If you are a long-lost fan, just close your eyes, sit back, and let KC sing for you and remind you of your good ol' 'Yesterday Once More.'
Audio tracks from an early generation source courtesy of my dear friend S., Los Angeles. I'm forever grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity, girl.
'Last One Singing The Blues' was released on 'Karen Carpenter' the solo album in 1996. It's the track that made this video unavailable on mobile devices as specified by UMG, the copyright owner. Sorry, folks. I should have left that track out.
Before you post opinions that you may have of Karen, Richard Carpenter, Phil Ramone, and A&M Records executives, we only ask that you take the time to feel for Karen in her desperate plight to explore and in her personal health struggle and just appreciate/cherish her rare and unique talents - because those are what is left of her. She has been gone more than 30 years but still continues to sing and comfort countless millions around the world every day. That is what a true legacy of a real artist offers. PLEASE give her due respect.
Therefore, any rude, demeaning, or disrespectful comments or personal attacks on the above-mentioned individuals will be removed.
Technical, biographical, or constructive comments on the contents, style, or quality of these tracks, as well as personal reflections, are most welcome.

Her solo album was truly an expression of Karen’s womanhood. She wasn’t being stifled by her brother. She took a risk. I’m glad she did. “Something‘s Missing” is magic.
Something's Missing is my favorite too.
I like all of Karen's songs. Somethings missing is amazing! May God please give Karen Forever in Paradise. In Lord Jesus Name Amen. 😢 Karen suffered all her life. I do feel her pain, I feel so sad. A very Beautiful, yet tortured soul.
Calling that woman a DIVA wouldn't be enough - she was far beyond that. R.I.P. Lead Sister.🌹
This is like finding a new Karen Carpenter album 40 years later so great and such great quality thank you so much
Been a professional rock/ hard rock/ country drummer for over 25 years. Not another sound or tone on the planet brings me such peace and calmness. So difficult not to be deeply saddened.
I was in London on 4th February 1983 when I heard of Karen`s death. I was eating in a bar and someone said, "Why are you only playing Carpenter songs tonight?" The owner replied, "It is because Karen Carpenter died today." It was a sad day for me, but Karen will always be alive as long as people listen to her beautiful voice.
Aidan Darlo Where was the bar?
I was in a pub with friends in Oxford, England, that same day. Another friend came in and asked if we'd heard the news about KC. None of us could believe it. We ended up talking about how much we loved her voice. So sad, and I feel that same sadness every time I hear her voice. Thanks for these tracks.
@@KeonnieA I too remember details of when I heard of her passing. I lived near the Carpenters Downey, CA home and just happened to be on the freeway which was about 1000 feet from their house, around the time Karen collapsed at home. Later, I heard on the news and was deeply saddened. To this day, still tear up when I think of losing such a talent. Her parents opened the viewing to the public, which I attended. She looked beautiful... still miss her today.
👍👍👍👍💞🥰
Karen was and still is an amazing woman. She suffered more in her tragic short life than many ever experience. I hope by Grace of God I can see her in the next life. I know Karen will be Blessed. Karen graced us all with her beautiful songs, despite her relentless and ravaging illness and getting used by men who never really loved or cared for her. Karen left this world absolutely heartbroke. God Bless Karen Forever.
Thank you for sharing this recordings. I'm from Philippines and avid fan of Carpenters. This is 2023 and I still listen to her songs from 1970s. Often I wonder how she can explore her unique singing voice further. She is big loss to music industry. Still miss her she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
This is a great album of unreleased Karen Carpenter songs. I think Karen would be happy to know how much we love them. I truly love them.
My sentiments too! She’s wonderful
Even not at her best. She was very sick!
And to think she sang all those harmony parts without auto tune.
I worked as a music director at a radio station in the mid-80s, I would have put this on the air (and we had a lot of records coming in the mail every day that didn't get played). It's clear that Phil Ramone did a terrific job producing her recordings. It makes you wonder how her life could have been different had they released it in 1979. It's interesting how it sounds similar to Billy Joel's 52nd Street album (which yielded a lot of hits when it came out in 1978), not surprising since Ramone produced that and a number of Billy Joel's band members play on it.
