)

It is sad that she could not see how beautiful she was. A loss indeed.

This is the song that i sang with my mom few hours before she died 3 years ago this thursday, now i listen to this all the time to remember her and i cry for hours.

Never listened to such a beautiful song in my life, RIP Karen.

R.I.P. dear Karen. Have a good life in heaven. "Top Of The World"- what a great song- so "wunderbar" !!! Simply timeless and absolutely brilliant !! Like so many other songs from the Carpenters! Unforgettable. I´m now 59,all my life I listen Joan Baez-Folk, Classic Music like Beethoven,Vivaldi or Bach, West Coast-New Age from Narada or Windham Hill like Will Ackerman, Stones, Dylan, Led Zeppelin Deep Purple in Rock or Chet Baker, EST, Dave Holland in Jazz..and much more ! But in the 70´s.... Abba, TheCarpenters or J.Cash orJohn Denver (f.e.)are also part of my live and favorites in music!!! Greetings from Germany B.L.

i was born april 12 2005 and i regret being born late to see this angel sing but im grateful to be born just in time to hear her beautiful voice

I *still* fail to understand *how* anyone can dislike this. I mean, Karen and Richard were an amazing team!

Nobody, nobody will ever have a more magnificent voice than her. Upon, hearing her sing, it gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. It also hurts to know that Karen could very well still be alive even to this day.

Karen Carpenter was a shining jewel that the world was so fortunate to have been able to enjoy the God given talents that she so graciously & selflessly gave. Time nor death will never tarnish that shine. RIP Karen Carpenter

Classic music like this will never die.

The male Singer simply delivers the most perfect 2nd voice, I'm in love with the way they harmonize!!

You can’t hear this song enough, and fall in love with it. The serene effects. The radiated joy it produces. From the era music was sane...

This was the guiding force for we kids as we were growing up in the 70s. As I gained maturity this song still kept me going through all the tough times and kept my faith in goodness.

This puts a huge smile on my face, remembering being a kid in the 70s, lots of good times and memories flood in.

2019 still hear this song.. the best voice👍

This song gives me hope and postive vibes. No corona, No hate, No racisme, Just peace and love...

This came out the year I was born. I was 3 months old. It was all around me then and always in my life....I listen to it again today...48 years later and I'm covered in goosebumps and I remember every word still

Im 28 yrs old. Though im not in her generation but i found her voice is so lovely. No wonder she is dubbed as one of the greatest vocals of all time in music industry.

Such a feelin's comin' over me There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream Everything I want the world to be Is now comin' true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world Somethin' in the wind has learned my name And it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world

Hers, such a heavenly voice. It's so sad that she got sick and passed so prematurely. It should teach people to never make derogatory comments about someone else, especially someone else's looks! I hope she's never forgotten

Even to this day my father loves this song,he would sometimes keep the radio for himself for listening to the song,beautiful song indeed. 😊

Forgot how great this song is. Thanks After Life.

There are so many styles happening in this song.... I think I even hear a harp at one point. Really really groovy tune.... masterfully produced. The smiles on their faces seem totally real.

There is nothing in this video that is not deliciously lovable: her magnificent voice, the stage presence of the two brothers, the sweetness that erradicates so naturally from her❤

this song is truly one of the best cures for life !

A song that can never get old

The lyrics are so beautiful and Karen had such a lovely voice.

Karen was pure gold..she was perfect with her music...it's always made me feel good inside..sure miss her...r.i.p. Karen carpenter!;

Barnabas Collins brought this exquisite piece to my attention.

Dark shadows brought me here....love that movie.

I was born in 73 when this song was released. I remember this song when my parents played the radio. Very special memories. ❤️

"What sorcery is this? Reveal yourself tiny songstress!"

This song puts me in a good mood :)

November 2019, who’s here still listening to this masterpiece ?

Such a beautiful person she was, inside and out. This brings tears everytime I see it.

This song and her voice always makes me teary and tingly at the same time . The voice of an angel just a shame she passed so young .

mi Dios !!! no se puede creer la perfección de la voz de Karen , van pasando los años y no aparece otra como ella, espero que este donde este siga cantando par los ángeles del cielo maravillosa!!

- Shrek - Friends - Dark Shadows

Their second #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from early 1973. It was playing when I was shopping at the supermarket yesterday! I have my Carpenters shirt, and I just received "The Carpenters - The Musical Legacy" about 400 page book earlier this week!

I listened to this over and over again in the first weeks after my beautiful little boy was born ❤️

my mom's favorite song.

This lady has without doubt the greatest female voice its beautiful

I’ve been listening to it since It came out and I’m 50 years old and I’m not tired of it yet and this is one song I don’t think anybody is tired of it and it sooths my dog to sleep every night

Her low notes are lovely, rich and deep. Rest in Peace to someone we lost way too soon.

My dad brought me to here, he likes this song so much. Now I fell in love with this song, and her voice. One of the best I've ever heard. 😍

Woke up with a tune i was humming totally confused, so i quickly gogled it and it lead me to this song. I'm confused and in aww, this women has an amazing voice and an amazing song to wake up to

I found this song today and I can't stop listening to it... It is simply beautiful. I can't believe I didn't hear this song before.

Her voice is pure magic. I can fall for her voice for eternity.

“This is the part where you run away!” She had the voice of an Angel. There will never be another Karen Carpenter. Dark Shadows staring Johnny Depp brought me here

This just may be the greatest "feel good" song that I have ever heard!

Her diction is mind blowing. Anyone learning English would be blessed to know this song.

“Something in the wind has learned my name.” Another great lyric still rolling around in my head for 45 yrs

She was an angel on earth, now she‘s an angel in heaven. And everyone is listening to her. Greetings from 🇩🇪. RIP Karen

Im 90's kid with memories of my parents playing carpenters on casette, this takes me back 😭

All they needed was a little brother. 😇 thanks Sis. 🙂 that photo of us together really changed my heart.

She really seem to be loving her brother. There was an innocent playfulness in her , too bad her closest ones didn't understand this wonderful, gifted child.

I used to hate it when my Mom would play old songs when I was a kid: She loves The Carpenters, Beatles, BeeGees.. Now I’m the one playing, listening to these classics.

Never appreciated them back in the day but with age comes wisdom. She has a near perfect singing voice

This song was played on radio and TV shows so many times when I was a kid it's imprinted on my memory like the grooves on an LP. It's only on listening to it now that I can appreciate her tremendous talent. It's such s shame that her life was cut short as it was. It seems that there's always a price to pay for great talent.

Music like this will always be on top of the world can never get old

she comforted us by her divine voice . Best female vocalist.. Period... Dark Shadows staring Johnny Depp brought me here

This video is how I like to remember Karen, at her peak and although she is lip synching to her incomparable voice, she is so full of life, always smiling, playful and beautiful.
