I'm sure this is too easy but is it the heart on the cover of "A Song For You?"

Today being Valentine's Day: I see a heart. Happy Valentine's Day! I'm still thinking about the heart you see. Do you see a physical heart or is this heart more metaphorical? For a first guess I will say the "Voice Of The Heart" album. |

I'll take a 2nd guess, too, and say "Karen", because she was the 'heart' of the Carpenters.

Some good guesses so far, but none are correct. Wisejester7, this heart is more symbolic.
Here is one more clue:
1. I see a heart.
2. I see rain.

On one of the Carpenters TV specials Karen traces a heart with her finger on the "window".
I think this is from the Carpenters' Space Encounters special where Karen sings "Little Girl Blue". No, that's not it. In "Little Girl Blue" she picks up flowers.
Shoot, I can picture her in a trench coat and tracing that heart, but I can't remember which song she was singing. (Perhaps it was "I Need To Be In Love".)

Wisejester7, ooh so close and yet so far! You were on the right track...
Here is one more clue:
1. I see a heart.
2. I see rain.
3. I see a silhouette.

I just can't quite place which TV special and song. I can see Karen in my mind ... the trench coat, the traced heart ... she writes KC and there are no other initials to put into the heart ... she wipes the heart away, the silhouette ... all of it. AARRRGGG!!!! |

She was singing "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "Superstar", but that was on their Very First Television Special on ABC. Aw, my brain has apparently turned into mush tonight.

Congratulations, wj7, you finally nailed it! I think this video clip has one of the most iconic and visually stunning imagery of Karen in concept and execution on any taped or live show. For those who haven't seen it yet or it has been a while, here it is for you to enjoy with the original cleaner audio without the applause track: youtube.com/watch?v=cEtuhGX7VHII look forward to game #27! |

This is one fantastic video, my favorite. The glass with water and foggy can symbolize the cover behind which other thoughts and beliefs worked. The producer of the show had a good feel for the Carpenters and Karen Carpeter. |

Thank you for the link, Dreams.
I could not find it last night to confirm or deny my guesses.
It's weird how sometimes the brain works ... or doesn't. I'm glad to have finally hit on the right TV special and songs. I should have known that Rob (NedNickerson57) would have tooled around with the clip. He has such a nice creative way with all the videos he works on. Luckily for us, the Carpenters are one of his favorites.
I love Karen's silhouette shots. This, to me, is such a unique perspective of Karen ... one I'm sure Richard must have permanently etched in his brain from all their rehearsals and concerts.
I'll start the next round later today.

I think Karen looked just outstanding in that video too! She was at her very best then I think. Love it! Thanks for that link.
Look forward to #27 game.
