Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy,,,,Those girls back in the 70's could actually SING! No stupid stage shows, lip-synching, or dancers! GAG! Thank you to those who post these clips from a lost era. Carpenter was one of the best from that time and one of America's greatest vocalists ever. Such a pure distinctive voice and brilliant phrasing. No one can sing a sad song like Karen.
I also cry when I hear this song too. Karen Carpenter 💐💐 had such a beautiful voice and she was such a down-to-earth kind person. It is profoundly sad that Karen Carpenter died so young😢🖤🕯️. I was just a Kid when Karen Carpenter 💐💐 died on Feb 4th, 1983😢🕯️🖤. I just 🙏🙏 pray that there is a Heaven Karen Carpenter💐🌹 singing there 🙏🙏💛💛✨✨.
God only had one choice to give someone the voice of an angel. He chose this beautiful person Karen carpenter. When I go to heaven I hope I hear her voice. To put me in peace.
I miss you. My 17- year old died… helping another. She and her sister danced to your music while I smiled. So miss you and seeing them dance. My only daughter wants to marry to Close to You
I loved listening to The Carpenters back in my teenage years. Soft, beautiful, gentle, comforting tone of music. 🎵🎶 ❤️ I still love listening to Karen's gentle voice. 💕

Back in the 1980's I worked at the offices of the attorney's Carpenter's. We had an entire section of file space devoted only for their files. Karen lived down the street (in Century City LA) from the office and would come in from time to time. This was around 1982
"Carpenters - Rainy days and Mondays" Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothin' ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me) What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do) Run and find the one who loves me What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get me down Hangin' around (hangin' around) Nothin' to do but frown Rainy days and Mondays always get Me down
reminds me of the 70s , mum cooking sunday dinner with radio on , dad up the pub havin a few at lunchtime , the smell of roast chicken , school the next day . They gone now but this song makes me happy n sad , i love it
Her interpration can still make me smile or cry, what a talent, what a gift, taken from us much to soon. Her sadness still haunts me when I hear her singing. How many performers can afftect an audience that way. I am usually critical since I have been singing lead in a Barbershop Quartet and Chorus for 24 years and when I hear Karen's voice it is really something special
I just came across her gravesite on a hill in a beautiful little cemetary just off the 101 Freeway in Westlake Village, CA. So peaceful. It was clear that she still has fans who visit. Maybe some of you will.
I Love your voice Karen Carpenter. I love your songs and the music. You and your brother were truly amazing, miss you dearly Karen. God bless you may you rest in peace.
The Carpenters are one of my favorites from the 70s. I was looking at the Billboard Top 100 for 1971 - everything from Jethro Tull & Led Zeppelin to Perry Como & Andy Williams - pretty amazing.
Ahhh takes you back to those lovely days her voice brings many memories friends, family and school days she's missed by many her beautiful angelic voice one of a kind.
I'm so glad you posted this. The Carpenters seem to have been forgotten on Oldies stations and the young generation doesn't even know who she was or how amazing she was. I would love to see a Carpenters revival of sorts. Their music should not be forgotten.
The Carpenters,one of my favourite bands of all times,every single song Karen sang is my favourite,she is just too good,RIP and I am happy to be one of their favourite fans
Listen, LISTEN to that voice! It's completely insane, it shouldn't be possible, the technique, the range, the effortlessness (is that even a word?). My God she had a rare gift!
A voice of a angel she put my soul at peace boy did I loved her voice! I was in the parking lot of supermarket as read she was gone,sad day for me, I still remember!
the best voice ever hands down I miss listening to her sing all day on the radio when they played good music now youtube gives me my Karen fix lol R.I.P. Karen the world isn't the same without you
Today's singer's come and go but this beautiful singer Karen carpenter has stood the test of time even after she went to heaven 😍💓 it just proves her voice still carries a msg to us all Karen's voice still touches a heartstring in each and every one of us ....long may Karen bring us joy from her smooth song's god bless you Karen carpenter you were quite simply a angel 👍💓😍🐻

Karen's voice still gives me goosebumps.I wish that she was still alive and singing her songs with that beautiful voice of hers.I love you Karen!
We all loved her so much. We will never understand why they leave us so soon.
The Great ones make it look easy! Miss Karen Anne Carpenter was the GREATEST EVER!
One of the all time greatest singers ever.

