 Another wonderful pic. Which Carpenters/Karen song does this one bring to mind. |

Actually with that dress, I immediately thought of Judy Garland as Dorothy, singing, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
Hmm, maybe something soft and sweet like, The Rainbow Connection".
Hmmm, 2 rainbows in 1 post!

The very first thought was "Johnny Angel". Don't know why, but the thought was just there so I'm going with it.

The song Don't Be Afraid comes to mind because I believe Karen is 19 years old in this picture the same age when Offering came out and also Don't Be Afraid is a happy, simple and innocent song which is how I see Karen at this age and in this picture.   |

I think of 'A Song for You'.

Some interesting song choices here. I have to go with "Johnny Angel". I didn't think of JA initially. I was going to say "Crystal Lullaby" - but after reading Mary Ann's choice I just knew "Johnny Angel" was it. |

Just a little info on this picture. It was taken in 1972 during the "a Song For You" period. I have heard many people say they think this is one of the best photos ever of Karen. She really does look wonderfully beautiful in this one. |

 Ticket To Ride. I think it's because of the fall Karen is wearing. What a great look for her.

OK no more guessing for me as to when a particular picture was taken I am horrible at it ( ain't got one right so far) but that is not the point of this post. The point of this post is my agreement that this is one of the best pictures of Karen I have seen she is soooo beautiful as usual and that million dollar smile OK I will stop there before I embarrass myself this picture is a favorite of mine I do like it alot. BTW Rick I also like the background picture you have wasn't impressed at first but now I find my eyes are drawn to it every time I visit the forum nice capture Rick! |

Yes Karen really looks beautiful here. she has an innocent yet wise look on her face. She almost looks like a country girl.
About the picture which is currently used as the forum's background (which I've posted just below this comment). It is a capture from the 1976 video for "I Need To Be In Love". Same as you Enigma I really didn't like this shot at first - and I almost didn't put it up on the forum. but I decided to anyway - just because it's a different shot of Karen. Nonetheless I have also grown to like it. It's definitely not a glamour shot of Karen (unlike the 1972 photo which is the topic of this thread) but it is an interesting shot of her. |

Since I was into Carpenters from 1970 and know the timeframe for most of their pics, this one reminds me of Rainy Days and Mondays. I think it was taken in late 1971 or early 1972 during the first phase of grooming Karen for the big time. I think one of these pics was on the single (45) for Rainy Days and Mondays. For me, I'm just stuck in this chronological time warp.
