Vocal experts concluded long ago that Karen's voice was what they call "pitch perfect." I just call it perfect!
-
Frank Sinatra said Karen was the only singer he would pay to see.
-
"I'm really a drummer that can just sing a little bit" "Karen"
-
Paul McCartney has said that Karen had "the best female voice in the world: melodic, tuneful and distinctive".
-
This song was "the song" at everyone's wedding for many, many years.
-
Karen's not only an incredible singer but a natural born drummer.
-
NO autotune, just Karen. Fantastic!!!
-
She derailed me when I was 8 years old listening to her in 73. Her voice was strong and melancholy at the same time. Never heard another woman sound like her!
-
Karen's voice is timeless. It's like listening to an old friend. This song was originally used for a bank commercial.
-
This song was the main wedding song of the 70's. It was sung at every wedding for years.
-
Close to you is not just an ending for THIS song, but it is another #1 hit for them.
-
Karen loved playing drums first of all. She described herself as a drummer who happened to sing. Talk about humility. We miss you. R.I.P. Karen. 💔
-
Brother Richard heard this melody on a bank commercial and asked the composer Paul Williams if there was a full version of the song. The rest is musical history. Karen had the most beautiful recording voice I’ve ever heard and Richard’s arrangements were equally brilliant and she was known for nailing her vocals perfectly in just one take in the studio.
-
Karen Carpenter and Anne Murray.....effortless perfect pitch.
-
I met Karen in the mid-70s and talked to her for a few minutes during sound check. She was lovely.
-
Richard Carpenter was the arranger. He should get great credit also .Karen great Talent and sad loss RIP.
-
RIP Karen😢😢😢…….. maybe the most beautiful voice in the history of music
