Wonderful! I love the acoustic guitar accompaniment. Thanks for posting.Rolling Stone....excerpt...
See Brandy Clark's Wistful Cover of the Carpenters' 'Merry Christmas, Darling'
"Singer-songwriter offers bittersweet unplugged rendition of the duo's holiday classic, first recorded in 1970.
"Merry Christmas Darling," first recorded by the Carpenters in 1970,
consistently ranks among the perennial Christmas favorites. With the late Karen Carpenter's
dreamy, pristine vocals at the forefront of what is essentially a bummer tune about being separated
during this special time of year, the song has become even more popular since it was first released,
with Natalie Cole, Amy Grant, Glee star Lea Michele, and country artists Deana Carter and Phil Vassar
among those who have covered it."

Notwithstanding Carpenters' performance on the Tonight Show,
and, still wishing to hear Carpenters' studio rendition (if such still exists),
here is Susan Boyle, Thank You For The Music.....
I agree with this wholeheartedly!I have recently rediscovered the "The Seekers" and Judith Durham. They were not that big in the US, compared to the UK and Australia. Although Judith and Karen have different voices (soprano vs. contralto) and sing different types of music, there is something about both voices which is special. I can't define it, but they sing so effortlessly and with a pure tone (I'm not a musician). Many videos on youtube by rich963 who has enhanced the old videos with stereo. Judith also recorded on A&M after the group broke up.

That must have been marvelous!!Now there’s a singer with a voice like an angel. Judith is my dad’s favourite singer and he introduced me to her music a few years back. We were lucky enough to see them live in England in 2014 as part of their 50th Anniversary farewell tour and the band talked about how they were the only group to still be together in their original line up after 50 years. (Not even the Rolling Stones can claim that title). They walked on, Judith opened her mouth and sounded exactly like she did on the records from their heyday. Her voice, despite a brain haemorrhage a year earlier at the age of 70, had not diminished and was perfectly intact. An unforgettable experience.
