IS SHE AN ANGEL? CARPENTERS “We’ve Only Just Begun” Reaction

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm diving into the wonderful world of classic music with a timeless gem - "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. I can't tell you how excited I am to listen to this iconic song, so let's get right into it!

[@bonester50]

Karen Carpenter is the only female vocalist whose voice can literally bring me to tears. She's completely in a class all her own. Her personality is beyond compare. It took myself 50 years to realise I missed the boat.She is Only 20 years old here. Welcome to the Karen Carpenter fan club and what a great reaction.

[@edwardstowers7272]

I agree. I still get goosebumps at her voice and I’ve been listening at least 50 years.

[@lynnecurrie7561]

Karen the GOAT!! Simply effortless. They called her One Take Karen. She is an angel now, unfortunately. RIP Karen ❤❤❤

[@notablindliberal896]

Honestly, she had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my life.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with the Carpenters' music. Karen was one of a kind. There will never be another like her. She had such a pure calming voice. And she was a terrific drummer. That was her passion even more than singing. Sadly we lost her so young. Thankfully we have her legacy left in her music. The Carpenters had so many great songs such as "Superstar", "For All We Know", "Goodbye To Love", "Top Of The World", "Sing", "Yesterday Once More", "I Won't Last A Day Without You", "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday", "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over the World)", "I Need To Be In Love" & so many more.

And how about “close to you”? Will always be my favorite. Bothers me still the way she died.

[@kelleykaro4121]

When she died, her brother Richard said "The world has lost the voice of an angel, but I lost my best friend"

[@littleogeechee223]

No one could have sung this except her. This was a song written by Paul Williams for a bank advert, I think. Richard Carpenter, envisioning an arrangement and how it would sound with Karen’s voice behind it, immediately got in touch with Paul Williams and said, “Please! Please! Tell me this is an entire song!!” It was and became one of the most beloved and popular wedding songs of all time.

[@JohnnyHector17]

Richard Carpenter was a genius producer. Loved their beautiful music, it still gives me goosebumps.

[@johnparker8588]

Yes give Richard credit for knowing how to do the arrangement that makes this song snd all of their songs unforgettable!!

[@ChicagoDB]

It actually wasn't an entire song - he said yes and then wrote the rest.

[@roniboyd613]

Karen always considered herself a drummer who sings. This will be an awesome journey😊

[@stevenagle7293]

And considered one of the best drummer out there at the time. People fail to remember this because of her voice and monsterous arrangements. Just like many guitarists would tell you Glen Campbell was considered among them at the time as one of the best. He just was so handsome and such a great singer nobody paid attention to his skill in that area.

[@kirkhassett8726]

It’s no exaggeration at all, to include Karen Carpenter among the greatest vocalists of the 20th Century. Her tragic passing at the age of 32 brings tears to this day. ❤

[@aandpman]

When I was young in the 70's & 80's, this song must have been played at 80% of the weddings I attended. Karen truly was a gift to us all. There's so little emphasis on beauty in music in this day & age. Carpenters are like a breath of sweet mountain air. Loved your reaction.

[@stevelambert6404]

This was everyone's wedding song for a decade

[@soniakellogg3871]

You're right. She had an incredible voice!! Could listen to her all day. Her main passion was playing the drums, but her brother (singing with her and playing the piano, as well as doing most of the arranging of their songs). after much coaxing, talked her into singing. She does play the drums and sing on a couple of their songs. Enjoy your reactions.

[@garyjohnson9353]

Anything Karen Carpenter sang was gold. She was just that good. You will enjoy going down this rabbit hole.

[@xbubblehead]

The Carpenters had many hits and you can have a lot of enjoyment going through their catalog. Karen had one of those voices that hits us deep inside.

[@firefighterchick]

They were an incredibly huge band and she will always have legendary status. Such a beautiful voice, musical talent and person. An angel voice hid dark internal demons that took her life at such a young age. That's what makes this song haunting in a way.

[@michaelasay8587]

Her Mother is to blame....

[@bbwng54]

@@michaelasay8587 I agree since her mother favored Richard over her. What I also wonder (I have not seen anyone say this) how much Richard shares in the blame- not in an intentional or malicious way, but his ambition to get her as the front singer from the group, drive to produce so much music, touring, etc that it took an emotional toll on her.

