Karen Carpenter’s voice was almost unreal in it’s beauty. Thanks for the Fleetwood Mac. No 70’s thread is complete without them! “I’m So Afraid”- first recorded in the 70’s, but this is a 1997 performance from “The Dance”. I LOVE Lindsay’s guitar in this. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6mce3LdkyA) This one squeaks by- Linda Ronstadt performing her 1970 hit, “Long Long Time” on Bobby Darin’s TV special. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tJWEVTHRPXI/hqdefault.jpg "Linda Ronstadt and Bobby Darin - Long Long Time") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJWEVTHRPXI) I used to refer to her as the “queen of remakes”, but she had quite a voice. Probably still does. ---
