This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. A significant album for Barry Manilow, THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE FIFTIES finds the Brooklyn-born crooner taking on tunes that were popular in his ... Full Descriptionyouth. This 2006 outing also marks Manilow's return to his former label, Arista, with the company's founder, Clive Davis, setting the singer up with 1950s pop classics much in the way that the savvy businessman steered Rod Stewart in the direction of jazzy standards.
The result is a light, breezy affair that showcases Manilow's easy-going charm, as revealed on his gentle versions of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" and the Everly Brothers' "All I Have to Do Is Dream." Wisely avoiding over-the-top arrangements, this record presents a lush, restrained sound that allows Manilow's velvety voice to shine, making it one of the performer's finest studio albums in decades.
This dualdisc not only marks Manilow's return to the Arista Records label after 5 years, but also marks a reunion with Clive Davis, Arista founder and BMG U.S. Chairman & CEO. Highlighted by a guest appearance from Phyllis McGuire of the McGuire Sisters on a medley of 1954 hits, this dualdisc is a veritable jukebox of favorites of the era. The CD side contains the complete album.

$10.69 Recorded between 1973 and 1984. Includes liner notes by David Wild.
Barry Manilow's commercial heyday may have been confined from the mid-'70s to early '80s, but the true testament to his unflagging popularity is the fact that this 2002 compilation debuted in the Top 5 of Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. This 20-pack of classic pop features all of the Brooklyn native's big hits starting with the 1974 chart-topper "Mandy" right through to 1982's "Somewhere Down The Road". Anyone who remotely remembers the '70s will feel like they've stepped into a time machine when they hear radio staples like "It's A Miracle", "Looks Like We Made It", "Can't Smile Without You" and "Copacabana (At The Copa)".

| Carly Simon Moonlight Serenade CD (2005) DualDisc
Greatest Songs Of The Fifties CD music
$16.39 This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Since 1981's TORCH, Carly Simon has recorded three more collections of pre-rock standards. 2005's MOONLIGHT SERENADE is the best of the lot, and one of the best albums of standards yet recorded by a singer of Simon's generation. It beats the pants off of similar sets by Linda Ronstadt and Rod Stewart, for example. For one thing, Simon is simply a great singer, even at this late stage in her career; she's taken care of her instrument, and her tone throughout MOONLIGHT SERENADE is superb, as is her increasingly jazzy and unconventional phrasing. (Listen to her subtle but effective vibrato on "All The Things You Are," for starters.) More importantly, Simon chooses songs to suit her voice, not her audience's expectations, which means that along withsuch familiar tunes as "I Only Have Eyes For You," listeners are treated to readings of relative obscurities like "My One and Only Love" instead of the umpteenth rendition of "Stardust."
This dualdisc reunites Carly with legendary performer Richard Perry. The release showcases Carly's dusky and sensual vocal stylings on 11 romantic standards penned by some of the world's greatest songwriters in Glenn Miller, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, JErome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein II, George & ...

Greatest Songs Of The Fifties music CDs
$9.25 For his third album, coming in the wake of massive success via MANILOW II's "Mandy," Manilow pulled in the reins a bit by working with his regular live band instead of anonymous studio cats. The result was a somewhat more individualistic sound that was still close enough to the radio-ready soft pop of MANILOW II to make for plenty of chart fodder. The title cut is a mid-tempo number that finds our boy longing ...
