During the last week, I searched the internet for Carpenters related videos.
I found several:
The opening of MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC, then Richard and Karen perform WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN with Karen on drums, and then Herb Alpert sings THIS GUY'S IN LOVE WITH YOU.
TOP OF THE WORLD, which is taken from their first tv special, and which is the same as in CARPENTERS GOLD.
And to my big surprise:
SUPERSTAR - THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY.
This is the movie by dircetor Todd Haynes, which uses Barbie dolls to portray Karen and Richard. It was forbidden by Richard, officially because of Carpenters songs being used in this movie without permission. The real reasons are different for sure.
This is a great movie. If you want to understand, why Karen developed her eating disorder, this is the movie you have to watch. It's a tribute to Karen, although it is very sad.

Shortly after writing this thread, I discovered youtube for the first time. There are so many Carpenter videos - it's fantastic! I think, this will be a long Carpenters weekend for me.....
