great to see richard carpeneter!!!

[@notwaiting]

That was really nice, but I bet there are many many of us that would love to have Richard Carpenter give us a tour of his car collection!!

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

@@notwaiting we were very lucky to get this private meeting and had been waiting for the opportunity for a few years. Richard announced his retirement from music in August, so it’s doubtful that he will be accepting more requests for private meetings/tours.

Watching this makes me have mixed up emotions, joy and sadness. His collection of pictures is one Freeze frame after the other of very special moments in time. A lifetime of lived gifts to rejoice in. What it would be like if Karen was still here with Richard to express and share with us all in her own words.

Would have been nice to see Richard a little more.

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

We have some other video clips that we will be releasing soon. Also there will be photos on our other social media platforms, so stay tuned.

[@richardstoc]

I did not realize Richard was more than a Musician, Producer, performer His car collection is amazing I always loved Karen vocal range it was exceptional the over dubbing made it heavenly to listen to . I wish she knew how much she was loved so sad she went through so much for no reason at all, we would have loved her no matter what. I hope he turns it into a museum someday even if it were by appointment only.

[@SeattleBlythe]

I saw Richard and Karen in the early 70’s when Karen still played the drums. I remember having a wee crush on Richard as he was so handsome!

[@TheWaldrip]

Wow this is neat ; this brings such happiness to me

[@Jukebox45s]

The reason Marie Osmond is not in the photo is because she did not get into show business until late 1973. I can immediately see a photo of Richard or Karen and tell you the year it was taken. I would stare at their album covers and pictures sleeves throughout the 70s while listening to their music. I would watch all of their appearances on TV. I loved their specials. The Christmas specials were especially wonderful as the "Christmas Portrait" album (and the later released "An Old-Fashioned Christmas") are by far the best holiday albums ever created. Here's a big virtual hug to Richard for making my life so much better.

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

Yes, you are correct. I was behind the scenes taking the video and was thinking the same thing, that Marie Osmond was not in show business quite yet. I can also tell what year any photo of Karen and Richard was as taken. That’s what happens when you spend so much time studying their material and it’s my business to know these things. lol The Carpenters’ Christmas specials (and albums) are amazing and that is what our Christmas show is based on. So much fun! I’m sure that Richard would be happy to know that their music made such a difference in your life. Same is true for me. 🥰

[@SueRosalie]

I can tell you the year of all the photos too, fans know these things so well, the guy in the orange shirt didn't know much

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

@@SueRosalie correct. Yes, us fans know these things. The guy in the orange shirt is one of Richard’s mechanics, so he knows more about the cars. 😉

Nobody had a more pure voice then Karen, I always loved the Now and Then album cover and still have it. Love the Richard and Bob Newhart poster, a long time favorites of Bob Newharts too, Loved you all since the early 70s.

[@ralex3697]

Greatest pop vocalist of all time. No one comes close to Karen. Ask any thrash metal musician who their favorite singer is and they will say Karen Carpenter. Her voice was on another level of beauty.

[@abdiver12]

What an incredible treat it is to see all these videos with a man who's music has made a huge impact on my life since I was a little kid in the 70's. What a kind, lovely gentleman he is. I wonder if he still owns that convertible where he and Karen took that famous photo, bathed in sunshine? I hope he receives a Kennedy honor someday, it is LONG overdue. Thank you for all these wonderful videos.

[@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It was absolutely wonderful meeting Richard and seeing his car collection. I'm not sure if he still owns the convertible that you're speaking of, but I know exactly which one you mean. If/when we have the opportunity to meet with him again we will be sure to ask. And yes, I totally agree that Richard is very much deserving of a Kennedy honor. 😊

[@abdiver12]

⁠Please also ask him if it’s true that Karen was lying down on her back in the studio when she recorded Rainy Days and Mondays. I heard that the other day in a video and was wondering if it was true, lol. Thanks again for all the wonderful videos!

At 0:46, Ned zooms in on the famous portrait of Karen posing on Richard’s shoulder which you & Ned replicated for your “Carpenters Legacy”!

[@jamesbond4633]

I found it very interesting when RIchard was asked about playing at the Troubadour. If I heard him right he said they played there at basically an open mic. YOu got 10 minutes to do your songs? That is pretty cool to think about. I play open mics and it would be very mind blowing to know someone went on to become so world famous. The other thing I want to ask about are the cars in the background? Were those Karen's? I didn't know she was into cars until JOe from the Nashville Hall of Fame informed me that Karen dated Mike Curb and the thing they had in common was cars. I read Stewart Copeland's Police Diaries and it is fascinating to me to learn about how artists lived and what they did before they they became famous. HOw much work they must have put into their music and the gigs they played. THat would be a great conversation with Richard to have!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!