Fun fact: the song Jimmy Mack is reported to be about James McEachin, record producer who left the music industry to become an actor in the mid to late 60s. "Jimmy Mack" was his nickname.
She can make a horrible song into a masterpiece... that's the caliber of this lady, the warmth, silk and smoothness of her velvet voice is what makes her apart from the rest of her fellow artists during her time. 💕💗
You know what I really like about this? The year is 1979. Disco is all the rage. This album is informed by disco, but not overrun by disco. It's like a blending of styles with her earlier Carpenter work.
she can even make a bad song sound good..its her incredible voice
Is there anyone truly into music who feels otherwise? She seems like a universally accepted talent. She signs at a tone that strings all humans together. A more than unique blessing and had she not had or cultivated it, she'd likely still be with us. Strange how talent and fame affect can us. Each a bit differently. I can only imagine or observe.
It’s that talent she had! RIP Karen
world´s best female singer
Your vote for best male singer would be Art Garfunkel? Just a guess. Many push him a best male singer. To me he doesn't come close to Karen. Less "uniqueness".
such clarity, I know of no singers with such a 'clear as a bell' quality. MISS U DEAR K
I would say the best white female pop singer... EVER.
world's best singer, period.
The Best ever,... She is so remarkable 😍🥰🙏
This lady was so talented. I miss her beautiful voice so much. She could have sung the phone book and made it sound great. ❤️❤️
Rip Karen Carpenter you were absolutely beautiful and had an amazing voice
43 years gone and her voice still sings on.her voice so soft and soothing to the ear.if she was still alive i wounder would she have gone solo.my opinion id say so.but at least she made a few albums on her own.sales were not that good but to me i liked her solo Karen songs.she always had her brother and when he was in hospital she went solo .I'd say if she continued on her own singing with out Richard she probably would have done ok for herself. but sadly in 1983 she died. Godbless You. You will Always be my sweet sweet smile every day on top of the world girl.Now 43years gone and your still heard singing like it was only yesterday .Rest in peace to you Karen 🙏AMEN🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🕊🐬🌻🌹🌹🌹💐🌈🕊🌹
I'm sitting here with my ear buds in, tears rolling down my face thinking how much more Karen could have done. I see her right up there with Barbara Streisand selling out shows everywhere. I Love you Karen. You're always with me/us. That voice still gives me chills and brings tears.
What a talent!!!Gone to soon!!!!!
AGREED 😔💚
I would never make disrespective comments to such a beautiful person.Her voice will never be repeated.
Believe that was stated due to certain family members...
Not the Karen Carpenter we were used to hearing. She intended for this to be the case. Every artist needs to explore in order to grow. That is what Karen did here. I am glad she had the chance, even though the reception the project got, from those she most sought to please, must have been terribly painful for her. Give this music a chance. These songs grow on you...they are different and not as suited for her voice and style as we were used to hearing, but if you take the time to listen, Karen is doing something beautiful with each of them.
I'd also like to add that the arrangements and production qualities are of late-70's aesthetics, which alters the perspective from which we listen to them today. Had we heard this album in 1980, it would not seem dated, which it certainly was by the time of its delayed release.
Some of these songs may not be hit material, but what's important is Karen‘s voice is heard in a new light. She has never sounded this soulful----and FREE !! Story goes A&M Records shelved her album back in 1981. I really believe brother Richard couldn't bear the thought of lil sis branching out on her own---he felt truly threatened ! What an Ass !
There's a soulfulness in Karen‘s voice on most of these songs missing on the Carpenters songs. Sure not all these songs are hit material, but she sounds liberated by the material instead of brother Richard's patented sugar-coated songs. Again, we'll never know the true scope what Karen could‘ve accomplished. A once in a lifetime talent !
I don't know if they were hit material or not but its a thoroughly enjoyable album. "Truly You" is fantastic and "Love Making Love to You" is a great song too. God only knows what Karen might have done had she broken free of Richard and gotten together with one of the many producers dying to work with her like Quincy Jones. They were more than happy to ruin her chance at a solo career if it meant keeping her around. Karen had so much music left to give and without question would have had a renaissance in the 80's same as so many other 70's stars did like Tina Turner, Olivia Newton John, David Bowie, etc.
