She was known for her impressive low contralto voice, and she did not have a 3 octave voice….she herself said she had a 4 octave voice!! This was written in the Ray Coleman biography of the Carpenters!

Yes, SADLY. To the Hall of Fame personal, the Carpenters place in the Hall of Fame is a no-brainer.

RC is absolutely wrong in saying their music was underrated, that Karen voice wasn’t appreciated (Paul McCartney says it’s the best female voice) or that some say they were not successful. All artists have detractors the same way all artists will have loyal die-hard fans. No one can ever please everyone and that’s ok. What most fans cannot comprehend, however, is why was Karen not helped sooner when it was so obvious from her physical stature change that something was not right about her?

Karen had the best voice of all time! Richard was an excellent arranger and producer. Loved them both!
