The Greatest Songs of the 80s


Rating:★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Pop
Artist:Barry Manilow
I have heard and enjoyed the previous "greatest" series of Barry Manilow, and this one is no exception. Although I am not that ecstatic like in the first three "greatest" albums, I like the fact that Manilow took a chance in reinterpreting the songs popularized by the artists of the 80s (Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Rick Astley, etc.). What makes this one a novel concept is the fact that it answers the question, "What if Barry Manilow sang _________________ (title of song here)?" And yes, you get a Manilowed version which is quite a delight to hear. Just one gripe: I didn't like his take on I Just Called To Say I Love You... but then, it's still refreshing to hear his version. If you're a Manilow fan, but this one to complete your "greatest songs" collection.
