Performer: Barry Manilow
Producer: Barry Manilow Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Barry Manilow, one of the 20th century's most popular MOR singers, has recorded his fair share of romantic pop since the start of his career in the early 1970s. This collection illustrates the singer's ease with a wide range of material, from his classically based 1980s hit "Could It Be Magic," through a beautifully orchestrated interpretation of Frank Sinatra's "Angel Eyes," to Manilow's version of David Gates's classic 1970s love song, "If."
To many the very embodiment of the soft rock and middle-of-the-road genres, Barry Manilow became an international superstar in the 1970s with a string of hits combining heart-on-sleeve sentiment and finely crafted songs with slick, highly orchestrated production. His ultra-showbiz image (which was likely influenced by his early days as musical director for Bette Midler), appealed to an extremely wide audience. Although Manilow has long been regarded as the antithesis of hip, there is no denying his considerable talent, and his fans are among the most loyal (some might say fanatical) in pop music.
