(They Long to Be) Close to You
"(They Long to Be) Close to You" is a popular song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
==Background==
The song was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain and released as a single in 1963 as "They Long to Be Close to You", without parentheses. However, only that single's flip side, "Blue Guitar", became a hit. The tune was also recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 1963 and re-recorded with a Burt Bacharach arrangement for her 1964 album ''Make Way for Dionne Warwick'', and was released as the B-side of her 1965 single "Here I Am". Bacharach released his own version in 1968. But the version recorded by The Carpenters, with instrumental backing by L.A. studio musicians from the Wrecking Crew, which became a hit in 1970, is the best known.
The first recorded duet of this song is attributed to Dinah Washington and Lionel Hampton, which can be found at YouTube.〔(Close_To_You.wmv - YouTube )〕 The latter released the album ''Jazz Moods'' (1995)〔[http://www.allmusic.com/album/release/jazz-moods-charly-disc2-mr0002874258 Jazz Moods [Charly Disc 2] - Various Artists | Release Information, Reviews and Credits | AllMusic]〕 with this song. A compilation album of Dinah (label ''Bluenite'', the Netherlands 1996) also contains this duet. As Dinah had died in late 1963, this is believed to be one of the first recordings of this song.
