Too Close

I had NEVER heard of Rev. Otis Mays and The Bostonians…I’m not even sure if they’re from Boston or not, but I’m a believer. Too Close is one of my favorite gospel songs and this is one of the best versions I’ve heard. From the funky intro (with clavinet, piano, B3 and guitar), to the slow, soulful solo verses with the great backup band punctuating the lyrics, this song rocks me. But, like yesterday’s song of the day (“My Change Will Come“), this song also fades into oblivion WAY before it really ends, leaving one yearning to hear what happens next.

One thought on “Too Close”

  1. Indeed I have never heard of that gentleman either. And although that was a seriously interesting instrumental introduction, I liked the Alex Bradford version of the song, that I grew up on, a little bit better
