Karen As A Song Writer!

Pookeysmom's Photo Pookeysmom 20 May 2004

What do you think Karen would have written if she was a song writer?? Did she ever try to write, or was she content to sing and play drums?? Just thinking....!

Doubt whether Karen attempted to compose songs as with Richard & John Bettis as she always referred to their songwriting partnership as unique for Carpenters
sound and projects :bowdown

I wonder whether Karen worked on some drum / percussion instrumentals during her long career ....she was naturally talented and I am always surprised that Karen never had any instrumental composed credits on either albums or TV Specials and especially during Carpenter Jazz Trio period .... :bowdown

Love Karen's instrumental solos for Live Palladium album and several Carpenters TV Specials ....just wish more were available .....hint ..hint to Richard as extras on
official website musical extras / downloads :unsure:

Perhaps there are some Karen credits ....somewhere in the archives :unsure:

Peter....Hopeful....

It would be great if Karen had written some songs. I think her style of writing would be similar to the lyrics of her favorite song "I need to be in love". She was depressed, and I think that these kinds of songs would have flowed out of her....had she been given the chance.
