This song is owned by UMG and no copyright infringement is intended with this upload. A new song from Ron Isley featuring Lauryn Hill which was meant to appear on Ron Isley's 2010 album, Mr. I, but apparently didn't get clearance from the song owner(s). If you liked listening to this song you may also like listening to Lauryn Hill & Curtis Mayfield - "Here But I'm Gone" in the video response and in my other uploads.

"(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 tune was also recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 1963 and re-recorded with a Burt Bacharach arrangement for her 1964 album Make Way for Dionne Warwick, and was released as the B-side of her 1965 single "Here I Am." Bacharach released his own version in 1968. But the version recorded by The Carpenters is the most well known, which became a big hit in 1970.
