Karen Carpenter was beautiful, seriously talented and possessed a marvelous voice. Many people don’t realize that Karen was a close personal friend of Olivia Newton-John. This is a beautiful tribute to Olivia’s friend, singing Karen’s hit Close To You. She starts singing this as an imitation, then adds a little of Olivia’s own style towards the end.

Quite enjoyed this. I helped to make my morning better.
That is a good thing. I was surprised by how much like Karen that Olivia sounds in the first part of the song.
That is wonderful. It is so sad that Karen could not be helped and had to die so young and tragically.
Yes, it is. My wife and I were married to a Karen Carpenter song. We loved her.
