A&M 4954 October 17
1983
February 4, 1983. On that day I lost my sister, a dear friend, and my professional partner. The world lost a beautiful spirit. Karen had not only a voice that was heaven-sent, but a personality that warmed the lives of everyone who had met and known her. She was with us only 32 years. Though my family and I will never get over losing her at such an early age, we can take comfort in the marvelous legacy she left us all. Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss gave us the opportunity to record and due to that opportunity Karen's voice touched and will continue to touch the lives of millions. That was a privilege she was very proud of... as I am proud of her. She is greatly missed.

In the notes to the Carpenters: The Compact Disc Collection, Richard Carpenter wrote:
Released after Karen's tragic, untimely passing, Voice Of The Heart is a collection of songs from our last recording sessions (Spring 1982) and others recorded through the years. At the time of Karen's passing, the album needed quite a bit of arranging and production work to bring it to completion. This proved difficult at times but I knew that Karen would have wanted these songs in release. I felt the same. My favourite is Now by Roger Nichols and Dean Pitchford. The vocal was recorded in March of 1982 and Karen's voice was never lovlier.
