Merry Christmas RT. You are right. Karen Carpenter is timeless. Im on my late 60s, so remember KC very well on the radio and TV specials. KC began, with her brother Richard, by playing drums. Richard, her brother, was a terrific arranger but Karen's voice was discovered at age 19 by Herb Alpert in 1969 which began their road to fame. Richard convinced her that her best singing voice was contralto, 'the money is in the basement'. I believe KC's, voice, especially contralto, was the best female voice ever. No auto-tune, stripping, gimmicks, or screaming. Her nickname was 'one take', since she always sang a song once in studio without a single re-take. She sang to you with mesmerizing emotion, perfect pitch and enunciation. Her voice compelled you to listen. She had no professional voice training. The GOAT female singing voice: Paul McCartney said she sang Ticket To Ride better than the Beatles, and "she had the most angelic voice I have ever heard". John Lennon told her at an LA restaurant "you have a fabulous voice luv". Every female harmony in nearly all of her songs was hers as well, sang, then dubbed into the song by Richard. They were most successful in early/mid1970s when she received 4 grammys. She was also recognized by 1975 Playboy poll as rock drummer of the year. She never knew true love, nor how good she really was. Check the songs in their Christmas Album (best Ave Maria, ever) and other songs such as 'Superstar' 'Solitaire', 'Only Yesterday', 'A Place To Hideaway', 'Rainy Days and Mondays', 'I Can Dream Cant I', 'Someday', 'Hurting Each Other', 'I Need To Be In Love', 'Goodbye To Love', 'Yesterday Once More', etc.. She had a few friends including Petula Clark and Dionne Warwick. She had serious onset of anorexia in 1975 that continued to assail her the rest of her life. Married a guy in 1982 that was broke, not who she thought, and mistreated her. Never knew true love. She died Feb 1983 at 32yo due to complications from anorexia.

He didn't ask anyone to celebrate it, and celebrating too isn't a sin
