B'wana She No Home is an outstanding jazz-fusion song from the Carpenters most eclectic album "Passage" recorded in 1977. Bwana She No Home was written by jazz musician/singer/songwriter Michael Franks and was originally recorded by him titled as "B'wana He No Home".

Great grooving jam - the instrumental has touches of early Steely Dan/Santana IMHO, plus KC's unmistakeable/unique voice.10 years ago

She really nails it. I don't want to take anything away from her, but if you like this, you'll like the original, Michael Franks (album, Sleeping Gypsy). His version has the same flavor, but with a little more funk. They're both great. I miss her. And if you don't know who Michael Franks is, you're missing some of the best music ever played! 10 years ago

Hey, thanks for your reply. Knowing details and more info of a song leads me to listen to it in a more careful way and with more interest. Your description is very helpful. I do appreciate it.10 years ago

Hi Takumanic... "B'wana she No Home" was not recorded in mono. although it was recorded live in the studio. Usually Carpenters go into the studio and record each instrument (or grouping of instruments) on separate tracks and than blend it together. For this song they wanted to create a "jam band" sound so they recorded it all at once live in the studio. All the musicians were there together playing their parts. I think it came off to outstanding effect.10 years ago

Can anyone shed some light on why only this track from Passage was recorded in mono?11 years ago

With Passage, the Carpenters explored in some interesting and fun directions, this song being an excellent example. Such a bummer that they followed it up with the safe, insipid Made in America.13 years ago

Tom Scott produced and arranged most of the music to this album, and I believe that is his flute and sax on there as well. He is incredible as well.It has always been interesting how the best arrangers and artists go so well together. Carpenters and Tom Scott just like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. Incredible.13 years ago

@diegolcl Isn't that something. "B'wana She No Home" is one of those songs that your standard longtime Carpenters fan just does not get. but fans of jazz fusion and pop music with an edge really like this song. People who generally do not like Carpenters like this one...13 years ago

This song shows that Karen could have sung anything and still sounded great. There has never been anyone like her since, and I doubt there will ever be again.15 years ago

I like the beat. If I have ever heard this number, it was back in the '70's. That had to be a 64 measure instrumental. She seemed to have some flesh on her bones.15 years ago

Yes, Karen Carpenter's music was moving towards a jazz influence. Her entire solo album was jazz influenced with inflections of funk, pop, disco, new wave, rock and other influences.15 years ago

Thanks so much for posting this! I haven't heard it in 30 years or so. This was the only Carpenters album I ever owned, and this song has been in my head ever since. I've stumped more than one Karen Carpenter fan with this one! And of course, this is the record that turned me on to Evita, and I still haven't heard a better version of Don't Cry For Me Argentina.15 years ago

Hi TBoneinNYC... that's also why I love this song... it's different from what we're used to hearing from her and it's actually an outstanding song musically . In making the slideshow for this song I tried to choose photos which fit the attitude of the song. Hopefully I succeeded in capturing that 'tude.Related Videos
