(Fans of Richard and Karen Carpenter knew the woman could sing a song in Japanese- check this out- but few of us knew she could also sing in Spanish. When the 1973 album Now & Then was released, it was another worldwide smash. How could it not be with Richard Carpenter's beautiful Yesterday Once More, Leon Russell's stunning new classic This Masquerade, and a whole slew of oldies. The Carpenters were hot!)
Para el mundo de habla hispana, el dúo grabó una versión de su éxito Sing. ¡Y es tan pegadizo en español como en inglés!
Puedes escucharlo aquí.
(For the Spanish speaking world, the duo recorded a version of their hit Sing. And it's just as catchy in Spanish as it is in English!
You can hear it here.)

Sí, hoy se cumplen 41 años del fallecimiento de Karen.
Richard emitió la siguiente declaración:
"Es difícil creer que han pasado 41 años desde que Karen nos dejó. Por diversas razones, no en cada uno de esos años vimos un nuevo álbum, hecho que lamento cada día más, ya que el mundo se vio privado de escucharla cantar innumerables Más canciones, cantadas con una voz que no podía ni puede igualarse.
Siento su pérdida de muchas maneras diferentes, y no sólo en su canto. Estaba dotada de una contagiosa personalidad optimista que era un plus al pasar tantas horas en el estudio.
Cada año la extraño más que el anterior y espero que donde quiera que viva sea consciente de ello. - Ricardo"
(Yes, today marks 41 years since Karen's passing.
Richard issued the following statement:
"It’s hard to believe that 41 years have passed since Karen left us. Due to various reasons, not every one of those years saw a new album, a fact I regret more each passing day, as the world was deprived of hearing her sing countless more songs, sung in a voice that could not and can not be matched.
I feel her loss in many different ways, and not just her singing. She was endowed with a contagious upbeat personality which was a plus when spending so many hours in the studio.
Every year, I miss her more than the preceding one, and hope that where ever she resides, she is aware of this. - Richard")
