One of the best female voices ever. In my personal opinion the 70s is the best decade of music hands down.

[@TooDarnSoulful]

The 70's were unforgettable, the song still sounds wonderful to this day !

[@podelus]

I love that you let your face show your reactions while the song is playing instead of interrupting with commentary. Might seem stuffy, but this speaks of respect to the artists to me, even though it’s just a recording.

[@mkshffr4936]

Right on.

[@robot-sisterhood]

her voice so haunting and gorgeous 💔

[@steve9199]

A reviewer with Rolling Stone once said "Karen Carpenter's voice is like the sound of a lover whispering in your ear." I still get chills when I hear her singing, and I graduated high school in 1978.

[@craigcraigster4999]

I completely agree with you -- and class of '77 for me. 🙂

[@heatherbegs]

Same! Also 1978 and could listen to her all day long 💕

[@keithjones8889]

The Bicentennial Class of "76" here❗ We were the best ❗😁😅 (1776 -1976)🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲 //at least we thought we were ❗😂👍 I know you guys probably had brothers, sisters, cousins, friends, and neighbors that bragged about being in the class of "76" //Annoying weren't we❓🤣

[@theodoreritola7641]

THE CARPENTERS only sold 90 million LPS No big deal lol

[@yourthaiguy]

Best description ever…❤❤❤

[@pipmaple]

Her vocal control is phenomenal

[@sassymess7111]

Karen Carpenter's voice is like fine silk. She was also an amazing drummer.

[@TheDivayenta]

She’s playing her beloved drums here too!

[@danielbenincasa770]

One of the top female voices of all time. Gone to soon. She passed at age 32 of eating disorder. Karen's is smooth and rich contrallo voice which is a low pitched. She can sing an emotion which alot of singers don't do well. She is unique. She can switch from chest voice to head voice easily. From octave to octave. The best!! Do more please.

[@mailmanjim57]

I'm glad you are discovering the artists of the 1970s. It was truly a good time in history for music. I graduated high school in 1975, and I felt like the world shuddered on its axis when I learned of Karen Carpenter's death. Some of her music seems so melancholy in perspective. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and impressions.

[@Jack-pu4rf]

Karen Carpenter has something haunting about her vioce it's a unique sound that's hard to forget, wherever you are in the world it's instantly recognisable, her brother and her had a real brother and sister closeness and both had musical talents, good to see you looking so well Lizzie.

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

haunting is such a good word to use to describe her voice! hauntingly beautiful I’d say

[@alexarmendariz7763]

When Karen Carpenter passed away it was end of an era but the music of the Carpenters keeps on going rip Karen Carpenter

[@tomschmitz-dj1fg]

ULTIMATE vocalist and storyteller who sang to us not at us and who knew her talent was to tell the story of every song she sang and not necessarily about her but about US, the listener!...

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

very well said!

[@michaelasay8587]

The terrible US! Trump!!!

[@michaelasay8587]

Above, I meant Trump's great!! And going to win !!

[@colty7764]

her voice in "A Song For You" (actually Leon Russell's song) really shines through

[@chrisalldis3375]

Her beautiful natural pure Voice is just the best. Karen will never be forgotten, with great arrangements by Richard.

[@Susan-pq5rx]

Lizzie, it is so reassuring to see young people with open minds like you, listening to the legendary Carpenters, the best- selling musical act of the 1970's. Your analysis of their music is intelligent and respectful. The Carpenters' performances are timeless. So many of the songs they chose to record have become popular music standards. Lizzie, thank you for sharing their music and helping to preserve their incomparable musical legacy.

[@kazshaw3945]

She was known by all studio's as one take karen ,as she was always spot on and crystal clear !

[@sharonstark1014]

RIP KAREN. She had such a clear beautiful voice. Check out "we've only just begun." It was played at countless weddings in the 70s and 80s.

[@joelcampbell7100]

Her brother did the arrangements on all their music, they had great chemistry. Her drum talent was highly respected by the best drummer of the 60’s-70’s, Buddy Rich. Her death was so tragic, she suffered from an eating disorder which back in those days was unknown and because they really had no treatment lead to her death. 🙏🏻✝️❤️

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

Nice reaction young lady. Saw how your heartstrings were strumming. Karen's voice is the most heartwarming I've ever heard. She still gives me goosebumps 50 years later. Carpenters blessed us with some timeless, wonderful music! RIP KAREN.

[@craigcraigster4999]

Another timeless gem from Paul Williams and Roger Nichols (who also co-wrote We've Only Just Begun) as only Karen could do it justice. You didn't utter a single word during your reaction Liz, which was perfect because your eyes and smile spoke volumes. Thank you for yet another beautiful Carpenters reaction, I hope there'll be plenty more of them to come. ❤️ 🤗

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

thank you 🦋🦋 much more to come!

[@1939lb]

It’s KC..that’s all we needed to know

[@Mr.Sidenote]

Yes, yes, and yes to this whole look, Liz. Karen Carpenter had an incredibly smooth, natural tone to her voice that still resonates the ol' heartstrings. We are so lucky that recordings have immortalized her talents.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Girl is velvet smooth singing. No joke.

