Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on March 02, 1950)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Karen Carpenter! Your voice is smoother than buttercream frosting and sweeter than birthday cake. Even after all these years, your timeless hits like "Close to You" and "We've Only Just Begun" still make us sing along loudly (and slightly off-key) in our cars.

From topping charts worldwide with your brother Richard, to charming audiences everywhere with that unforgettable smile—your legacy continues bringing joy across generations. Today we celebrate you by playing Carpenters classics on repeat; neighbors beware!

Here's wishing a heavenly birthday filled with laughter, music, and endless applause—you truly deserve it!
