Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.


Today is February 4th, 2025. So today marks 42 years since Karen Carpenter passed away. This is a sad time, but a very good time to listen to her most beautiful voice and look at some of your favorite pictures of Karen. Personally, I look at Karen's eyes, they melt my heart!

seriously, and respectfully. when it’s a post for her, about her, would it be hard to spell her name correctly? Nine characters...

 

And yes, the most amazing voice, ever. Not my #1 but in the top 10, rated for emotional connection.

@unclewilbur thanks for your response, and sorry if I came across harsh. We all make mistakes, no worries. I am an ESL person, with a terrible accent so at least I try to spell wink 

@77jovian 

And her voice....pretty limited range, pretty limited dynamics and color

Limited? One of the best voices in history. Ask Rick Beato or the Charismatic Voice.

@unclewilbur I envy you tremendously. I am still waiting for my coffee with Paul McCartney. 

A college classmate of mine had a coffee with Yoko Ono. As in - she bought a property, wanted to change the garden, looked for a landscape architect, happened to find him, he came over, surveyed the land, and she said: would you like to come in for a coffee? And he doesn't even care for the Beatles. Freaking unbelievable!

 

@unclewilbur that's what I thought too. Although I have a degree, I am dumb as a rock when it comes to plants.

@immatthewj oh you had to show off. At least I made bad first impressions on zero celebrities 

ok, I dug one up (in the biggest loser category):

I got arrested at the Queen's Budapest concert when I climbed a 20 foot wall to get inside the stadium. Not only I didn't see the Queen (how cool that would have been) but I was embarrassed to ashes in front of my date. A german sheppard dragged me down and placed me in front of the cops like a frail bird in a split second. It was impressive. 

@immatthewj @wyoboy Fine! I guess I take it back, seeing the Queen doesn't make it as fun a story to tell than getting busted for it  devil
