Unfortunately, the record label and her brother Richard forced her to come out from behind the drums in later years because they felt that she needed to be seen as the female lead singer of the group. She was so uncomfortable at the front of the stage and it contributed to her self doubt and poor self image (combined with a plethora of other things like the pressure to maintain a certain unhealthy weight, rumours of an incestuous relationship between her and her brother, not to mention constant putdowns from her mother, and her brother being the golden child, etc.). Poor Karen dealt with a lot of demons throughout her life and it's so tragic what happened to her. Like many artists, the world just chewed her up and spit her back out.

Same age here. Growing up in Texas in the early 70's her voice was so different than anything I'd ever heard before.

When your body eventually gives up, your spirit, your soul will come to the fore, you will go towards the light and you will hear Karen Carpenter's voice giving you comfort, peace and love.

This song brings me back to the 70s when I was just a young boy. All of my sisters and I were still living at home with my mom and dad. My dad worked in a refinery and my mom was a housewife. Dinner was always ready at 4:30pm. We’d watch “I Love Lucy” reruns on our small TV while we ate. Everyone I loved and cared about was still alive and healthy. Now, so many of the people in my life that meant so very much to me are gone. How I wish I could go back in time...but when I hear great music like this, I close my eyes, and all of those wonderful memories come rushing back into my mind.

02/04/83 - 02/04/24 on the 41st anniversary of Karen Anne Carpenters untimely passing. Shes one of the few singers i deeply love, i was born in 1997 way beyond my time but my soulmate sent me this song & it took my breath away & sent chills down my spine. One of my favourites her silky sounding voice shines.Others I've enjoyed arev we've only just begun, merry Christmas darling superstar, top of the world Karen & Richard you're an irreplaceable duo in music history. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎💖💗 Thank you God for lending us Karen just enough to have her voice in our lives.

I....myself say with pride and love shes a voice that you'll never.hear anything like hers and the sadness that the music industry manupulated musicians into thinking they were ugly, unattractive and nobody was interested in looking at a wonderful singer who wasnt skinny.

Brings tears to my eyes, so beautiful, so talented, so fragile. A flower that bloomed and died too soon.

She's been well 20 years and we have all healed from the experience, it's so emotional and that is how her music makes you feel!

@YHANA121607

Me. I started liking her songs when I was in 2nd grade. Now I'm 42 and she's still my first favorite female artist 💖

I've drummed for 40 years and still can't comprehend how someone can sing and drum at the same time. Singing melody and keeping time with drums occupy 2 completely different realms in a song. She was incredibly beautifully talented.

I am. In the 70's I was a child growing up in an abusive family. I heard her voice on the radio all the time , but had yet to find out why I felt her so deeply. I was sad, and I felt her words. The harmonies brought me comfort. Her passing was deeply hurtful. She didn't have to die. In therapy circles we know so much more about what affects deeply neglected, and abused children that grow up to be self-destructive dysfunctional adults that simply need to heal those badly damaged parts. They even come with beautiful faces, phenomenal talents, and angelic voices. She made my journey so much more bearable. Thank you Karen.

Best voice ever? Yes, the best voice ever.

Child of the 70's, loved Skynard, Zeppelin, Nugent, Thin Lizzie, and the Carpenters. I only hid one of my loves. Sorry Karen, I should have been screaming about your talent to my football bros. I tried to make up for it by preaching to my children about your brilliance. Rock and roll is about primal emotion, rhythm, and soul. You had every one of these in spades. You were a badass drummer and the epitome of rock! Goddamn Karen, I wish someone could have convinced you of what you contributed to the beauty of this world and saved you from what you saw in the mirror. I hope that even the hopeless understand that there are people who love them and that one scintilla of humanity is divine and should be cultivated. RIP Karen.
