So much for any theories about Karen's voice in late 1981, she still has "it"....
listen in at 6 minutes , a snippet of Crystal Lullaby...Brazil 1981 interview:
I couldn't agree more, GaryAlan! She sounds like the Karen of '72 in this snippet. She definitely still had 'it'. What a voice. You can even hear the happy DJ reacting to it. It's like the room stopped when Karen sang.
Please Mr Postman during the 'skit' moment for one of the contestants in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll turn the radio on. Steve Wright played We've Only Just Begun on BBC Radio 2's Love Songs this morning. 4 Carpenter's tracks in one day is pretty good going.Hello everyone.
The Paul O'Grady show on BBC radio 2 in the UK has a Carpenters triple play coming up in the next 25 minutes if anyone is able to listen.
^^!^^For a moment, I would like to rename this thread as "Should Have Heard Carpenters!"
Two nights ago, I was in a Hallmark Card Store perusing Christmas cards when suddenly I heard "Greeting cards have all been sent" coming from the store speakers. I immediately perked up and thought that this would be my first time this holiday season hearing Carpenters in public. But, alas, I couldn't even make believe it's my first time (this year) hearing a Carpenters' Christmas song in public...
As I listened to the faint music more closely, I realized this was NOT Karen! This was blasphemy, pure and simple. I was seething. I wanted to complain to the store manager. Who was this interloping singer? I don't know, and I don't care. Perhaps it's a compliment that other singers have covered Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Darling," but I don't want to hear anyone other than Karen singing this song!
Is that the one where Petula Clark sings Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in a flapperish style?!Watching "Sings Beatles" on BBc Four catch up. Lovely to see Richard and Karen singing "Help" today.
