Karen Carpenter

[Willoughbyva]

I am listening to a station that plays Christmas music. They just had a song by Karen Carpenter on. I think she had one of the best voices of her time.

Thoughts?

A very nice voice. To bad she never figured out that her throat was for input as well as output.

Yes, her voice is fantastic, but I'm sick of hearing the same songs over and over again on the station.

"Merry Christmas darliiiing. Happy New Year tooooooo." AGGH!

No kidding, she should really cut some new stuff.

Hard to say that she was the best given the that she was a contemporary of Carol King, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, and Joni Mitchell just to name a few.

:music: I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I've found ever since you've been around. Your love's put me on the top of the world. :music:

Ever heard "Tunic (Song for Karen)" by Sonic Youth? Good tune.

Why not get Donny and Marie Osmond involved and you can have the most wussified steel cage match of all time.

Where was her brother?

It's not often heard, but shortly before her death he did release a single as a tribute to her. I think it was titled "She Ain't Heavy, She's My Sister".
