I loved whenThe Carpenters sang with other stars.Glad Karen didn't back off as much this time.Carol has always had a great unique voice.So nice to hear two very unique voices together.As usual Karen is on key and sounds great.Never missed any show The Carpenters were on.We watched The Carol Burnett Show every Saturday night. So glad to see this episode again!Thanks alot for posting this!
Carol Burnett wasn't half bad 😃😃!!! And that was really comical and sweet for Carol Burnett to be singing with Karen and Richard Carpenter! Of course Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice💐💐 ever and she also had a really good sense of humor💐💐! Karen Carpenter was a natural on stage🤗🤗, even though she felt insecure. She was really a sweet and good person🤗🤗💛💛💛💛💛. I really love to hear Karen Carpenter sing and I love her Richard Carpenter💐💐 and Karen Carpenter's music🤗🤗💛💛💛💛💛!!
You can see Carol concentrating as all of us who sing harmony do. Love Richard and Karen, but Carol nailed this. I’m betting she worked her ass off to do this segment. The work shows. And to make fun of herself at the end .... that’s the sign of someone who can bring the chops and make fun of themselves for going overboard (obviously intentionally).
Watch how Carol looks over at Karen. There is something to this that I have never read about from all the many books and interviews I’ve read and listened to. Did they not rehearse and Carol was looking over at Karen to know when to start singing? Was it part of the skit, with Carol at first playing the old fogey, so she was at first looking to get in tune with the ways of how young people sang in 1972. From the way she intently watches Karen, I think Carol thought she could learn something from Richard and Karen; and the way she recorded Rainy Days and Mondays might well be proof of it. Check it out, it is here on CZcams.
I believe that Carol was amazed by Karen's talent, just like the rest of us mere mortals. Carol could carry a note like many singers but Karen was a vocalizer extraordinare.
Yes I think as great of a singer Carol is she was looking at Karen in disbelief at how Karen stayed on key the entire time.Karen sang these songs many times but it is still amazing how she never went off key.I heard an audio interview of Karen and she admittedly said she never went off key except one time when she choked on a moth at an outside concert
I can't be 100% certain since the two season 5 episodes featuring the Carpenters are hard to find today or don't feature the segments with them, but I believe this is actually from episode 2 which aired on September 22, 1971 (not 16, aired on January 19, 1972) . Various episode guides have the trio (the Carpenters and Carol) singing a medley of Burt Bacharach songs which indeed this is. In episode 16 they are listed singing a different medley of songs. There is actually another clip on youtube which is for sure from season 5 episode 2 featuring the Carpenters in an old-time radio spoof (search "carol burnett radio days"). In the ending credits of that edited episode available these days you can see Karen wearing the costume from that skit.
Carol Burnett is ten times the performer as those other two. she is singing better than them at every turn. Karen sings nice sometimes... i know it's a medley but Karen's 'alternate version' of Breaking Up is Hard to Do is terrible there, absolutely terrible, she is way off pitch and there's no melody or rhythm like in the original song. reminded me of her 'version' of Jambalaya on the Bayou. Burt Bacharach and Paul Williams wrote their biggest hits. eat some food and don't do qaaludes.

It's so funny to me when Carol asked if her album would sale and Karen said, "Oh, yeah, man!" 😁😁
The way Carol looked at Richard 😆😆😆priceless. She looked at him like, I got your oldies
I would've bought a record of the carpenters and carol burnett

Carol’s face at 2:09. As a singer, when you know you are in the pocket.
You are correct. Also, if you watch some duets and medleys of Carol with other singers, you can see she's very good with harmonies.

That is TALENT !
Delightful! Perfection!

That hairdo from karen is from 1971. Her hairdo for 1972 is different.
Gosh Karen could sing!
That was awesome
That was priceless!
Great job Carol
Day I was born on.
January 19, 1972.
Poor Karen already looks sick. I saw them in Philly in 1972. Very sad to think she’s gone.
AT the 5 minute and 45 second mark Carol sprays saliva in Karen's face .Karen laughs and wipes it of.
Karen tried to cover up her entire body. Sad
It would be nice to just listen to Karen .....I think Carol Burnett ruins it trying to be 'funny'
The Carpenters are great. Carol Burnett is great, but together they painfully not funny. Cringe-worthy.
That’s nutty
