I think Karen Carpenter is every singer in the world should be made to listen to Karen Carpenter.
There's no melismas.
There's no screaming.
She has perfect pitch.
She enunciates every single word.
Who else do I like?
Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan.
Dusty Springfield.
Dusty's amazing.
Brilliant Dusty.
Dusty Springfield.
Dusty in Memphis.
It's probably one of the best albums ever made.
It's brilliant.
And I love the fact that her real name is Mary O'Brien.
It's so brilliant.
Well, my friend, Patti LuPone, Klang goes the name, I've been friends with this woman who, she's not that famous, but she's famous on Broadway, and she had opened in Sunset Boulevard in London, and
The New York Times reviewed it.
She was taking it to Broadway.
And Lloyd Webber, the critics said she was too young.
