[@HLG1962]

Angelic timbre!

[@fabricioalves928]

The Voice perfect

[@kary697]

I love your channel and you won me as a subscriber, I adore your comments

[@dudinh4h]

Hi Frank! You dont have Idea how The Carpenters are important to me. I grew up listenning them, I learned English with their songs (like Sing and Mr. Postaman), I passed through cirurgy and I used to listen Carpenters to help me to get better. Im Just 28, and my Love for this band is huge ❤ thanks, from Brazil, from ur Crazy fan 😁😂😗

[@GS-xt8fu]

A terrible eating disorder took her away from us. What a voice.

[@lorenzosanchez6543]

One of the greatest voices ever , silenced too soon . RIP Karen . Greetings & hugs from Texas !

[@branco44444444]

Hi dear Frank. Karen sung many marvelous song with her unique voice (in my opinion, her voice is the best sound that our God gave us until now), and for that reason i could advise you many and many titles. But if you want to understand even better how special was her magic, please listen (and enjoy!) her version of Dont' Cry For Me Argentina. It is an endless emotion.

[@ChuckHackney]

Karen's voice is spiritual. Takes you to anothrr dimension of existence...ethereal I think is the best word.

[@javiermgtaoism5702]

You are already hooked on the Carpenters. They were an authority of their own.

[@chiyohanson4332]

They're r classic now. I wish I could sing Alto that well. ☹️ Hi Frank!🙋🏻‍♀️😘

[@lelekira]

Frank, I have to say that I love this opening and your Fidel Castro's beard style.. and these videos of Carpenters are the best .. I'm a Carpenters' fan since my childhood .. Thank you very much.

[@ryanlowry5409]

Its the early days homey

[@stevenbrock3082]

Watch the live performances

[@deliuslyndon8340]

This particular video clip has an early fade; the actual tracks ends less abruptly.

[@judywalker1505]

Voice from heaven.Chilling.Took it for granted- shame on me.

[@vickysmith7644]

Karen and her brother Richard were the best! Her voice and his musical arrangements and his backup vocals made them the best!

[@heron6764]

A gift to the world...

[@karend169]

I grew up listening to the Carpenters. I can't hear their music anymore, without feeling sad. The purest voice.

[@suzannewright4794]

Men wore pastel sports coats in those days. My husband had a pale blue one. He wore it on our honey moon. He was so handsome I have pictures of us together. Ah sweet memories

[@byzinski]

One of the PUREST female singing voices 🎤🎶😌💕 My number 1 favorite female singer of all time (in my 60 years of listening 👂 to music) FRANK SINATRA once said that Karen Carpenter was the only singer he would pay money to hear sing.

[@jimsmith8435]

Thank you. Your words speak truth.

[@maryellenbarak3946]

I recently heard that when she recorded a song she did almost every one in only one take. They called her “one take Karen”. What a truly remarkable voice that was gone way too soon.

[@scottysworld700]

it was the 70s. 1972

[@RBNightlinger]

That's the 70s,baby! The colors, fashion, hair styles... a true time capsule in this video. And, of course, Karen's voice. Oh, what a voice she had!

[@caretaker158]

She could convey so much emotion, and such yearning with that voice of hers. Oh to think of what could have been. She still looked good in this video. Some of her last ones.... you can really see the anorexia take it's toll. Never seemed to affect her voice though. Saddest thing is, she was working on recovery and rehab from the anorexia but the damage was already done and that big, beautiful heart of hers just couldn't take it.

[@gh9111]

Try "Solitaire" by the Carpenters .

[@outofme1576]

Please do The Carpenters "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "Song For You". Thank you.

[@golddredgewater]

Thank you for listening to her

[@johnniecurrie5038]

Her voice sends me to a wonderful place

[@fdsannie]

I have always loved her voice............ :-)

[@tedharvick9010]

Thanks for reacting to this, Frank. And a big howdy from Oklahoma

[@alfredtoyo5433]

One of the most iconic voices

[@Melbnolan]

Wings of Pegasus reacts to Karen Carpenter live performance.....her voice defies description in a live performance.

