I so love Karen and Dusty, both one of a kind voices, never can get enough true talent such as these ladies. Also thanks Richard as always brilliant!

This is Dusty Springfield. She was considered a singer's singer - a great voice- and she was Karen Carpenter's favorite. When Richard was recording a solo album in 1987, he asked Dusty to sing the vocals on this track - not as a tribute to Karen, but because Dusty was Karen's idol. Richard plays the piano and with Dusty's voice, the result is hauntingly beautiful. Dusty died in 1999.

Me too! I was 7 when they started out and I really looked up to her.So much real talent and such a warm person.Really miss her and always will.

i love all karen's song..i never get tired of listening it...even karen was not around anymore but her songs still lives on...up to many generations...

What a touching tribute to two truly lovely and multi-talented ladies: Karen and Dusty!

Ahhh, the distinctive heavenly voice of Dusty Springfield. Glad she worked with Richard on this song. Nice touch showing Karen to it.

Splendid voice...

Pure loveliness - and it made sense that Richard teamed up with Dusty on this track - she is, after all, second to Karen. R.I.P. to the two greatest female singers ever to grace this earth.

Amen! you are right... totally

If Karen was alive, this song would have sung by her for sure. Dusty and Karen had their styles - Dusty sang it with passion, while Karen would sing it lovingly.

I still miss Karen, 26 years later.

As great and clear in her voice as KAREN was, DUSTY brings this song home closer. It is a tribute to both of them. Two beautiful voices are now still and silent only to be brought alive in past recordings. They left way too early.

I need Dusty springfield's video too. She is a classic. Please bring her back.

Thank you for posting Dusty's version of this song. I sure love Richard Carpenter's music!

This is one of my favorite Dusty Springfield songs. If you listen closely to the last note of this song, you would swear you can hear Karen's voice as it fades away. I wonder if Richard "ghosted" (actual term for fading in) that note in. This song peaked at #12 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Great catch....agree & a poignant touch like that would be in keeping with Richard's brilliance. Beautiful song honoring the two greatest singers in history.

Gone to soon. RIP angel.

Dusty The best Female Vocalist out of Britain! Beautiful Singer if not the best! Richard could have given her a little more credit!

Ilove you Karen,your voice changed my life forever!!!

I couldn't have said it better. Thank you. RIP Angel's.

We Miss You Karen!!

one of my favorite singers

No, the song written for Karen was "In Love Alone," which was later recorded by Dionne Warwick and appears on Richard's "Time" album along with "Something in Your Eyes."

Dusty at her very finest here AGAIN

I like this artist's voice and this song, but I would have loved to have heard it recorded by Karen and Richard as well, I can almost hear Karen's voice singing this one... miss her...

I don't know who you are but thank you so much for such a beautiful, beautiful video. I'll never stop missing Karen.

@justinjameswest - This original version was on Richard Carpenter's 1987 solo album called "Time." It peaked at #12 on the Adult Contemporary singles chart.

I like Clair's voice, and I especially like her version of this song. And it's nice to see Richard getting the appreciation he deserves, even if he has to travel halfway across the world to get it.

Just think... Karen would have been 50 this year. All the great music she could still be making for us today... it really hurts that she's gone, even over 27 years after the fact. Thank you for the music, Karen and Richard; because of both of you, MY life will never be the same. (By the way, I am 30 and was not yet three years old when Karen died.)

perfect

I remember this song getting some Adult Contemporary airplay when it was first released but it quickly vanished afterward, which is a shame, as it is a beautiful song. Am I the only one who gets a little teary-eyed watching the footage of Karen performing in front of the "sunny" backdrop at the lyric "And as I watch you framed in sunlight, in a sky of blue"? Too bad Karen and Dusty never got a chance to duet... that would have been musical heaven.

No. The song was written in 1984, a year after Karen passed away. And Richard thought Dusty Springfield would be the perfect voice for such beautiful song.

Wow! 2:30 to 2:58 ouch! The words and video during those seconds said alot! Karen touched so many fans like no other.Glad Richard got to work with Dusty.Thanks for posting this!

Now Carpenters voice!

