  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!

  Saw Thes had posted this across other platforms but glad to see he's active and making music.  It's what Mike would have wanted and long may it continue.

  He had a go at his own thing, so respect for trying to make something that he loved be his career.

  But the real problem was obvious : His hat was too small.

  No idea what he/she is rapping about but a great voice & flow.
