FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Valley Oaks & Simi Valley (Karen Carpenter, Ronald Reagan, etc.)

[@kathyo9420]

Karen singing "Superstar" is chill inducing even now. Perfection.

[@DerekWitt]

That is my favorite song of hers. ❤️

[@Kuulei265]

And it’s hard to sing that first note. I heard that she never hit a wrong note. Well I’ve had my share!! The Carpenters were one of my favorite groups. I mourned the loss of her life.

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Rest In Peace Karen Anne Carpenter March 2, 1950-February 4, 1983 A Star On Earth A Star In Heaven.

Hi

[@heididietrich9800]

She really did.

[@jakew.5883]

Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest singers (and drummer) of the 20th century. She is greatly missed; I'm glad you visited her final resting place.

[@kezzaa0049]

i still tear up about Karen Carpenter...she was so beautiful and her voice was unbelievable

[@bdflatlander]

What happened to Karen Carpenter was so sad and took away from the world an incredibly beautiful voice at the very young age of 32. I hope she is at peace now.

[@MinnieWhite-nf9ip]

Amen

[@ewaleokadia76]

It is too bad that Karen Carpenter's tragic death brought to light that one cannot only treat anorexia nervous, but the psychology of what leads to anorexia nervous in the first place.

[@itwasthecatsfault5422]

Every time I hear Karen Carpenter I get chills! I don’t think we will ever get someone that sounds like her again! God bless

[@melissaupton2097]

I still get goosebumps when I hear Karen Carpenter sing... even just a snippet...

[@Europa1749]

Karen Carpenter's voice is like no others.

[@vettahuff5563]

Europa 17 I totally agree !

[@susanleitch8649]

Certainly unique. You know it's her after the first word she sings.

[@wcaddey]

She was a favorite singer that I imitated when I was a little girl in the 70's. Glad she was mentioned, but was sad when she died.

[@patcurrie9888]

The best range of all female singers, low alto to high soprano. Check out the Carpenter's Christmas Portrait CD. The best Christmas album of all time.

[@annetteslife]

I agree. I was ten years old when she was taken away tragically and way too soon and way too young.

What a voice. During the 70's her song "We've Only Just Begun" was played at almost every graduation ceremony.

[@lovemrj4ever]

David Kupferman most beautiful voice Ever. 💖🌟

[@patcurrie9888]

What a voice! Rosemary Clooney, Patsy Cline, Karen, Whitney Houston and Adele, the top 5 of all time! Sorry Barbara, Mariah and Celine you didn't make the cut, for limited range and bigger egos than talent.

[@ubroberts5541]

Greta For sure. Male or female she had the most soothing and strongest angel voice on earth. One of a kind and a great loss for all of us. Not exaggerating!

[@8jpfrancisco]

Starting 14:10 Karen's voice tops everything else on this video! Thank you for your kind words to Karen, Arthur! She is missed.

[@mostafasultan9028]

I didnt imagine that America cemeteries were THAT beautiful. Some are real masterpieces of architecture. Your work is Great and worthy of praise and respect.

[@fyrequeene]

Welcome back! A small story: After Ronald Reagan lay in state at the Capitol, his body was flown back to California in a 747 whose route took it on a very circuitous path across the United States (think sine wave vs. straight line), essentially trying to fly over as many states as possible before reaching his final resting place. A very 21st Century kind of farewell...I was an air traffic controller at the time, and got to monitor the jet as it passed through my airspace. Also, Artie Shaw's version of "Begin the Beguine" is, in my very humble opinion, one of the best Big band recordings ever. thank you for honoring him here.

[@forthwithtx5852]

Two things I like most about this channel are the historical flashbacks of people we brought into our homes and hearts and the reminder that in the end, we are all just human.

[@ayakotami3318]

I miss Karen and the Reagan's even now. Karen especially because of her beautiful voice and songs. She's still one of my favorite Singers to this day. And Reagan starred in some of my favorite movies and his witty humor. . .especially his one liners that has me cracking up! I listen to then whenever I needed a cheer up.

[@lovinmytunes05]

Wonderfully done, Sir. These videos absolutely break my heart. Karen Carpenter's story rips me apart. Gone way too soon. Such a mindless tragedy.

[@sc8307]

Though her story is heartbreaking, many lives have been saved because of her death. Hardly anyone had heard of anorexia at the time. Her death brought it to the mainstream. I will be forever grateful that she and Richard made so many wonderful songs together while she was still with us.

[@kmp8985]

Rest In Peace, Karen. The most beautiful voice I have ever heard ❤️

[@lovemrj4ever]

KM agree

[@patcurrie9888]

Indeed. The Christmas Portrait CD shows her voice and Richards arrangements to a T.

