I was on stage with Karen Carpenter once. I was a kid, but they did a song called Sing a Song where they use a children's choir in the chorus. My school provided the children's choir for their concert in my town and I was in the choir, so I was on stage with them during that one song! 1973 I think.
I did that TOO!! 1974 Wow! ❤
❤
Cool!
@@maryhuhnke4706 That's cool, it could have been '74 instead of '73. I was in the 6th grade, but I don't remember what time of year it was. There must be hundreds of adults out there that participated as kids!
How lucky you were. I know you must appreciate this woman's voice as much as I do.
A reviewer with Rolling Stone Magazine once said, "Karen Carpenter's voice is like the sound of a lover whispering in your ear." I can't find any flaw in that statement. Voice of an angel.... gone too soon! RIP Karen.
Nor can I. What an absolutely brilliant description. For me, I have always said this is what God's angels sound like in heaven, only in this earthly realm, and for almost 33 years. Loved you and miss you still to this day, but your music lives in to mesmerize new generations. Thank you, God, for sharing Karen with us, if only for a short time.❤❤❤❤
Her brother called her voice "PHONO-GENIC" and Herb Albert said it felt like she was singing only to you and sitting in your lap...
I love how deeply you feel towards the music and the sensitivity you feel towards Karen herself. I really enjoy your Carpenter reactions...
No "'auto tune". No "pitch correction". When you look at her voice on a pitch analyzer you see her hit the exact pitch every time, naturally.
I had forgotten this one, another beautiful song by the Carpenters. Thanks to whoever suggested this one.
I suggested it, and so you're welcome! 😁
I'm sorry, 'cause I didn't suggest it.😭
One of my favorite artists of all time!!!! I absolutely love the Carpenters!!!
Oh she's my favorite....who's better??
The Carpenters, second to none. Always excellent.
The Carpenters were one of my favs for all my youth and adult life....I just turned 70!
It's so awesome to see someone from the younger generation come to appreciate and fall in love with the music that is Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard. They truly were special. If you haven't listened to it yet, you really MUST listen to Superstar, my all-time favorite Carpenters song.
Great reaction! Their most overdubbed single: SO MANY Karens singing harmony with so many Richards. And yes great instrumental arrangement.
Close to perfection.... The beat the harmonies the guitar solo the lyrics Richards arrangement and of course Karen's voice ❤❤❤ thanks
Great reaction. Bravo. Great song. Horizon is my favorite album. And it has my favorite Carpenter’s song, “I Can Dream, Can’t I.” It showcases that Karen could sing anything. IMHO, the GOAT.
It's one of the great injustices of pop music history that there was never a Carpenters standards album...
One of their best produced songs.
Such a brilliantly constructed pop song, with so many complex things happening musically. Karen sounds especially gorgeous on those low, intimate verses.
Love how you react to so many different musical genres and how you appreciate them all. This is my fave Carpenters song.
My absolute favorite of your reactions is when you do The Carpenters, of course they all are enjoyable. ☺️
What an arrangement. I wore this single out when I was kid. And I was Led Zep guy.
While it is understandable that we focus on Karen's voice. After all it ranks at the top of all female pop artists. But her brother's ability to arrange and score these songs is incredible. I particularly enjoy his use of the oboe and harmonica in many songs His ability to find the right instrument to convey a mood is outstanding.
Richard's arrangements were genius. He knew exactly how to get the most of Karen's voice.
Karens voice made Richeys job easier.
I hope you get the chance to watch the video. The outdoor footage was filmed at Huntington Library Gardens in San Marino, California, and featured some footage of a red moon bridge, which was roped off to the general public in the Japanese Garden there. Should do their remake of "Please Mr. Postman" from this album, their third and final #1 on the Hot 100. The video for that was filmed at Disneyland, the first time they'd allowed an artist to do that there. Karen adored Mickey Mouse.
The album that this comes from is by far and away my favorite of their entire catalog. Just flows so beautifully from beginning to end.
I couldn’t agree more. Great album. Karen’s vocals never sounded better.
