Love seeing young people find this incredible music.

[@Tessiefaye]

She evokes emotion on every song.

Thanks for the shout out, Ace! I was an odd teenager embracing Carpenters for their painfully sad lyrics, homogeneous harmonies and mellow pop arrangements. But this music touched my old soul at 17. Fun fact: this video was shot on the grounds of the Huntington Library and Japanese Gardens in San Marino/ Pasadena, CA. If you live in So. Cal, I highly recommend a visit, it's worth day trip. Keep em coming! ✌️ ☮️

Castanets. Yes, this has always been my favorite Carpenters song. All of them are amazing, but this one is especially great! I enjoy watching your reaction videos and I look forward to seeing more!

[@darcysalas3042]

Don't worry we all need each other. Amen.

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

I was fortunate to grow up with this enormously talented duo but it seems like " Only Yesterday ".

I loved The Carpenters, just genious & yet so long ago. It was so sad Karen died so young from anorexia nervosa. Such a special person, super contralto voice. Loved them SO MUCH!!! xx

[@susancrouthamel760]

I met Karen(sang n played the drums) n her brother played piano n keyboard n sang Harmony with Karen)Richard in 1978 n they were very friendly but Karen started to look sick. She died 1983 at 32 of heart failure due to anorexia that she suffered from for around 8 years It started after their managers told her she was gaining too much weight. ( skumbags) 2 other songs I love Close To You"n "Rainy Days and Mondays"

[@bonester50]

Here are a couple more songs to react to from Carpenters and the legendary Karen Carpenter and her genius brother Richard. They are "I Can Dream Can't I" And "You're The One.

[@user-dx3sq1ik2i]

From her very first notes she has always given me goose bumps. No other singer has had same effect on me. 75 yr old here , experienced all her songs. Can remember first time hearing one of her songs on car radio and having to get off road, stop and listen. Child of 60's here, I could not understand why she was often made fun of with other contemporary music (Rock etc). Another one I recommend is her version of "Don't Cry for me Argentina". Still makes me quasi faint listening to it.

[@jbs256]

Good job Ace! Yes, as much as I love the song I find it difficult to watch the video as she is so thin. A couple of tech notes, when you talk about harmony and layering of voices it was always Karen and Richard in studio, until Karen passed. Live in concert the band helped with the harmonies. When you talk about the sound and the wide array of musical instruments, that’s Richard. He was pure magic in making the musicality of Carpenters, outstanding. Not to mention his keyboards. Karen didn’t play as much on the drums as she wanted to but she did. It takes delving into the credits of each song or album. Hal Blaine (The Wrecking Crew) did the majority of drumming in studio. But Karen and Jim Gordon and a couple others did drums, too. As reference Karen drummed on album #1 “Offering/Ticket To Ride”) and “Now and Then” (except Jambalaya <Hal Blaine>). I made some song suggestions earlier and I hope you eventually get to them. I’m with you on “Now.” That’s a tough one for me too. 💔

[@scotmax8426]

Love the carpenters, Karen's voice was something else. A great reaction, cheers.

[@FUBAR1986]

Richard produced the music lyrics. Karen started as the drummer and they discovered her beautiful voice and eventually removed her from the drum set. Personally, I think that was a mistake. Maybe that’s why she was sad inside. I miss such beautiful music like this.🙏❤️
