    A must have for Karen Carpenter fans

    If you are Carpenter fan, this is a must have CD. By the time it was released in 1996 it was a bit dated (definitely a late 70s / early 80s sound), but it is fun listening to Karen in a slightly different setting than the normal Carpenters arrangements. A solid first effort considering what a change it must have been for her to be going it alone. One can only imagine the success she could have continued to have as an artist. Such a sad ending for an incredible talent.

    Karen Carpenter minus Richard = CrAp Sound

    Karen Carpenter's voice is just magical when it is shaped by Richard. This album excluded Richard and it shows...There are glimpses of her beautiful voice but the arrangements are junk and doesn't highlight her quality. I'm glad I have the CD but more for show than to listen to. It's a little painful given my love of the Carpenters but now I understand that while Karen had the voice, Richard had the sound and the quality.

  • Karen Carpenter CD Review

    Karen Carpenter has such a beautiful voice & its nice to hear her sing on her own. She deviates from the classic Carpenters sound most people are familiar with & experiments with different styles of singing. I would definitely recommend this CD for Carpenter fans. On the first song I felt the background music was too loud, I could barely hear her voice. The rest of the songs I feel more properly showcased her voice. The CD case has a few cracks but the CD itself is in perfect condition considering its used so overall I am pleased with this purchase.

  • A different approach for Karen

    Karen tries different styles of music. If you are a Carpenters fan, you may not like it due to Richard not having anything to do with the recording. There are some good songs here, however. A disco type of song is in this collection as well. Not for the average fan, but worth a listen.

  • A really good CD!

    I love this CD. A great freshman effort from Karen. It's a great shame and a huge loss that she didn't live long enough to record many more solo projects. She had a lot of great music left to make that is lost forever to us now. I'm glad she had this chance to fly solo.

  • A time capsule of sound with one of the best voices ever!

    It was amazing to hear her sweet voice on songs from 35 years ago that I have never heard before. A couple songs have a sound of the time, that if released when they were first recorded in early 1980, would certainly have been top 10 hits at the least. The literature included with the CD is very informative, answering some of the things we probably didn't know about Karen & of her life that ended way too soon.

  • Karen Carpenter's solo album

    I love anything Karen Carpenter sings! She has the most amazing, clear, perfect, beautiful voice I have ever heard! I wish so much that she was still with us in physical form. Of course, she will live forever in our hearts and through her music. May she Rest in Peace. Thank you for making this CD available to purchase.

  • Karen's last hurrah or

    The sound was good her voice was singing like velvet I wish it didn't have the music so loud but it is one of her best and the song she picked out you couldn't have asked for anything better she did a beautiful job and it's something if you are a character if you are Karen Carpenter fan it is a must to have in to listen to and you will be listening to it a lot. I recommended highly

  • Memories of a Beautiful Voice

    This compilation of songs will reinforce the fact that Karen had a beautiful voice and range of vocal talent. The collection is certainly different from what I have collected in the past (she and her brother) but is a great addition for those who desire to hear one of the great voices of all time. Karen Carpenter fans are fortunate to be able to add this series of songs to their collection.
