Having another 'Carpenters' sesh!

Watching Karen Carpenter Story. Love Karen's voice so much

Her records were some of the first I ever purchased with my allowance.

Watching her music life story. I'm so glad she and her brother made it in the music industry.

Does anyone remember this beautiful voice? Top of the world!

This is for Lesley: There's no place like home for the holidays....
