Thanks to demand from fans and the Thanksgiving holiday, Barry Manilow’s new album ‘Greatest Songs of the Eighties’ has gotten bumped up to a Nov. 24th release.
The album features the Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning Arista recording artist Manilow putting his own spin on some of the biggest hits from the 1980s – including “Islands in the Stream” (duet with Reba McEntire), “Never Gonna Give You Up,” “Careless Whisper,” “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” “Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do),” “Time After Time,” “I've Had the Time of My Life,” and “Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now).”
The album is Manilow’s latest addition to the mega-best-selling series of tribute albums that he masterminded with Arista founder Clive Davis. Davis has been Manilow’s hitmaking collaborator on virtually all his recordings, since they first worked together on “Mandy” - his debut #1 single as the first artist signed to Arista by Davis in 1974, the first year of the label’s existence.
The tribute album series began nearly nearly three years ago with ‘The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties.’
‘Greatest Songs of the Eighties’ track listing includes:
“Islands in the Stream” duet with Reba McEntire
