Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983) was an American singer and drummer. She and her brother, Richard Carpenter, formed the 1970s duo Carpenters. Although her skills as a drummer earned admiration from drumming luminaries and peers, she is best known for her vocal performances. She had a contralto vocal range.
Carpenter suffered from anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder that was little known at the time. She died at age 32 from heart failure caused by complications related to her illness. Carpenter's death led to increased visibility and awareness of eating disorders.
Karen Anne Carpenter was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the daughter of Agnes Reuwer (née Tatum) (March 5, 1915 – November 10, 1996) and Harold Bertram Carpenter (November 8, 1908 – October 15, 1988). When she was young, she enjoyed playing baseball with other children on the street. On the TV program This Is Your Life, she stated that she liked pitching and later, in the early 1970s, she would become the pitcher on the Carpenters' official softball team. Her brother Richard developed an interest in music at an early age, becoming a piano prodigy. The family moved in June 1963 to the Los Angeles suburb of Downey.

Karen and Richard Carpenter in June 1978. They perform the song "Thank You For the Music" and talk with John Davidson and Elke Sommer. Karen sings a portion of the song "Sing" in Japanese.
In June 1981, the Carpenters released "Made In America" which would turn out to be the last album released during Karen's lifetime. In August of that year, they made an appearance on "Good Morning, America" to publicize the release of the album. (Note: this television appearance took place 8 months before Karen recorded her last song, "Now.") Karen had been married just a little over a year and already her marriage was beginning to show signs of strain. It is evident in this video how ill Karen was at that time in her life. There had been no album released since "Passage" (1977) and the Carpenters were attempting a comeback. A single from the new album "Touch Me When We're Dancing," was a success, reaching #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and #1 on the Adult Contemporary Cha...

The Carpenters Gold: 35 Greatest Hits | Best Songs Of The Carpenters
I remember the first time
I laid more than eyes on you
We've been in love for a long time
And I'm still in love with you
Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you
I'm in perpetual motion
I am always on the move
You must have slipped me a potion babe
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you
You don't leave me any reason
I don't need no alibies
So don't ask me no questions
Babe, I won't hand you any lies
Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you
And you know that tomorrow
Will be different than today
We beg, steal and borrow
But we always stay the same
Well, I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you
(I'm still in love)
I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
Without you
(I'm still in love)
I am so still in love with you
Will you always understand
I do not know what I would do
