THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES follows logically behind Barry Manilow's three previous albums exploring the 1950s, '60s and '70s. As one might expect from Manilow's own work, his favorite songs of the 1980s tend towards adult contemporary ballads such as Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," Journey's "Open Arms," and Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," but there are some more unexpected choices as well. A duet with Reba McEntire on Barry Gibb's 1983 hit for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, "Islands in the Stream," is a lighthearted start to the album, and a tongue-in-cheek cover of Rick Astley's 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" suggests that Manilow is familiar with the circa-2008 internet meme of "Rickrolling," or tricking online friends into watching the video of what had been a nearly-forgotten pop hit.

商品の紹介

Barry Manilow's Greatest Songs series enters its fourth decade with no reason to quit, not when the 1980s produced cartloads of adult contemporary nuggets and certainly not when the first three volumes performed so well on the charts. As on previous editions, Manilow and co-producer Clive Davis display a sure hand in their song selection. Virtually all of these are ballads originally performed by Manilow contemporaries or inheritors, artists such as Phil Collins ("Against All Odds"), Christopher Cross ("Arthur's Theme"), Bill Medley ("I've Had the Time of My Life"), Cyndi Lauper ("Time After Time"), Journey ("Open Arms"), Richard Marx ("Right Here Waiting"), and Wham! ("Careless Whisper"). The songs will all be familiar to anyone who lived through the '80s and Manilow sings the songs straight, wringing maximum emotion out of each with the warmth and character of his strong voice. Granted, there's precious little room here for new musical interpretations, barring only a light Brazilian vibe for Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You." The biggest surprise on The Greatest Songs of the Eighties is a cover of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," a large hit in England and America, but one that retained its popularity in the 2000s when the "rickrolling" prank phenomenon gave it more YouTube popularity than a thousand Richard Marxes. Still, there's no trace of irony in Manilow's version; like all the other songs here, he brings little more to it than what the song originally possessed. One of the intriguing characteristics of earlier volumes in the Greatest Songs series was discovering how Manilow and his co-arrangers would treat their updates of classic songs; here there's virtually no difference between Barry Manilow's covers and the sound of the originals. ~ John Bush
