There have been many great female singers, but Karen was in a class all by herself, simply the best.

Wow, she was such an amazing talent! It's incredible how she could sing and control her breathing while also drumming. The difficulty of doing this is probably why you never see any other drummers doing it.

Agree Karen was incredible but Levon Helm and Willie Wilcox are just two drummer who sang their hearts out. And let's remember Burt Bacharach who wrote this and insisted about that piano ditty midsong. Karen's voice was otherworldly.

This is one of my most favorite songs EVER. I don't understand how could anyone dislike this perfect tune.

There is something deeply personal in the way she sings the song. That makes its so great. You get the feeling that she could be singing about her brother Richard. She wanted to be close to him but could not and also He was the driving force in the band. That is why all the birds in town follow you all around, just like me they long to be close to you.

Love seeing her playing drums! So rare now and especially then to see not only a woman playing drums but also lead vocals. I always loved seeing that!!

I am with all you that say I almost always cry when I hear Karen sing. I am 73 years old and she still affects me in this way. I am just a few months older than Karen would have been now. She is simply the best of all time. She seems to also have done this sone in one take. She was also so good live, never making any mistakes. She passed 40 years and 2 days ago. RIP Karen, I love you.

@@henryedwards4116 Basically it means that a person like Karen has or had an ear that allowed him/her to be in perfect tune with whatever song she was singing.. almost all of the people that had the pleasure to play with the Carpenters either on the road (live) or in the studio have been quoted... that they never heard Karen hit a sour note while singing. She was just that good. Karen was also known for being a stickler when it came to everything being "perfect" when the Carpenters were on tour. If a band member wasn't paying attention on stage and they hit a flat or sharp note.. Karen would wait for them back stage after the show... "What is wrong with you?" She'd ask.. "Richard and I count on you to put on the best show possible for our audiences. Those people are paying good money to come see our show! Being able to count on you is the least my brother and I ask!" Needless to say... while the pressure to be the best was always there... The Carpenter's have gone down in history as one of the best musical groups of all time.

@thegoose0m1

Having perfect pitch is more than just the ability to always sing in tune. It means being able to recognize the "pitch" of a note just from it's sound. For instance; person A plays a single note on the piano, person B, with his/her back turned or eyes closed says that's an A 440. Person B plays another note, person B, "that's a C two steps above". They can also hear a chord and identity it...."that's a A flat minor with a diminished 5th" and so on. Most good musicians have good "relative pitch"; if they hear a note that can sing or hum a 3rd or 5th above, but perfect pitch is relatively rare. I was unaware that Karen had perfect pitch but I'm certainly not surprised....

Karen Carpenter favored intimacy and emotional delivery more than using a voice that could display technical power and cutting through huge orchestras. Apparently that’s not what she wanted to do. Nonetheless, she did indeed possess the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard.

I danced with my father at my wedding reception to this song. I'm so thankful for The Carpenters. I can only hope that other people around my age (24) can appreciate such talent that Karen and Richard provided; along with all of the other wonderful people that worked on their music. Karen, you are deeply missed.

Great video. Karen was my first crush when I was 13 back in 1970. The purist, cleanest voice I've ever heard. Nobody does it better. Amazing!

Singing and playing drums has to be about the most physically demanding of all posts in a band. This woman truly had a gift. She could have held her own either as a drummer or singer, but did both so well.

Karen could navigate her way through the most complex of melodies with such ease and grace, melodies that would send some singers into fits of apoplexy! She was just brilliant!

Perfection

What a beauty, what a voice! She just wanted to be loved. She never found the right man, that would give her what she really needed. She didn't need fame, she needed real love.

I have tears in my eyes because of Karens anointed voice

start of a magical team

This just makes me cry. ---------------Summer of '70, I still have my 45 of this song. -------------I fell in love with that voice, & will love her forever. Karen was an angel among us, for far too brief a time. ---------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

So much of life was ahead for them when this was done-------it just breaks my heart, knowing what lay ahead. ----------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

My fav song from them and just the tinkling piano at the start gives me goosebumps let alone her beautiful, smooth melodic voice. Gone too soon xxx

Her voice just melts my heart...so beautiful and pure....RIP Karen.
