I agree with you Chris. Although I think that Karen and Judith Durham ( The Seekers ) both had the best female voices even to this day. I’m 68 years old and when I married my wife in 1973, our wedding song was “ We’ve Only Just Begun “. There were so many wonderful female vocalists back then. I miss them but will never forget them or their song.

@@louisvaccaro5865 Julie Covington was the first artist to record this song. She was less known for her records than as a star of the 1970s British tv series "Rock Follies." She recorded and released the song before the stage play, and it broke all of the rules for a song of this type. She was a virtual unknown by the mainstream, but the song rocketed to the top of worldwide charts in 1977. Therefore, it was an unknown song by an unknown singer from an unknown stage musical. The fact there was also no video clip means it should not have been a hit. It is worth a listen because Julie's version is hauntingly beautiful.

@@harrytroy685 That makes you 19 years old in 1970, making you too old to become a Carpenters fan. You were probably listening to a bunch of psychedelia and folk, Peter Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Procol Harum. Did I hit any? A lot of guys eschew chick singers, but since you like Karen I'm guessing you might like Joni and Judy. I was just teasing you before, "Argentina" was never on the radio, so unless you were a Carpenters fan and had the album, yeah, you might have missed it. And it wasn't 1970, it was 1977s "Passage" album. By that time The Carpenters had lost their steam. Two lackluster albums (Now&Then, Horizon) had let the wind out of their sail, resulting in disappointing results for "A kind of hush," and it was over. "Passage" was an attempt to explore new territory but it also showed that Richard realized their radio days were over, even if he didn't admit it to himself. All that said, since you like Karen and you appear not to be a collector of their albums, I encourage you to listen in entirety to their two magical albums "Carpenters" and "A Song for You." Those are both blisteringly great albums.

Go out and live. The virus has a .34% fatality rate. You're having more health problems worrying about this bogeyman. If you're older or in an otherwise vulnerable health position, use common sense. Otherwise, get on with life. This world is lost and clings to this fleshly existence like that's all there is. We're all gonna die if something. We're killing ourselves over this and our nation's and our history and all we've known. This ain't the bubonic plague but we're such sissies, we are making too much out of this.

Karen certainly had a beautiful voice, stunning. He said one of her versions of a Beatles' song was the best version. Some people think that Sarah Vaughan had the best non operatic voice in English speaking world last century. Tony Bennet for instance. But with greats like these two, both are wonderful.
