“Come a little bit closer” was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, writers of many hit records.
Gary Chester plays drums, Willie Bobo - timbales and Johnny Rodriquez - conga drums. A great percussion section on this track. Gary Chester played on hundreds of recordings, mainly east coast, non west coast Wrecking Crew tracks.
This tune was 29 of 100 in the 1964 Billboard Charts.
I really like the syncopation groove between what drummer Gary Chester plays with the horns. It’s a bit like James Brown - Cold Sweat.
