 hi everybody...As most of you may know, Johnny Carson, an icon in the world of entertainment passed away this past wk. end. He will surely be missed.
I wonder, first of all, did Karen and Richard perform on his show? I would think that they surely must have at some point in time.
But the real start of this train of thought is ...What do you think would be
a good song for the C's (if Karen was still alive today....or even if not) to be sung to honor Johnny?
I saw the clip of Bette Midler singing on his last show to him the song One for the Road....(or One for My baby..?)
I wish she would have sung Wind Beneath My Wings...
anyway, perhaps if the C's were still around now they could sing W. Beneath My Wings,
or one of their own "You"...
so what do some of you think?
and stayed tuned, there's more to come....
 ;D

 The Carpenters performed and were interviewed on *The Tonigh Show* in 1978, but, the host of this show was John Davidson(and he did a good job).
The Carpenters performed a medley of *Superstar/Rainy Days And Mondays/Goodbye To Love* and the ABBA song *Thank You For The Music*.
During the interview, Karen sung a part of *Sing* in Japanese.
On the subjet..., I don't have a particular song for Johnny Carson..., I'll think of it. :-) [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300]  [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

I think a nice tribute song for the legendary Johnny Carson would be A Song For You its a great song and the title says it all a fitting tribute were it possible just one scenerio I think Johnny would like. Tip of the hat to Johnny you were the best late night host of my generation you will never be forgotten and yes he was/you are a true legend and icon.

$@ thanks Roland for the info. Wonder where those tapes are...in Johnny's collections or Richard's...probably Richard...I would love to see those...I recall when they were on Merv griffin once and Karen was very very thin, but I don't recall them singing on that one.
Then in their earlier days, an interview w/ someone and Richard was showing whoever the guy was
the C's new at that time big studio thing at their house I think
Then, I recall them on Ed Sullivan ...
and then I think on "This is Yor Life."
???anyway, Enigma, a Song For You would truly be a fantastic and touching tribute for Johnny.

It's a late 1971 interview by Jerry Dunphy...
..., it's called *Jerry Visits The Carpenters*. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow] |

$@ well, reading over that last post....I sure kept THINKING now didn't I ?! ha...
anyway..I know the funniest shows to me w/ Johnny were with animals...
His show was always on at our house every night.
He surely had an eye for talented people, and that's why I was certain
that the C's were surely on there at some time.

Yes, Kathy..., this interview is pretty nice. :-)
It's a late 1971 interview by Jerry Dunphy...
..., it's called *Jerry Visits The Carpenters*. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow] I remember watching the Jerry Dunphy special in 1971 (or it could have been a rerun in 1972). I really enjoyed it. It was a great interview and Karen was really cute. I just loved her vivacious expressions. This is on my list of future purchases from Ebay. Johnny Carson was truly one of the greats. He will definitely be missed. I like him best of all the late night show hosts. No one can ever replace him. I think a nice tribute song for the legendary Johnny Carson would be A Song For You its a great song and the title says it all a fitting tribute were it possible just one scenerio I think Johnny would like. Tip of the hat to Johnny you were the best late night host of my generation you will never be forgotten and yes he was/you are a true legend and icon.   Kudos to you Enigma, "A Song For You" truly a most magnificent song. This would have made a beautiful tribute to Johnny from Karen.  |

I couldn't agree more, Enigma. A Song For You would have said it all, and in such a beautiful, sweet way.

I agree about Johnny Carson being the best of all the late night hosts. He was around for 30 years entertaining us and making us laugh. I will miss him very much, although his absence from the tube for the past 13 years were the begininning of my missing him.
I"m surprised the Carpenters were only on his show once in 1978 with John Davidson as host. They were so popular in the early 70's, you'd have thought they would have been on the show sooner. Is that really the only time?

I, too, loved Johnny and will miss him. A Song for You is a great choice for a tribute.
