 | | “Near You,” which headed radio’s Hit Parade six times, made its first impression in a band recording conducted by its composer Francis Craig whose name, like that of the lyricist Kermit Goell, was about as unfamiliar as that of the record-maker, “Bullet” or the publisher, “Supreme.” |
 | | It was a Vitacoustic record by the Harmonicats (three harmonicas and a guitar) that brought back this charmingly unpretentious ballad of the past. |
 | | The song was on the Hit Parade for 20 weeks, 10 times at the top. |
