Hi All, As I am a member of the Sandi Patty online forum...I get messages from Sandi that us fans get, of her thoughts and feelings, while on tour. She is an awesome voiced singer who we all know was greatly influenced by 2 secular singers, Barbra Streisand and Karen Carpenter. Well it has been no secret that Sandi has battled with her weight for most of her adult life, and so she was sharing some of her thoughts...and I wrote her and told her that she should never forget that when Karen died, due to weight issues, she left behind millions of fans who were devestated by Karen's untimely death. That it was too sad that Karen never realized how much she was loved and what a beautifully voiced person she was...and that Sandi should realize how much her fans love her, despite her weight...etc. Well she wrote back and said, Dear Cameron. You are sweet. Thanks for your words! Blessings, SANDI So it's just something I thought I would share...about another celebrity that has sold some 12 million recordings(and in the Gospel field that is A LOT of records sold)...

hi Cam..Some really good thoughts. Everyone needs encouragement and you're so right in letting her know those thoughts. That was very sweet of her also to send you a note. Sandy surely has a great voice and a great influence to many because of it.

Oh Sandi is soooo awesome! Many times I will see or hear her singing a song, and think...that would have been perfect for Karen had she lived...or...hmmm...Sandi sounds very similar to Karen in that song or phrase...
I am on Sandi's website...www.sandipatty.com and so I think people might be getting sick of me (tee hee hee) because I always am making mention of Karen Carpenter...with tie ins to Sandi, of course...
Sandi is awesome. What more can I say. I just love her JESUS LOVES ME rendition of her imitating Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand singing the song JESUS LOVES ME, the way she THINKS they might have sung it...It brought the house down. Everyone just killed themselves laughing. Of course, it was no disrespect to our Karen. Sandi was a huge fan of Karen. But everyone was laughing at how much she was able to get Karen's unique phrasing and intonation into the portion of that song...She even went on to say in the LIVE video..."I was so saddened to hear that earlier this year one of my favorite singers died...Karen Carpenter.." or something like that...
My thoughts, Cameron
