so TRUE! lately i've been listening to karen's xmas album, and not even the notoriously kitsch hand of brother-cum-pimp richard carpenter can spoil the uncanny, somber beauty of karen's voice. to think that she led such a sad life, stifled by her mediocre family and pushed to aim only at top 40-dom! what a waste of a life and of a career! she should've done the standards (the few she did SO amply evince her brilliance as an interpreter). she should have done the songbooks. she was literally given shit and she turned it into solid gold. even her solo album -- the most dreadful thing you could ever imagine -- has moments of glory. karen's case depresses me enormously. wallyK, np: the Christmas song, karen carpenter.

Now I think her voice can't compare with "Karen Carenter".Karen's singing voice was just gorgeous...
