Hey Jeff, thanks so much for this great reaction to our video! I loved adding my two cents to Tori's wonderful video - it was great fun... She is an absolute joy to work with! -Jim Wilkas

[@StrateleStudios]

You did an amazing job on this Jim! 👏👏👏🫶

[@SAnnun-hs1io]

Jim, I've watched this and We've Only Just Begun well over a hundred and fifty times and they seem to only get more enjoyable. Love the harmonies during San Jose, so well done. Also love much of the older material on your channel. So glad you and Tori have collaborated, been following her for a while now and she is pure gold.

[@markstanton2362]

Also love Burt's signature horns in his music.

[@gregdcross]

Jim, I'm so thankful you have gotten with Tori and produced your videos and done the production work. Amazing job and I can see on your face how delighted you were to do it with you. And I'm sure you are watching like we all are that the world is finding Tori and falling in love with her voice.

[@jimmididr]

@@StrateleStudios Thank you!

[@charlesmarkley220]

The harmonies are great, her solo voice is sublime.😊

[@FredTonelli]

She looks so determined and assured in this one; at the end she says, ‘I did it’, with a quiet confidence. And boy did she do it! What a voice! :)

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

Only one word to describe this FANTASTIC! Just like Karen, Tori is one of a kind. Her voice is so smooth WOW! And Jim is great also. No auto-tune or pitch correction here. Just singing at it's finest. Thanks Jeff , love your reaction videos.

What a phenomenal and beautiful voice Tori has! Wow!

[@Curly34584]

She is Right on!👍❤️ Tori is Incredible😀

[@gregdcross]

So what have we all been seeing these past months with Tori Holub? Simple, a young woman with an amazing voice and attitude that draws us in just like all the great female singers have done. An no, she doesn't want to be Karen or just sing her songs. In other words, the world now has a singer very close to Karen which has an old soul that could sing a Supreme Court decision and we'd love it. I've been a fan since the late 1960s and thought I'd never see a female artist to be even as good as Karen. Well.... now I've found someone that really gets close.

[@user-fb3vd8yn5i]

Damn, this is great.

[@nyseg99]

Jeff, Do you think you could get Tori on your show to interview her about her voice? When I first heard her, I thought she was Karen Carpenter reincarnated as Tori. Took me back. I started crying. I understand she is not auto tuned or pitch corrected and figured out those harmonies all on her own.!!!

[@StrateleStudios]

That would be fun. 😊

Hi Jeff, Here’s the rest of the story. Tori did her part last October, all by herself! She used a Richard Carpenter created Karaoke track that he made for the Japanese market. I was introduced to Tori by KZbin just before this video dropped! Wow! The Appreciation segment is my favorite Live Carpenters performance of this Medley on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1970. Karen live drumming and singing! Tori did all the vocals, mixing editing etc. She even was “Richard” in the harmonies, listen carefully and in Walk On By, it’s a duet so she looks right at the camera and is Richard, harmonies, Karen (repeat). She had made a short with one segment of the Medley and was challenged to create the whole thing, hence the opening. Flash forward to early 2024 and Jim is introduced to Tori by KZbin with this song. He loved it but felt it needed “More Richard.” So he added himself and showed it to Tori. She loved it he released it and We’ve Only Just Begun was then first result of this new collaboration. How’s that for a story! More to come and I for one can’t wait. Eduard2004 created a mashup of the We’ve Only videos. You may have seen that. He also did this medley which I’ll link below for fun. You want to see how close Tori and then Jim were to the Carpenters. This video will blow your mind. I’ve seen comments that she’s too fast, nope that was Richard’s original arrangement for this.

Sempre amei Os Carpinteiros ! Sou do Brasil , mais me tornei fã de Karen desde 1983 , pois só descobri sobre essa dupla naquela época ; pois como nasci em 72 , eu quase não lembro de muita coisa da década de 70 , era muito criança na época , e não tem como não falar dos Carpinteiros e não lembrar das inesquecíveis canções : I need to be in love , one more time , I believe you , sing entre tantas . Beto - Brasília - df 👍❤️

[@richyz01]

Her voice is ear candy for sure. 😊

[@rontiemens2553]

Phenomenal.

[@jbach4311]

[@debbicozart7130]

Thanks Jeff for finally playing this. Man have you been busy! Good for you. I'm happy for you! Now I'm going to try and find another video. BTW thanks for posting what songs are coming up as it is very helpful for me and others to pick a video. ❤

[@jbs256]

Well chosen Debbi! Welcome to the club! ❤ Joe

[@SAnnun-hs1io]

Thanks for the fabulous request. Have yet to get tired of seeing people react to this video.

[@ajperry3063]

Long time subscriber here! Love your genuine reactions! Thank you for always introducing us to new artists... I would like to suggest Jacob Collier's mind blowing cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water as well as Do Hot Girls Like Chords by Knower on future videos :)

[@MichaelAndrews-uy1gl]

This was a superb cover...great job, and great talent.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

Wicked scary. God has blessed her with Karens voice. God knew that Karen left the music industry and her fans too soon. A beautiful lady with a great voice!
