The Carpenters are class pure and simple.... class ❤️ It ended when you said goodbye 💔😢

I was 13 when this album was realeased, i am 63 now and i still love this album

[@rickbell2697]

Wow.................just still amazing..................We miss you..........

[@eventidesj]

Best female vocalist ever !

[@MrRabson55]

This album was the main sound of the summer of :73 for me...

[@maxwellhouse1902]

I was a "closet" Carpenter's fan back in the day, but the number of Klipschorn loudspeakers she sold at the high end audio store I worked at part time back in the mid 70's was truly astonishing. The sales associate would welcome in a group of Doctors or Lawyers taking an extended lunch break to do some stereo shopping. In they would go to the closed door listening room and the first song the sales guy would play would be KAren singing the Leon Russel classic "This Masquerade". IT truly sounded like she was in the room with the listeners. More times than not they were headed to the cash register to order a pair of the "corner horns" and the electronics to go with the speakers. Certainly the greatest Alto of the 20th Century. Their music will live forever. God Bless the Carpenters!!

[@davidmcneill1483]

Karen and Richard Greatest team ever. Karen has a special place in heaven making so many people Happy with her music

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

Greatest team ever? John and Paul were good. Benny and Bjorn were very good too.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

And why put Benny and Bjorn over Carpenters and Beatles? Good question, here is THE answer. Benny and Bjorn(ABBA)wrote ALL of their songs,,,every damn one of them. Many of Beatles and Carpenters songs were covers. It is not a coincidence that Benny wrote all their songs from the keyboard. Benny never had a piano lesson either.

[@steveholder1956]

Miss you Karen !

[@Unknown-ln5ly]

I literally grew up to this album and I'm only 16. My parents would play the cassettes in our van when we would go on long car rides

[@wizenedoak5046]

I'm 27 and I grew up listening to this too! Took me forever to find this album though. So glad I did though! 😁

[@helnoftroy]

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes - luv this song!

[@libertelibre]

Splendid medley from the Carpenters.

What a great b side to a record

[@paladin0654]

Listening to "The End of the World" on my Koss phones in '72 would leave me in a melted puddle, on the floor....super natural notes by a one-of-a-kind voice. "Goodbye" Karen.

I think Skeeter Davis did the original back iin the early 60's TRivia.... Skeeter Davis is the answer to the question...." Who was the first Country singer to win a Grammy?

[@hresto1]

She had the voice of an angel.

[@davidnovakovich5583]

Karen is still the best female artist, and Richard’s arrangements and mixing were masterful!

[@tedharvick9010]

I saw the title, then saw and recognized the thumbnail, clicked immediately. My sister and I had this album. We knew all the words, even the "dj's". Thank you for sharing this.

[@rson1962]

I love this...Great music and beautiful music!!

[@carlosguilbert8878]

my father bought this album in 1973, since that year, when I was 11 years old I fell in love with Karen, I listened to the album several times just for Karen 🥰

[@ea3901]

Someone needs to make a comment since over 2 years ago !!!!!! This album should never be forgotten. Social media has take over and we get from female singers is high pitched scream (not blaming them but blaming the money making moguls). Her pure voice is a legacy that today's money makers have NO chance of repeating.

[@skierpage]

Come on. Adele and Beyonce are phenomenal singers, Katy Perry is solid, and season after season people you'll never hear of again belt out songs like there's no tomorrow on reality talent shows. The quality of vocalists today is really high, and they all record their own background harmonies as the Carpenters did ( because there's no money to hire top background vocalists for a session 😓). It is true that Autotune can make anyone sound weirdly decent, and the production choices producers make for pop records are often that weirdly out-of-tune rap-influenced whine. But the raw talent is assuredly there. What's missing is the deep dark blue background of sadness from which Karen Carpenter's voice springs! I have never heard it equaled.

[@armandtherrien3983]

Playing in a band touring Newfoundland when this came out....bitter sweet memories. Great to hear again.

[@thomasbeals2081]

Karen's Song Make Me Feel Like I'm A Kid Again & I Choke Up Still Today... It's Haunting That She's Been Gone For 35 Yrs & I Still Think Of Her & Get Choked Up... She Was A Beautiful Singer-songwriter; Still Is Even After She's Gone...

Karens voice will go on forever and ever so much passion in every word,such a talented lady and will go on to be,never forgotten

[@suffolkpompey]

I bought this on vinyl all those years ago, loved it then and still love it now in 2019. "Deeeeeaaaaad Maaaaans Cuuuuurrrrve".

[@ritashaw9660]

Gee, I was listening to this song when I came across your comment! I bought this on cassette tape! Lol.

[@skierpage]

14:42 guitarist Tony Peluso as the DJ "Mark Rudolph, you are WRONNNGGG! Urghlff" That kills me, Now & Then.

[@helgajudith]

I always liked this album!! Still do...2017~.

[@wishbonewingnut3403]

My dad had this on 8-track. I remember listening to it a lot on summer vacation in 1978.

[@joeburt1106]

Such a full, rich honey-sweet voice that loved the microphone and keeps the listener hanging on every note. No other voice comes close. Period.

[@bondoqbn7318]

Brilliant. RIP Karen Carpenter what a legend. We will all love her foreverer more.

