I am madly in love with Karen Carpenter !

It's a shame that more people aren't aware of this most gifted and talented of popular singers. If you've never had the pleasure of listening to Karen Carpenter, it's easy enough to correct this musical deficiency .... simply punch her name into the nearest You Tube search engine, and then you can just sit back and enjoy her silky smooth voice.

The two lowest, most powerful female voices ever heard in American music both came from New Haven, Connecticut: Karen Carpenter and Liz Phair. Must be something in the water there. Unlike Liz, Karen C. could hit the high notes too.

 

Few people have the capacity to truly send a shiver down the spine with musical melody. Hear the voice - Know the singer !
(Personally -> along with Eva Cassidy and Mama Cass Elliot, if there is a 'heaven' of sorts then there are 3 Angels who serenade with sweetness unbounded)
Karen had a special sound that is timeless - such a tragedy.
My 'favourite', if that bis the word? is "Goodbye to Love" though Masquerade, I won't last a day without you and I know I need to be in love to name a few also have that quality of special aura about them - even Calling occupants ... A message for us all
