I love how John Denver is so tender with Karen. That's the type of person Karen needed to be with, I just wish she would have found someone like that. I feel it would have helped her in a way.
Science is Surreal, that's exactly what I was thinking. And if only John Denver didn't marry Annie, it would have been really interesting if Karen Carpenter and John Denver actually got married in reality. And yes he was very kind and tender to Karen something I wish she could have experienced on earth. However nonetheless Karen Carpenter and John Denver had beautiful voices and they harmonize so well together!
She may have found that someone but a lot of people (family, Richard, record company, etc...) where meddling in her personal life and who she was trying to date. Pretty sad when you read the details of what was occurring.
@@rover8783 That's right. There is a video on here, John Adrian, working for A&M in the UK, hit it off very well with her, thought about moving to L.A., but the company ordered him to break it off.
I have thought the same thing, (though John was still married to Annie Martell in '76) or a Dan Fogelberg (also married. ) Got a hunch that Richard and Agnes could not have handled that.
Two of my favourite singers......both dead and missed very much by the world. We don't get music like this anymore sadly.....maybe I am a nostalgic sap but that's the way I feel.
Karen died of anorexia, an inheritable psychological disorder which kills 10% of those who experience it. John died in the crash of an airplane he had just purchased, which had a non-standard control layout built by and for a pilot of much larger physical stature. To suggest that either was a suicide indicates an ignorance of the facts.
Karen at her most beautiful it breaks my heart that she wasn't loved as she should have been and had a much happier,better life.I will always love and miss you Karen xx
+Derek Gold. But she WAS ! She was loved by millions all over the world . Perhaps she didn't receive that kind of love from the people she most needed it from. But as long as she has fans she has an abundance of love .
did u see it also? her eyes were on him not the camera and even went to lay her head on his shoulder!! that would be a sweet couple John Denver and karen!!
I agree Michelle . . . I also sure hope they both made it there safely . . . if not, I sure hope at least some angels are good at doing singing impressions . . .
Unreal,the best sings with the best,John and Karen,what more do we want? Really missing them,RIP,John and Karen,you guys have brought so much good memories to all your fans around the world,love you guys very much forever
His pure tenor and her rich alto what a great combination. Wish the song choice had been different. Something that they could have really harmonized on.
Awwww....how much more sweeter heaven is now with those two angels...we miss them terribly, thank you both for leaving your music. We dare not ask for more
Oh WOW !! How WONDERFULLY their voices blended !! I would have LOVED to hear them record together !! What a GREAT LOSS FOR US that we lost them both so early !! THANK YOU for sharing this !!
I am sure Karen and John are serenading Jesus as we speak... God Bless them both - what a fantastic gift to us for a few years. Love the 70s stuff....thanks for posting this stuff.
First time I've seen this! Their vocal harmonies sound so good together, like they were just meant to duet with each other. I wish there were more songs with them singing together. Karen and John left us too soon, but heaven has one heck of a band!
Two of my all time favorite singers. grew up listening to both of them. Karen had a special voice as did John and they sang about good things.....John actually sings his rendition of James Taylor' Fire and Rain wish is pretty awesome. I love James the way he sang it too....John sings it just a tad differently. The 70's rendered some great talent.
Hermosas voces, hermosas personas, hermosos recuerdos. Escuchándolos brotan con nuestras lágrimas lo mejor de nuestros recuerdos. Ha sido un regalo el haberlos tenido juntos en nuestro tiempo. Gracias a ambos.
WOW! I had never heard this until right now ! How could I have missed this piece of musical genius for so long ? What a beautiful mélange of two of the world's most distinctive voices, This is an absolute delight .
Rest in peace beautiful song birds....xoxo forever...2 of my favorites together. What a treat! So wonderful to be able to see videos like this one. Thanks so much!
ThePHILALLENSHOW There's a Karen Carpenter website & a recent question was who would be the perfect husband for Karen. I was surprised at some suggestions...especially re: Elvis Presley. My answer was John Denver. They were both sweet gentle people with golden voices. They both had a dark side but I think together they could have made it through. This video shows them as the sweet couple I envisioned & that kiss sealed the deal for me.
@@andym3603 Find the Petula Clark video where she talks about Elvis and Karen. I think Elvis wanted to skip right to honeymoon until Petula took Karen out of there.
@@harvey1954 Thanks Harvey's. I think I did see that video. I've talked about that incident & many have said they thought it was just hype. But in that I interview Petula made it quite clear that she had to get Karen out of that room because she could tell what Elvis might want to do. She said Karen had no idea of his motives as she was so you g & naive.
Just imagine how beautiful Heaven sounds with those two singing away - so lovely! I really miss them, their voices are just as angelic here on Earth as they are in Heaven.
two of my VERY FAV singers EVER, so sad that they are BOTH "gone" from us... to think HOW MUCH MORE wonderful music and accomplishments they would have done in addition to their "many"... really is sad, I STILL cry when I hear either of them sing, they had a HUGE impact on me musically from an early age, I am a 70's girl born in 1965, so these are My singers, My songs... Great era for music, song... RIP Karen and John, you are both missed...
If this video could be properly packaged in China, it would sell about 30X platinum -- Karen Carpenter and John Denver were the most-loved recording artists there since the country was "opened" to foreign music around 1980,and the Carpenters and Denver were instrumental in China's escape from the "music-less" dark ages of the Maoist Era.
The angels and Jesus himself up in heaven are enjoying what we so richly had on earth for only a short time. RIP Karen and John, your music will last for eternity
I love them both, so sweet, they were both immensely talented and died WAY too young. :( Karen was so rare not many singers like her in the world with that kind of magic. And also John too, he was as well. Both had soothing pure voices. :)
I saw Karen at the Springfield Civic Center in Massachusetts and it will be a show I will never forgot. The seats were right up front with nothing in front of me except the stage. A voice and talent that will never be duplicated. I miss you Karen.
I Think They would've been a Great Couple Being How Mesmerizing and Inspirational their Music was. What a Great Duo Combination! One of the Bests I've Seen.
Their vocal harmonies blend perfectly in this! Two great singers gone long before their time :(. If Karen was still around, she would undoubtedly produced some great music and gone far with her career.
Karen is an Angel ...... She was a Gift to this Cruel World and if there is a Heaven after this life, it won't be a Heaven to Me unless Karen is Within it. John Denver was an inspiration as well, BUT, I've Never been In Love with Him.........as I am with Karen !
Escuché esta canción cuando era pequeño y me quedó grabada en la memoria, pero nunca supe el nombre. Hoy, después de 40 años la he vuelto a encontrar. Gracias por subirla.
Two singers who, tragically, left us way too soon. I can't believe this has never been officially been put out on record. I saw it once on a Japanese CD, but didn't want to pay $37 for it because the American version was suppose to come out. When it did the US version dropped this gem. What a crime.
Love hearing these two sing together!! This clip is also wonderful for the fact that it includes a terrific Richard Carpenter arrangement and orchestration along with those trademark Carpenter harmonies!!

