In the most stunning part, half way through it, " can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace " it sounds very old timey, and I was wondering Is that really Karen ?

Actually, the lyric is:
"Can't I pretend
that I'm locked in the bend
of your embrace?"
The song was a big-band hit back in the Forties. It was one of the Andrews Sisters biggest hits.

Do you know if that was actually Karen that sounded like that ?

The background vocals on I Can Dream, Can't I? were provided by Sue Allen, Jerry Whitman, Allan Davies, Gene Merlino. I don't know if Karen and Richard sang along with them or not. But since the background singers consisted of three men and one woman, I would assume that Karen did sing along with them, to give a fuller sound...

I don't think she did. I think that sound was created uniquely by the backing singers employed to provide that segment of the song.

" can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace "
The phrasing on that particular line is the highlight of the song for me. I once filled a thirty minute tape with just that line, and would listen to it to hearts content
The slight pause between bend, and of used to drive nuts, it was so gorgeous...
