Vocal-only tracks from singer Karen Carpenter, tributes from Sonic Youth ("Tunic [Song for Karen]"), The Young Fresh Fellows ("Hank, Karen, and Elvis"), and Charlie Hunter ("A Song for Karen Carpenter"), and other songs from The Carpenters. From Wikipedia: "Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983) was an American singer and drummer. She and her brother, Richard, formed the 1970s duo, the Carpenters. Although her skills as a drummer earned admiration from drumming luminaries and peers, she is best known for her vocal performances. She had a contralto vocal range. Carpenter suffered from anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder which was little known at the time. She died at age 32 from heart failure caused by complications related to her illness."
