Their songs may feel outdated these days, but Karen Carpenter's voice will never fail you. There have been many great female vocalists in pop over the decades, but every time I stumble across a song by The Carpenters it convices me there never has been a more beautiful voice than Karen's.

You just entered greatness

This is a classic pop tune. Also, Karen Carpenter played the drums on this song. The musical instrument is called a tambourine.

She was an excellent drummer but Hal Blaine played drums on this and most of their songs.

Brother and sister act. She's the singer and drummer, he arranges the songs, plays piano, and sings backup. They were the most popular group of the 70s. She died at age 32 from an eating disorder.

she was the on stage drummer except for when she was standing up front singing on the ballads, but most of the drumming for their recordings was done by others such as Hal Blaine. They say that here drumming style was more suited to the stage than the studio.

She was an accomplished drummer as well. She had a very sad story.....

Not green screen as that wasn't invented until 20+ years later. No autotuning then either she had one of the greatest voices of the time.

Absolutely any song by the Carpenters is going to have amazing vocals. What a voice Karen had.

Why is the girl eating? She couldn’t save that for later?

You two are hilarious to watch. He spouts out endless irrelevant thoughts and she fills in the blanks for him 🤣👍

THIS WAS A REAL BANK COMMERCIAL TRUE STOY

A once in a lifetime voice. Taken from us way too soon. And, one hell of a drummer.

How about not eating while you do this?

Another classic by them is Rainy days and mondays

Please finish your lunch before you do another reaction. Thanks!

Back in the day when you had to have talent and an incredible voice to make it. Miss those days

Her voice is captivating

The song was written by Paul Williams (played in the movie Smokey & The Bandit as Little Enos). The song was originally written for a TV commercial for a bank, about a young married couple just starting out. Richard Carpenter (guy next to Karen and her brother) saw the commercial, and thought the song would be perfect for Karen's voice...HECK YEAH!!!

Love the Carpenters! They are brother & sister. Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice...silenced way too soon💔 She was also a pretty good drummer. She actually considered herself a drummer before a singer! Gone way too soon! Her brother Richard was the songwriter & arranger of their amazing music. And had a pretty good voice himself!

This was made in the 70s there were no voice enhancers no green screens Ps thats a tambourine and i suggest you google them

Sad. Just sad. I can not comment without hurting some feelings. Going to keep them to myself.

when you make another reaction of a video try not to eat it looks very bad

She was and still is the Greatest female singer (vocalist) of all time and to ever live on this earth. There has never been and probably will never be a sweeter or softer angelic voice. She was also one of the Greatest drummers of her time. :)

They're called tambourines Captain Pause 💯😁🤟😎

They're brother and sister, which is why the harmonies are so great 😊

Love the way you're enjoying the music, and ice cream.

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW GUYS❤

Don’t think many people forget The Carpenters after hearing them!!!

Karen was an INSANE drummer. Dig deeper.

Agreed. She called herself a drummer who could sing, not a singer who could play the drums

This was originally used for a bank commercial. It originally had one verse. The bank was Crocker Bank. That bank no longer exists. The song was written by Paul "Little Enos" Williams.

You kids will hear this at every wedding reception you go to when you get older.

They playing a tambourine! 💙🎼💕✌️

These kids are great. Very open to music that 99.9 % of their friends would never give a chance. I really get a kick out of their love for The Beatles! I'm 57 years old but a big fan of these kids! I think what they do is great because they're hopefully exposing the best (60s and 70s) older music to people of all ages and more importantly people their own age!! It helps keep some nearly forgotten band cree çs and singers music alive. And that's a good thing!!!

That geezer playing the round triangle is great! Hahaha!!!

React to "midnight train to Georgia", you gonna love those vocals

Yall all so damn adorable. The Tambourine was iconic in the 60's and 70's. By the way it is young people like you that are going to save this country and the current shitshow. Live and love your life and fight for what you believe in and keep bringing the joy. It is becoming clearer by the day that your generation is going to make change. Real talk.

Love that young people are discovering the "older" music.

