[60s] Popular Western Music Ranking [By Generation] (91–100)

Close To YouCarpenters99rank/position

Among the Carpenters’ catalog, the classic “(They Long to Be) Close to You” stands out as one of their most beloved hits.

Released in the 1970s, this love song portrays a woman pining for someone she adores.

Musically, it sits squarely in the realm of classic pop, with a brisk yet gentle melody.

The English lyrics flow smoothly, and the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, making it an easy song to sing.

You can certainly perform it in the style of the original, but a downbeat, whispery approach—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Give it a try for inspiration.

John Lennon’s cover version is also well-known.

In the ’80s, it had a revival hit through the film “Stand by Me.” In Japan, it’s been used in numerous TV commercials, starting with car ads, making it a number everyone has heard.

Don’t overthink it—sing it with feeling!
