Two kinds of men : Those who love Karen Carpenter's voice and admit it, and those that love it just as much but deny it. It's impossible to hear and not feel it in your heart.

Karens gorgeous voice and Christmas…just beautiful! Richard’s arrangements gave Karens vocals all the beauty it needed. They really were a great duo. Karen adored her Brothers genius. Richard adored his Sister and her awesome talent. Richard wrote the melody & Richard Pooler the lyrics for Merry Christmas Darling! Thank you for your kind heart and great personal reactions! Have you ever seen Karen’s drum solos on KZbin? Also, they did Beatles Help and a sing they wrote called Mr. Guder in Japan. 🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄❤❤

To this day, I've never heard anyone, not completely, like Karen Carpenter. Thankyou, and GOD bless you.

Hi jb. Absolutely love how Karen melts you. The only other voice I can compare to Karen, is Nat King Cole. They both share that astonishing resonance in their voices. Check him out, if you haven't. I think you'll get that same feeling. Also, check out Karen singing Solitaire. Richard said her voice was at it's most perfect quality in the mid 70's.

Love your reaction and love that you have become such a fan of The Carpenters. I've been one since the 70s when my hippie aunt gave me their first album when I was about 10 years old. Karen Carpenter has that rare quality of going directly into your soul from the first note she sings. I must have listened to their songs hundreds of times and am still moved by her voice. Every. Single. Time.

Fun fact JB: The lyrics were written by the choral director of the college Richard went to. He asked Richard to come up with music so they could play it at the annual Christmas program the college put on. Richard is only 18 (!) when he wrote it. Years later he and Karen put it on their Christmas album as a tribute to their favorite teacher and it's become a standard that's played every year at Christmas. Thank you for reacting to this and loving The Carpenters.

Every Carpenter song has a story. Merry Christmas Darling was written and published by Frank Pooler. Frank was a college music professor at Long Beach State where both Karen and Richard attended in choir and the cappella class. Frank wrote this song for a love interest of his as a Christmas gift when he was 18 years old back in the Midwest. That girl broke up with him shortly before Christmas so he never played it for her. Twenty years later Richard Carpenter was talking with Frank in class. Richard told him he and Karen were interested in doing a Christmas album and asked for some suggestions. Frank pulled out his song. Richard updated the song with his amazing arranging skills and presented it to the world. The rest is history. Frank, Richard, and Karen always had a twinkle in their eyes each and every time they performed this classic and timeless song.

I was around when the Carpenters first started out. Karen played the drums in her brother’s band. Her singing became such an important factor that her brother and others insisted that she come to front. She didn’t really want to but people wanted to see her. After a TV performance, an ignorant fan wrote to her that she looked like she had put on weight. Television back then made you look heavier than you really are. Karen was already insecure about her appearance. I understand that she fell in love & married but then found out that her husband was just after her money. I remember crying when the radio announced that she had died. I am so glad to see younger people rediscovering her.

The Carpenters were unique. They were appreciated by the generation that came before them. Like Bob Hope, Carol Burnette, and Perry Como. Someone once told me that when asked Frank Sinatra said that the ONLY person he would pay to see and hear was Karen Carpenter. Also, watch the Perry Como Christmas Special where Karen sings his hits and he sings hers! Also, on the very same special Karen sings 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town', trust me you have NEVER heard that song performed so beautifully!
