It sucks they only made one album.
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful female voices ever, and she was a very talented songwriter, and she was also an excellent drummer and even earned praise from Buddy Rich. She won drummer of the year for some magazine (I can't remember which one) but apparently her winning really pissed off John Bonham. Ironically enough, Karen's brother, the other half of the Carpenters, Richard, was a huge Zeppelin fan, which is crazy considering how different the Carpenters were from Led Zeppelin.
Unfortunately, she had big time body image issues, and she died from anorexia at only 32 years old.
You living fossils out there will likely remember this song from am radio, but the greedy capitalists would always cut off the really nice piano at the end in order to fit more commercials.
My favorite song transition is the Dead, Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower. Melts me every time.
It’s “Get Back” and John Lennon said it. The song was recorded live on a rooftop.
Its just such a seamless, beautiful transition.I am pleasantly surprised at the quality submissions in this thread.
This is another great one.
