Can't Smile Without You The Carpenters

Album Reflections(1995)
A beautiful Song
Esta canción se la dedico a mi Florcita !!!!!!

[@A-Nobody]

I'm a hardened heavy metal fan, but Karen Carpenters voice is the most beautiful female vocal that ever lived.

[@edwardmurdoch5070]

I was into progressive rock when I was a teen in the seventies, but her voice made me stop dead on my tracks when I listened to her voice on the streets. :)

[@rondeneef]

fok man .thazz nice to say! Respect

[@agapitomorante9146]

La reina selena era más completa la artista más talentosa❤🌹💥

[@johngrant5881]

I can't stop crying

[@MrUngola]

Her voice has a power of healing.

[@rondeneef]

veritas

[@reginamcday1955]

Yes, she has a very comforting and angelic voice. Listening to her songs always soothes. 😊

[@TransitLover_17]

I respect your opinion but in my opinion this song sounds a lot better with Barry Manilow

[@rondeneef]

cliff richard... karen carpenter..

[@rondeneef]

yep

[@1MolokoPlus]

When I was 5 (1982) my mom got breast cancer. Before she got it, she would play this song on the piano and I would listen. When she was going through with the mastectomy I would think about this song and cry and hurt and worry. Thankfully she lived and is still with me. 29 years later and I'm a grown man and I still cry when I hear it. I love you mom and I can't smile without you.

[@richardea4223]

Karen would have been honored to bring you through this. She definitely loved children. God bless you and your family. 💙

[@eyezofblue1204]

“Did ye know that Karen Carpenter is one of my many distant cousins!” :)

[@katiejo6066]

Awww...

[@PaulNgim]

God bless.

[@ronaldrendon2878]

The most beautiful voice the world has ever known. What a beautiful song! She sings like an Angel.

[@steveperryisawesome]

There's nothing weird about having great taste. Most of today's music is disposable and easily forgotten. The Carpenters music is timeless because of Richard's wonderful intricate melodies and Karen's voice (which I consider the purest and most effortless in pop music history)

[@sherryhostutler2241]

We need to bring back this old feel good music. 😢

[@sactiger2817]

Her voice is like warm honey... Rest In Paradise, Karen... :'(

[@0829mick]

true

[@TrudylynnGunn]

Since & Forever, I agree. My fav of childhood years..... so forever. Cheers! Perfect pitch, amazing?

[@Vezzo55]

A beautiful voice and soul.....The voice of an angel

[@falsealarmno]

Oh shit. I didn't know she died.

[@pboo2607]

Pure silk

[@valerielee5879]

It's a Carpenter day at work & fighting back tears. The wonderful memories. TY KC RIP

[@CherylKruse-gh4ii]

hope you made it out of that dreary day and have been doing well

[@geoffp326]

She is still the greatest female vocalist ever.

[@chitagongob5905]

Geoff P 100% agree with you!

[@johnconway8070]

No doubt about it ! Karen's voice is second to none .

[@AnnieBoBannie421]

Uh no she's up there but def not the best

[@johnconway8070]

+Alicos Smallwodd As a matter of interest, who would you consider to be the world's greatest female singer ?

[@AnnieBoBannie421]

John Conway I've always loved the Carpenters, but I'd have to say Stevie Nicks is the best I may be forgetting an oldie that could out sing her, but I'm going to look back and make sure I havent totally forgotten someone as I'm writing this I'm thinking damn, Etta James so it's tough....

[@sherrycannon2603]

When you listen to Karen Carpenter, there is just no stress in her voice, it's clear and concise, she can reach those high notes with no effort. The music world lost one of the most beautiful voices when we lost her. An amazing talent whose candle burned out much too quick.

[@pagalley1]

Karen's voice is one of the most beautiful sounds, to have ever existed, on Earth.

[@steliosc.4686]

Indeed my friend!

[@rosemerebarros4378]

Amo a voz dela. Lembra a minha vida na adolescência.

[@maurobendinelli7281]

Pure velvet

[@ronnelechavez]

I'll cross out the "one of". Karen's voice is the most beautiful sound to have ever existed on Earth.

[@stevenzipkin3757]

U betcha 👨

[@miangelsai55]

ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS THIS PLANET EVER PRODUCED !

[@mink4780]

Do agree!

[@manuelsolis7834]

I aggre...

[@jonmaestas7648]

@@mink4780 to me she is the best female singer of all time

[@DukeOfLA]

She really was ..and I love when they double her voice ..wow ..perfection.

[@nickshields2747]

very true and beautiful with it

[@donaldthomas7070]

Karen's voice made you feel like you were spending quality time with a good friend.

