This woman could really sing folks. Too bad she is no longer with us.

Perfect pitch never off key one of the 2 best pure voices the other...Nat King Cole...

What a voice...

Best rendition of this beautiful song. Karen's voice is unique.

I love the way she sings this. Very Cool, Soothing, Delicious!

absolutely brilliant as always from karen PITCH PERFECT

Thank you! Wonderful song and arrangement. Incomparable Karen Carpenter voice.

Happy Birthday dear Karen.! ♥

Very Nice......Me Likee A Lot!

Before this, I have only heard KD Lang's version (with Take 6 doing background vocals, and it is spectacular!), but, this here sounds so amazing! Loving the Carpenter's rendition:)

Thank you for blessing us with this crystal clear re-worked upload. You have done a fantastic job. The Carpenters were one of the greatest music groups of all time, in my little opinion. Their music was full of emphatic meaning and made with heartfelt love for their listeners that always came through with their combined accomplishments. Your impeccable taste is worth praising. Thank you, crcsoon

sublime

If only someone could blend Karen's version of this with that wonderful organ from Ruby's cut from 1963. What a complete killer that would be.

excellent...........

She emulated Julie Londons version of this song here in a long melody of sixties hits on this album but i think that the Carpenters should have completed the song in its entirety as song on its own. this song really suits her range.

Extraordinary Karen !

This is the greatest thing I've stumbled upon in HOURS! xoxoxo

love the piano the voice is instantly recognizable never heard the original but you did a great job.

WOW - OMG - THIS IS GREAT - THIS IS WONDERFUL - GOOD JOB - I LOVE IT

te extrañamos karen

Te extrañamos Karen :(

Great song and good job on the re-working. Thanks much! I woke up this morning wishing to hear a beautiful rendition of this song - one preferably sung by a female - I had no idea that the Carpenters had sung this song, so thank you for this.

BH many thanks for 'saving' this superb song from that DJ neanderthaler!!!

thanks for shareing...shes had a beautifull voice ...thankyou very much ..

Thank you for sharing this! You did a great job repackaging this.

That is a brilliant remix and makes the song much more enjoyable - thanks! That DJ voiceover may have worked back when the "Now and Then" album was released in 1973, but it seems irritating now.

Thank you for sharing. My aunt had the album "Now and Then" when I was very little, a toddler, and I remember their version of this song very, very fondly.

Best part of the medley, in my mind! Thank-you - such an awesome voice!

Great job , I really love this song and her cover with Richard's great arrangement. Plz do more from this Now and Then Album.....The end of the world......One fine day...A night with a thousand eyes.

Karen had a beautiful voice; sad we lost her so early in life. I think the quality is great--I do wear earbuds to listen and heard very, very little, if any problem with the upload--glad you got rid of the DJ and extended it--thank you--loved it!

beautiful, thanks

WOW BrightHaven, you've done a FANTASTIC job I LOVE IT!!!!! I know the original and it is too short and the DJ's voice etc.. I was so pleased to hear your version. Thank you.

Awesome Job! I was going to do this myself and thank the gods of the internet, you beat me to it and did it better than I could have. Bravo!

Wow! Great!

Thanks for posting. Sounds reat to me. Love Richards cool piono meldody in the background. Awesomely done. Cheers, Shari

Great job!!!!!! --I know the original version and have always regreted that it didn't sound this way....Thanks!!!!

Thanks BrightHaven!

Magical - excellent. How did you do this? I wish Richard would do this to all the little songs and make them full offerings. Like to 5 or 6 mini songs from the Make You Own Kind of Music show. Thank you for this and showing it can be done.

Great, the original was far too short- love Karen singing Johnny Angel too

@BrightHaven To keep the audio quality you need to upload in HD, you can use any video program, add that picture and soundtrack, as long as you encode as 1080x1920 the sound will stay HQ

Nice work BH - the deejay nonsense always bothered me on that record, esp this song, which has such a great melody. Karen Carpenter ... what a voice... kd lang once said it "was like chocolate" and that sounds about right to me... :-) Thanks! (btw the quality is perfectly fine)

Nice job , neat cutting !! 5 stars editing, I really love this version !!!!and sick of the short duration stupid DJ voice !

Nice version. Prefer the Frankie Valli cover of this song (due to the disco upbeat tone to it), but I love Karen Carpenter's voice. Shame she passed away too soon and too young. She would still headline Vegas and Branson if she would have lived.

Karen must have recorded the whole song. will we ever know ?

good job. thanks for removing that dreadful voice at the end.........' and we know that you'll always be digging those totally turned - on, top ten oldies....' whatever he says, it's awful. sound quality is fine........
