Here's an idea. I think that one of the networks should do a special tribute to Karen. They could have various artists do their rendition of a Carpenter song. Richard could even accompany some or all of them on the piano.
Do you think this is a plausible idea? What would be some of your suggestions for artists and song combinations and why?
I'm thinking about this and will add my ideas in a future post.
Rob

 ???yes, Rob,a very great idea....it'll take some thought...but I think one of the older artist I'd choose Olivia N. John to sing something since her and Karen were friends. I think for her to sing "You're the One", or Sweet Sw. Smile would be good. I do like K. D. Lang, and had not thought of her until Rick mentioned her in one of the threads. I'd like to hear her with Desperado..... I also like Sixpence None the Richer...Leigh Nash the lead vocalist of that group, has a very clear fresh sound. ???And I'll keep thinking....

 Excellent thought Rob. I would tune in to watch that. it would even be nice to see a vintage Carpenters song video - maybe one that hasn't been released yet.
The idea of k.d. lang singing "Desperado" is great Kathy.
How about a range of different types of artists from Alice Cooper, Shania Twain, Sonic Youth, Gloria Estefan, Chrissie Hynde and others. Also a cameo of Kiss member Gene Simmons talking about his one time meeting with Karen. |

Yes, I think a lot of different styles of music or songs and/or artists for a tribute would be awesome indeed. I think Elton John also singing something.

Like that lineup Rick I would love to see those artists perform a tribute to Karen adding Madonna, Wilson Philips and Jan Arden because all have proclaimed to love and be influenced by Karen and deserve to be there on that merit also because they already rerspect Karen you know they would do a good job on the song they choose and do a tribute to Karen justice.   |

You know this is not such a far-fetched idea. I think I'll suggest it of the RandKCarp website. Let's get Richard's feedback on this. If it could make money for one of the networks, I'm sure they'd be interested. Can you imagine what this might do to their record sales!

Fabulous idea. k.d. lang singing something very dark - Superstar, maybe. Elton John - I Just Fall In Love Again Billy Joel - A Song For You Diana Krall - This Masquerade Wynona Judd - maybe add Naomi, too- Top of the World? or perhaps - Sweet Sweet Smile Michael Buble' doing I Can Dream, Can't I? Nora Jones - Sometimes Michael Franks - Sailin' On The Tide Dave Matthews - Prime Time Love There are, of course, many more. These are just a few that come immediately to mind. Cool - I'd certainly watch something like this. Let us know if we can help you "market" such an idea, Rob. Tim

You caught what I was thinking here by this lineup Enigma. Madonna, Wilson Phillips and Jan Arden are all fine additions. Another artist who has sited Karen as an influence is Sandy Patti. We can't forget to add her on to the guest roster. There's also Phoebe Snow and Paul McCartney. What a stellar lineup this could be. |

Here's another great pic of Karen in baseball gear. You can use it on the Ballpark Tours site if you want marc. Thanks! I've just added that pic to BallparkTour! Now I actually have a tie-in between Karen & baseball. I know that the Happy Days cast also had their own softball team... I wonder it they ever played against the Carpenters team? Yes, I'm sure most folks who visit my site are a bit perplexed at what Karen Carpenter has to do with Baseball parks, but since I don't have a Carpenters website (yet!), it's just my small tribute, even if it doesn't make any sense! |
