For many years the world tried to understand why Karen Carpenter starved herself to death when at the top of the music world. The answer they often gave was that she had a medical condition b ut if you read her life story you find that she was just put under a spotlight that she did not want to be in.

Karen wanted to play the drums and sing in the background but she was forced to be upfront on stage and that slowly depressed her as she could never accept the way she looked and a lot of that had to do with tabloids that questioned her weight when she went up or down a few pounds. 

We miss all the good songs we never heard.
