From Amazon.com:
You don't normally think stress when you think Barry Manilow, in fact you think just the opposite, but the mellow-voiced master had to be feeling a little when he hit the studio to record this, the latest installment in his decade-by-decade dissection of songs that still cause heart-skips. The '70s, after all, launched Manilow's star; "Mandy" and "Copacabana" might seem light years apart, but a single decade contained them. So it is that fans will pick up this set up with some serious expectations--Manilow, if anybody, should be teaching the master class on this music. That he does: Instead of trying to reinvent his own hits and those of others who managed to wring true feelings out of a decade dominated by disco, he embraces them as they were; leadoff track "The Way We Were" works on a lot of levels. "My Eyes Adored You" and the Carpenters' classic "(They Long to be) Close to You" hew close enough to Manilow's melancholy sensibility to seem authentically his, and so do most of the other selections--Lennon and McCartney's "The Long and Winding Road" is about as far from soft-favorites radio as it gets, which is to say not far at all. It takes 12 tracks to get to Manilow's own material (and 18 to arrive at the song that makes the whole world sing), but by the time you get there you realize you wouldn't have minded more waiting--where's the James Taylor cover? What about a Joni Mitchell? Here's hoping a set of '80s re-dos?look out, Toto and Bonnie Tyler--is not far behind. --Tammy La Gorce

Nice album but.... -  |
The Greatest Songs of the Seventies Review |
|
I watched the DVD of the PBS special featuring these songs on my computer and the show sounded lush and full. It was videotaped outside with an orchestra and some back up singers, all excellent! So I decided to get the album. Something is not right about the CD to my ears. I bought a brand new legit copy from the store and played it through my computer with the same settings as I played the DVD. Obviously, the album was recorded before the DVD and in a studio. Yet, it sounds strangely thin as though they turned down everything but Barry's voice. As much as I enjoy his performances, it is not his voice that is the main draw but his compositions, arrangements, orchestra and personality that I delight in. Well, I toyed with my computer's sound settings to no avail and then tried playing the album on my CD player in my den. Hmmm...it still sounds like a much smaller orchestra than was used on the DVD and the back up singers are hard to make out. Maybe the budget for orchestra was smaller on the CD. I understand they probably used different producers and technical people for the DVD and the CD but I feel the DVD sounds quite a bit better than his album. Perhaps, they just wanted Barry to be all you heard. Overall, though, a nice album but I wouldn't have bought it if I had known what I do now. |

The Greatest Songs of the Seventies Review |
|
So, I'm minding my own business, listening to this CD and then "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" comes on. Barry's rendition is so touching that I cry every time I hear it. This is an amazing collection and Barry does every song justice - well, except maybe the Way We Were - but no one but Barbra can do that song! If you're a Barry fan, enjoy this for what it is: this beloved singer performing some terrific songs! |

Barry is "Magical"!!!!! - |
The Greatest Songs of the Seventies Review |
|
needless to say i ma a Barry manilow die-hard fan...but i can be very objective...this is a collection of "Gems" in the unique style that Barry has. most of the hits of the 70,s were written by him and /or performed by him....the bonus acoustic CD with his new rendition of "could it be magic" is really something else...enjoy the one in only Barry manilow in this wonderful CD |

Where is Barry's cover of of Neil Sedaka's Solitaire????????????? - |
The Greatest Songs of the Seventies Review |
|
I was fortunate enough to see the wonderful tribute to Neil Sedaka at the Lincoln Center last night. Barry did a video feed into the venue...and said great things about Neil. He also mentioned this 70's cover album and that he sang Solitaire on it. I have looked everywhere and can't find it. I would have bought this CD for Solitaire, but, now I may just download a few songs. For someone Barry's age, he is still an amazing entertainer (as is Neil Sedaka). If anyone knows where I could find Barry's version of Solitaire, I would love to know. Amazon usually has everything I am looking for. |
