Close to You (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Close to You" is a popular song.

It was written by Jerry Livingston, Carl Lampl, and Al Hoffman.

It has been recorded several times by Frank Sinatra: on June 7, 1943 and again on December 26 of the same year for Columbia Records, on November 1, 1956 for Capitol Records, and on October 29, 1970 for Reprise Records. The 1956 version was issued as the title track of an album of the same name in 1957 by Capitol.

This song should not be confused with the Burt Bacharach-Hal David song, "(They Long to Be) Close to You", a major 1970s hit for The Carpenters.
