Great song

Yes, I think so too. It got a lot of airplay at the time.

Awesome song, but I'm a fan of the Lou Reed cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eZjwJZF8uE

That's a nice cover. It's just I grew up with this one, so it holds some sentimental value.

Understood, the Lou Reed was the version I first heard, so same deal.

Come A Little Big Closer is probably my favorite from Jay & the Americans, and is the iconic version IMO. Good stuff.