I, along with countless other fans will always love and miss you, sweet Karen ! ❤️🥰🤗
Sorry, another note here, I truly appreciate this because she was my homeroom and english teacher in 1978 to 1979. Me being "Teacher's Pet" my pet name for Karen was 'Honey' and her pet name for me was 'Darling'. So the songs "Lovelines", "If We Try", "Midnight", and "It's Really You" have a special meaning for me.
2015.03.02 Karen would have been 65 today. Not "Only Yesterday," but every day we miss you. Happy Birthday.
She would've made it as a solo singer and soar heights with these songs. It was very emotional to the point that the rawness of her voice was almost haunting. Somethings missing in my life is a personal favorite! Such beauty doesnt deserve to sit in the shelves. Karen, you did a great job! I hope you can see how people still remember you to this day. You left a hole in our hearts that no one could fill. Love you forever. xxx
Such a beautiful outstanding voice. They'll never be another Karen ❤💙🧡
Karen perfected the conversational-style of singing, almost like having your best friend confiding in you her innermost thoughts.
AGREED❤️
36 years today, dear KC.
"Loneliness is such a sad affair."
The inside pain never leaves and manages to surface each year on this day. I keep saying that many of us are "Still Crazy After All These Years." It is true. I think I'll go play "Love Me For What I Am" on a constant loop today. Still love and miss you after all these years, and will always. (February 4 2019)
Happy 69th, dear KC. (March 2 2019)
“(Don’t forget the bridge!)”
Happy Birthday to my favorite vocalist such a unique voice with deep passion in music. I love you karen carpenter thank you. 😚😚😚
Karen Carpenter goes disco. This is fantastic - thank you for sharing! I wish these songs would be properly released someday...
Can imagine you imagine how much work went into these songs? If they were popular?
I really love these songs. Superb voice, what a shame that these songs were not released. It would have made her very happy. So sad.
Carpenters were and will be one of the most important band groups of the world. I heard Carpenters for the first time in my life in the year of 1973, when my english teacher who lived in New York City returned to Brazil to teach english in the school where I was studing. From that year on I always heard Carpenters' songs. I remembered very well when a friend of my living in Rio de Janeiro City (Brazil) told me that Karen Carpenter had died. It was a very sad day for me. It was a pity that a very good person/singer was died so sooner, so young. Any time I am here seeing and listening Carpenters' musics in the youtube net, and I would like to thank all those people who release Carpenter's materials for us all. Thank you very much. And to ending I must ask for to you all my apologizes because my english is not very good. (Barbacena City, Minas Gerais State, Country Brazil).
I have never run across these unreleased songs before, but ANY song Karen sings is special, simply because her beautiful voice cannot and NEVER will be matched!
I can actually hear true happiness in her voice as she sings this song. Finally she was free to sing songs that she chose to sing as Karen Carpenter and not as one half of "The Carpenters:
After recording the album & it being shelved she called her producer, Phil Ramone & asked if she could say it was "an f---ing good album!" Everybody involved with the album said it was good. They all said what a great person she was to work with. And oh yes...she chose each song & sang her heart out...free as a bird!
I think track 1 and 4 are my faves.
A singer can be like an actor. Be in the role being sung from. She was known as someone who put lot of emotion into her performance. But those may not necessarily been her own. So possibly also not this happiness.
Look at Kate Bush for instance. Very few of her amazing songs are actually about herself, or her opinions. She would read a book, and sing from the voice of the author or a character. Like no-one ever could.
imagine the toxic relationship she had with control freek Richard.....damn sad.
@@Cloxxki No one out of Europe knows Kate Bush unfortunately, she is one of the best female singer\songwriters with a vituoso talent for that and piano from a very early age. I remember they had to tell her to wait till she finished school at least before she could put out her first album because they already knew she was so good and going to be a hit haha..
Hidden treasure. Karen Carpenter sorely missed but not forgotten. Her voice and her beauty will always remain in my heart and mind.
