About The Nearness of You
"The Nearness of You" is a popular song written in 1937 by Hoagy Carmichael, with lyrics by Ned Washington. Intended for an unproduced Paramount Pictures film titled Romance In The Rough, the studio's publishing division Famous Music reregistered and published the song three years later in 1940. It was first recorded by Chick Bullock and his Orchestra on Vocalion.