Two of the purest and most authentic voices in music history.
LOL
John Denver and Karen Carpenter. Surprised the stage didn't explode from musical talent overload.
NOW that was very funny,,
I can imagine Karen and John singing in Heaven together. The 70's were wonderful! God bless them and their families!
Two of my favourite singers......both dead and missed very much by the world. We don't get music like this anymore sadly.....maybe I am a nostalgic sap but that's the way I feel.
+Gary Narborough I agree with you Gary. I miss them too.
+Gary Narborough me too dont exist any of this kind of music....(im from argentina)
So sad. The 70s yielded a lot of passionate and gifted singer songwriters all hardly active anymore. I could go on but enough said.
Karen died of anorexia, an inheritable psychological disorder which kills 10% of those who experience it. John died in the crash of an airplane he had just purchased, which had a non-standard control layout built by and for a pilot of much larger physical stature.

Into his arms. So very beautiful.
Two talents who could actually sing pitch perfect live.
This sounds prerecorded but I still like it.
Perfect pitch
Both of them left us way too soon.
I've always loved both Karen Carpenter and John Denver. I didn't know they had done a duet together. Both had beautiful voices.
Jerry Weintraub was their manager.
Two of the most beloved singers of their time and still beloved to this day.
Karen at her most beautiful it breaks my heart that she wasn't loved as she should have been and had a much happier,better life.I will always love and miss you Karen xx
+Derek Gold. But she WAS ! She was loved by millions all over the world . Perhaps she didn't receive that kind of love from the people she most needed it from. But as long as she has fans she has an abundance of love .
What a beautiful statement. My thoughts exactly.
She would have had a better chance at happiness if she'd never been a star.
What a voice she had ... instantly recognizable ... wonderous ... goddess
WOW How did I not know this exists?? The two GREATEST voices in history together!
2-4-83 now 2-4-24😢 Miss You So Much Karen! Love You since 1970.❤
There is such a gorgeous chemistry between them
did u see it also? her eyes were on him not the camera and even went to lay her head on his shoulder!! that would be a sweet couple John Denver and karen!!
Heaven must have some great music.
Love the Beach Boys but hated this song in 1967.
Michelle Schmidt what a fantastic comment ;o)
I agree Michelle . . . I also sure hope they both made it there safely . . . if not, I sure hope at least some angels are good at doing singing impressions . . .
It does, cue The Righteous Brothers' "Rock and Roll Heaven".
Unreal,the best sings with the best,John and Karen,what more do we want? Really missing them,RIP,John and Karen,you guys have brought so much good memories to all your fans around the world,love you guys very much forever
KAREN, simply the best, unbeatable, best female voice ............
without comment
Two musical icons gone...May they both be resting in peace.
His pure tenor and her rich alto what a great combination. Wish the song choice had been different. Something that they could have really harmonized on.
Agreed. Whoever put that medley together should be shot. Those voices deserved so much more then that.
I agree. What a poor song choice. 😢
John Denver was one of the greatest singers and songwriters..and Karen Carpenter was a once in a lifetime singer with a voice of an angel........
Awwww....how much more sweeter heaven is now with those two angels...we miss them terribly, thank you both for leaving your music. We dare not ask for more
amen
Oh WOW !! How WONDERFULLY their voices blended !! I would have LOVED to hear them record together !!
What a GREAT LOSS FOR US that we lost them both so early !!
THANK YOU for sharing this !!
Whoever thumbs down this, you won't find a better pair of voices today. Go listen to Rihanna and that crap
Two beautiful singers but not the best mix of songs.
Denver could carry a tune. But his voice, meh.
OMG.. two perfect voices. Absolute heaven. Just wish different songs. They had great chemistry too! ❤️
Karen's voice was so mature for her age.
I am sure Karen and John are serenading Jesus as we speak... God Bless them both - what a fantastic gift to us for a few years. Love the 70s stuff....thanks for posting this stuff.
These two are my favorites, from the 70's and 80's!! So nice to see them in a duet!! This was my music, back then!! Gone but NEVER forgotten!!
Oh Karen, those lows... My god she was a phenomenal singer. And a wonderful kind person... Thanks KC.
Super nova meets Quasar!!!
It would've been interesting if Karen would've covered "Annie's Song" and John would've covered "I Need To Be In Love".
rkmugen Good idea
YES!
Not lovin the song choices but still incredible. I’d take the phone book with these two together. Lol
Two of my all-time favorite vocalists.
Two of my all-time favorite singers. I miss them both terribly. It is wonderful to see them together.

