    Karen Carpenter CD: 1996

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 17, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Karen Carpenter review helpful

    Although I find it deeply depressing that she never had the chance to explore this side of her jazz/pop milieu, it is a refreshing side that could have launched her career in a new direction, making her more akin to Sergio Mendez or Kenny G than to t...he top 40 cuts infecting the American pop landscape. In all, I cannot find fault with any of the cuts in CD. The classy arrangements by a wide variety of people---and a duet with Peter Cetera to boot-- makes this a worthwhile excursion for any Carpenters fan. I find it almost tragic that she did not get to work with producer Phil Ramone a couple more times on different projects, but be thankful that we saw a side of her vocal talents that separated her from the TOP 40 crap we are inflicted with now.

    Pros: Different and Beautiful

    Cons: Not released when disco was in

    I love the songs on this album!!! I know that the Peter Cetera song (Making Love in The Afternoon) would have been a hit if had been released in 1982. What harm would it have been to release this album? It destroyed Karen's fragile psyche. I don...'t think she ever realized her potential or her influence to those my age (baby boomers). After destroying disco albums in 1980, people have given disco a second chance, and disco is now entrenched in our society. Why can't people give Karen Carpenter a second chance? She sang a lot of songs that people have never listened to. Read more Less

    Karen Carpenter Album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 22, 2000

    In my opinion this CD has a lot of great songs on it and is definitely in the same league as Carpenter albums. It hasn't gotten a lot of positive reviews from what I've heard but this shouldn't be surprising as the Carpenters have never really gotte...n great reviews and they had number one songs throughout most of their career. The only possible negative thing I can think of about the album is perhaps the lyric content is not what you would probably expect from a Karen Carpenter album. The sound quality of the CD could have been a bit better as well. This album along with the Carpenters "Voice of the Heart" can make one feel sad in that it reminds you of all the great music there would have been from Karen and Richard Carpenter had she not died. Along with perhaps John Lennon she is the only singer/musician who you knew had they lived would have made a lot more great music. Read more Less

    Great Album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 23, 1999

    If this album was released when Karen fist made it. It would have been a very big hit. Just think of what could have been with Karen on her own as asolo artist. Most of the song are now dated but still gets my feet going