[@rachellyadao531]

❤️❤️❤️ your reactions!! Please react to Journey

[@jimcarlson6157]

I'm an old timer who loved Karen but could never admit it to my tough buddies, who were likely closeted fans. I only ever cried when she and Lennon passed

[@veronicaperezferegrino8482]

Close to you, my favorite song of them.

[@rhill109]

Richard is playing a Wurlitzer electric piano @ 3:11.

[@LubaFan]

Yes. He did play around with synthesizers later on, notably in the songs "Happy" (1975) and "(Want You) Back In My Life" (1981), but in this video he's definitely playing a Wurly. 🥰

[@kikegalo6154]

Frank! You should analyze GOODBYE TO LOVE by The Carpenters. It is interesting as it was one of the first power ballads, that is, a ballad that has an electric guitar solo as part of the song. In its time it was super revolutionary and the guitarist is none other that Tony Peluso, who later became a great music producer.

[@76006linda]

The other voice you hear is the brother. He sings along with her in parts of the song.

[@eliasvandenbroeck4577]

Thank You x Have a nice day Frank

[@margaridatrigueiros3237]

Karen was also an acomplished drummer. You should react to her drumming solo aswell as "Rainy days and Mondays"! Thanks!

[@TheGoldbaxter]

Try to react to some of the songs she's playing the drums on, talk about talent!

[@TammyGrosso]

You are correct with the overdubbing. They are the first to make it known to bring this to main stream music, and made it commonly used in music. Richard got the idea for Overdubbing when he was about 6 yrs old, while listening to Les Paul & Mary Ford. Here are 3 videos where this is explained. The first is from one of their concerts in the 1970's, wear Richard explains it, using the woo woo woa part of "Do you know the way to San Jose", and Karen and the other band members singing it. The Carpenters - Richard explains overdubbing- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWbId3idm7efn8k The second is from a BBC radio documentary about the life of Karen Carpenter called KAREN CARPENTER DOCUMENTARY. it is a long interview about her life. But at 18:00 they discuss Karen's upbringing with music, and who they listened to. Richard then discusses their love of Les Paul & Mary Ford, and overdubbing. KAREN CARPENTER DOCUMENTARY- kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn_JZoGHmLCrmck And the last video is from April 2019, when a Carpenters Historian discussed this concept, using We've Only Just Begun with a 16 track. He has 1 track of their voices, then double track, and then triple track, and final sound. Explaining the Carpenters' vocal "sound" [We've Only Just Begun]- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iISZoXyhfq6gqa8

[@graveseeker]

Bringing back a lot of very pleasant memories, Frank. Loving it!

[@LawrenCharles]

We professional arrangers call it emotional contour where we take you on an emotional ride

[@evanhorton2520]

Often more than two tracks...

[@cstroppa20]

The Carpenter's have many beautiful songs. I love them.

[@harrydecker8731]

If you haven't already, check out this video from a live performance of Karen singing "Say Goodbye to Love." kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKDSloCoeNymY6M Despite the beautiful melody and arrangement, this is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. What makes this video even sadder for us older people who grew up watching The Carpenters, Karen's weight loss is quite noticeable. To compare, watch her sing "Top of The World" in a live performance some years prior, and you can see she looks terrific. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJK2hoJpr8-hm6M

[@britsluver]

I love you Frank. I love Karen Carpenters yaaas to this bop xxx

[@britsluver]

Next please do all we get from love is a love song x

[@britsluver]

Also there’s no tambourine when the dudes banging it in this mix

[@britsluver]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2S7mJ1oiMdjaq8 x

[@davidleland8729]

It was the 70's! Those were great times, music and memories! Enjoyed your reaction! Peace, Love & Light my friend! Namaste

[@ilovesuisse1]

The hairstyles and clothing, typically 1970’s.

[@marujo777]

and also "For all we know".