A Song For You is a great album too
Horizon is an awesome album. I play that thing from start to finish quite often. Each piece is a joy to listen to, and the bookends of Aurora and Eventide are beautiful.
I also love the percussion in this song. And to think that Karen is playing those drums while also singing like a nightingale - it’s purely magical.!
Both Karen and Richard, amazing talents!❤
Jim Gordon , a session drummer is actually drumming in this song.
She hit that F# right on the button at the start of the song. She was known as "one take Karen" in the studio for her singing abilities. She was a true alto with full control through her entire vocal range. Such a powerful and soulful voice.
This is my favorite Carpenters song. I always have to play it twice!
Grew up with these great Carpenters songs!! Karen had such a sweet pure voice!! Please listen to Donna Summer next. She is the voice of a generation.
She left us because the other angels missed her. The one and only Karen Carpenter…her voice was heaven sent ❤
Love love love the drumming on this Carpenters song.
This was by Jim Gordon. What a drummer and what a tragic story.
Aside from listening to Karen's vocals, my favorite part of this song is the drumming. Listen to it with good headphones - it's awesome!
love your reactions,also that you are open to so many different types of music and appreciate them for what they are.Karen had a once in a generation type of voice and you clearly know that,keep expanding your sheer joy and pleasure at hearing all types of music,it is a great joy to watch you.
Oh, how I wish Karen could have seen your joy - and fun - while listening to her have her way with the tune and lyrics!! Maybe she did from above. If so, it was with a huge smile. 😊
People used to laugh at any man who admitted to liking The Carpenters, paticularly if they spotted the album on the shelves. But I couldn't care less; that song has sent shivers down my spine since the day it was released
I was in the third-row center in Orlando, FL November 1973 and envied the children from Aloma Elementary School who got to sing with them.
My favorite Carpenters song
You've got to watch the video
The number one female vocalist of all time Karen Carpenter timeless music of the Carpenters rip Karen Carpenter
Voice of an angle, love her❤️
What kind of an angle? Acute or obtuse?
@@evanhughes1510hee hee hee...
@evanhughes1510 He's right though.
@@markharris1125 it was a joke…
This song was, along with Superstar, my favorite Carpenter songs.
Such a beautiful song♥️brings back memories of my childhood💖 Karen had such talent🎼🌷💫💔 great and heartfelt reaction💙
Would love to see you react to Rita Coolidge
Boy this song sure has brought back memories a of a first love back in the 70’s. Loved The Carpenters from the first time I heard them. Karen had the most amazing voice and so sad that she passed away so young. Thanks for sharing.
I had forgotten that song. Thanks for reminding me of it!
My reaction to your reaction: tears of joy in my eyes...
My reaction to this song: it's always been one of my favorite Carpenters' songs.
"Only Yesterday" should have gone to #1 on Billboard Hot 100, but #4 isn't bad!
I like the way you let the song play through before critiquing it. Thank you. I like watching you enjoy the song!
I adore your reactions to her (their) music. ❤
My favorite Carpenters song from my favorite Carpenters album. Horizon is AMAZING!!
Desperado and Solitaire are amazing.
You should do side 2 of their Now And Then Album. It starts off with, Yesterday Once More and then goes through a bunch of their favourite oldies songs. I know it's a bit long but you can't go wrong and you would love it.
The oldies medley has a substantial section of Skeeter Davis' End Of The World in it; Karen ends that on a baritone note...
The chorus on this song is so smooth, amazing harmony and energy. It's almost like she's singing with the Beatles or something.
Horizon is great album, my song off it is…….Love Me For What I Am ( co written by their lead guitarist Tony Peluso)…..Even the short Aurora and Eventide…are beautiful and haunting.
I remember my mom humming the "baby baby" part 😅
This is such a great song for sure! ❤
You really should hear their astounding version of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina” along with its prelude “On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada,” from the musical EVITA, recorded in 1977 when it was still only a London stage musical, before it became a Broadway sensation. They give it the full treatment with chorus, orchestra, and Karen’s superlative performance. 🎭 ❤
Love your reaction to the Carpenters. Want to be even more blown away? Listen to “Solitaire.” Will be interested in your reaction.