Im on my late 60s, so remember KC very well on the radio and TV specials. She began, with her brother Richard, by playing drums. Richard, her brother, was a terrific arranger but KC's voice was discovered by Herb Alpert in 1969 which began their road to fame. Richard convinced her that her best singing voice was contralto, 'the money is in the basement'. I believe KC's, voice, especially contralto, was the best female voice ever. No auto-tune, stripping, gimmicks, or screaming. Her nickname was 'one take', since she always sang a song once in studio without a single re-take. She sang to you with mesmerizing emotion, perfect pitch and enunciation. Her voice made you listen to her. She had no professional voice training. John Lennon told her at an LA restaurant that she had a lovely voice. Every female harmony in all of her songs was hers as well, sang, then dubbed into the song by Richard. They were most successful in early/mid1970s when she received 4 grammys. She was also recognized by 1975 Playboy poll as rock drummer of the year.She never knew true love, nor how good she really was. KC was a one of a kind female vocalist with the voice of an angel. Suggest songs: "Solitaire', A Place To Hideaway', 'Only Yesterday', 'Rainy Days and Mondays', 'I'll Say Godbye To Love', 'Need To Be In Love' and many more. She was never happy with way she looked. She had a few friends, her good friend was Dionne Warwick. She had serious onset of anorexia in 1975 that continued the rest of her life. She died Feb 1983 at 32yo due to complications from anorexia.

Greetings from Australia! Richard and Karen are brother and sister. Richard composes a lot of their songs and plays the piano and Karen is an accomplished drummer as well as singer. Susan

Karen and Richard Carpenter were brother and sister. She was originally the bands drummer and was very good at it. But as you can see, her amazing vocals soon led Richard to prompt her to sing. This particular song, was actually written as a jingle for Crocker bank in California. But when Richard saw the commercial one night while watching TV, he got a hold of the person who wrote the jingle. And he convinced him to flesh it out into a full song. The song was an immediate hit. And for years, this was a must at every wedding reception. You still hear it even today sometimes at wedding events. Because it really is very appropriate to that situation. Unfortunately, Karen battled with anorexia, and her declining health finally led to her death in 1983. Richard himself fought drug addiction for the longest time, entering rehab on more than one occasion. Today, at age 73, He is still active, writing, arranging, and recording. He funds an annual scholarship/talent show for people with artistic abilities that is held at the Thousand Oaks Civic Center in Thousand Oaks, California.

She was a fantastic drummer too. She laid down the drum tracks for this and maybe all Carpenters songs. She has videos where she plays drums, both singing and solo. Check it out.

Love you guy's

They are brother and sister

Very popular song at a wedding back in the day.

They were on Tv during this performance. Tambourines are the round instruments

Paul McCartney said Karen had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. No question, every KZreadr reacting to her voice absolutely loves it. Sadly she passed in 83 or 84. RIP Karen

Brother, and sister. One of my favorite songs is, For All We Know.

YOU would have been a positive message to the viewers to care about yourself and to be optimistic about the future. It's not green screen, those big letters were built as stage props.

The words are for the youth❤️

Very good analysis. Although it didn't seem at first that you were' not listening intently, you showed that you are. It is really nice to get deeper into the groups, esp. the really great ones like this. Cheers from Canada

If u love vocals u need to react to more of Karen's bests songs "Superstar" "Rainy days and Mondays " etc

They are the Best 🔝

Karen and her brother grew up in Downey, Ca Southeast of Los Angeles. A beautiful suburb . An article about the Carpenters referred to Karen as Richards chubby little sister. That type of reference can affect a young woman. She developed anorexia because of this. She was always worried about her weight. That contributed to her death. Very, very sad. The people of Downey were very sad and shocked to hear about her passing. Very famous artists showed up for her funeral . It was packed in Downey that day

I was 12 when this came out in 1972 I believe......if she were alive she'd be 70yrs old probably still singing / a living legend

Karen and Richard were brother and sister. They were very popular from the late 60's to the early 80's. Their careers were tragically cut short when Karen passed away at the age of 32 due to complications from the eating disorder anorexia.

Karen Carpenter had an incredible voice.....oh, and I can't wait for the whole "Karen" thing to go away. :(

Love it, this reminds me of highschool too. I was in Choir back in 86 and we used to sing this song. We were called The Velvetones, lol. I love the Carpenters, so much real talent. RIP Karen Carpenter.✌💜🎶

Karen didn't just have the most amazing voice, she was also a world class drummer. This song ''we've only just begun'' was co written by Paul Williams, who in the 70's was listed with a co writer as having the top 500 hits of the decade. This song was originally a bank video about newlywed buying a house. And Richard Carpenter, the brother of the duo, still a magnificent artist/musician/singer songwriter took this bank advertisement and turned it into the greatest his of the 70's, played at every wedding of the 70's. I'm a 61 year old white female. My first CD purchase was Carpenters Christmas...so beautiful. My next CD was a double of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I hope I can send yall this...hope it goes through. I was blessed with a lifetime of great music. My favorite singer was Joe Cocker and my favorite artist/entertainer was Michael Jackson. I'm sending you Joe at Woodstock.kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppqA261rdLm8hbg.html

Rainy Days and Mondays is their best!