[@rmac1042]

Probably a Fender-Rhodes keyboard...

[@DougRayPhillips]

I appreciate your work.

[@AS-zk6hz]

She had one of the best voices ever. Why did she die so young. Didn't anyone care about her. How about a super intervention. What were her parents and brother doing. On her last concerts she was skin and bones. She belonged in a hospital. She was only 32 when she passed. So sad she had a certain sadness in her beautiful voice. Loved her she was great

[@OHsopositive]

Hardly anyone knew about anorexia then. Her death brought it more into the public light. 😞

[@sonnyjames8922]

I loved this song, too, the first time I heard it. It has all the ingredients you speak of. It was written in 1965, recorded by the Carpenters in 1971, and was on their 1972 album A SONG FOR YOU. It was one of their five U.S. #2's. Most of their singles were about 3 minutes, rather short, but had to be like that to get serious radio airplay at the time. I recommend "Desperado" from their 1975 album HORIZON.

[@brendastopek2694]

Her voice was one of a kind. Pure perfection.

[@angievivien]

Karen has of of the best voices ever... and she is very emotional too... it's really sad she left us so soon. Please react to " nineteen hundred and eighty five" by Paul McCartney and Wings. 🙏🙏

[@AlessandraBonadonna]

La voce di questa donna è poesia...dolcissima seppur triste 💔

[@Caprizonica]

Karen Carpenter, once of my favorite voices ever. There was this Mexican singer, Estela Nunez, who had similar voice qualities,(crystal cear voice, emotive, perfect pitch), as Karen, perhaps, even better. Check her out live with very popular bolero "Odiame" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZu7i2eplsl2oqc

[@scottdetter]

It’s a Rhodes.

[@venyimira1382]

Gracias Frank , muchísimas gracias por deleitarnos con estás canciones tan maravillosas !!!

[@porflepopnecker4376]

KZbin reactors need to start listening to their first album, "Offering", which they did before the record company turned them into hitmakers and they were still doing their own experimental stuff.

[@dpavlina13]

Much of the "doubling" you hear is her brother Richard singing with her. They had very similar vocal qualities.

[@beanyboomer5391]

Thank you dpavlina. When I heard him say "doubling" I almost fell over in my chair!!

[@dinodasbunce6224]

I have not seen a reaction anywhere yet to 'Bless the Beasts and the Children' by the Carpenters. It was nominated for a 1972 Academy Award for Best Song for the movie "Bless the Beasts and the Children".

[@Coupydog]

Yes please!!! 😎😍😀

[@blemelin]

NOT a moog. Just an electric piano.

[@dfo132]

blemelin Looks like an electric in the video, but sure sounds like just a plain ol’ piano.

[@zigman8550]

She looks so pretty in this video.

[@debbiechang5781]

Karen was also an amazing drummer. There are some great examples of that online.

[@GS-xt8fu]

When people wrote, sang and played their own music

[@LubaFan]

This one was written in 1965 by Gary Geld and Peter Udell. Richard said he was inspired to record it after hearing the version by Ruby And The Romantics.

[@violetenergy4392]

😍😍😍👍👍👍💯🙏

[@nunya9540]

The 5th Dimension are really groovy too!

[@judywalker1505]

Check out her song Superstar.Uses all of the 9 octaves of her voice.

[@Lindsay1581]

You should hear their cover of 'Ticket to Ride.' The Beatles are my favorite group ever-but she sings it soooo beautifully.

[@rzthis1]

In my opinion Karen's vocal tone is still the best of all time! Consider turning up the volume on the viewers end, I had to turn every level to 10 just to hear you and the music. That makes the next video painful to the ears. Peace!!☮

[@TheXinver]

Hi, Karen was a goddes. She was one of the best drummers in those years. You should check the duett Karen - Ella Fitzgerald, she was really sick ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnXTapVvmr6igq8

[@heatherbolick72]

I really love your reactions, I also love those seventies clothes!! The Carpenters are in a league of their own.

