Choose a singer and if you can, describe a song from the other partner's or Karen's selection of songs that would be perfect for each of them...

Roberta Flack and Karen on Killing Me Softley With His Song would have been great cause its a great song and Karen said she would have loved to have done that song. Barbara Streisand is also a choice of mine the two sing in almost identical octaves so a song like The Way We Were would be a cool duet.   |

I think oliva would have been an interesting choice and of course barbara as well.. I think karen and barbara's voices would have had a goosebump event..

 I went with Olivia because I know they were freinds and I am not sure how the other artists felt about Karen. There are many songs especially from some of Olivias earlier albums that would have been great but the one song that always makes me think of Karen is Suspend Me In Time from Zanadu. Jim

I think the Streisand duet would have been incredible if the right song was chosen, but I chose Olivia Newton-John. I think best friends would have brought some fun to the recording session and it might not have been a typical duet, but something up with a lot of energy.
;D

 I chose Karen and Roberta Flack. I think they would definitely have complimented each other in a duet, something cool, and jazzy like Killing Me Softly or the two of them could have just burned up the mics singing a duet of First Time Ever. I also think there was a mutual admiration there, which would have come across well in song. It would have just been a real treat to hear them together....It would have been, in my humble opinion, nothing short of Tim

My vote goes to Olivia-Newton John, with Linda Ronstadt a close second.
Olivia-Newton John has a higher range that would harmonize well with K's lower registers. Country-tinged songs such as "Top of the World" and "Jambalaya" might make interesting duets.
Linda Ronstadt is phenomenal with deep, pensive songs, so she would be great with K on songs such as "Blue Bayou" and "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me."

???Hello everybody...and a special welcome to you Goodolddreams!.....It really is kind of a tough choice for me on a selection since it just seems every song I think of is just a Karen song...it's hard for me to think of her singing with others...her voice is so unique...
but i chose Helen Reddy..even though Roberta Flack was a close one...
I think Helen and Karen might have done a good job with the song "You"....or "You and Me Against the World"...

I would have loved for Karen to team up with any of my favorites like Vikki Carr or Anne Murray. As for a guy/gal duet, possibly Kenny Rogers. I'm not a big fan of his but he did a great job with Dolly Parton.

Hey Smoothie 2 My mom use to play You and Me Against The World on the piano and sing the words to me. That song has a special place in my heart. Jim

 This is a bit off topic but I just bought Barbara Striesand and Barry Gibb's duet album Guilty Pleasures and its really beautiful. Jim

s ![]() img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/folder/earthspin.gif [/IMG] Hey Jim...I see where that would be a very nice memory. It's a good song with a good message. I think someone wondered at the time when that song came out, who she was talking about...and then at the end something is said about Jeffrey...who I think was Helen's son...but not sure. Anyway, I still have 2 Helen records on vinyl..she always had a unique voice. I've heard Streisand and Gibb have a new one out. Last night on perhaps the A and E channel, was biography of the B Gees...they were and still are such a great group. Of course, Streisand is just out of this world also. : |

Hey Smoothie thanks for the kind words. I think Helen Ready had a similar resonance factor in her voice such as Karen's. Karen and Helen both have that distinct unique quality that is recognized instantly. I have been in busy shopping mall's and if a Carpenter song begins to play over the sound system I am aware of it, even if there is so much noise I am barely aware of the backround music. I was stunned one day when I heard one of Richard's solo songs over the sound system at the Olive Garden. I am going to surf the web and see what happened to Ready. I think she would sound great if she did a new album produced by Richard. Jim