[@Jean_François911]

Karen's music's never be gone

Karen Carpenter... what an extraordinary Lady... died too soon. Unforgotten. She's my Idol because of her friendly and warm-hearted being. Thank you, Karen. You brought so much joy to so many people. You are missed.

[@kimma508]

I love your videos! Thank you so much for creating them and for educating us as well. The Carpenter mausoleum is beautiful. It’s a fitting tribute to such an amazing singer. Seeing where President and Mrs. Reagan rest was very nice. A piece of the Berlin Wall definitely deserved to be placed with President Reagan.

[@edithfisher4098]

Karen Carpenter, among the greatest femail singers of all time. Great video thank you so much.

[@jasonlawrence8450]

Valley Oaks is where "My Three Sons" actor Don Grady (Agrati) was cremated. Don, who played Robbie Douglas, was also on the Mousketeers and was a gifted composer who wrote the theme song for Phil Donahue's talk show. Don passed after a battle with bone cancer in 2012. Sadly there is no marker. He will forever be remembered as America's favorite son.

[@WendyCR72]

And his sister was Lani O'Grady (Agrati), who played Mary Bradford on "Eight Is Enough". She died at only 47 in 2001 due to alcoholism.

[@wardharrah55]

I'm a Big Band Era enthusiast, and I just want to say Thank You for always including these iconic musicians and band leaders in your videos! Because of people like you their memories and legacy's will live on...Thank You!!!

[@psychcorp4449]

I only have one thing to say: Thank God for Arthur Dark! I missed the music, the great photography, the superb, informative narratives, and the sound of Arthur Dark's voice. Arthur makes it look so easy with respect to producing these videos. Of course, it is always great talent and tremendous dedication which makes it look so easy. Thank you so much.

[@cherrybomb9671]

Absolutely love Karen Carpenter such a beautiful soul inside and out - and that voice wow!!! Taken from us so young, hope she’s at rest now

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

Reagan was the first president that I watched being inaugurated. His speach "Tear down this wall" still gives me the chills.

[@daf62757]

RR was the very first presidential candidate I even voted for in the 1976 Nebraska primary. He won Nebraska as I remember but lost the primary. I have always admired him for his conservative perspectives.

[@BelievingRebel]

Welcome back from the Zone! Like so many others, I was delighted to see a new installment. Thank you for visiting Karen Carpenter’s grave. She had one of the most beautiful voices in music. The visit to the Reagan Library was informative. I especially like the panel of the Berlin Wall enshrined there. Keep up the good work ... and stay cool! 😁

[@laurenklatman6918]

I absolutely adore your voice and knowledge!! Thanks for bringing us these wonderful videos!! ❤️❤️❤️ Karen Carpenter and the Reagans ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Pokyhawk]

Rafael Campos ( 3:51 ) was one of my favorite character actors. My two favorite performances (please don't make me choose which one is #1) is his big screen debut in 1955 as Pete V. Morales in "Blackboard Jungle" and in 1979 as Nacho Gomez in the TV miniseries "Centennial" based on the novel by James A. Michener. Both outstanding performances from this great actor. R.I.P. Rafael and thank you. You are missed greatly 😢.

I hadn't learned about your channel at the time this video was published, but I am so grateful you did an episode with Karen Carpenter. I've seen so many documentaries about The Carpenters, but not one of them (that I've seen) has shown her final resting place. It just dawned on me that you may have visited it in one of your episodes. You did! And I sincerely thank you for that. :D

One of my favorite singers & one of the only ones I can sing along with because her voice was lower . . . a contralto or an alto I think?

[@melineechristine]

@@karenhenry1233 Contralto. Some are alto notes but she can really hit those very low notes with clarity and precision.

[@PerAllwin1963]

Karen Carpenter’s voice is so instantly recognizable. As soon as you hear her sing, you’re captivated by her perfect tone, her crystal clear articulation of the lyrics. Arguably the best female pop vocalist of all time.

Thanks again, Arthur, for another great guided tour. I remember the Carpenters and their great music from the 1970s and the day Karen Carpenter passed. So tragic. As you noted, she was buried in Forest Lawn Cypress initially, where my father-in-law is interred. He is across the road from an early rocker, Eddie Cochran, who did "Summertime Blues" among others.

Such well made, respectful and classy videos Arthur thank you for making them to share with the world.

Ronald Goldman was waiter, and unfortunately a murder victim, whose only connection to celebrity is that his accused murderer was OJ Simpson. His inclusion wouldn't be an appropriate addition to this video series.
