Come a Little Bit Closer - Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Produced by the legendary Billy Sherrill, a pioneer of the countrypolitan sound, "Come a Little Bit Closer" was part of Johnny Duncan’s album of the same name, which capitalized on his string of successful singles during the mid-1970s. Released in 1977, the tender, country-flavored duet "Come a Little Bit Closer" featured rising background vocalist Janie Fricke and tells the story of a flirtatious and dangerous late-night encounter, now reimagined with a country twist. Originally a hit for Jay and the Americans in 1964, their cover version of "Come a Little Bit Closer" gave the song a smooth Nashville makeover, blending classic country instrumentation with the sensual warmth of a romantic ballad. Meanwhile, Janine Fricke—who was gaining attention for her striking harmony vocals on numerous hits by other artists—was featured prominently on the track, delivering a performance that hinted at her own solo stardom to come.
