1983: Karen Carpenter died at age 32

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s hard to believe but Karen Carpenter died in 1983

As I recall hearing the news flash, it was one of those “shock moments” when I heard that she died.   

Later we learned that her death was related to anorexia.  

What a tragic story!

Over the years, we’ve continued to enjoy The Carpenters and their amazing sound.  Karen had one of the most incredible voices ever in pop music history.

Rolling Stone ranked Karen #94 in their list of the 100 greatest singers.  They described it this way:  
Impossibly lush and almost shockingly intimate, Carpenter’s performances were a new kind of torch singing, built on understatement and tiny details of inflection that made even the sappiest songs sound like she was staring directly into your eyes.

I would rate her a lot higher than # 94.  Frankly, she is up there with the very best.  Who else had a better voice?  Who else could sing a song like Karen Carpenter?