2 great voices and great personalities.they will never be forgotten.
Totally amazing , best duo ever
John and Karen are looking at each other with such tenderness and warmth. Karen always looked so happy when she was singing these sort of medleys.
My two favorite singers!
All of you said it all. A beautiful combo and two beautiful singers who are sorely miss!!!
These two amazing singers, have nothing to compare to!!
Sing so very beautifully together
Hermosas voces, hermosas personas, hermosos recuerdos. Escuchándolos brotan con nuestras lágrimas lo mejor de nuestros recuerdos. Ha sido un regalo el haberlos tenido juntos en nuestro tiempo. Gracias a ambos.
Two beautiful and talented people...so sorely missed.
Shes fantastic and i love john denver ...wow
they both had meloncoly spirits...seamed to be singing happy songs...with sad spirits...but so talented...we are blessed to have these glimpes
Karen Carpenter and John Denver both have passed away. But were great on the show together singling good vibrations. R.I.P both Kare and John.
Such great talent has left us. Miss 'em both.
It is wonderful how happy she looks. Both of them actually,
God bless Karen and John !
John Denver was sweet on Karen.
God bless their soul.
2 wonderful talents and now they are both gone. The music world and all of us lost so much when they left us for that big stage in the sky.
Poor Karen :( she's so thin here but she seems so happy to be singing with John :) rest in peace karen xoxo
Thank you for sharing this! Singing together forever
Boy do I wish they did more together. Just wonderful.
Would have been nice to have these two record an original duet together
Wonderful - clever juxtaposition of the two songs - they were both consummate artists and extremely talented
WOW! I had never heard this until right now ! How could I have missed this piece of musical genius for so long ? What a beautiful mélange of two of the world's most distinctive voices, This is an absolute delight .
Rest in peace beautiful song birds....xoxo forever...2 of my favorites together. What a treat!
So wonderful to be able to see videos like this one. Thanks so much!
Back in the day I missed out on this beautiful music. I was to mixed up. Damn shame. I love it now. Thank you for second chances. Love it!!!

Simply the best female pop singer of all time...
Just imagine how beautiful Heaven sounds with those two singing away - so lovely! I really miss them, their voices are just as angelic here on Earth as they are in Heaven.
denvers clear tenor voice and karens breathy contralto blend well indeed! =)
I learned this song "Coming through the Rye" when I was in Grade 5.
Love the duet between Karen and John!

Sally Ann Loveday I have been
Two ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT VOCALISTS OF OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stop listening to this. It's wonderful.
Absolutely beautiful.
I miss them both.
Thx.
The angels and Jesus himself up in heaven are enjoying what we so richly had on earth for only a short time.
RIP Karen and John, your music will last for eternity
Marvelous! Two of the most unbelievable voices together - two great artists and human beings - sadly missed...Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this!
I love them both, so sweet, they were both immensely talented and died WAY too young. :( Karen was so rare not many singers like her in the world with that kind of magic. And also John too, he was as well. Both had soothing pure voices. :)

Hard to fathom these two are gone.
My gosh what a wonderful treat this was!!! Thank you so very much!! Wow!!
Rest In Peace Karen and John😢
John Denver and Karen Carpenter had such beautiful chemistry together, so warm and tender, and I love how he kissed her so sweetly and gently.

Grew up listening to John and Karen on LPs. Great to see them together here.
Escuché esta canción cuando era pequeño y me quedó grabada en la memoria, pero nunca supe el nombre. Hoy, después de 40 años la he vuelto a encontrar. Gracias por subirla.
That was nice. They both made it look effortless! So sad they are gone.
my favorite female singer and the co-writer of my favorite vest song(country road).
brilliant stuff!
every time i listen to JD's voice, it amazes me.
Two singers who, tragically, left us way too soon. I can't believe this has never been officially been put out on record.

Great video great talent as I love Karen Carpenters voice and John Denvers voice ! They did a awesome job on that song !
wow....never saw this!!
From the Carpenters first tv special. I still have my cassette tape from when I taped it from the tv set.
WOW!! What an awesome video of two of my favorite artists singing TOGETHER!!!
Thanks!! 5 Stars!!!!!
A+A+A+A+A+
Love hearing these two sing together!! This clip is also wonderful for the fact that it includes a terrific Richard Carpenter arrangement and orchestration along with those trademark Carpenter harmonies!!
