A Gem of a Third Album.......2007-05-09

The pop juggernaut that Barry Manilow has become was really starting to hit its stride in this, his third album (and his first for the fledgling Arista label in 1975). Having established his hit power with "Mandy", Manilow expanded his impressive production and songwriting capabilities in such over the top fare as "New York City Rhythm" and concefrt favorite "Bandstand Boogie" (which was used for years on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand").

The highlight of course, is current Beach Boy Bruce Johnston's "I Write the Songs", which was another major hit for his Barryness. Whether you see this song as schmaltzy dreck or 70s pop at it's finest, it is undeniable that Manilow had "it" in the "Afternoon Delight" decade.

My personal favorites are the rarely heard tracks "As sure as I'm Standing Here" (co-written with "Could it be Magic" collaborator Adrienne Anderson) and Larry Weiss' "Lay Me Down (and roll me out to sea)".

Impeccably crafted and arranged, "Tryin' to Get the Feelin' Again" is a classic example of Barry Manilow's early pop career.

Songwriter at his best..........2006-02-16

Barry is first and foremost a songwriter,and this album epitomizes the very gift that is so much an integral part of him.Someone else usually does the lyrics.But can you listen if the MUSIC doesn't first capture the attention?That is precisely my point. It's the SOUND that pulls you in,that you actually HEAR,and then you listen to the lyrics.This album is another of Barry's in which he tells us a story and we are yet again captured....

I Want to have this feeling.......2005-09-19

I am crazy about this cd. I want to have the feeling I get listening to this collection with every cd I purchase. The title track is one of the all time great power ballads and the reason I bought this one but I must say I found so many other songs I had never heard before that are gems. She's a Star is a song Barry wrote about his time touring with Bette Midler and it says it all. NYC Rhythm makes you want to dance aroung the room. Lay Me Down breaks your heart. Marry Me a Little is such a wonderful surprise, I adore this song, thank you Barry for including it on this cd.

Kinda So-So.......2003-06-13

The one thing I remember about this album was me trying to locate it. It took about three and a half years and when I did find it, it was in the most unlikely spot, under a bunch of discontinued albums. The very bottom one. I was so excited to have finally gotten it, then to get it home and I was like 'oh, bother', but anyway its still a Manilow album and I still have it.

Of Course I Had to Have This One in My Collection!.......2002-10-01

By now you realize that I can't really be objective about Barry. This is number 14 in my new CD Replacement and Discovery collection. Number One Discovery being "Singin' With the Big Bands". Number One Replacement being "2am Paradise Cafe".

I remember this cover, and I remember wishing that there was a picture of Barry on it instead (now I kinda like the kitchy piano man) but I got a big smile when I opened the CD case and found a picture of Barry with Bagel (the beagle) and wearing his "I Love Beagles" t-shirt. For me, worth the price of the CD!

But what about the music, you ask? In every Barry CD, there are one or two songs that are Greatness. Those are "As Sure As I'm Standing Here", and "Lay Me Down". I'm also adding "Marry Me A Little", a bonus track Barry had originally recorded for this album, and then left it out. It has all the promise of what lay ahead musically for Barry. It's like that magical first kiss at the end of a great date.

So... will you be hearing from me again? Sure! I just got "Showstoppers"! And if it's true Barry has 30 CD's on Amazon alone, I've still got 16 to go.
Really love ya, Barry!
(You all know he's cool again, right?)

One Overlooked Song.......2002-01-20

Yes, this is the album that made me a Barry Manilow fan waaaay back in Junior High. Go ahead, roll your eyes, and cringe in the memory of shmaltzy melodies, too many key changes, and "Copacabana". You would be well within your rights.

But this disc contains one highly overlooked song that, IMHO, is one of the best Manilow ever recorded, and one of the finest ballads ever written: the often-overloked "Lay Me Down". Here's an understated performance of a fantastic melody. Wonderful lyrics. A great tune.
