Karen Carpenter passed away on this date in 1983. Here's a mini-tribute...
-The duo did several TV specials in the 1970s to try and reinvent themselves (and stem declining record sales). This plan was the brainchild of their new manager, Jerry Weintraub… and it didn’t quite achieve what they wanted (for a number of reasons, including changing musical trends, and Rich and Karen’s health). The first special featured this lengthy, green-screen-laden drum medley by Karen. Even though this is clearly “lip-synched” (aka mimed), people forget that she was an amazing drummer...
-The 1994 film “Tommy Boy” includes this hilarious clip, featuring “Superstar”
