I love this picture (your current backdrop) of young Karen playing her drums and singing her heart out. What a kid!!
They were destined to make it big.

 Hi wisejester... Welcome to the forum! Great to have you join us!
Yes, I love this picture also. Karen was a natural beauty. You just couldn't miss her - playing those drums and singing beautifully at the same time.
The pic is from "Your All American College Show" in 1969. |

 In this clip from a 1969 episode of "Your All American College Show" the Richard Carpenter Trio (as they were officially named at this point in time) were performing "Dancing In The Street" with Karen playing drums and singing at the same time. The RCT won the competition and took home the grand prize of $1,000. |

What a great shot this is of Karen. I have this video clip of them doing the All American College Show. It's a wonderful moment listening to them do Dancin' In The Street. and....Karen CERTAINLY was young. However, even in this sort of debut television moment, she didn't appear nervous or anything, and her singing was RIGHT ON. I'd have been a total mess attempting something like this...and my voice would have certainly showed it. But not Karen. She was superb. It IS a super picture, Rick. The forum ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT, though. And, I'm with Katt..........gotta love that colorful blinking banner at the top! Tim  |

  I recall when R. and K. were on the Ed Sullivan show way back around that time, Karen behind drums, singing Dancing in the Street. It's not one of my fave songs of theirs, but I know they were excited about the performance. ....... One other word I wanted to add about the background pic, is that I think it's a little unusual to see Karen w/ her hair (or fall) behind her ears...of course no doubt still a beauty.... she must have just been really burning up with that long-sleeved coat on and doing those drums under such lights.

...... she must have just been really burning up with that long-sleeved coat on and doing those drums under such lights. Very interesting thought Kathy. I really like her coat (blouse?). It gives her a British sort of look - maybe even Beatlesque. Hmmm... Karen the fifth Beatle? |

I like the new pix on the main page, I wonder what song Karen is singing? Rainy Days?,
Close to You? or We've Only Just Begun?
