"I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten" by British singer Dusty Springfield, written by Clive Westlake. Recorded June 1 1968 at Chappel Studios in London, "I Close My Eyes..." was released that August to reach 4 in the UK where it ranks as one of Springfield's biggest hits: of her solo singles only "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself" (3) and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1) outrank "I Close My Eyes..." while "I Only Want to Be with You" matches its 4 peak ("I Only Want to Be With You" charted substantially longer than I Close My Eyes...", eighteen weeks as opposed to twelve).

In the US "I Close My Eyes..." was Springfield's final release on the Phillips label, Springfield having signed in June 1968 to have Atlantic Records be her US label of release as of that August: consequently the single was virtually ignored in the US reaching 122 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in Billboard. (The US release of "I Close My Eyes..." replaced the UK B-side "No Stranger Am I" with Springfield's rendition of "La Bamba".)

Top of the pile,at a time when the competition was fierce.Close your eyes and she's black,not a mimic like some of therecent clones,a true original.Nobody sounds like Dusty,then or now.

A very moving song by a great lady. Perfect in every way. Sad she's no longer with us but her music lives on with the Pet Shop Boys too.
