Elvis’ Proposal
Karen was undeniably attractive and she even caught the attention of the biggest star at the moment, Elvis Presley. How did the rumors begin? Apparently, the King invited both Karen and singer Petula Clark to come by his hotel room for a ménage a trois. “He was very amused by that. It was probably the first time anyone had ever turned him down,” Clark said when she recounted the awkward moment.

When Karen passed away, a lot of artists spoke about the Carpenters and the young woman in particular. One of these talented musicians would be Paul McCartney from the Beatles. According to him, Karen had one of the best voices of all time! Now that is incredibly high praise!
