Barry Manilow

"Even Now" is the 5th studio album (sixth overall) by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. It was recorded at A&M Studios in Hollywood, California and released in 1978. The album reached triple platinum and spun off four hit singles in 1978 and early 1979: the title song, "Can't Smile Without You", "Copacabana" and "Somewhere in the Night" (which had previously been a hit in 1976 for Helen Reddy).

"Barry Manilow" is the debut album by Barry Manilow, released initially in 1973 by Bell Records. The original release was unsuccessful, with only around 35,000 copies sold by 1975. After the success of Manilow's second album Barry Manilow II, the album was re-released as "Barry Manilow I" in 1975 by Arista that had taken over Bell Records. Four songs of the original album were reworked for this version, including "Could It Be Magic" which served as the single for the re-release. The re-released album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1976 for over half a million copies sold.

"Manilow" is the self-titled album released in 1985 by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. The album had little impact on the charts. The album features 1980s style rock n' roll/ synthesizers. He was lured away from Arista Records, but as cited by Manilow in an interview, the executives who brought him over were no longer there when the album was released. This may have led to poor record sales, as well as the album sound being primarily a modern uptempo and synthesized release sharply different from Manilow's renowned piano ballads.

"Barry" is the self-titled album released by singer and songwriter Barry Manilow in 1980. The album reached Platinum status. The tracks were recorded at Evergreen Recording Studios in Burbank, California. Manilow co-wrote with Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire the album track "Only in Chicago". "We Still Have Time" was taken from the film Tribute. The album scored one Top 10 pop hit, "I Made It Through the Rain", which reached #10, in late 1980. This album was released at a time when Manilow's success was having its greatest impact overseas, particularly in the UK.

"This One's For You" is the 4th studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow released in 1976. The album went 3x Platinum, and yielded the hits "This One's for You", "Weekend in New England", the #1 "Looks Like We Made It" and the original version of "Daybreak." The album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart on August 21, 1976, reaching #6 in 1977.

Modern technology has given Barry Manilow the opportunity to record his dream duets with his own musical heroes on this album. From cherished idols like Judy Garland and Louis Armstrong to contemporary icons like Whitney Houston and John Denver, they have all joined Manilow in his virtual recording studio.The original vocal tracks for each guest artist were extracted from their original source recordings, allowing Manilow to reorchestrate the arrangements, record new musical tracks and then transport the guest vocals into vibrant new settings. In this way, he not only pays tribute to his duet partners but he also brings them into the modern era.

I was honored when NIGHT SONGS was nominated for a Grammy Award. Making NIGHT SONGS II has been another rewarding experience for me.

[quoteHere Comes the Night is the twelfth album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. The album was recorded at Sound City Recording Studios in Van Nuys, California. The United Kingdom release went by the title "I Wanna Do It With You". It was released in 1982, and it scored single platinum. The album has yet to be released on CD in the US, but has had 2 CD releases in Japan: one was a 1987 incarnation that included a remix of "Oh Julie" (with added background vocals and additional instrumentation), and then in 1994, a new reissue came out in Japan that contained the original mix of "Oh Julie", as released in the US in 1982 on both EP and 45.]

"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.
