The woman with the golden voice would have turned 70 years old today. The one and only Karen Carpenter is not forgotten! Books and articles continue to be written, their music is still revered around the world, and fans clamor for just one more tidbit of music from this beloved singer.
With brother and musical mastermind Richard, as the duo Carpenters, they would produce a string of lasting hits. From Close to You to Yesterday Once More, from Only Yesterday to the majestically beautiful Goodbye to Love, Karen is remembered as the decade's most incredible songbird- Autotune not required!

2025 Note: This is part of a continuing series on the music and lives of Karen and Richard Carpenter. There are so many stand alone posts highlighting different aspects of their career, recordings, rare photographs, and life that I've lost count.
Below is the list of my "Revisited /Fresh Look" reviews, the more extensive articles than my initial ones a decade earlier. Each have different photos and clippings and focus on various aspects of the individual disc's creation, promotion, and public reaction.
