Get Closer (1982) is a Grammy Award-winning album by singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt.
This album's driving title track, "Get Closer" was written by Washington D.C.-based singer-songwriter Jon Carroll, an original member of the Starland Vocal Band. The song, notable for its unusual 7/4 time signature, was later chosen to promote Close-Up toothpaste ("Get Close Up").
Assisted by a popular MTV music video, "Get Closer" peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit the Top 20 in Cash Box magazine. It garnered considerable airplay on AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) stations while its follow-up single, "I Knew You When", was also aided by a popular music video and peaked at number 37 Pop, number 25 Adult Contemporary, and number 84 Country.
