"What a gem of a video! Seeing Karen Carpenter shredding the drums at just 18 in 'Dancing in the Street' (1968) is a reminder that, before being a celestial voice, she was an elite percussionist who defied every rule in the industry 🥁✨ 🤔 Fun fact: Her talent was so undeniable that in 1975, Playboy magazine readers voted her the Best Rock Drummer of the year, beating out icons like Led Zeppelin's John Bonham and Ringo Starr. A true rhythm queen! 🏆💥 Did you know? 🤯

@SVG__Collection Talented drummer, even more talented singer……

@SVG__Collection Rest in Peace Karen Carpenter

@SVG__Collection I had no idea she played the drums! 😱
