Herb Alpert and the Carpenters (from Herb Alpert Is...)

[@geraldcroft9020]

When I first heard that song I fell in love I didn’t care what she looked like, I was listening to an angel and I would’ve given anything to be with her, hearing this song again still brings me chills and I’m 70.

Thank you Herb. God bless you.

We took the Carpenters so much for granted at the time. There was so much brilliance musically, just everywhere. But the songs..and her sublime voice stayed with you. Once heard, never forgotten. Instant classics.

Herb, Karen & Richard. All huge parts of the soundtrack of our lives. Brilliance & the voice of an angel.

Artists such as Herb, The Carpenters and a few others are God’s gifts to Humanity.

The Carpenters Close to You is a song that just wasn't heard when it came out, it was in some strange way etched across the soul. Even today when I hear it the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Wow, and hits you did have….you went down in history (and present) as three of the best!! Thank you, Herb Alpert!!

[@lsimmons3086]

When she starts on the drums in Close to You and she’s singing…still gives me chills. Nothing like it.

Thank you, Herb Alpert, for giving The Carpenters that incredible break with "Close to You" and the rest is music history! We miss your sweet voice. Karen! ♥🎹🎵🥁🎧🎼🎤♥

Herb is one of a kind. Musical and recording genius.

I watched this doc on Peacock while going though COVID in Feb '23, it was the medicine that I needed to get me better. Also: The world needs more Randy "Badazz" Alpert!!

About 7 years ago on CBS sunday morning show Herb was interviewed about his business and talking about this artist and that one! Then the Carpenters came up in the discussion and Herb started talking about them and eventually said Karen didn't realize how many people in the world loved her! What he said literally hit me in the gut! He paused for a view moments put his head down and didn't say a word as he was still emotionally affected by her passing so many years before! A touching emotional moment for Herb and for all of us who were watching television that day as we were crying watching this precious moment on tv! I think Herb Albert is a really nice man! And ANYONE WHO WATCHED THIS EPISODE ON CBS THIS MORNING WOULD AGREE!

[@StockDude]

How phenomenal is this story? WOW!

[@demah8655]

Had such a crush on him. I love his song " This Guys In Love With You".

[@guillermojacques6671]

The Carpenters are criminally under appreciated.