[@garyblevins3532]

I may be wrong but I feel in my heart that this song really gotcha down deep. Nothin wrong with that girl. Be blessed

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

Yes, absolutely 💯

[@joetallon4968]

She was the one singer that could bring out the emotions in men and women!

[@jwgregory1969]

A good friend of mine from high school works for Richard Carpenter, her brother on piano, as his personal mechanic for his amazing car collection. About 50 cars.

[@craigcraigster4999]

Conejo Valley area? I believe Richard resides in Thousand Oaks or Westlake Village (I lived there for 34 years), but I'm not sure if his car collection is there too or possibly in L.A. 😎

[@jwgregory1969]

@craigcraigster4999 Not sure but I believe my friend lives in the Thousand Oaks area. Not ultra familiar with the California area, even though I stationed there eons ago.

[@jwgregory1969]

@@craigcraigster4999 But the collection ranges from muscle cars to exotics to rare and quirky. Rather varied.

[@russgilbertson8689]

She is so great. I love her, She sings so good.

[@josephmummerth]

beautiful lady with an amazing voice , we lost her way to soon ! one of the very rare people with perfect pitch , and she was also a drummer , and played and sang at the same time , years before phil collins !

[@jazzmaan707]

Wonderful reaction. Karen had the best voice of all time, as she made you feel the words that she was singing. Yes, I get teary-eyed too, when I hear Karen sing.

[@user-ez6vk2bw7q]

A woman singing and playing the drums was pretty much unheard of in the late '60s and early '70s. I wish, as a rock music fan, that I had appreciated Karen more while she was still with us. She died in her early 30s due to anorexia, gone much too soon.

[@waltobringer2928]

She had such a lovely voice...

[@helokopter924]

You can cite those who sing louder, higher, and bark, but NO ONE can sing as well as KC. NO ONE. Such a tragedy this woman left us too soon with her God-given, untrained talent with a hauntingly enchanted voice and singurly best female drummer of her time.

[@miltonslocum8957]

Loved your reaction and comments Lizzie!❤ My wife and I love the Carpenters. We were married in August of 1970 and a few days later their song We've Only Just Begun came out and it became our song. A couple of years later we got a chance to see them live and it was a wonderful experience. We bought their album Close to You and play it every Anniversary. Best wishes Lizzie!❤

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

that’s so wonderful!!

[@miltonslocum8957]

[@festusadams7417]

Thank you for your reaction to this Carpenters song. Please also react to their song, “Superstar” 😊

[@barryfinal6384]

Lizzie, I enjoyed watching your reaction to the hole compass of Karen and her richness in the delivery of the song. So many reaction people take away the beauty of a song, by input of consent interruption . It was very nice to have the privilege to enjoy the song with you.

[@garyzink1927]

What wonderful comments from a beautiful lady. I was lucky to grow up with this and so many great performers from the 60's. Peace from Northern Michigan!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Too bad such a beautiful state has such a crazy governor.

[@MelissaDalehite-ey4bu]

She is so soothing . 😊😊😊😊😊

[@TheFunk79]

One of my favorite songs. Karen is brilliant. Love everything about this track.

[@pauldourlet]

I saw the Carpenters in 1972. Karen sang and drummed at the same time. I was blown away to see Karen sing and drum. She drummed and sang at the same level as Phil Collins or Levon Helm, check out on KZbin her cover of the Beatles Help and Dancing in the Streets. Karen was known for recording a song in one take. In other words, the first take was perfect. Check out the song Superstar-he recording is the first take. She read the lyrics of the song off either a napkin or envelope. I think the very best song Karen sang is Trying to get the Feeling Again. The song was lost and then found by Richard --he released it 11 years after Karen died and 19 years after it had been recorded. It is on KZbin. At one point, you hear her turn the page on the music sheets.

[@timmiszkowski9222]

Magical voice. An Angel

[@pamagnolia]

So nice! Love the Carpenters! 😅

[@michaelengel3265]

Karen had what singers call "perfect pitch"....Karen also was known as "one take Karen".....in the studio most of the time Karen did the whole song just one time in a recording....she was an amazing loving person with a lot of problems....RIP Ms. Carpenter...

Such a beautiful voice. I was a teen when she sang this and many other great songs. Thank you. Subscribed.

[@martyemmons1859]

You certainly chose a wonderful song to play for us, Lizzie The Gangster Hippie and The Stuffed Squad. When you're posting a video, I listen to the lyrics calmly and serenely. I have lost count of how many times that I've heard "Rainy Days and Mondays". As I listened along with you Lizzie, I finally heard and understood: "What I've Got Has Come And Gone Before" Up until your video, all I understood was that Rainy days and Mondays make her sad. I need for you to know that I appreciate your videos, Lizzie. On top of the serene feeling I get. I know how much you 'prepare' before each of your videos. I've made room in my life for you and 'The Stuffed Animal Squad' videos.

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

I deeply appreciate that and thank you so much for being here and allowing me to be part of your day! 🦋

[@AutoAlligator]

The reason The Carpenters aren't all over the internet as vintage performers can be summed up in one word. She loved her brother a little too much... She did have a staggering voice! One in a million.

Came out in 1969. Eve of Destruction, by Barry Maguire, came out in 1965--about the Times -Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement. Did I miss any ?