You've just scratched the surface on an amazing group and a multitude of great songs.
Love your reaction and it’s my favourite Carpenters song too. It has everything in it and I prefer the longer album version so you get to hear more of that great chorus.
4:58 is "one of those moments" in a song which takes your breath away: we've just been treated to a lovely instrumental bridge, culminating in another brilliant Tony Peluso guitar solo, and as if that's not enough, suddenly Karen comes breezing back in with a bit of vocal magic in that wonderful lower register. It genuinely doesn't get any better than that, in any song!
The carpenters, to me, were the best sibling dou to ever grace the music industry! Richard,s musical genius and karen,s golden voice! What a wonderful combination! Their songs are classics and will live until the end of time! Long after their peirs made fun of them for being square in their time! I love it it when nice people get the last laugh!
Simply arrangements CAN'T get better than that. It's a lesson: that, kids, is how you arrange and record a song.
Carpenters was awesome talented. Miss her much 😢
This one is my personal favorite. Next suggest you try HURTING EACH OTHER and SUPERSTAR
It's been a long time since I have heard this one...ty
Great reaction! Made me smile right along with you, even tho I've heard that song a million times in my life. Thank you :)
Thanks so much, Salvo! I had not heard this one in so long... forgot how great it was... (besides her low-to-high vocals.. check out heavy on the DRUMS.. don't know if Karen played on this, but we know that was her first love) appreciate your reaction... as always..
one of the most sincere reactions i've watched..
thank you for charing it..
two of their lovely ones worth reacting are:
1- yesterday once more
2- top of the world
Both those two are Carpenter/Bettis originals, too...
beyond the beautiful and rich arrangement and, of course, the perfect divine gorgeous Karen's voice, this song has the most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard in any other song throughout the last 100years: "... I've found my home here in your arms, No where else on earth I'd really rather be, Life wait for us share it with me, The best is about to be, and so much is left for us to see..." Those lyrics in the Karen's voice is... there's no word with power enough to describe how gorgeous the feeling transmited is.... LOVE U KAREN!
Karen had, the cleanest and clearest voice ever!!!
Hope you will react to "Solitaire". My favorite of theirs.
He did. He reacted to this entire album, and Solitaire was on it
@@evanhughes1510 Oh, didn't see it. When I search SalvoG Carpenters it doesn't show it.
@@Dannyboy. it’s on his Patreon page. That’s where all his movie, musicals, and full album reactions are at.
@@evanhughes1510 Ok I see. Thank you for the info !
Thank you for your reaction to this Carpenters song. Please also react to their song, "A Place to Hideaway" Thank you. Peace.
please react for ''this masqurade'' carpentors
There’s a video for this song. You may want to check it out on your own.
I love the song "Happy" off of this same album. Beautiful
You really should check out I'm Caught Between Goodbye and I Love You. Her range in it is ridiculous.
He did that one. It’s on this same album, and he did a reaction to the entire album on his Patreon page
My favorite Carpenters song definitely. Karen's voice is perfection.
3:37 is nothing short of heaven, which your expression says it all.
Karen's voice is like melted vanilla ice cream - so rich, so sweet. It's like getting hit on the head with a valentine.
Another exceptional song from the Carpenters!
I recently rediscoved The Carpenters. I used to listen to her constantly in the 70's. I realize how bad modern music is when listening to her again. I was crushed when she passed so tragically.
I'm glad you found a somewhat "happy song" from Karen. She can evoke a feeling of desperation in all of us with her sad songs.
Other happier songs KC sang: Top Of The World, Sing, I Have You...on the latter of those she duets with herself in the choruses, it's wonderful...
If you can find the 1989 TV movie, "The Karen Carpenter Story," maybe you'd enjoy it, Sal. It makes me happy to see that the great music I was raised on in the 70s lives on.
Awesome reaction. Love you so much. This is one of those songs that I hope will be a theme song for my life at that time, some day.
