    Absolute banger : (They Long to Be) Close to You.  The Carpenters one.

    Everyone knows a BB tune.  For me, the signature move is the melody is always written for the human voice.  And the tastemiester bab-bah horn arrangements.  I read all the obits and never knew he'd gone back so far as Marlene Dietrich and been married to Angie Dickinson, or that his Asperger's daughter killed herself.  For all the fame, there's always a hint of tragedy in the wings, right?

    Lachrymosity-R : "Close to You" reminds me of my late mum.  Even before she passed, I knew this would be the tune that would always kick me right in the feels and then once more for spite, when she wasn't going to be around anymore. I remember her singing this to me at probably two or three years old.  One of my earliest memories.

    Thanks Burt!

    Great reminiscence Jim, I can feel the melancholy across the miles

    I just decided: the greatest Burt B song version is the Stranglers with Walk on By