Thx! You both have good ears for quality music! Great reaction! It’s a tambourine! Yes yes yes more Carpenters! -Terry, Canoga Park

Brother and sister!!!

This was my wedding song 37 years ago.

Tambourine is the name of the instrument... as well as the name of a song by Prince and the Revolution.

She’s the best for vocals.

No green screens in the 70s for live tv or music tv broadcasting.

You should see Karen Carpenter play the drums voted best rock drummer in 1975 by Playboy Magazine.

Karen and Richard Carpenter. Brother and sister.

Karen was one of the best female drummers ever!

Karen had that unmistakable contralto voice. Pitch perfect. If you're in to vocals, check out Home Free. They're an a capella group. Try their cover of Can't Stop the Feeling, or End of the Road.

Listen to her song Hurting Each Other, her vocals are incredible on that one

The Carpenters were brother and sister! This was a popular 1st dance wedding song in the 70's... A two part harmony might be to what you were referring .that is hard to do. :)

There is a NEW Keren singer from China. She is on Point ! Even Her brother went to see her. And was Blown Away !

If you all have ever heard of Luther Vandross, then go through his catalog, you'll find Carpenter's song in it. For example: a song called "Close To You".... another called "Rainy Days and Mondays" and I think he did this one as well, if I'm not mistaken. I was a preteen when the Carpenters became famous but there was SOOOO much music back then that I would love to expose you all to and see your reactions. It does my heart good to know that you can actually appreciate the work and real talent that went into these type of musical projects.❤❤❤

This was before "Autotune". Karen had an exquisite voice. This song is circa 1970; 50 years old. Karen is 20 years old in this video and would have been 70 years old in 2020. She died in 1983 at the age of 32 due to complications from Anorexia Nervosa.

She also played the drums.

The girl eating the yogurt. ❤️

Karen can sing bruh

This was actually a bank commercial written by Paul Williams and Richard Carpenter heard it and thought it would be a great song for him and Karen. He was right!

You know what is funny is that the Paul Williams jingle was about 30 seconds long and Richard just turned it into a Song!

There are classes that offer the knowledge you both value. I wish you both the best in life. If music knowledge is your thing, go get it. Much success to be had.

Frank Sinatra said if he had to pay to hear one singer it would be Karen Carpenter.

This was the wedding song of the 70s

They were brother and sister. No that is not green screen. This was from the 1970's. Green screen wasn't big back then. The instrument you are wondering about is called a tambourine.

Karen Carpenter was a beautiful singer. They were brother and sister and Karen passed away from an eating disorder. You mentioned you like vocals, then check out Post Modern Jukebox featuring Haley Reinhart with the Radiohead cover of the song Creep. They also do a great version of Seven Nation Army, but do Creep first.

You guys Rock❗👍 always ❣️

It is called a tambourine and this is a brother and sister group .

The song is about getting married.

They are brother and sister. Karen had awesome vocals; good luck finding better.

Quite simply, they’re among the immortals of music. Karen Carpenter was simply out of this world; had a voice from heaven & an epic drummer as well. Richard Carpenter is a master pianist & had an equally amazing voice in his own right. They made masterpieces every time. You’ve both struck gold in discovering The Carpenters.

Thanks, guys - you're talking about that guy wacky on the "tambourine" - lol

The Carpenters were brother and sister. The Flower 🌹

2020. You ain't gonna find any BETTER vocals than Karen Carpenter. Tru Dat......Tambourines...!!😎

Brilliant , amazing voice 🎵

You guys are killing me lol.

One of the best vocalist that ever lived was the late great Donny Hathaway. Some of his songs to check out are Thank You Master (For My Soul), A Song For You, For All We Know, Put Your Hand In The Hand, This Christmas, Where Is The Love ft Roberta Flack, The Closer I Get To You ft Roberta Flack, Yesterday, He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, The Ghetto, Young Gifted and Black, Lord Help Me!

Great song by Paul Williams. Even though it was originally a jingle for a Crocker Bank commercial...

Carpenters were brother and sister with their band.

Tambourine is what they are playing