It was so refreshing to listen to the audio from the album (which I bought years ago), as opposed to watching the video, which every other reactor has done. The video cuts off the last 30 seconds of the song. By the way, about Tony Peluso, he was added in a remix of "I Won't Last a Day Without You." Wasn't on the album. I bought the album, then heard the remix on the radio, and went back to the album, wondering where the wonderful Peluso guitar fills at the ends of phrases went. If you ever do that song, please consider the version that's from the "Singles 1969-1981," which is the remix. Really enjoy how you REALLY listen.
Top 10 on my school bus!!!!
I do believe you will love doing a reaction of Karen Carpenters Make Believe it's your First Time. It's the version off her solo album with just her pure voice and a piano background.
I so love and mss the music of that era. Has never neen matched.
This is my favorite reaction from you, watching you discover this great Karen song, that I had forgotten about is just great! Thank you!
👍I HEAR YA!!! 😮
Enjoyed your reaction!
Salvo, KC's voice IS also the female harmony, as is in all her songs. Born (not trained) with vocal talent not heard since. She died from anorexia after a continuous onset beginning in 1975. Sang while playing drums in many songs. Listen to 'I Can Dream Cant I', a big band type ballad. Unbelievable.
great reaction. love this track.
You aren't obviously old enough to remember them on the radio but believe it or not, that guitar solo got them a lot of grief. The hard core fans thought they were selling out with a rock part. I've always loved this song and it's one of my favorites. I actually have pretty much all their albums still today on the original vinyl. Let me also tell you, ine the 70's you didn't say you liked the carpenters. It just wasn’t cool.
Im really glad some of your generation can appreciate great music from then. There is a new artist out there now who is essentially writing great music like the 70's. Her name is Laufey. Check her out. She's 23 and more than amazing.
I would really like to see your reaction to The Carpenter's "Mr. Guder." Please?
That’s a good one
Ohhh if he likes the multitrack harmonies, the neo-Bach stuff on that track will blow his mind...the Close To You album (1970), which has Mr Guder on it, was the purest expression of the Carpenters sound, with the multitracking and the jazz and classical influences.
I’ll add that there is a very recent restoration of a classic performance. 1973 on The Tonight Show. Looks like it aired yesterday(once more?).

.
Richard contributed many of the arrangments with Karen on Drums and percussion. She was really at her best when behind the drum kit.
When the tempo of the song increased, it somehow reminded me of ABBU, I always think that one of the groups could have seriously influenced them.
As always, Karen voice is superb. But this one, I just love the beat and the drums.
Karen had one of THE best and most beautiful natural voices ever heard before or since
Karen may also have been the drummer for the recording of Only Yesterday since in, the early days, she was the group's drummer. The album was released, remember, in 1975.
Karen Carpenter was my first female singer I listen to on the radio. I instantly fell in Love with her voice. Salvo, please listen to "I'm on Top of the World" by the Carpenters. Upbeat catchy song. 💜🎤
That song was to have been just an album track...but they played it live and audiences went nuts for it, so it got released as a single. Went to #1 on the country chart in Lynn Anderson's cover version. Carpenter/Bettis original song...
80K! And it's not even April! WooHoo!
80k what?
@@evanhughes1510 Subscribers. He hopes to get to 100K by the end of the year.
A piece of delicious ear candy....
Mr. Postman or Top of the World or Hurting each other or Ticket to ride..... way to go 😅
She made de duet with Willie Nelson in we are the world. "That's what friends are for", with Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight. Also, "Heartbreaker", written for her by Bee Gees. I love her voice. And she's older cousin of Whitney Houston.
Not Karen!
Dionne Warwick?
@@stevetournay6103Yes, that sounds right. A good singer, but certainly nothing like Karen.
If you haven't already, check out Tori Holub. She could be Karen Carpenter reincarnated. She has a full cover of "We've On;y Just Begun" that is absolutely fantastic.
Divine.Karen also had a fine vocal sound while talking btw.
You really need to do a reaction to Calling Occupants of Interplanetary craft I really want to see your expressive face when that track takes you on its complete journey
