Title: MELISSA AT HER FINEST
Review: BETTER DAYS is not only Melissa's best album but one of the seventies highlights. Filled with ten remarkable songs, this collection exemplifies pop excellence at its best. Along with co-writer Carole Bayer Sager, Manchester delivers really great music. There's not a weak track on this album!The beautiful BETTER DAYS is simply a perfect love song of hope and satisfaction; her rendering of the now classic COME IN FROM THE RAIN is the definitive version; GOOD NEWS is a stunning treatise on womanhood; the infectious bossa nova feel of STAND UP WOMAN; the emotionally-charged JUST YOU AND I; the buoyant energy of HAPPY ENDINGS and SING SING SING; the bluesy YOU CAN MAKE IT ALL COME TRUE; and her rocking cover of Fontella Bass' RESCUE ME.Backed with great musicians and lush orchestral arrangements, this is a great addition to good music-lover's library.
