So tragic a loss to loose one so incredibly gifted, so short in her life. I have never heard a voice so absolutely perfect as Karen's paired with Richard's own magic. As I do, many, many of us miss that special sibing mix that made music for the millenia. I still cry at the loss. I was recently reminded of this dynamic duo through documentaries aired on REELZ. And I cried again. Paraphrasing, "In heaven, there may be no beer," but I'm hoping Karen and her voice will be there, singing with the angels doing arrangements from Richard.M.Sturgellhttp://earthlink.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769446111726567693.post-83127307386806053422019-01-15T12:02:44.798-05:002019-01-15T12:02:44.798-05:00I have written to RICHARD CARPENTER A FEW TIMES OV...I have written to RICHARD CARPENTER A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND HE WAS VERY GRACIOUS HE EVEN AUTOGRAPHED MY SONG FOR YOU CD FOR MY BIRTHDAY NICE MAN GOOD FAMILY I AGREE KDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197376709374439006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769446111726567693.post-29404306073777315642018-11-08T19:10:26.256-05:002018-11-08T19:10:26.256-05:00I loved the Carpenters since high school and still...I loved the Carpenters since high school and still do 48 years later!
