The Carpenters - Please Mr Postman [1978]

Song from 1975, from a tv special live 1978

[@lizaelliott6862]

I was just singing this song today and alas it popped up here. Dear Karen, wish you loved yourself as much as we love you.

[@LUCIANON25]

this is a clear example of what a beautiful is about. No fireworks, no high belting notes. Just pure voice, swing and clearness.

[@LUCIANON25]

@emin RIFFS AND RUNS like today singers. They're all about high notes and riffs and runs

[@aallpp55]

Her voice is so perfect and she is singing it live on TV. My fav singer of all time and there will never be one like her!!

[@Ilikebernie]

aallpp55 Have you heard of whitney houston. Not discrediting Karen Carpenter! She is a great singer but just listen to whitney

[@martinm3422]

Adore her too, if you like her you most probably dig the seekers too.

[@MrYeloot]

Deary Me No thanks, she’s not remotely as talented as Karen was

[@moow950]

@@Ilikebernie I love Whitney, but Karen Carpenter had the best voice ever.

[@petegarza2025]

Without a doubt the GREATEST FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME...Just listen to that stunning voice...And to find out that she had no singing lessons at all is truly amazing...And to this day the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME has still NOT inducted the CARPENTER...Shame on you RRHOF...R.I.P."KAREN CARPENTER"🙏❤️😭

[@Marcjames1986]

The fact I'm a 31 year old male and every time I get pissed I listen to the carpenters. Karens voice is like a brain massage!

She was very ill at the time, still her voice was as beautiful as ever.

[@kyawkyawwin1]

She always looked so ill - especially towards the end, inevitably. So sad.

[@austinskaggs4184]

The only years she looked healthy was from 69-72. But yes, obviously suffering from her eating disorder here. She’s 28 here but looks like she could be pushing 60. Tragic

This beautiful voice goes straight into the heart! Sax is one of the finest instruments for all the times! I love, to play it.

[@richlitton7862]

Bob Messenger here. He played several instruments for the Carpenters.

[@thomasschmitz9894]

that voice!! NO ONE and i mean no one could tell the story of the song better then her, whether a upbeat fun song like this or a moving love song or a sad melancholy song.. and she's also such a "ENTERTAINER!".. as demonstrated her! always in our hearts souls and minds karen!..

[@bretbistowski3393]

I think the marvelettes and beatles convery much more powerfully the sorrow and frustration of the story.. this is good nonetheless but feels much more casual

[@leonardoescribano]

John Lennon tells the story much better, he really seems to be suffering as much as the person waiting for the card.

[@jorgereis1089]

Ela brinca com as letras, harmonia, voz , saindo com muita perfeição, obrigado Karen.

[@edsauer2931]

you never hear a off note from this great singer! perfect pitch!!!!!!!

[@mkl62]

A #1 hit for The Carpenters in January 1975. It was their last #1 hit on the Top 40 charts. It also hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts and the Cash Box charts. It also hit #1 in Canada and their AC charts, Japan, and South Africa. It hit #2 in Ireland & the United Kingdom, #4 in New Zealand, #5 in Switzerland, #10 in West Germany, and #29 in The Netherlands. Karen, you gave us so much, and there is no doubt that you had so much more to give. It was a sad day when you left us. You will never be forgotten.

[@xecika]

karen was so beautiful and her voice was wonderful

She could not stay here for long , her voice showed that it was an angel. You can see that her voice remained , although her body has not supported this existence for a long time!!!

[@JamesHughes1]

after this song she had 5 years left what a shame that world would lose a beautiful awesome singer like her. At least her legacy lasts that we can all enjoy

[@tdk1004]

Beautiful...it is also rare to see Karen sing live (especially this late in her life)...most tv sessions were pre-recorded lip-syncing, nice to see her singing live.

Whenever I hear Karen I think about the horrible loss of such a talent and that is just my selfishness. Everyone says good things about her so it is just awful she had to suffer so much. I think about a lot of the basically crap the industry foists on us and realize how much we lost in a talent like Karen. Love you Karen and your wonderful music we still have.

[@wadewillingham9884]

This was a Marvelette"s cover.

[@bradman1100]

when Karen tried 'Ticket to Ride' early on, critics said she always would have trouble with Lennon/McCartney. this proves them wrong. she should have sung more staples from the 50's and 60's. she could re-write the record books. pure class will always rise to the top - no matter what. what a talent.
