Gerald Albright - Close To You

2011 " Pushing the Envelope " Album.
www.amazon.com/...
2011 GRAMMY NOMINEE: BEST POP INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM
Jazz and R&B icon Gerald Albright is considered to be one of the most innovative and successful artists of the last twenty-five years. With the release of Pushing The Envelope, Albright's super cool side is back. With its polished soul/jazz vibe, Pushing The Envelope is a showcase for Albright's remarkably fine balance of songcraft and musicianship, and features special guest appearances by Fred Wesley on trombone, Earl Klugh on acoustic guitar and George Duke on acoustic piano.
Produced and arranged by Albright, Pushing The Envelope provides the perfect opportunity for this master musician/saxophonist/songwriter to exhibit his skills. He plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards, and also handles synthesizer, EWI and drum programming. Albright's band on most of the album includes keyboardists Tracy Carter and Luther "Mano" Hanes, guitarist Ricky Watford and drummer Ricky Lawson.
Pushing the Envelope is easily Gerald Albright's most rewarding session to date. "The title reflects all the tunes on the project," Albright says. "I didn't want to hold anything back. I really wanted to push the envelope and give people a little more edge. I come from the era where we didn't think of a formula - we went from the gut."

I wonder who did the background vocals here. Anyway... Why do birds Suddenly appear Every time You are near? Just like me, They long to be Close to you. Why do stars Fall from the sky Every time You walk by? Just like me, They long to be Close to you. On the day that you were born, The angels got together, And decided to create a dream come true, So they sprinkled moondust in your hair Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue. That is why All the girls/boys in town Follow you All around. Just like me They long to be Close to you.
