Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.

I must say I’m really surprised at the number of posts on this site.  I’ve always loved Karen Carpenter, a world class voice. I put her in the same category as Barry Manilow who has been reviled as very unhip,  but is also a world class performer and composer.

I just listened to the Royal Philharmonic concert.

WOW!

I had forgotten besides that voice, what a powerful communicator she was.

@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  

Bragging rights are yours, @grislybutter .

@immatthewj let’s share it 

No, @grislybutter , meeting Lucinda and doing an imitation  of a coked up Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now is not in the same league.  This one is yours, my friend--you have earned it.
