Carpenters - Rainy days and Mondays

[@victorjohnson7512]

Songwriter Paul Williams wrote this for her because he wanted it sung by an angel. He also wrote "We've only just begun"

Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy,,,,Those girls back in the 70's could actually SING! No stupid stage shows, lip-synching, or dancers! GAG! Thank you to those who post these clips from a lost era. Carpenter was one of the best from that time and one of America's greatest vocalists ever. Such a pure distinctive voice and brilliant phrasing. No one can sing a sad song like Karen.

[@robertpiarulli6230]

Yes, those four were the biggest in my opinion of the 1970s. Karen, being my all-time favorite

[@esb1250]

I still cry every time I hear this song. There will never be another singer as wonderful as Karen Carpenter.

[@wantingoneangel8976]

I also cry when I hear this song too. Karen Carpenter 💐💐 had such a beautiful voice and she was such a down-to-earth kind person. It is profoundly sad that Karen Carpenter died so young😢🖤🕯️. I was just a Kid when Karen Carpenter 💐💐 died on Feb 4th, 1983😢🕯️🖤. I just 🙏🙏 pray that there is a Heaven Karen Carpenter💐🌹 singing there 🙏🙏💛💛✨✨.

One of the most beautiful songs of the '70s. What a sad loss. When she sang, it sounded as though she believed what she was singing.

[@nbadams9999]

So very sad that when you listen to the words Karen sings, They are all about her. What a tragic lose of someone with so much talent and Love in her.

Back in the 1980's I worked at the offices of the attorney's Carpenter's. We had an entire section of file space devoted only for their files. Karen lived down the street (in Century City LA) from the office and would come in from time to time. This was around 1982

[@richardea4223]

Her interpration can still make me smile or cry, what a talent, what a gift, taken from us much to soon. Her sadness still haunts me when I hear her singing. How many performers can afftect an audience that way. I am usually critical since I have been singing lead in a Barbershop Quartet and Chorus for 24 years and when I hear Karen's voice it is really something special

I am not really caring what genre of music the Carpenters really is, folk/pop/country. it's beautiful. I wasn't even born in their generation, but my father was heavily into music, loved all kinds of music, glad he introduced me to music, giving me a great appreciation of music in all forms. I always will find the 70's most appealing to me.
