    This girl, playing songs by her grandparents, takes us to unforgettable moments. It's incredible that a young woman can recreate such beautiful songs from 50 years ago. I have seen that many comments are from 70-year-old people...

    I never thought that I could ever listen to anyone other than Karen Carpenter sing this, one of my favourite songs. I now know I was wrong. It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness of the memories, loves, and losses of an old man. Such a beautiful rendition. Thank you.

      I agree. At 2:44 when she sings Close to You, it sounds just as good as when I heard it decades ago. That part of the song I think is one the greatest parts of any song ever written. Sometimes, I just keep rewinding that part of the song. i could listen to that all day. You can't be sad hearing that kind of music.
