Little Girl Blue

the Life of Karen Carpenter
Mar 22, 2018
(*Lyrics excerpt from "We've Only Just Begun") - "And when the evening comes, we smile.... So much of life ahead.... We'll find a place where there's room to grow.... And, yes - We've just begun." Beneath that velvety-smooth, pitch-perfect singing voice and her seemingly uncomplicated public persona - Karen Carpenter definitely harboured (and struggled with) some surprisingly detrimental demons. And one of those demons of destruction inevitably revealed itself (with such a deadly force) in the distorted shape of "Anorexia Nervosa". Competently written by Randy Schmidt - "Little Girl Blue" is a very intimate profile of the troubled life of Karen Carpenter. It contains a 24-page photo gallery of colour and b&w stills. *Note* - In 1983 - Karen Carpenter (32 at the time) died of heart failure. P.S. - Be sure to watch The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" music-video.
