"Near You" is a popular song written by Francis Craig with lyrics by Kermit Goell. The song was published in 1947.
The recording by Francis Craig (the song's composer) was released by Bullet Records as catalog number 1001. It first reached the Billboard Best Sellers chart on August 30, 1947, and lasted 21 weeks on the chart, peaking at number one. On the "Most Played By Jockeys" chart, the song spent 17 consecutive weeks at number one, setting a record for both the song and the artist with most consecutive weeks in the number-one position on a music chart.[1] In 2009, hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas surpassed Craig's record for artist with most consecutive weeks in the number-one position with the songs "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling". However, their record was accomplished with combined weeks of two #1 songs - one succeeding the other in the top position.
Other recordings of the song that charted on the Billboard best seller in 1947 include:[1]
Roger Williams recorded the song in 1958, and it charted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, peaking at number ten. Jerry Lee Lewis recorded an instrumental version of the song in 1959. It has also been recorded by Marlene Dietrich and Andy Williams.
In 1977, it was a number-one country hit for the duo of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The Jones-Wynette version was recorded on December 12, 1974.
"Near You" was used by Milton Berle as the closing song on his Texaco Star Theater, and became his theme song for many years thereafter.[3]

Instead of GPS, the platform used data from mobile towers and wifi networks to determine a person’s location, though it later added GPS to the location data as well. The Near platform utilizing this data was launched in November 2012. In 2013, the company moved its headquarters from Bangalore to Singapore. The company has received funding from venture capital firms Sequoia Capital,JP Morgan Private Equity Group,Telstra Ventures and Global Brain Corporation. It raised $6.5 million in Series A funding, and the $19 million raised in its 2014 Series B fundraising was the most raised by any company that year. In 2015, the company changed its name from AdNear to Near.

Nate River (Japanese: ネイト・リバー Hepburn: Neito Ribā), universally referred to by the mononym Near (ニア Nia), is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. Near is the younger of the two successors of L who was investigating the methods of identifying Kira, the in-universe name given to the mysterious serial killer who murdered criminals by means of the eponymous Death Note. He becomes the leader of the SPK (Special Provision for Kira), an organization that looks into the Kira case, and in the end, succeeds in uncovering Kira's identity. He is voiced by Noriko Hidaka in the Japanese anime, and by Cathy Weseluck in the English version. In the Japanese TV Drama, he is portrayed by Mio Yūki.
Tsugumi Ohba, writer of Death Note said that he introduced Near and Mello together as L individually could not defeat Kira. Ohba felt that introducing one character individually would produce a "repeat" of the struggle between Light and L, so he instead wanted a story involving three combatants fighting each other. Ohba said that he let Obata create the character designs and asked him to make both characters look "a little "L-ish"". Ohba said that he "wavered" in their ages and considered making the characters the sons of L. Ohba added that he did not initially develop their personalities as he wanted to "reveal" them through their actions.