[@tomschmitz-dj1fg]

"superstar", "for all we know", "bless the beasts and the children", "solitaire", "merry christmas darling", "close to you", "only yesterday", "yesterday once more", "hurting each other", "make believe it's your first time", "Now", the list goes on and on...

So many good songs. Karen's voice, Richard's musical arrangements are brilliant. It is a shame she was only here a short time. Truly, a voice of an angel.

The purest most beautiful voice of all time,Karen's an absolute legend and a fabulous drummer too!

[@viviennepastor3188]

I get chills when I hear her voice. She is definitely an angel.

[@markbelcher2972]

I was a young boy when I first heard The Carpenters, and I was amazed and inspired by her voice. Many years later I actually saw her angelic face and learned the tragic story of her eating disorder that cost her (and the world) her life. I’ve found myself wishing sometimes that I’d been born earlier and could have found her and somehow helped her to love herself as much as the rest of us loved her. But sadly, all we have left are her songs. And those are so beautiful that they make my eyes well with tears when I hear them. The world is a better place because Karen Carpenter sang to us.

[@jeffmorse645]

That originally was written for a TV commercial for Crocker Bank in California (which no longer exists). I remember seeing it when I was a kid like around 1970/1971. Then the Carpenters recorded it and it became a hit.

[@george217]

You can actually find the commercial on KZbin...

[@user-iw2dl1ko3w]

There's at least 50 more that are all gems. Anything Karen sang is wonderful. Try Yesterday Once More, Solitaire, Top Of The World. My personal favorite is Only Yesterday. For some real hidden gems there is I Believe You or One More Time. There is a reason why millions of people consider her the best female vocalist of all time.

[@crystalthomashKC]

Best female vocalist of all time. I idolized her as a teen. Voice of an angel.

[@susanengland3919]

This was played for a LOT of weddings when it first came out.

[@jamesfish2177]

I was little when The Carpenters were big. She suffered from Anorexia. When she passed away from it, I was suffering from Anorexia. Unknown to my parents, I was 14 years old, and due to the style at the time, everything being big and baggy, I was able to hide it. When my mother noticed how thin I was it scared her to death, because hearing about it in news when Karen Carpenter passed away, nobody knew what it was. It was a long road, many more pound lost, before I was able to overcome the one thing she couldn't. RIP Karen....beautiful song. Thanks for the reaction.

[@1960aragorn]

She’s an angel and was called back to heaven much too soon!

Superstar is the epitome of their work. She was a gift and I lament her loss even to this day. That voice is simply inimitable.

“Ordinary Fool,” you won’t get often requested but Karen again makes it a masterpiece with that perfect angelic voice. And for different twist Bossa Nova style “This Masquerade,” unbelievable!

[@robinbond7878]

For those of us that grew up in California, we all heard this sing first as a Crocker Bank commercial that can still be found on KZbin. I was surprised shortly after that to hear the Carpenter’s singing it and turning it into a hit!

[@lonniekay3506]

It was my honor to see the Carpenters in concert twice, and they were both memorable. The first time, they were fairly new to scene, but massively popular. The second time was just as good, but Karen was already sick. Two suggestions: Listen to her “Song for You”, and pull up the video of Karen on the drums. She is among the best of all performers.

[@michaelasay8587]

Loñnie what years did you see her? Me in 74...the only good thing my parents did for me and my sister.

[@ZojjaUniquelyYou]

They've been trying for decades to find someone as wonderful with her type of voice. Can't find that person.

[@craigh.9810]

Her type of voice. That person exists. Her name is Tori Holub. She’s as close as you can get without a reincarnation of Karen herself. But, let’s be realistic. There will never be another Karen, so there will never be anyone as wonderful. However, I’m glad that there’s someone with her type of voice. I hope someone will write original music for her in the Carpenter’s style. There’s obviously a demand for it.

[@bobhoffman9848]

"Rainy Days and Mondays" is my favorite Carpenters song.

