I'm always amazed with this time period with Karen singing what is essentially an album from 1980 called CARPENTERS MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC and a late 79 solo album as well as 81s Made In America Karen maintained a public and apparently studio vitality. The photo shoots from the same time are quite contradictory. For what sounded like a healthy Karen post-HORIZON, what the pics reveal is another chapter. I suppose when you're riddled with talent...true talent, the art is uninhibited. However as much as Karen reportedly love drums I don't see her drumming on three albums concurrently. Drumming is no easy task and singing too? Too stressful but in the early 70s Karen made it seem effortless at my CarpenterS concerts and tv. Little arms, big drumsticks. Little woman big voice. I don't know how she managed to produce music but produce she did. A remarkable feat.
