Lauryn Hill and Ron Isley's "Close to You"
If Ron Isley’s voice were a fabric, it of course would be the finest silk. Lauryn Hill would probably be a Persian rug with an urban twist. Now imagine both their voices over a sparing piano. Oh, the texture! The song, a remake of Burt Bacharach's“(They Long to Be) Close to You” is off Isley’s Mr. I album to be released later this month. As for a comeback from Ms. Hill, we’re growing more and more optimistic.
