Oh, that's just your prejudice, which is fine and sweet that you love her so much. I would say that Julie Andrews and a singer you likely never heard of, Ofra Haza (listen to: Im Nin Alu and You've Got a Friend), have very clear voices... and many more. I think that Karen has a somewhat deep voice and that may have something to do with the appeal for you and why hear her voice as being so rich and clean... I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all, but there are other people with very clear voices. There were times when Whitney's voice rang like a well-crafted bell also. Donna Summer singing Someone Who Will Watch Over Me is very different from Karen's but it shows a different kind of magic that Karen didn't have. Another great voice - Dulce Pontes singing Cancao do Mar.

Oh, that's just your prejudice, which is fine and sweet that you love her so much. I would say that Julie Andrews and a singer you likely never heard of, Ofra Haza (listen to: Im Nin Alu and You've Got a Friend), have very clear voices... and many more. I think that Karen has a somewhat deep voice and that may have something to do with the appeal for you and why hear her voice as being so rich and clean... I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all, but there are other people with very clear voices. There were times when Whitney's voice rang like a well-crafted bell also. Donna Summer singing Someone Who Will Watch Over Me is very different from Karen's but it shows a different kind of magic that Karen didn't have. Another great voice - Dulce Pontes singing Cancao do Mar.

John Lennon once encountered Karen Carpenter in a restaurant and complimented her on her singing. KC reportedly told those she was with afterward, "he couldn't have meant that". I imagine KC arriving in Heaven in February 1983 and meeting Lennon again there (assuming Lennon "imagined" wrong, of course); Lennon looks at KC with an expression of mild reproof and says "I did mean it, you know, dear..."❤️
The people who suffer the most, are the ones who smile the most... Just look at Karen Carpenter smiling and enjoying singing with Ella, with her little cute dancing movements. Even at her worst (illness), she gave her best..... God bless her beautiful soul. Thank you Karen. You surely were an amazing vocalist and a sweetheart.

Oh my God have I iust slipped into a parallel universe? my two favourite singers in one place singing together. Never knew they ever sang together. Great video.
Today the most of people don't know what they're seeing when they watch this. Those two ladies were legends in their own time and they remain as two of the finest and greatest Singer of all times.
Karen Carpenter was such a talent, lost too soon😢❤
Two of the most WONDERFUL voices of the world!
Karen, Ella & Aretha... The quintessential female voices of 20th century - thanks so much for sharing Karen & Ella together

Don’t forget Julie Andrews. I’d argue that more people have heard her sing than any other female singer of the 20th century. Generations have seen Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music multiple times. All the Broadway performances all the TV specials, all the stuff with Carol Burnett, singing in various other movies, Grammy awards, Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes she was part of everyone’s life for decades

Connie Francis was voted the best female entertainer of the 20th century and sold the most records .
I'm Daniel from 🇦🇷 Argentina, and I started to listen to them, when we lived in the UK 🇬🇧 {Barrow in furness /Cumbria} since 1975, She really had a lovely voice and talent
KZread can’t get better than this.
Brilliant, this recording. What they shared other than their obviously magnificent voices, was their impeccable diction. You understand every syllable, and truly, isn't this what brings justice to all lyricists? Gorgeous.

Really sad our generation kids growing up listening to Nicki Minaj, Cardi B.
How perfect Karen Carpenter sounded despite her serious illness in 1980, three years before she died! Her divine sound and heavenly appearance bring tears to my eyes.
This is so sad... at that time you might have thought that Ella was the one singing her farewell to music and life. But seeing how Karen was skin and bones, and knowing the ending, is heartbreaking.

Karen looks so gaunt. It almost hurts to look at her.
The best 2 voices in the business.
I never knew this existed... two of the greatest female vocalist in history together! Pure Heaven! They sound great together especially in their finale!
I think the thing that strikes me the most is that there is no competition between them. Individually, their styles are quite different - Karen's has a pop-style while Ella is quintessentially jazz. BUT when they sing the melody together they matched perfectly! That is very hard to do! Really excellent!

Two vocal masters. Listen to that timing, the swinging, the incredible phrasing, and they perfectly complement each other - no competition at this level - just pure respect. Just magic together.

This just warms my heart. I wish I could listen to these two beautiful voices all day, everyday.