[@RitaSora]

Exactly!

[@theowest4540]

There has never again been a voice like Karen Carpenter since she passed away. The world lost someone amazing when she died. RIP Karen Carpenter

[@rondeneef]

she is chosen.............(not by mormon group)

[@carloscagnones5594]

LA VOZ MAS HERMOSA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS, NUNCA EN MIS 60 AÑOS ESCUCHE UNA MEJOR VOZ QUE ESTA, QUERIDA KAREN QUE DIOS TE TENGA EN SU CLORIA, FUISTE UN ANGEL EN ESTA TIERRA, I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stealthplane5]

My boyfriend had saved up for tickets to see Carpenters at the Palladium in London in 1976. Not only that but the Royal Box tickets!!.The Palladium is small and I felt like I could reach out and touch them. Karens Voice was as beautiful rich and pure as none have ever been.Richard was a genius with everything else and the band were superb. It was a night I will never ever forget and will cherish forever. x

[@sandymatza]

Karen Is Still The Best Female Vocalist Ever On Earth And In Heaven. Keep Singing For Those In Heaven Karen. Miss You And Yur Voice. ❤️😇😢.

[@tetukqosatryowido7640]

NANI?!

[@ski8615]

💯 🇬🇧 🇵🇰

[@JohnGamerlTHEROYALBAVARIAN]

So many years go by and I still cry. Thank you Karen

[@dustydoll9820]

The voice of an angel, so beautiful.

[@bassiryahaya1199]

yes, you are right... . ... a gift from God

[@tieukhavu8832]

But she went to early 😭

[@jodallion]

Karen's voice is, was, will always be the most beautiful sound ever heard.

[@necitamaquinana1274]

No one can replace Karen Carpenter, she’s one in a million. I missed her so much… I love ❤️ you Karen..you will never been forgotten…

[@rondeneef]

yo see her back.. trapist1

[@agusbudijarto7411]

Yes I do agree she is greatest female singer.

[@jennyjacob103]

I'm 22 but I grew up to these kind of songs. I love her voice! I just can't get enough of the carpenters. I'll always love them :-)

[@karu-271]

Why does this bring me to tears SO easily...?!

[@sarah6557]

Because of my mum playing carpenters in the 70 and 80s I love all there songs.....my mum past away 10 years ago...I'm still blasting out the carpenter's IN 2020 x

[@jbmckean]

I listened to this in the 70's and im still listening to it today 22/7/2024 her voice just keeps me coming back for more it's beautiful.

[@ChuckWroste]

Karen, it is just a bit harder to smile since you left us. To hear your songs is to feel an audio hug. Your music is always in my heart and filling that emptiness that comes with living a solitary life in my senior years. Thank you for all the wonderful songs.

[@greenwich1754]

Jim Southern Exactly. her voice fills the void of ones we've lost, and those we never had. May the Lord bless you in your senior years. I'm approaching them myself, and am also quite alone.

[@poobyrooh07]

Marty Howe same here, and to make it more difficult I care for my step father with dementia. I saw an episode on tv tonight on the autopsy on Karen & why she passed away so early in her years. That brought me here to hear her lovely voice

[@oceania68]

+Jim Southern agreed

[@cathiecurtis1455]

agreed here too

[@muckeyduck3472]

It's harder to smile since you left us? Everyone leaves. I prefer to say it's easier to smile with the knowing that you hearing your voice, your songs bring back the happy, breathless smiles of my youth.

[@yonexseven]

smoother than smooth ,silkier than silk ,honier than honey...The most beautiful sounding female vocalist ever

[@TheRoyalBavarian]

I love Striesand and many others but no one had the effortless delivery of Karen Carpenter. She makes me smile.

[@Rick-Jangle]

That voice would make a brick wall cry!

[@rondeneef]

hell man

[@rondeneef]

just vibes..thay is whom she goes with

[@priscilas24]

And I feel sad when you're sad and i feel glad when you're glad ... lyrics are so passionate

[@antij1]

This is a great example of her ability to make anything she sang her own.

[@melanie6014]

The Carpenters actually released this song on their 1976 album two years before Barry Manilow sang it. The Carpenters hadn't released it as a single however, and it's now known as Barry's song.

[@buukkreider544]

I'm glad Richard is still keeping the old songs going (02/22/2022)!

[@michaeljw3602]

The definitive female singer of all time .. when she sang the whole world should have stopped and listened

[@obhuicoksetyaetse1]

Jim, you have it right. In my 56 years she is THE standard for singers and ladies. PERIOD.

[@cjm8172]

Cry every time I hear her

[@kal5571]

I don't know about ya'll, but I'm still missing Karen in 2021 and the whole world still can't smile without Karen here in 2021!

