Engelbert Humperdinck remembers the Carpenters

[Simon KC1950]

Engelbert discusses touring with the Carpenters in their early days as an opening act. Also a funny story about Carpenters having to do the same set twice in the same show because Humperdinck had lost his voice, Karen taking his children for walks around Tahoe and his thoughts on Karen.

Thanks Simon. Brought a lump to my throat when he said she'd ask to take the kids for walks. Very sweet.

Got to be honest when he said that karen would take his kids out for a walk was a nice thing. It made me feel so good to know that she would do something like that. Now that i think about it i know that she had god children but i can't seem to remember what she would call them. Anyone knows?

I think it was the kidlets because they were twins.

They were Frenda’s kids.
