Yeah, you're right Steve...
Paul McCartney is my first choice, but, Barry Manilow is definitely a great match up. A duet like this would have made a lot of people cry..., that's for sure. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

How about Karen and Linda Ronstadt? Their voices would probably have mixed quite well. They could have done "Desperado" as a duet.

I was just thinking of Karen and Josh Groban. He's got such a strong voice. I bet they could have done a great collaboration together. It would be like the iconic singer and the hot new talent. Boy would Karen have taught him some new singing tricks. And, she would have been an admirer of his youthful talent (as she had a similar age).

I love the idea of Karen and Josh Groban! Great match! Christian singer, Sandi Patty, would be another good choice. Sandi grew up a Carpenters fan and would probably jump at the chance. Country singer, Martina McBride has an awesome voice and might be another choice.

Karen would have sang wonderfully with B.J. Thomas. He has a most spectacualr voice. Remember his great hits like "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head", "Hooked On A Feeling", "I Just Can't Help Believing" and his remake of the Beach Boys song "Don't Worry Baby". Since the mid 1980's to the current day B.J. has been recording Contemporary Christian music, makes one wonder if Karen lived if she may possibly be doing the same. Another one I think Karen could have done very well with is the Walter Murphy Band. In 1976 as some of you may remember Walter and his band recorded the excellent #1 disco hit "A Fifth Of Beethoven", which ended up on the "Saturday Night Fever" movie soundtrack. Anyway Walter's album "A Fifth Of Beethoven" was excellent all the way through. Several instrumentals and some songs with vocals. And when I hear his instrumentals I can just imagine Karen's voice with some of these songs.

Steve I never thought of that combination Karen and Kenny. They would sound excellent together. Especially on "Danny's Song" (even though we ain't got money). How about Karen and Kenny on a R&B jazzish rendition of "This Is It" - that would be ultra-hot! It would be something that would fit perfect with Karen's solo album.

I think Karen would also do well dueting with Micheal McDonald I am no a huge fan of his but he did a good job dueting on ON My Own with Aritha Franklin I think he would do well with Karen he does have a pretty good voice and with the right song...out of the park!

Yes, Michael McDonald has a really good voice. How about Karen with Dan Fogelberg or possibly Jackson Browne. Here's a few other duet possibilities to ponder: Don Henley (He duetted with several others, Karen would have been a natural) Tom Petty (this sounds like an odd combo, but could possibly work) John Denver (they did a duet on TV Special, but would have loved to hear them do something fun and upbeat together.)

I think I will throw George Micheal in the hat if he has not already been mentioned I am not a big fan of his but I do think he has a beautiful voice and would match up great with Karen.
Rick you just suggested another duet which I would consider a dream teaming Karen Carpenter and Don Henley what a team! Just imagine Karen and Don on Sometimes Love Just ain't Enough wow that would be too sweeeeeet!

I also think that Olivia Newton John, would have been really cooool to hear singing with Karen as a duet

Yeah..., the two good friends together.
Talking of friends..., Karen would have certainly fit in That's What Friends Are For , you know..., Bacharach song with Dionne Warwick(two good friends) and two other musical giants..., Elton John and Stevie Wonder.[glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland C.[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

I'm resurrecting this topic with a new choice. I think Karen would have sounded great singing with Luther Vandross. Can you imagine the two of them wailing away on Superstar together. My heart's racing and I haven't had any coffee!!!
