"The Nearness of You" Keely Smith

[Amarillo605]

I love her sultry voice. She is my favorite of all.

I have been listening to all the top singers both male and female for some 55 yrs but I never heard one who could top Keely - and there are some great singers out there both present and past, but Keely you are my all time favorite, keep singing !

Thank you for sharing this. I had never heard of Keely Smith before. What a voice!

I'd forgotten what a great singer she was, especially when she sang a ballad. Thank you for sharing.

A HUGE "thank you" for sharing this classic tune for us. I adore the voice of Keely Smith. And this is one of my all time favorite romantic ballads. A marriage made in music heaven! Have a SUPER groovy New Year! :)

You're welcome. I agree with you.

Man, she can put a song over- its tops in my book! She is the only gal singer that does this song so well that I noticed. And I listened to many of them.Old and new.

Indeed this is the best version by a woman singer...
