How cool! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif I just recently re-watched the Carpenters biography on PBS late last month! It featured a clip of that legendary performance with Ella Fitzgerald. I'd forgotten about it.

I hope for the CD cover they choose a picture from within the first 4 years of their career. The last CD put out for them featured a gangly Karen in a goofy looking hat! I prefer the way she first looked.

I'll be looking for it,Thanks Michigan! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Karen Carpenter? May I submit a "GONG"
here?!?!?!

May I stop ducking yet?!?!?!?

Doug,

Whatever you may feel about their squeaky clean, big teeth, not a hair out of place image, the reason the Carpenters sold millions of records is because of that astonishing voice (and points for Richard's arrangements, too.)

Annie...you are so correct. I was never an especially big fan of the Carpenters or their music. In fact, I've never owned one of their albums or CDs. However, I would say that, among female singers of the past 40 years, Karen Carpenter rates right up there. She had a truly amazing vocal quality and I think her death was a great loss. I'm certain her best work was still to come.

To Doug..............no,you may not. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif

It's not nice to talk mean about people who not of this earth anymore. Shame on you. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/frown.gif

BS
My "gong" comment was in no way directed at
Karen Carpenter, the person. I enjoy
MUSIC from certain artists both living and
gone, and dislike music from certain artists
both living and gone. Happy Easter.

In a strange way,that makes sense. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif
