"Close To You" The Clams (1974)


This, like "Why Daddy" Ronnie Dove, has to be amongst the strangest records to ever bear any involvement from Motown Records.

This is a novelty version of the Carpenters classic "Close To You" - done in Spike Jones style

Turn it up....


The flip side has another Spike Jones treatment, this time To Roberta Flack.
