Growing up and to this day, Ms. Karen Carpenter, my all-time favorite singer and drummer, has had a profound impact on my life, especially considering her tragic death. Her songs, her inspirations and even her rhythms mesmerized me. I often wonder why she chose to end her life and why she died alone and heartbroken. Perhaps if she had waited, we could have collaborated on new albums and created more beautiful music. 😁😁😁.
