Karen Carpenter died on 4th February 1983 and, although the phrase ""sadly missed"" is overused and often misused, in her case it is absolutely justified. Her distinctive, liquid-golden-honeyed vocals, all-American but always crystal clear, backed by brother Richard's lush arrangements and orchestrations, graced the world's charts for most of the 70s, serving as a melodic counterpoint to some of the excesses of the rock industry's output at the time. It was easy listening par excellence - and there has never been anything quite like them since. This DVD contains all Hits, performed live 1972.
