Karen featured on Canadian MUCH MORE MUSIC

[cam83]

Hi All,
It is a Rainy Sunday here in Saskatchewan, Canada. I was flipping thru the channels and found a program on the Top 20 Most Tragic Deaths in Music. So I thought I would watch it, hoping that maybe they might show Karen Carpenter. And I was feeling despair that they probably thought she wasn't that important to mention. But she came on at Number Seven. They showed clips of the YESTERDAY ONCE MORE video. Made mention of her illness anorexia and her body image problems. Then they ended with her singing LITTLE GIRL BLUE from the INTERPRETATIONS video. Classy song. Oh I was soo happy because what a classy song to showcase her fine vocals. And now, new fans will discover this talented drummer, finest vocalist ever.

My thoughts,
Cameron

Hi Cam, thank you for this interesting tidbit. #7 is a a pretty good position to be ranked.

;Dsounds like the day got a little brighter for you...good...I seldom seem to hear or see much coverage about the C's...so I'm glad that there are still videos to be found and other shows here and there about them.

I am a channel changer, too. Anytime I find a show and think, just maybe, the Carpenters (or another favorite artist) will be mentioned, I watch it. I am always pleased when they are remembered and shown on TV today.

???Someone in an earlier post mentioned seeing the Entertainment Tonight program where it was telling about Karen and her parents graves being moved closer to Richard.
I happened to watch the Entertainment Tonight Headlines and Scandals program last night. I usually don't watch Ent. Ton., but it was interesting and it told also about the 35th Anniv. album's debut. It showed an interview not long after Karen died with the Entert. Ton. people interviewing Richard about her death. He was still a little in shock and certainly still teary eyed about her death. Disbelief at that time just as so many world over were and maybe still are.
I'm glad that all the family have their own special place ...
The pic shown in the segment for Ent. Tonight showed the stone (marble) structure . It's a fine place, but it looked especially cold and forlorn in the tv program because it was either raining or snowing or both at the time.
At least Richard has his own wife and family and still all the brilliance and intelligence as far as music goes and all the things he ever will need to do what he wants.
In any case, I was glad to see that even though a rather bittersweet event, that once again the Carps. ...what they were then and how the music is still popular...was renewed in our minds.
She was only 32 but what she accomplished lives on!
