Something for the weekend. After this week we all need some mellow. Time to turn to the Queen of Mellow, the late and great Karen Carpenter, singing Close to You (1970),

Taking me back to Fort Wayne.
1971.
Times square was the first mini-mall of sorts which was 1 or 1 and a half miles away. A great ride on my sting ray from our home on Cherry Lane.
This song had so much air time as it was worthy of much air time. Great soothing voice and lyrics that speak of God without mention His name.
Very good pick from your collection of 45’s.
Thanks.
I needed that.
I always think of my Dad when I hear this song. It was on the radio when I was a youngster, and he came out and sat down by me and mentioned how he like this singer and this song. I don’t hear this song that I don’t think of that.
She still makes me close my eyes to listen and sing along.
