"(They Long to Be) Close to You" is a popular song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain and released as a single in 1963 as "They Long to Be Close to You," without parentheses. However, it was the single's flip side, "Blue Guitar," that became a hit. Although Richard Chamberlain recorded the first version, The Carpenters' version is the most recognized version, having it as a hit in 1970. The single was released by Dionne Warwick in 1965, but its B-side became a hit. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
