Karen Carpenter - The Drummer
BackThis is a video showcasing Karen Carpenter's undeniable talents as a drummer. For those who aren't aware of Karen's involvement with the drums, let it be known that they were her first passion and came before she began her career as a singer. Karen's drumming can be heard on many tracks on several Carpenters albums.
What's also most notable about Karen is that she sang and drummed simultaneously... her singing never hindered her drumming, and vice versa... she never ever hit a sour note or missed a beat. An extremely small amount of people can profess to having such a talent.
"She was a 5'4 tornado, pair of drumsticks in her hand".

What is the song called at the end, the one with 'She was a 5'4 Tornado..'?

It's a modified version (new lyrics) of "Piano Picker", from "A Song for You", their 1972 album. I am pretty sure that the new lyrics were written for one of their TV specials in the late 70s.
