Barry Manilow - The Greatest Songs of the Seventies (deluxe edition)

Wonderful music

I am a child of the seventy's and I highly recommend this CD. Wonderfully done by Barry. September 16, 2008

Give me a Kleenex!

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! March 1, 2008

Barry is "Magical"!!!!!

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 November 9, 2007

Where is Barry's cover of of Neil Sedaka's Solitaire?????????????

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. October 27, 2007

Barry's songs of the 70's

I wasn't sure if Mr. Manilow was going to do what I personally was hoping he'd do, and I wasn't let down; re-doing his own material. I was very pleased to hear his take on my favorites from the 70's but to re-do his own material acoustic style to give them a new sound was surprisingly amazing!!! I was and am still compeletely thrilled with this set!! I actually have not been able to stop listening to it since its arrival. I listen to it at least 2-3 times a day!!! I ordered the deluxe edition because I wanted as many of Barry's own songs done acoustic style as possible and in my own honest opinion, it was money damn well spent!!!! October 24, 2007
