Every once in a while, I come across something online that brings memories flooding back. I’m talking about the ones you can feel, taste and smell, as well as see and hear. The memories that immediately transport you (well, me) back to – in this case, the ’70s, when I listened to The Carpenters Singles album over and over again on the neighbor’s 8-track.
Came across this sample of Karen Carpenter’s voice track from Superstar with only a rudimentary rhythm track. Hearing her sing this sad ballad before all the fancy mix and overlays are put in really brings home what a lovely voice she had (with arguably a better low range than her brother). Enjoy!
