The songs on "Wind Beneath My Wings" were culled from Judy Collins' two Gold Castle albums, "Trust Your Heart" (1987) and "Sanity and Grace" (1989, recorded live in Tarrytown, NY).

"Barry Manilow" is the 6th self-titled album released by singer and songwriter Barry Manilow. The album was released in 1989, and reached Gold certification. This album also represented a hint of future album releases… 95% of the songs were not written/co-written by Manilow, which had until that point been rare. Manilow, known for being a composer, typically always stocked his albums with material he co-wrote with his celebrated lyricists. After the release of this album, the 1990s dawned and a new era in his career began as he embarked on introducing contemporary audiences to pop music of the 1930s through the late 1940s. This album is also one of his longest of original material, clocking in at nearly an hour.
