Hey All,
Just thinking of Karen's voice. What a lovely thing! I have always been fascinated by the female voice. There are so many great female singers out there. Some of my favorites are Amy Grant(El Shaddai, Sing Your Praise To the Lord, Jehovah, Breath of Heaven), Sandi Patty(In The Name of the Lord, Ave Maria, The Star Spangled Banner, In Heaven's Eyes), Rita Coolidge(Love Came For Me[love theme from Splash],Superstar), Anne Murray(You Needed Me, Could I Have This Dance?, Snowbird, Now and Forever), Mariah Carey(Hero, Emotions, They Can't Take That Away From Me, O Holy Night), Whitney Houston(Greatest Love of All, I'm Your Baby Tonight, All the Man That I Need, Miracle), Olivia Newton John(Richard's Window, Physical, Xanadu, Sam), Diana Ross(Remember Me, Do You Know Where You're Going To?, It's My Turn), Charlotte Church(Ave Maria, The Prayer), Barbra Streisand(Evergreen, The Way We Were, Papa Can You Hear Me?, A Piece of Sky, Tell Him), Celine Dion(Tell Him, All By Myself, If you Asked Me To, The Color of My Love, Fly), Dionne Warwick(I Say A Little Prayer, That's What Friends Are For, In Love Alone), Abba women...Anni Frida and Agnetha(Gimme Gimme Gimme, The Name of the Game, SOS, The Winner Takes It All[reminds me of Karen's solitaire]...Akiko Kobayashi(The Reply, Only The Angels Know, Say It With Flowers, Misunderstandings)...
These are some of the greatest vocalists that I adore.
But I know Karen was undoubtedly the best of these women. Karen's voice conveyed warmth, and feeling, as well as being resigned to living with sadness and uncertainty. She was a powerhouse singer, with a wide multi octaved range, and could soar between octaves in a single breath. Although she sang in her lower range, and we all came to love that, she could soar above. On her unreleased solo song DON'T TRY TO WIN ME BACK AGAIn, she sings in a high, almost unrecognizable tone but it leaves you breathless when you realize it's Karen. Especially the lush multitracked vocals by Karen singing in all different ways. Much like IF I HAD YOU.
Karen just was a fascinating woman and powerful singer with such emotion. When she sang, she sang, and you knew you were in for a treat. You paid attention to her delivery. Her LIVE performance of MR.GUDER is remarkeable when you realize she is singing flawlessly and drumming wonderfully. How many other musicans could do that. Drumming is so much hard work, as well as the singing Karen did. She sang, but she did more than just sing. She added her artistry and emotions as well.
My thoughts,
Cameron