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Karen! Here is an MTV of Dusty Springfield's tribute to her friend, Karen. vimeo.com/270761293 I still remember to this very day where I was when I saw the news of Karen's death. I was walking along Taft Avenue doing a survey of the Malate area for my college thesis project. The evening paper was on the sidewalk and I saw Karen's picture and news of her sudden death. I broke into tears and couldn't believe it was true. I am certain she is in heaven now and has fulfilled her mission on earth.

sing alike of the claire dela fuente,our prayers and love for claire.

one of my favorite song and also my mom

Also try Claire de la Fuente - Something In Your eyes from the Philippines. It's the best and original. Compsed by Mr. Carpenter and Sung by Claire de la Fuente.

Don't you know that Philippines got a beautiful singer that really sounds like Karen. She really sounds the same, She's fantastic and Richard knows it. She's Claire de La Fuente. Infact everytime I see/hear Claire perform this song in any Filipino Variety show I just closed my eyes and feel as if it's Karen performing, hehehe! We missed and loved Karen may she rest in Peace.

I love

MrPAPAGAYO46 "Algo en tus ojos" se titula esta canción que Richard Carpenter grabó en solitario con Dusty Springfield, poco después de la muerte de su hermana Karen, en 1982, casi como una tierna evocación y tributo a ella. Es una melodía sencilla deliciosamente adornada por las cuerdas, coros, percusión, bajo y guitarras acústicas, cuya letra es una remembranza de los años que crecieron y cantaron juntos, hasta que la muerte se la llevó a los 32 años, y solo queda un aura de tristeza cuyo recuerdo seguirá vivo en su corazón, porque su vida sin ella ya nunca más será la misma.

Creo pertinente aclarar que quien canta realmente la canción es la vocalista Dusty Springfield, y Richard Carpenter es quien la acompaña al piano.

@jwesboy Claire dela Fuente has an even haunting version of it because she is a Karen Carpenter replica. Claire, as far as I know is a great fan of the Carpenters and is making a comeback after being a plain wife for a couple of years. Welcome Claire! Please make Karen's music live agan through you!

cada vez que me meto a you tube, paso horas y horas viendo videos de karen carpenter, Each time that i acced to you tube, i spend hours and hours watching videos of karen.

A única voz que chegou perto da Karen Carpenter. Muito bom.

but this not karen's voice. this is Dusty Springfield, tribute to karen.

Beautiful!! So this is the version of Dusty Springfield. The singer sounds like Claire de la fuente. Their versions are both beautiful but I wished it was recorded by Karen too. =) P.S. We have the same song tribute for KC but mine is Claire's version. lol =) T.C.C.I.C

Check Clair Dela Fuente & Richard, singing this song. He's aged gracefully. He said he wrote it for Dusty Springfield, four years after Karen died. I used to play this song all the time when I was young(er). Its good to see someone younger has carried on the songs of the Carpenters, especially this hit song. Any reactions?

That's true.

Karen Carpenter, INSUBSTITUÍVEL.

😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Have others performed this besides Dusty? Karen died before she the chance to record it... that's the only reason Richard farmed the vocals out.

This song was intended to be sung by Karen Carpenter, but unfotunately she died before recording it.

nobody today or in the past can ever replace karen carpenter voice. she was very special. also the rock hall of fame should be ashamed of themselves for not putting the carpenters in there. I live an hour away from there , and I won't go. Alot of people feel this way. Blondie is in there and she isn' even close to karen's voice period. Karen forevere......

I wasn't aware Karen had a solo project at A&M that was shelved. Did it ever get released?

I'm sorry, but this video's too confusing, especially the clips that show Karen singing when the vocals are from Dusty. I'd rather hear Karen's own voice on a tribute to her.

Just go check your ears ...

DANGIT... my mistake. She would have been 60 this year, not 50. Maybe I should learn how to add. :)

he probably didn't expect Miss Springfield to show up totally HIGH in the recording studio. i'm sorry, was this too harsh? she really sounds on a lil somethin' somethin' here.

Richard you should be ashamed of yourself. Did the money and and the little fame you had from your sister make you blind.

Sorry she's like Drunk notice that?

I need Dusty springfield's video too. She is a classic. Please bring her back.
