Lunch Break Videos: Enjoying the music of the lovely Karen Carpenter on the anniversary of her passing
It was 32 years ago today that we lost Karen Carpenter far too soon.
She was just 32 when she died after struggling for many years with Anorexia.
What has been so amazing – and wonderful – is that not only has Karen absolutely never been forgotten, but her legions of fans have kept her music alive.
We are thankful she lived long enough to leave us such a treasure trove of superb music that we can continue to enjoy.
Here is some of it:

Rick Henry says:
I love Karen Carpenter. She was a one of a kind. My favorite album of any she recorded was her solo album. Her songs “Guess I Just Lost My Head” and “If I Had You” are amongst the very best of anything she ever recorded.
