The Carpenters had a huge hit on their debut album in 1970 called "Close To You". Until today, I didn't know that Burt Bacharach wrote the song. The little trumpet solo makes it even more obvious. I don't know how the guy playing the clarinet got a trumpet sound out of it. I loved this song back in the day. I still do.
I adore The Carpenters and listen to their album in my car all the time.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I've always loved this song, too! My folks played tons of Bacharach when I was growing up so I've got a soft spot for all those tunes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the video - awesome.
Take care and happy holidays!

ReplyDeleteI got that tag too, and I enjoyed reading yours.
The Carpenters were one of my favourite groups when I was younger, and I still love to sing along with their albums. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that song. I haven't thought of it in many years. I was still able to sing along, much to Jessica's dismay.