I was the one with a cassette tape and an iMac that digitized these tracks 15 years ago. Thank you for sharing them in one file, I never got around to doing that. :-)
+Goofus KAC Thank YOU from the bottom of our hearts. A true treasure you've shared with the world. It's the last piece of her heart we get to cherish. May I cite you in the description? No matter what people say, her heart, determination, efforts, time, and money that went into these tracks said so much about the confidence Karen had in herself. They are something she was proud of, and we are proud of her for taking that step to 'try.' Thank you very much again, Goofus. We're forever grateful.
Thanks Goofus KAC.... Do I remember that name from the Newville mailing list from like, 1996???
Goofus KAC thank you forma the tracks. Where do you find them?
Goofus KAC thankz a lot my friend and good job..😃😃😃
no thank you for discovering this for us
Wow, I thought I had heard it all. To hear something new from that angelic voice is like seeing a favorite movie for the first time again. Thanks so much!! Karen we love you.
I'm just discovering her unreleased solo stuff. Great tracks here.
Karen and Richard Carpenter didn't need auto tune. No way.
Karen's voice emanated from within her very soul. That may be why so many fans have perceived her voice as having an angelic quality to it.
In fact, I like to imagine Heaven's choir director as perceiving some missing element until Karen showed up. Then, he probably remarked "Ah. yes. There it is. Welcome home, Karen." FYI: We were both born in March. I was born on Easter. She was only 14 years older than me. Way too young to go so early.
Karen was truly an Angel upon the face of this Earth …….Thank You !
I miss you too Karen......first saw you in about '71' at a Wisconsin state fair and my wife would love to sing to your albums allot. You were really a beautiful person with a sweet voice.
Timeless talent...Voice from heaven..
A true performer she was through her singing. Thank you for sharing these songs 💖
Come to pay respect to our favorite singer in the company of fellow fans today, February 4 2015, 32nd anniversary of her departure. Still mourn this loss. Can never get over it. Will never get over it. Wherever you may be and though you will never get to know/hear this, dear KC, I will still want to tell you we love and miss you.
I will never get over it either, I don't want to I love her so much
Try soon it'll be
38 years. Like in "superstar" "long ago and oh so faraway, I fell in love with you, before the second show.." So long as I live I will remember. RIP.
.
Me too. I cried for three days when I heard that dear sweet Karen Carpenter died.
Literally tripped into this. My God , what a find! To hear her voice on new songs was a rebirth of a legend. Thank you so much for digitizing and compiling these songs. Simply a great present to diehard fans!
@Karen Carpenter Thanks!
I love her versatility in these recordings. What a shame that, at the time, they were unreleased. She is the best female vocalist ever. I'm so happy we can still enjoy her voice and music today. Rest in peace, Karen, you are so loved & missed. ❤️
Incomparable. Several possible hits here, what a great loss. She will never be replaced. If you are aware, Karen, you are much loved still and always will be.
In my mind I keep thinking of an alternate world in which Karen Carpenter overcame her eating disorder the moment she started working with Phil Ramone and began a very successful solo career. She was such a talent.
There are only two female singers in the world, who can electrify me every time hearing their voices. The one is Karen Carpenter. I love her since I heard "Yesterday Once More". Thank you so much for sharing these file.
Judith Durham
Astonishing voice that nowadays one cannot even find.
She is and will be always one of the best singers that have existed!!!
It is a shame she passed away so soon.
Rip Karen sweetheart, wherever you may be.
Thank for you for this lost treasure.
Thank you so much for this. She was one of the greatest singers that ever lived. I can't imagine all the great songs she could have given to us all. I will never forget hearing that she was gone, my wife and I just broke down into tears.
I'm glad that she recorded these songs for us fans! They are all very wonderful! 💕
A perfect voice for any musical style - beautiful and precious.
These songs certainly hold their own within the Carpenters catalog. It's different production style, but it does work and any of these could be intermixed with the any playlist and not skip a beat. All of this is beautiful.
Love this album! :) If given the chance, this album would have certainly made it. Even though there are a few people who object to this album, there are so much more people who love and appreciate it. Karen's voice has so much versatility. Happy she got the chance to do this album. Wish she was alive to see her album released.
I feel like I'm listening to the voice of a good friend. How I miss this lady. I often wonder what her gorgeous voice would sound like in her mature years. "Something's Missing" is beautiful. I agree the arrangements are requiring her to sing in a higher register (which she can handle), but I miss that deep, rich tonality of her self described "money notes". From one fan to another, thank you for posting.
