Singin' with the Big Bands album Product Description
Singin' with the Big Bands album by Barry Manilow was released Oct 11, 1994 on the BMG label. The rock and roll era of the 1950s and early '60s was largely a transitional period between one style of R&B and another. Singin' with the Big Bands music CDs There was the combo style that evolved into modern rock and pop, as well as the mix of pop, blues and big band sounds dating from the swing era onward, which produced the hybrid sounds of early rock 'n' roll. Singin' with the Big Bands songs If you examine the pedigree of most '50s rock and roll session men, they were jazz veterans of dance happy big bands. It is this milieu which preceded Barry Manilow's formative years as fledgling songwriter, and it is here he turns for inspiration on SINGIN' WITH THE BIG BANDS. Manilow transports himself back to the Brooklyn Paramount in 1943 on the title tune, and subsequently takes the subway into the latter with a lift from the venerable Rosemary Clooney. Unlike his sister of swing, Linda Ronstadt (who made an excursion into the genre through the midwifery of Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra's arranger, Nelson Riddle), Manilow recreates the ambience of the original orchestras with, in many cases, the actual orchestras, as presently constituted (minus their departed leaders and most original soloists). ...See Full Description

| Entertaining This was a copy I've purchased for a friend. I'm not really a Manilow fan. However this CD is well recorded, the song selections are terrific and Manilows voice just goes so great with that big band sound. I've had this CD for about a year and I definitly recomend it. By a reviewer (Auburn,NY USA)  This review is for a different format. |