The Carpenters were perfection, song after song. Indelible classics that are eternal. Thank you, Richard and Karen.
Karen stole .y heart a long time ago and will forever remain there . She really touches my soul . Rest in peace .
Wow how I miss her voice, the musical arrangements oooohhhh to listen to all those instruments and harmony is simply heaven.
+Franklin NJ amen....
God only had one choice to give someone the voice of an angel. He chose this beautiful person Karen carpenter. When I go to heaven I hope I hear her voice. To put me in peace.
+Robert Olenick Well said!!!!! :-)
After 14 years no one has ever gotten close to her as a singer
yes her style but Whitney.... there is another heart breaking loss!
I miss you. My 17- year old died… helping another. She and her sister danced to your music while I smiled. So miss you and seeing them dance. My only daughter wants to marry to Close to You
so sorry to hear you lost your 14 year old life can be incredibly cruel prayers for you
Such an angelic voice. Legendary. RIP, Karen. You are truly missed.
the most beautiful vocalist ever ever ever! I wish I had been old enough to see her perform live. One in a million
Waw them on their opening night at the London Palladium. Best concert I've ever seen.
@@TheStig7320 Lucky!!! What year?
If that voice does not touch you then you may not be breathing.
Songwriter Paul Williams wrote this for her because he wanted it sung by an angel. He also wrote "We've only just begun"
Karen Carpenter an ANGELIC VOICE now singing with the ANGELS which was where she came from. Heaven
Love it.
Absolutely true story 😇
can we please go back to this America?
Those good days are long long gone...sad, how much I miss it
This period in all western nations))
Unfortunately....no
peerlesslondin The girl had some pipes!!!!!!!
Can we give a massive nod to Richard Carpenter for his utterly incredible production.....for me...the best production ever...
I loved listening to The Carpenters back in my teenage years. Soft, beautiful, gentle, comforting tone of music. 🎵🎶 ❤️ I still love listening to Karen's gentle voice. 💕
Her voice is just pure and heavenly.
Her voice was unique and powerful.
she reaches into your very soul with her special voice
Thank you karen for being part of my youth. RIP
This song is irresistible. She nails it perfectly