+maxiedoodle Before dismissing these tunes as uncharacteristic...they are not considering when they were recorded. Remember...Streisand recorded Superman and other songs very similar during the same time period.
I think Richard could have produced the hell out of Something’s Missing. Maybe he should have.
Like finding a gold mine in the desert! Wonderful quality. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I love these unreleased tracks too. My favorite is "Jimmy Mack"
Such a tragic story. I love everything about Karen. Such a talent gone far too soon. Think of the fruits we could have enjoyed, had anyone been able to identify her illness back then. I listen to her nearly every day. Her angelic voice is such a comfort.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL GIFT TO THE MUSIC COMMUNITY. I MISS HER - HER GIFT WAS SILENCED WAY TOO SOON. HER BROKEN HEART COMES THROUGH IN HER SONGS WHICH HOW SHE WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH US ALL. REST IN PEACE KAREN- I KNOW YOUR HEART WAS MADE WHOLE WHEN YOU LEFT US FOR HEAVEN'S CHOIR. PEACE TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Today brings a total of 35 long and lonely years. While some of us may have found 'new' favorites, but you are and always will be on the top of our lists, dear KC. Thank you for enriching our lives and souls. How you are sorely missed.
Happy 68th, dear KC.
"Something's Missing" could have been a hit, just needed a little tweaking.
Yup. Marcia Hines in Australia did just that! czcams.com/video/Mt_MLrI37j4/video.html
March 2, 2016 - Happy 66th Birthday, dear KC. We have you to save our day. Today. Every day. You've never really left. And here you are, still singing for us and to us. We're grateful. Forever.
February 4 2016, 33rd anniv., the anniversary we never ever wanted. I so hate the date February 4th, one of the saddest in my calendar. We miss you. I miss you. So much. Always.
Yeah she's been gone now for as many years as she lived.
I'm a head banging disco hating musician but KC could song the phone book off key and STILL do no wrong. So wrong she's gone. She would have covered a lot more ground musically had she lived. I can only imagine. It's like Hendrix. Before he died Jimi wanted to lay aside his trademark style and go towards a jazz style. Both gone to soon.
It's fabulous.... what's wrong with it? Go, Karen!!
Karen came into my life when I was 6 years old when I first heard They long to be close to you and since then her voice has been and always remember. I admire her, I admire her voice, her music her talent, and the arrangements and compositions of Richard, Carpenters who have made unique. These songs Karen's album are great, you have to listen to it entirely. It really is a beautiful legacy of Karen, invaluable
Awesome....love it .thanks so much...i love her music...RIP..Karen carpenter....i love you sweetie.....
Karen - Angel :)
🌟
amazing Karen!!!!!
I learned to love music singing Karen's song in music class in Jr high. Such a princesses 💙 love ya Karen 💌
#7 is an incredible song. Quite well
composed. Multi-genre tempo and
feel. Melody lines cross nicely.. KC
shines!! So much passion inside of
her. #8 is interesting too. Dynamics
are enhanced by her passion, sense
of timing, and pure passion.#9wow!
ANY sour opOnions don't matter. To
you only. Cynics already lost. This is
Karen having the utmost fun! Listen.
I'm sure she had more to prove here
as a soloist -to herself. And she just
confimed what she innately knew....
by completing these tunes -without
her brother...and turning them into a
memorable piece of her legacy: The
comments -from those she touches,
are all that matter. Not mere cynical
opining-opOnions! What a voice she
possessed. To think she studied the
drums first! Amazing. Natural talent.
Heaven sent. '+'
Thank you so very much for these tracks., I never thought I would here any more of Karen's amazing voice, how I miss her , there will never be anyone like Karen Carpenter.
This album is just incredible and sensitive!!! #awesome
Thank the algorythim almighty for bringin this to my attention, i will share it with my mom. She likes the carpenters, she'd wake us up jamming to them among other artists +25 years ago 😂
Thanks to the May 2024 edition of Record Collector magazine I have now discovered this…wow Karen you left such a beautiful voice behind…🙏
I think she can sing in any genre of music, I wish she would have released this record because then maybe she would have been able to come from behind her brothers shadow and truly find her voice and who she was as a person. RIP to one of the greatest voices EVER!!!