[@jeannekelley1328]

Classic album..always a favorite. Never get tired of listening to this one.

[@mythicky]

God Bless Karen and Richard.

[@johnny5057]

My favourite Carpenters album. With the whole of one side devoted to this medley its a great reminder of the style and music of 1960's America. Takes me back to being a kid and being fed a diet of Bewitched, Mary Tyler Moor and Dick van Dyke on TV in the UK which America look so glamorous and grown-up.

[@s4lroachclip]

same here johnny5057, and happy days, lucy lenny, squiggy, L and shirley, beatles and jim croce...ear muffs and moonboots...soon after...

I actually have that album.

[@georgecuster7905]

Where was I when "The end of the world" was a hit? Singapore 1963 - treasured memories - that's where I met my wife - it seems like only yesterday. Married in 1966 and still together.

[@anthonylawrence60]

the reprise is just haunting .I played it at my wedding

[@phantombrakeman4983]

Karen is singing about my past jr. high and high school days. Oh those golden oldies!!

[@jamesmonroe7903]

I remember when I was in junior high in Ballwin MO(About 25 miles outside of St.Louis) I was a KSLQ(now Y-98 FM) listener and they played all the Top 40 hits and they also played what they called “Carpenters Collage” which turned out to be an edited version of this oldies medley-I thought this was a special record A&M made available only to radio stations-I never knew until I started streaming on YT that the unedited version was always on the “Now and Then” album-of course when this first came out I was a red-blooded teen male who DID NOT want anyone-especially my He-Man brothers-that I liked The Carpenters-because even then I knew that Karen sang better than most any other artist on wax back in the day-or that Richard was a better arranger-producer than just about any other 1970’s knob-twister!!! This medley is incredible-plus you get to hear Richard sing lead-he had a real decent voice too!!! And I ❤️the between-song monologue! So 1960’s Top 4O 📻 radio!!!

[@marvinlewis2144]

[@ritashaw9660]

@dan phillpotts I love '"This Masquerade" beautifully sung by Karen. They are for sure one of my favorite groups. I will check out Tony Bennett later on!!

[@martinkurtz9269]

Richard Carpenter should have convinced the A&M brass to make "One Fine Day" a single. I believe it would have been a hit.

[@JonHarrington9075]

Beautiful song

[@Vanguard11000]

The rich velvety tones of Karen's incredible voice is captivating and ageless, and she and Richard made this duo a massive hit in the 70's that still attracts a great following today. The incredible talent of the Carpenters is still being discovered today by a much younger generation who really appreciate the beauty of Karen's voice and the beautiful harmony which over dubbing created to make their music so perfect. Never a tone missed and no auto tuning surprises many of today's youth at the flawless quality of their music. I love to see the reactions of some KZbin users who listen in awe and comment on how wonderful this REAL music is. Absolutely amazing!

I have resisted listening to that medley for decades, because I was pretty sure I was going to hate it (I don't like medleys). But guess what, I loved it. Can't help wishing for a full version of "Our Day Will Come", though. It was perfect for her voice.

Karen Carpenter has the most angelic voice anyone ever had.

This song EXACTLY describes growing up in the AM Top 40 era. I was fortunate to have grown up listening to one of the top AM Top 40 stations ever--CKLW in Windsor/Detroit. Thanks for posting the complete medley!

[@roycato4382]

This has to be one of the greatest album cuts of all recorded music. It certainly is a favorite of mine, bringing back memories of the world of my childhood, before everything became so confusing. Back when music spoke to the very heart of the listener. Back before "rap" turned the culture into a "gansta' thug life" mentality.

Richard must have been so inspired by "the beach sounds" of the early 60s!

[@jos5ph]

a lot of people don't realize that is all Karen and Richard with over dubbing.. no Background singers...

[@pablomalaga4676]

I thought it was a bunch of background girls with a voice very similar to Karen´s

That reprise at the end is amazing. If there was an entire song like that I would listen repeatedly. Can someone isolate it and extend it a bit and post it? I don't know how to do that stuff.

[@s4lroachclip]

Favorite LP I ever had. I knew the leader of the pack was familiar, it is the same song musically really as deadmans curve which came out about a year earlier despite both being credited as 1964. The original deadmans curve was 63, but officially feb 64 a new version. leader of the pack was late in 64. Thanks for this upload was a nice memory to be reminded of.

[@anitabreakone]

33 1/3 LP, I remember it well. Just about wore this one out.

[@gmpeacock4349]

2021 and still going strong. When this album came out it was played over and over and each word of the lyrics was repeated and the best part ... "Where were you when this song was No 1" Still has the same impact.

[@765ketyjo]

Not heard this medley of songs for a number of years now. I got the original LP and played it to death virtually. All these years later it still astounds that Karens voice and Richards production could produce such a magical 20 minutes. Her voice is so rich on every track. The finale ONE FINE DAY and Johnny Angel the stand outs for me. Absolutely brilliant and its never dated one little bit.

[@aminotmerciful2814]

What a masterful arrangement of the oldies with such great, fun stuff. I well remember the days when DJs would play that jumbled mix of voices. Hilarious. The rich harmonies just can't be beat. And then Karen's closing piece "When I was young I'd listen.. " with the reverb echo of "so fine" just gives me goosebumps.