[@Perfect_Blend]

This was not live, but lip synched to the studio recording. To see something live, try the "Burt Bacharach & Hal David Medley" on The Ed Sullivan Show-1970. It's so wonderful to watch Karen playing her drums and singing, and brother Richard at the electric piano. They were amazingly good live.

I love the Carpenters just because they're awesome but also there's so much nostalgia in their music! My mom loved them so I can never hear them without thinking of mom❤ We lost her to breast cancer 8 years ago

[@johnthegreek5836]

She definitely had a unique and beautiful voice, I was a teenager when The Carpenters were popular but as punk boys we never admitted we liked The Carpenters but we knew all the words and since I’m older I definitely appreciate their music so much more

[@johnparker8588]

Boy I would put them in my tape player when I was on a date and when we would often park in a secluded spot their music made everything perfect.

[@williamsmith-kd4bd]

Karen is the most talented woman in the history of pop music! And to top that off she was as cool a person as there ever has been. If you react to "superstar" you will be broken, unable to comprehend that something so divinely beautiful is coming from a supposed mortal! All i can say is good luck to you.

This was THE "Wedding Song" in the 1970's. A reviewer with Rolling Stone magazine said... "Karen Carpenter's voice is like the sound of a lover whispering in your ear."

[@johnbattles1002]

Karen Carpenter was a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart and a beautiful voice whom we lost much too early. Had a massive crush on her, Petula Clark, and Judith Durham of The Seekers back in the day! In future reactions to The Carpenters, you can close your eyes and point to ANY TITLE from their list, and you can rest assured that it will be a WINNER!

[@Michelle_Crn]

I also grew up with the Carpenters with "Close to You", "Please Mr. Postman", and Hurting Each Other" being three of my all time favorites. They (Karen) had so many wonderful hit songs, and yes, she does have the voice of an angel. I was on the very first date (with my now husband) when we heard that Karen Carpenter had passed away and it was shocking and oh so very sad. She died at just 32 years old which seemed so much older at the time because we weren't much more than babies but, in reality, she was still almost a kid herself. I believe it was her death that put a spotlight on Anorexia/Bulimia and brought it into the mainstream, I'm sure saving a lot of lives. She will live forever through her timeless music.

For some reason I’m revisiting the carpenters and seeing a lot of these “first time listening“ videos on KZbin. I’m 75 years old and was lucky enough to see the carpenters in Las Vegas in the late 1970s at which time I had not realized she was also a drummer. I also had not, until then appreciated what a huge contribution Richard Carpenter made to the act, as not only a singer but arranger, producer, and performer. Remember, the Carpenters were able to gain huge success, as we emerged from the late 1960’s at a time, when groups like the doors, Jimi Hendrix, big brother in the holding company, and the Rolling Stones offered raw expressions of rebellion & dissatisfaction. For a short time I worked for a middle of the road radio station as a disc jockey and came to t 5:42 5:42 5:42 appreciate their talent at a time when some labeled their music as a little too sweet and soupy . Listening to their music now a half a century later proves how timeless they are.

[@baysideharpy8350]

Her voice was sublime but perfectly complimented by Richard’s sometimes overlooked flawless arrangements and orchestration.

[@jazzmaan707]

This was the wedding song of the 70's and 80's. It's a beautiful song. Karen had the, "voice of an angel from God." Check out their Live Performance outdoors, as they perform at Walter Reed Veterans Hospital. She's singing and playing drums. They did sound like their studio recording, when performing live. John Bettis, who co-wrote 36 of their hits said, "When I first heard Karen sing, she sounded just like you hear her today, and she was only 16 years old. She had that God-given voice, and she never had to work on it. She also never wanted to sing, but just play the drums. But her older brother Richard, when he heard her sing, asked her to join his jazz band, and the rest is history. You say you like piano, listen to Karen and Richard do the song, SOMETIMES. It still makes me tear up, 40 years after I first heard it. Here's the link to SOMETIMES. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3qrd4dqqpuEfMk

[@gvalley07]

That verse "before the rising sun, we fly". Check out her beautiful vibrato on "sun" and"fly". Amazing breath/diaphragm control and emotional delivery of the lyrics. She makes you believe she is a newlywed instead of a 20 year old girl from the suburbs living with her parents. Her voice was a gift from God.

