Celine Dion did it with Frank Sinatra...Natalie King Cole did it with her dad, Nat....why doesnt a singer today, digitally insert themselves into a famous Carpenters song? That would be awesome. But who should the famous singer be?

Richard would not like that idea.

oh, so you asked him and he said he wouldnt like it? your comments were meant to be suggested, dont make comments for others.

Hi smv

I would agree, I think Richard has spent far too long perfecting, remixing, preserving their legacy that I don't think he'd do this, BUT if you're asking:

I'd like to see Karen 'duet' with singers such as

Barbara Streisand
either of the ABBA girls
and Olivia would be touching!!!

Stephen

Definitely Olivia.

I would love to have seen the two close friends really duet together.

Perhaps they could fuse Karen and Frank Sinatra's voice together. That would be great.

karen and frank would sound phenomenal together....that would be hair raising.

Richard is the king of gag orders and legal restraints. He is very protective of the Carpenter music and image as he should be and that is why he does the remastered recordings so that the music does not pass over into the public domain. And yes, I talk to Richard regularly, along with God and Ghandi.

hahaha!!!
Give them all my best next time you chat with them

Well...Richard did it for that "Top Of The World" video....why doesn't he do more of that for us fanatical U.S. fans, too??? He did that one for Japan!!! HEY, RICHARD......we want more!!! We want more!!!! Wait'll he gets that website going!

I went to see Richard in concert around '97. Richard also played a duet with himself. Richard played the piano at a stage and Richard in a video played the harpsichord.

Have you seen Richard in solo concert? Didn't he play to a video?

Maybe one of his children may do it with Karen in the future(?)

Sakura from Japan

Hey, alright, Sakura......Richard's kids with Karen....that would be totally awesome!!! Like Nat King Cole's daughter and her father!!!! Wow...talk about
neat!!!!

I found the following article.(Downey Eagle) I wonder if Richard played to big screen.


Richard Carpenter 'Music and Memories' Sept. 12
LONG BEACH-The CSU-Long Beach's Carpenter Performing Arts Center launches its 1998-99 season with a special appearance by one of the most beloved artists of our generation: Richard Carpenter, at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.
Reprising the best elements of the show which recently dazzled audiences throughout Japan, Carpenter's spectacular production features the CSU-Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, and jumbo video screens to project live pictures, family photos, and archival footage of Carpenter performing with his late sister, Karen.

Tickets, priced at $100 (which includes a post-concert reception), $35 and $29, are currently on sale at the Arts Ticket Office, 6200 Atherton St. (between Bellflower and Palo Verde), Long Beach. For information, call 985-7000.

The Carpenters "Love Songs" compilation is nearing its 20th week on the Billboard charts

I'm surprised that Karen never sang with Barry Manilow. I'd think that would have been a natural thing to do.

That Top of the World video was kinda sad. To see an aged Richard with Karen still in time. It had to be hard to watch.... I know for me it's hard to see my sons grow up and get older but see my youngest son forever 3. So I dont like seeing that video. Once was enough for me. That's one thing Japan can keep