Love...love...love this!
Thank you, sweetie...K.C. FOREVER!
THAT is my ultimate reward, coming from another lifelong fan, sweetie. :-}
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Truely God gifted voice.
RIP Karen Carpenter.
On the 33rd anniversary of her death (today) I put on some of her music and wept. She left such an impression on all of us. So sad she left the way she did. :( May she rest in peace.
Anything from Karen is great Thanks!!!
Man, these tracks just prove how much of a raw/pure talent she had!!! These are rough/demo tracks that were never meant for our ears and never cleaned up and she makes no mistakes and her voice is as spot on as ever!! And I love these tracks bc they show off her true range! She had a range like no other! She can sing way low and go way up into a higher register and use her head voice with ease! There will never be another talent like Karen Carpenter! And the actual album should have been released and it would have been a way bigger hit than anything the Carpenters would have done at the time! That is exactly why they shelved it and led her on to think it was trash but it was really great and they just really wanted to hold her back and not let her break out on her own! So sad, bc I think it was honestly a one time adventure for her! I think she would have went right back to Richard after and continued the Carpenters when he got better! So selfish of them and I think it partly cost her, her life it hurt her heart so bad for the people she respected and love professionally to insult her hard work like that! Makes me tear up to think if that happened to me! 🥺😢
I watched a Doco today and did not know until now that there was an unreleased solo album. She was so devastated when , at Richards instigation, it wasn't released. I am so happy that these tracks are available. I think the album would have been a hit. She was, and still is , so loved.
Wow!! I'm a big fan. I never knew some of these existed!
hey thanks for uploading this unreleased album of our dear Karen....terribly missed❤❤❤
Thank you very much for the upload. Another Carpenters lifelong fan here!. Her voice will be with us forever.
lovely to hear some unreleased vocals of Karen.
Sou do Brasil; Nasci em 72 ! e pra mim Karen Carpenter foi uma das cantoras mais extraordinárias que surgiu nos anos 70 , eu descobri seu talento depois de sua morte no ano de 84 através de um amigo daqui , a última música da faixa é uma viagem ao céu . Beto - Brasília - df 👍👍💞🥰
It is a great album. Karen's unique voice brings magic to any moment. How lovely!! Carpenters forever!!!
thank you so much for this. just sent it to my kc group.
awesome unreleased songs of karen carpenter this is very good wow, i am amazed how good this is songs i never knew about before,karen was just one amazing one off singer. best female singer ever.
Had absolutely no idea these existed. Thank you!!
Something's Missing is my favorite of the unreleased songs....
+Cheyenne Cook Yes was just going to write... I think that is one of her best ever...
It is erie listening to this song. It is like her personal theme song.And she sings it with so much soul. If only A&M had released these songs on an album......... after see sang the songs instead of over a decade after her death..........
It's ok, but there's something missing...
I love that pleasant, emotive & sensual vocal!
I almost don't even notice the songs aren't that great, I'm just lost in the sound of her voice
KAC3 So true. She could sing random notes and sound entertaining
It's been said that she could sing the phone book & sound great.
Alain Quartermaine The rumor is that the mother was the force behind them shelving the album. Richard went along with it. Karen was devastated. Richard lied and said it was Karen’s decision to shelve it but band members said it was not her wish to shelve it.
KC can make a mediocre tune palatable just love the way she sings
Kelly Doyle It was Richard, Jerry Moss and Herb Alpert. Thought it was unreleasable. Mom of course backed Richard.
She´s still alive Karen forever
I wish. 😔🌹❤
Forever!
thank you for presenting these in quality form.
+dj newberg You're most welcome. Totally our pleasure. :-}
Thank you, RomanticTunes and Goofus KAC. I've never heard these tracks with this clear, quality sound.
Priceless!!!
Her brother and the record company didn't think this material was good enough to take to the studio and finish? Misogyny's a tough thing. But god bless Phil Ramone for listening to her, lifting her, and leaving us this final moment with her.
Thanks for making these available - it is great to hear something unheard from Karen.. Thanks again
