I will always remember her as that shy teenage girl who just discovered her talent. Then suddenly, right before eyes she was a beautiful young lady that nurtured and perfected her craft. Always so genuine and loving.....she gave us her heart. Such a tragedy and loss. Thank god there is all these videos and recordings. She will always be in my 💜.

I cry when I see her on this video and hear her sweet voice I love you Karen Carpenter I wish she was still alive

God she was beautiful & I think she had a very cheeky side to her that we didn’t get to see enough of - miss her & that beautiful voice.

Wow. What a privilege to see this. God sent us an Angel for a little while and then He took her back home. ❤

Karen was not only the greatest singer who ever lived but she was funny too.

What a beautiful, heavenly God given voice and she was so sweet and funny. She is so missed.

THE WONDERS OF KAREN CARPENTER - SO EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL, SUCH AN ASTOUNDING PERFORMER, THE VOICE IS INDESCRIBABLY IN ALL ITS FINE SHIFTS DURING A SONG. A VOICE JUST SO VERY B E A U T I F U L IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.

I know I can't be the only one watching this and thinking: She probably had the best singing voice of any pop female artist the world has ever known!

Goodbye to love. Best song of all time. The harmonies and guitar solo 😍😍

What am I without a Carpenter song ?

I always loved her!!!

Wow this is so live that its like shes in your living room. Glad she didnt lipsync. Something about the sound in this recording that you can hear the room noise and her every breath makes it so real. Listen with headphones.

voice of an angel!!!!

You could tell everyone wanted Karen to take the main seat, but Richard did.

I watch this clip daily. I remember watching this when it first aired in the 70's. Karen makes this song sound like a 1940's classic.I love it!! I can't get enough of Karen's version of this song along with the emotion in her voice that takes you on a journey. I love her hair style and outfit.She was always so funny and I always loved listening to her speak.Part 2 is done with her usual perfection.Richard and the band sound great.I really loved her smile and caring nature being sure to include everyone as you see at the end when John mentions cubby only. Everyone is "still listening when you start to sing " Karen. "Thank You for the music"!!! Love You and Miss You so much!

Beautiful Voice with perfect inflection. Sadly missing her, but she lives through her music forevever!

Daaamn!! I love this. I love Karen Carpenter. She was an angel out here for awareness of so many controversies. She left us at 32 years old and accomplished so much in a short time with her music. At the same time she left us with a legacy of things to come and real love she passed on to a world of people who continue to mourn her sweet spirit. Not many have this gift. Karen was just Special in ways some will never know. Her voice in how she sang the lyric to every song was angelic 💕🙏🏿🌺✌🏾

Superstar still is one of the most sacred songs, and as I was by the side of a former actress dear friend dropping to 79lbs who made it past heart failure, and is living a healthy life 15 years later, bulmemia/anorexia is a very serious disease. Losing Karen Carpenter 💔 😢 changed the 🌎 world to now no longer hide it. Im a drummer and dark haired musician who loved Karen's soul so much from the 80's and still today. Let her soul keep flying high...I will still write lyrics because she inspired me, one that is beyond shy.

Does anyone actually know who wrote "Superstar" they did not but,a famous duo from the 60s Woodstock Era wrote it but,never planned on recording it so,it was given to Karen to sing Richard changed the title and 2 words they were upset by that but 2 words Karen was young,shy,just starting to come out of her shell and drumsets that sheltered her from what she loved most but gave her confidence but the song writer got over it and realized what the Carpenters truly did. They made that song a million dollar triple platinum in 5 country's, #1 hot single in 1976. It was ok I'm just 55 and also,a huge joplin fan and Karen and Richard are beyond amazing he's just 🎼 🎹 an embassador of ama,amazing, qltys as Karen was with her perfect pitch It was ready Bonnie Bramlett sp,? And her husband that wrote it . Trip huh but Richard and Karen sang it just because they liked it. Look em up 60s group sang with Dylan in early 60s. The gifts of talent and a beautiful voice and all of many talents and what you can do is why they're all gifted in music etc.How beautiful what a new memory for fans it was actually Rosie Rosanne Barr actress and BFF with Bonnie B. They were singing Amazing Grace at Bonnie's house last year. And Rosie told the story after she req.Bonnie to sing Superstar it's org.name you'll have to research that part as I've given the history and imtired I know it. Look for it on Google or Wikipedia or the Bonnie and Rozanne video I believe it's on youtube.ok thanks for reading someone let us know when u find out the org.nMe do share Karen carpenter Bless you girl and all the Carpenter legacy.amen, 🙏 K

What did Karen do but,idolize her brother and have a huge gift that ended up leaving us all lost for her great presence and shining beauty. That's why I take no one for granted and do my best to keep my family and friends and the Huge void and great legacy alive even if I'm only a smudge in the effort then Karen's life and gift of music and all Richards sacrifices and pain and talent won't be in vain.ForKaren your loved by yourfanfamily I only hope

What a beautiful voice. I look forward to her resurrection in the new world.

WOW❗❗ What a voice❗❗👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤❤❤❤❤❤

Her pronunciations are so clear & correct, I don’t really think she had the best backing group but I guess Richard did all the arrangements so what suited him & not her.

She stopped Richard so she could go first from the couch to the stage. Ladies first... That guitar solo at the end made Goodbye To Love the first power ballad.

Karen es hermosa, muy graciosa y con una hermosa voz, hoy debe ser parte del coro de angeles en el cielo.

She was already skinny as an skeleton, but singing like the godess she was. And musically The Carpenters was the closest thing to perfection! I wonder if they reharsed that medlay just for this interview. So complex and without hints for changing into songs. Truly amazing!

I think Karen is so talented. TV cameras have always loved her, so natural. And she always seemed so genuine...Richard, not so much. He always seemed kinda awkward in interviews. To me, he always seemed a little “off”. Karen also had a funny side to her. She always seemed like the leader, but we all know who was the leader according to mother. I think Karen was the star and always will be!! Richard gets credit for the beautiful arrangements. Karen loved her brother and thought so much of his opinion. Just wish he had her back like she did for him. 💜💜love and miss you Karen💜💜 you live on with us always!!

That guitarist played a kickass lead over what’s probably one of the first power ballads, and doesn’t get a mention, but the drummer goes nuts at the end and gets a plug - (?) I think Karen noticed that. She was absolutely in sync with him during his lead work. That was the best part of this video, to me
