Comment:

Sometimes the last dance is the last chance, but even if you already know who you're leaving with, that final fling around the floor can be crucial to determining the love-meter level for the rest of the evening. You can't go wrong with Bacharach, and neither could the Carpenters, whose lighter-than-air recording of the old mellow-master's "(They Long to Be) Close to You" captures that dreamy-eyed, lump-in-the-throat feeling with a marksman's aim. But if you just want to lay all your cards on the table, throw your arms — and heart — wide open and sing along with Keith Carradine's take-me-I'm-yours curtain-closer "I'm Easy."