Great reaction sir! I just subscribed because I have always been a huge fan of the carpenter's. I was an adolescent and teen in the mid to late 70s. Started taking piano lessons at 8 years old, and by the age of 16 thru my late 20s, was ask by friends, friends of friends, family, fellow church members, ect, to play for many wedding ceremonies. This song and was one of the most requested along with one entitled " For All We Know". Karen Carpenter was then, and still is, my favorite female vocalist of all time. To me personally, she had the most unique and stunningly beautiful voice of any other. She also excelled as, and was a very gifted drummer, in addition to her outstanding vocals. Thanks again for your reaction, enjoy your journey with the carpenter's my friend, there are no bad one's.

[@tonyscupham-bilton7523]

Don't worry, you have not missed out. I'm very jealous, you are hearing the Carpenters for the first time. I grew up with this sound and tend to take them for granted.

Their back catalogue is amazingly varied - try reacting to Close to You, Ave Maria, Jingle Bells, and Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. Who else has that range wide a today?

The best female voice of all time. Unmatched for her tone, warmth and vocal range. As of today, October 8, 2023, Richard Carpenter is working on a new studio album. This album will be her first solo recording since 1987's "Time Out of Mind." Carpenter has been working on the album for several years, and has been searching for a vocalist who can fill the void left by her sister Karen, who died in 1983. In an interview with Billboard in 2022, Carpenter said that the album will have a sound similar to that of the Carpenters, but that it will also be an evolution of his sound. "It's still soft rock, but it's a little more modern," Carpenter said. "There's also a bit of experimentation." Carpenter has not yet announced a release date for the album, but has said that he hopes it will be released in 2024. In addition to his work on the new album, Carpenter is also working on a documentary about the life and career of the Carpenters. The documentary, which is being produced by the company "Greenwich Entertainment", will be released in 2024. Carpenter also continues to tour and give concerts. In 2023, he toured the United States with singer-songwriter Michael Feinstein. There is no voice today that compares to Karen Carpenter's. She was a unique musical genius in the world and goes far beyond her time. It without autotune or any other manipulation. Just her voice and her brother Richard's incredible arrangements. No current artist can match this in this era. Karen was also one of the best drummers of her time and she could sing well while she played the drums simultaneously. A true top talent. RIP Karen Carpenter, We will always remember you and love you!!! 💛💛💛 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- La mejor voz femenina de todos los tiempos. Inigualable por su tono, calidez y rango vocal. A fecha de hoy 8 de Octubre de 2023, Richard Carpenter está trabajando en un nuevo álbum de estudio. Este álbum será su primer trabajo discográfico en solitario desde "Time Out of Mind" de 1987. Carpenter ha estado trabajando en el álbum durante varios años, y ha estado buscando una vocalista que pueda llenar el vacío dejado por su hermana Karen, quien murió en 1983. En una entrevista con el medio "Billboard" en 2022, Carpenter dijo que el álbum tendrá un sonido similar al de los Carpenters, pero que también será una evolución de su sonido. "Todavía es soft rock, pero es un poco más moderno", dijo Carpenter. "También hay un poco de experimentación". Carpenter aún no ha anunciado una fecha de lanzamiento para el álbum, pero ha dicho que espera que salga a la venta en 2024. Además de su trabajo en el nuevo álbum, Carpenter también está trabajando en un documental sobre la vida y la carrera de los Carpenters. El documental, que está siendo producido por la compañía "Greenwich Entertainment", se estrenará en 2024. Carpenter también continúa realizando giras y dando conciertos. En 2023, realizó una gira por los Estados Unidos con el cantante y compositor Michael Feinstein. No hay ninguna voz hoy en día que se compare con la de Karen Carpenter. Fue una genio musical única en el mundo y va mucho más allá de su tiempo. Sin autoajuste ni ninguna otra manipulación. Sólo su voz y los increíbles arreglos de su hermano Richard. Ningún artista actual puede igualar esto en esta era. Karen también era una de las mejores bateristas de su época y podía cantar así mientras tocaba la batería simultáneamente. Un verdadero talento superior. QEPD Karen Carpenter, ¡¡¡ Siempre te recordaremos y te querremos!!! 💛💛💛