[@kathrynjarlov5166]

She was probably under 20 years old at this time. I like the contrast of the mature - voice verses and then 60's girl group sound of the chorus.

[@marujo777]

Take "This masquerade". One of the best Carpenters songs.

[@allanrose2964]

The moog! Great synth precursor!

[@patriciarp9686]

Anyone who doesn't like Carpenters must have a problem. Karen's voice is that of angels.

[@hiseagle]

I once had a boyfriend who thought Karen was "too sugar sweet". Well, Darrell, I happen to love the Carpenters...so get over it and refine your musical tastes.

[@johnandrews3151]

Carpenters/Ticket To Ride

[@TheKariLP]

Y éste tema es una belleza Rainy days and mondays kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpupoISun8yVqNU

[@Truthteller58]

You should also listen to "Superstar" & "For All We Know" & "Goodbye To Love" Thank You

[@damienroberts934]

As well as proably the two best known and most loved Carpenters songs... here are the best videos of them (each with 20+ million views) . Would be great to hear what you think. "we've only just begun" kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZC5gotojdNqqqs and "rainy days and mondays" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpupoISun8yVqNU Cheers.

[@stephenulmer3781]

Where are you from my friend? You have the coolest accent ☺

[@MikeGarland22]

Look at The Seekers- I'll never find another you. Judith Durham is another one with a great voice!

[@Highinsight7]

check out one of their less popular tunes called "Until Now"... you'll FREAK OUT!!!!!

[@jenniferanne8338]

Listen to “Now”

[@cstroppa20]

React The Carpenter's singing I need to be in love. I love this music.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Her favorite Carpenter's song.

[@damienroberts934]

Hey Frank - you haven't done probably the two best known and most loved Carpenters songs... here are the best videos of them. Would be great to hear what you think. "we've only just begun" kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZC5gotojdNqqqs and "rainy days and mondays" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpupoISun8yVqNU Cheers.

[@rhwinner]

Eva Cassidy, please...

[@lorenzosanchez6543]

Frank , could you react to Diana Ross & The Supremes singing the Beatles' song " Yesterday " , Live .

[@dianamgallagher]

For a more mature song, try "Masquerade" it is a remake, but really a deep, haunting sound and done during a time when Karen was in a lot of emotional pain.

[@CharlieMcowan]

Karen's voice at higher pitches was good but unremarkable. At lower registers, magical. Goodbye to Love is not only an excellent example of that but also Toni Peluso's perfect solo...

[@cwcroswell]

Not sure if you are aware of the fact that they are brother and sister.. Richard and Karen Musical genius’s!! 🎼✌️❤️

[@saulurielmartinezlopez101]

Una voz hermosa la de Karen

[@williamjordan5554]

Carpenters, ABBA. Bee Gees. Three bands many people are embarrassed to admit they like because the music isn't cool/hip.

[@dinodasbunce6224]

All three of those are among my favorite artists. For me Karen is the greatest female vocalist with the ladies of ABBA just a hair below her. Frida's voice was the closest to Karen's but was not quite as rich and deep. Frida is a mezzo soprano and Karen was a contralto.

[@williamjordan5554]

@@dinodasbunce6224 I love Abba, but I wouldn't put their singers above Ann Wilson, Whitney Houston, Linda Ronstadt, Ann Murray, or Pat Benatar.

[@David_Theisen]

I don’t care what people think is cool! I like all 3 bands u mentioned! Corey Taylor of a Slipknot says he likes ABBA!!

[@jbs256]

Sigh, yes some of the songs are too short, we want more. On the other side your reaction to Close to You cut the song short, it has a false ending and comes back with a flourish. It goes both ways. LOL I don’t see your reaction to Rainy Days and Mondays. Im linking the video of the song not a concert version. It’s just so beautiful and perfect. There’s also something going on here in this song I don’t think, I may be wrong, that you’ve discovered yet or reacted to. I think upon watching it, you’ll discover something you may not have known. Just keep your eyes on the screen… kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpupoISun8yVqNU
