Any Karen Carpenter Fans?

[cryplydog]

I still listen to them once in a while as well as well as most of the 60's stuff. As a matter of fact I guess all I listen to now is serius fm 60's.

One hour, fifty-three minute documentary (mostly singing).

I used to listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs. When they played, I'd sing along.

And Richard is a big Mopar guy.

He has quite a few. https://www.richardandkarencarpenter.com/Auto-00_Index.htm

A fan now only for a FEW years......, bought this album new in 1970.

Have some others around here somewhere too.

It’s funny, I’m a metal guy and I’ve hung with metal guys since the early seventies. One thing has been constant: metal guys respect and appreciate Karen Carpenter, Johnny Cash, and ABBA.
The first two because of their undeniable talent, the last because, well, have you SEEN the girls in ABBA?

I was right there with ya until you said "ABBA"....

Kern Carpenter.
Wait....Did I read the title wrong?

Another beautiful voice.

 

[fratzog lover]

She could hold her own behind the drum kit too.

Very underrated on the kit.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Had a crush on her in grade school....good memories.

I had a crush on Linda Ronstadt back in the day. Here she is with her old back up band.

Why the red X of shame?

 

[Xp29h]

As others have stated.. not my cup of tea for music, but a great wonderful talented voice and musician. Drummer too...
Any drummers out there will get that one!

 

[Mark Barnes]

She had a remarkably soothing and pleasant voice. Wonderful singer. Sadly, many times mental problems are far worse than physical ones.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you

Richard said he wanted to buy a 68 Charger when they came out,but they were still an up and coming band,and he bought a 68 Plymouth wagon for the band instead of the Charger.
