Close to You is the eleventh studio album by American musician Frank Sinatra, accompanied by the Hollywood String Quartet.
The album was recorded over a period of eight months and five different sessions, and was arranged by Nelson Riddle.
Nelson Riddle commented that the structure of popular songs does not lend itself to arranging in the true string quartet style of the classics and felt that he hadn't really achieved as much as he had hoped. However, when the album was released it received critical praise and as Riddle remarked, "Sinatra liked it!".
For its CD release, the album was retitled Close to You and More, referencing the bonus tracks.
