Title: Manilow, Fifties and Sixties
Product review: Folks - I am a long-standing Manilow fan in an environment where it is not always considered PC to be in that Category. I think his "Paradise Café" album is one of the all-time greats. But these two are rubbish.The voice has gone - it even SOUNDS 60+. The selection is great, and so lulls one into the notion that BM plus whatever just has to be good.That used to be the case. I think BM's rendition of "Come Fly/Dance With Me" (on the Sinatra abum) is at least as good as the originals as well as being more innovative. But I hafta say that every one of the tracks on these two albums is inferior to the originals. I am not alone in this opinion - everyone to whom I have spoken has expressed disappointment in the discs and is looking to sell them off as rapidly as possible before the news gets around that Manilow has bombed.
