^^Thanks for the insight !
I see Ticket To Ride peaked in April 1970.
And, Close To You released May 1970.
Be that as it may, Close To You was (and, remains) a tough sell for me,
whereas Ticket To Ride has brilliance written all over it.
I do recall--way back, sometime in the 1970's--when I first recall hearing
Close To You on the radio, I was actually not impressed !
Since, above all--at that point in time--(while listening to The Singles 1969-1973 LP)
the two lackluster songs for me on that LP were
Close To You and It's Going To Take Some Time !
So, to this day, the success of Close To You boggles my mind.
Good song, I'll give it that.
But, Ticket To Ride
seems to be head and shoulders above it !