I once read, that she could record songs in one take.
One of the most beautiful songs of the '70s. What a sad loss. When she sang, it sounded as though she believed what she was singing.
iI love the Carpenters all way's brings me back to my child hood wish it was the 70' again
She is the greatest
So very sad that when you listen to the words Karen sings, They are all about her.
What a tragic lose of someone with so much talent and Love in her.
Brings back some good memories grew up listening to the carpenters
Jesus. How awesome is this.
Her voice sleighs you from the moment she opens her mouth, a truly brilliant and irreplaceable talent. R.I.P Karen Carpenter.
Karen a la voix qui frôle la perfection
The sound track of my youth always makes me cry when no one's watching.
Most beautiful voice ever
It's been almost thirty years since she passed away and I still miss her greatly. In her case, the good died young.
Back in the 1980's I worked at the offices of the attorney's Carpenter's. We had an entire section of file space devoted only for their files. Karen lived down the street (in Century City LA) from the office and would come in from time to time. This was around 1982
You were blessed!😎
One of the most amazing things about Karen Carpenter was that she never had voice lessons. What she had was self-taught, natural talent.
The range in her voice was incredible. :) There's been nobody like her since......
Beautiful lady and an angel voice
i really love you Karen and i miss you so much.
In 2020, She still has a Beautiful voice!
"Karen Carpenter", is a synonym in my mind for a desirable person who feels that they are unworthy of my company.
wow, what a thing to say. so sad, so true...it brings chills up and down my spine
Is this Richard or agnes???
"Carpenters - Rainy days and Mondays"
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get
Me down
Songs like this will live FOREVER! :) i love the CARPENTERS!!!!
Totally agree I did see her perform and she sounded exactly like she did on the radio! No one has matched her voice beautiful❤️
She was so beautiful.
She was my heart as a young man in the 70s and still is today. What an angelic beautiful soul. R.I.P. Karen 😢❤🙏
reminds me of the 70s , mum cooking sunday dinner with radio on , dad up the pub havin a few at lunchtime , the smell of roast chicken , school the next day . They gone now but this song makes me happy n sad , i love it
This is my favorite Carpenter song.
At my age, prob the best female voice in many a generation
Why am I not able to hold on my tears every time that I listen to Karen Carpenter singing?
She had the whole package. Her voice is heavenly. R.I.P. and miss you.
Her interpration can still make me smile or cry, what a talent, what a gift, taken from us much to soon. Her sadness still haunts me when I hear her singing. How many performers can afftect an audience that way. I am usually critical since I have been singing lead in a Barbershop Quartet and Chorus for 24 years and when I hear Karen's voice it is really something special
Her voice and image always fills my life with love. She is unique.
Karen Carpenter es dulce, suave, melodica, inspiradora. Amo esta voz hermosa. Nunca habrá otra igual.
Karen est une contrealto sa voix est a limite de la perfection.....unique au monde
🎼 Fascinante. Tengo 69 años. Saludos cordiales desde Cúcuta en la frontera colombo venezolana 🇨🇴🇻🇪 Sur América
I still Love her. She was so beautiful.
Oh so beautiful and tender...
どんな宝石にも例えることができない輝く綺麗な歌声、すばらしい。
Love Karen and this song!!!
l love Carpenters' best song !! Forever Carpenters !!! from JAPAN
I just came across her gravesite on a hill in a beautiful little cemetary just off the 101 Freeway in Westlake Village, CA. So peaceful. It was clear that she still has fans who visit. Maybe some of you will.
The great ones always leave us to soon
Mom plz get ahold of me
One of the best vocal females in history, her voice is amazing, one of a kind, words can’t even put it in to perspective
I Love your voice Karen Carpenter. I love your songs and the music. You and your brother were truly amazing, miss you dearly Karen. God bless you may you rest in peace.
Nostalgia. How time is so unforgiving. Here and gone ...but ...Karen's voice.❤😢
Is she not the prettiest thing in that yellow dress??? Pure beauty and class as she is in her stuck/struck and cycling girl energy.
My most favourite Karen Carpenter song brings back a lot of pleasant childhood memories.
Its hard to even imagine an off key note venturing from hear mouth. Pure perfection.
In the words of Burt Bacharach (a man who surely knew about these things) 'musically she was practically perfection'.
Karen was, and will always be, an ANGEL to American music and to all of us. I miss her so much.
The Carpenters are one of my favorites from the 70s. I was looking at the Billboard Top 100 for 1971 - everything from Jethro Tull & Led Zeppelin to Perry Como & Andy Williams - pretty amazing.
She’s Awesome. Calling
Occupants of Inter-planetary craft.✨⚡️
Ahhh takes you back to those lovely days her voice brings many memories friends, family and school days she's missed by many her beautiful angelic voice one of a kind.
RIP angelic Karen....
There has NEVER been a voice like hers!
She ALWAYS makes me smile!...and then sad for her too soon fate
the band was perfect with Karen's and Richard's vocals and his production
MAJIC!!!!
I'm so glad you posted this. The Carpenters seem to have been forgotten on Oldies stations and the young generation doesn't even know who she was or how amazing she was. I would love to see a Carpenters revival of sorts. Their music should not be forgotten.
Hardly forgotten. There is an artist on TIK TOK who sings and sounds like Karen. She is super popular!!, stunning!! Almost surreal
on the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to make a dream come true that song was the most popular on radios in the 70s
Haunting, sad and classic
I lived the 70's with you Karen! What an era! God bless & Rest In Peace!
❤❤❤❤❤her voice is 💕
Its the greatest loss to the world of music, to lose this voice this heart, this future
Thank God for CZcams 😊
The Carpenters,one of my favourite bands of all times,every single song Karen sang is my favourite,she is just too good,RIP and I am happy to be one of their favourite fans

#KarenCarpenterRAINYDAYSANDMONDAYS
Love this video. Just a lady and a piano. No fancy lighting, special effects, or background dancers. She doesn't need them.
Nobody compares..even in today's music