[@IbanezArtist85]

When I first heard this lady sing (Junior High in the early '70s), I couldn't believe that anybody could sound that good. What a rich, velvety smooth voice. What a tragic loss. And yes, her brother is a genius pianist, composer, and arranger.

[@IrisZasela]

Karen Leave this 🌎 too soon I'm (46) years old & was born in: "1978" ❤ has a Good Voice Karen U R miss 😢

[@NightStars1122]

I wasn't even born yet when all those good oldies were out. However, I love oldies. People think that I am weird and say that I am too young for this. Well, a lot of those songs I have never heard, I still listen to them like they are "new" songs. The more I listen to oldies, the more I like them. I was so sad that Karen died so young. Her voice was a gifted talent.

[@shellysitzer7846]

There never was and never will be anyone like Karen Carpenter. Thank you Karen for all your songs. Perhaps wherever you are you know that we still remember and love you.

[@richardea4223]

Look to the Heavens and there is where you will find her, AMEN!💙

[@ottowes]

Poor Karen, such a tragic loss. Her sweet voice is a comfort to all who hear it!

[@rickrodrigues2219]

What a huge loss to the music world...can't smile without you Karen!

[@blkhed]

"Enchanting" is the best description I can offer for the voice,and the look of America's beloved Karen.I miss Her so much. God Bless You,Karen.

[@NY152A]

Karen is really one of the best female vocalists the world ever had..,and all of her songs and music will last as a masterpiece even after the next 500 years. Most singers nowadays, on the other hand, won't.

[@georgie9337]

what a voice ! what a beautiful voice . . it's like poetry in motion . RIP Karen Carpenter

[@Tiffany.1970]

This song brings a tear to my eyes hearing sweet Karen's voice if only she had help with her issues I so miss Karen carpenter so much now with mum n God bless you Karen xx

[@robertfausnaught8513]

Her voice will be heard till Earth is gone.she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard

[@divaslive6953]

I'm a mid 90's dude, my grandma introduced me to the hits of 70's and 80's and since then I become an old fashioned music lover guy... Am I weird? I can't find myself loving the songs of today's songs, pardoned me but no matter how I tried I still coming back to my old fashioned music which I loved mosts and I will never get tired of listening to them over and over and over and over again. ❣💕😍

[@IslandGirl-nt6ry]

Weird??? Of course not!!! You 've just discovered what real music sounds like. Enjoy! I remember those wonderful days when these songs came on the radio. Never settle for what some in the music industry want to call "talent".

[@islemhennous108]

@melatonin 96' as well and fell in love with 80's and 90's hits, I don't know it's paradise when you listen to those magical songs. And I don't feel weird, I feel special instead

[@hitobito1]

Divas Live No, you’re not weird! The Carpenters and Karen Carpenter has an amazing & beautiful voice! She died well before her time. Karen Carpenter is my favorite singer! I love her voice and the melodic sound! I have every song she recorded & enjoy them all!

[@gailjestus5734]

Miss you so much! 😥

[@campaignemark]

I did not realize she died of anorexia. Very sad. Karen has a pure voice. She hits the notes purely when she goes after them and does not do the "scooping" into notes that many do today. She uses vibrato sparingly and tastefully. We sang their songs on long road trips, 6 kids and parents. Still remember all the words.

[@jeanmariezeyen111]

that is because she's got a perfect diction !

[@slobaoljaca2926]

She looked and sung fantastic in that Holland tour. She'd needn't loos her weight any more but we knew what happened further. God bless her, She'll be with us for all time

What an incredible, velvety, crystal clear, relaxing, powerful, unusual and addictive voice. I love this girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pair of brothers are incredible. Only Karen's voice numbs me and I never want to let her go.

[@bryanjeske6856]

The Carpenters were sooooo good !!! Karen's voice was so special and she was ahead of her time - wish she was here !!!

[@fenderaxe]

Think about the tragic luck that the two most beautiful, most delicate of flowers of all the women singers we've ever had, were crushed by this terrible world. But thank god for Karen and Selena, they made this place liveable with all the beauty they gave us. When I hear them sing it isn't just listening to pleasant sounds, I can feel the warmth of their gentle hearts in every breath,every time. That is the magic of music, it's time travel and it's soul travel all at the same time. These ladies really knew how to love.

[@thanhmansour3490]

My friend likes Karen Carpenter. He's British but he likes Karen Carpenter. He likes this song for his wife. She has a pretty smile. Sometimes, I think she's the best thing ever to come into his life. He smiles now.

[@aliciak1959]

John Lennon loved Karen's voice.
