I'm somewhat familiar with Karen Carpenter's rich, low vocals, but I've never done a deep dive analysis just yet. That changes today! This song "Close To You" has reached number 1 on a bunch of charts, including the Billboard Hot 100, and made The Carpenters an international sensation for decades to come. Color me intrigued!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes The Carpenters for the first time, performing "Close To You”.
