Lots of people have covered this Skeeter Davis song, Brenda Lee, Patty Page, Abba's Agnetha and Julie London to name a few but Karen Carpenter kills it and makes it her own. She had an incredible voice. Buddy Rich said that she was one of the world's greatest drummers. Live every day like its your last one, never know when it just might be.

for someone of Buddy's stature to say that is huge. i knew Karen was good on drums. didn't know she was that good. of course, as a singer, she was one of a kind. as Segovia would say of his favorite proteges, God had laid a finger on her brow. i find it very difficult not to break into tears every time i hear her sing.
