Great song!! As I sit here in 2020 there is just to much hate and chaos in this country. Music is my escape and so thankful to all these wonderful songs!! I think Karen is looking down and knows now how much she is loved and missed💜💜💜💜

Karen Carpenter had what it took to make a outstanding singer💐💐, outstanding drummer💐💐🥁, and she had a good heart💐💐💛💛!! I just wish I could have met her when I was a Child and had gotten an autograph from Karen Carpenter on one of my🧸🧸 Teddy Bears, since she also collected Teddy Bears🧸🧸. I am sure that Karen Carpenter is now singing with the angels in Heaven🌈🙏🙏💛💛💛💛 !!

And she HAD IT!!

Truely missed, but her legacy continues to grow. Definately one of GODs children.

When you listen to Karens voice its a very spiritual experience! her voice is HEAVEN ITSELF! SIMPLY MAGICAL! Karen is the best female singer to have ever lived!

Oh yeahhhh. A really special spiritual experience, and the first time that i've made it i was only a 6 years old kid. It was immediatly Heaven on earth for me, LOVE that becomes a voice, and first of all a voice that made me know what LOVE is!

I'm with you ❤

You had what it takes, Karen! You are loved !!!!!

When John Davidson holds her in 2:37 you can see all of the hurt leave her. It's almost like he is saying goodbye.

Masterpiece , the Angle voice

Beautiful song, what a sweet voice she had, mellow, and velvety with clarity, no one else had one like hers. Nice montage of her dancing and playing the drums too!

This is one of my favorite songs. I love how Richard expertly layered all the sounds. Especially at the end when it's Karen and Richards' voices multi-tracked. It's truely a Carpenters song to the utmost degree. I love the positive message too.

oh carpenters............how can i forget you tell me? how can i? you are and will be always there in my mind. when i recall those good old memories i think of you and your beautiful evergreen voice with everlasting songs just came. i know those days have gone n life still goes on. i don't want to collect your songs. whenever i feel sometimes when i am into the blues, sometimes in this scorching reality, sometimes in rainy days....i just play and listen n remembering my past. your fragrance of voice reminds me of my adolescent days, lost faded memories, unsaid words. love you carpenters. love your songs. thanks youtube once again for bringing back memories......

Mi cancion favorita de la mejor cantante de todos los tiempos para siempre Karen Carpenter

This song is one of my favorites. I especially love the end when Karen and Richard do the multi overdubbing to turn themselves into something like 12 voices. :-)

Happy Times. The 80's were the best

I always loved Karen's shoulder length layered hairstyle! it was so classy and timeless! I love 70's hairstyles, women back then were most classy than they are nowadays! And Karen's voice is AMAZING as usual, I never heard this song of hers, but I liked it just like I like all of her other WONDERFUL song! :) LOVE YOU KAREN, the world still misses you, know that you are still loved, now and forever! :)

I loved all her hair styles except for the perm near the end. She is cut with bangs, with her hair up and the shoulder length like here. She is super cute in a baseball cap too.

Excellent song beautifully sung by gorgeous Karen.

One of their best song. And I love the lyrics!! This part is the best lyrics of all the songs they made. "The best part of being is being alive. You feel it."

This may be their finest work to date.

I've loved the song since the moment I heard it (in 1981) and I love the video treatment. Well done!

Just Beautiful!

Awesome voice

Never realized how versatile she was. I remembered hearing songs on radio and saw her a few times on TV as a child. Nice seeing her dancing and enjoying drums etc. plus pictures of her and Richard. Thank you for posting.

I miss the Carpenters.

Superb! Applause!!!

Once again Karen shines,does this lady ever miss the mark?Just read the book,;little girl blue,its amazing to think of how ill she was,and to still put out quality music,what a pro,what a voice,well done Karen and Rich!!

Amazing, she could sing, she could play drums and although being a tomboy originally man can she dance. Very impressive for a little girl that questioned her talent beyond baseball and skating. The more I learn about Karen the more I like her.

Thanks. This tune is great.

When You've Got What It Takes was a great song by the Carpenters. From The Lp "Made In America" (1981).

Just a beautiful lilting from made in america

Karen just ran in freaking high heels. If that isn't proof that she was more than the average human besides her beautiful voice, personality, and drumming abilities, then I don't know what is.

My favorite song off the Made in America project (besides I Believe You which was recorded a year before the album). One of the reasons is 3:05

I bet Richard is thinking in the back of his head,You guys better not drop my sister. With all of those lefts and turns they do with Karen in their dance number.

At least she wasn't very heavy, so the risk of dropping her would have been slim...

deberia hacer una pelicula sobre la vida de karen especialmente el episodio final de su padecimiento y su disputa con su hermano

经典啊

@Randall Richard never said they originated it, Carpenters embellished it and no one has duplicated their sound, if that was your inference.
