Original by The Carpenters (click)
"Close to You" is a popular song written by Jerry Livingston, Carl Lampl and Al Hoffman.
It has been recorded three times by Frank Sinatra; on June 7, 1943, again on December 26, 1943 for Columbia Records and on November 1, 1956 for Capitol Records. The 1956 version was issued as the title track of an album, Close to You and More, in 1957 for Capitol.
Close to You, the Willie Dixon cover, appears on many of The Doors' live releases, including originally on Absolutely Live in July, 1970.
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, which was also recorded by Sinatra on October 29, 1970 for his album Sinatra And Company.
