I saw them LIVE at BYU in the late 1970's.
Karen was bawling uncontrolably after the show
for some unknown reason! I think Richard had pissed her off.
It was a good show! She had the best voice!
Now, she's on top of the world looking down on creation... |

You know the old joke: if she had eaten Mama Cass' sandwich, they'd both be alive today. |

I love her. Even more than Celine Dion. |

Dearest CFA,

Me too. Even better than I like Celine. I still love it when one of their songs plays on the radio. |

She had a voice that was pure. It didn't need tweaking or played with....unlike a lot of the so-called "vocal talent" nowadays.

I think I meant to say that there is a lot of the "new" talent coming out that couldn't hold a candle to Carpenter.
All the ones that Soda named are from the non 20-30 age group, and yes I agree, all have real, sock it to you, pure talent...
Add to that list Annie Lenox
