Title: Forgot how good Barry was
Product review: If you can forgive the corniness of the "Copa," and his formula ascending-key-change climaxes, Barry Manilow offers some truly wonderful songs with believable lyrics and rarely-matched sheer musical beauty. I would have preferred that they didn't include live versions (BM Live! covers those well enough), but then again he's such a raw talent that there's not much divergence from studio quality. He loses authenticity in the 80's recordings, but hard core fans will be glad those were included.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
