Barry Manilow was on A&E LIVE BY REQUEST last night, and it was good. But it was neat! Would have been cool if they had RC do one of those. And him singing "LIVE" to KC's video performance...would it be out of this world. As well as singing with some great female performers, Shania Twain, Sandi Patty, Olivia Newton-John, Dionne Warwicke would be awesome!! And the tributes to Karen would be awesome too.
My thoughts,
Cam
PS. I am in a Christmasy mood, as we are decorating my MOM's house...and she has TONS of Christmas decorations. So we are listening to Engelbert(another C's connection), Boney M(don't know if there is a C's connection)...and later on, the CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT will be on) if I have anything to say about it...tee hee hee

That would be great to see Richard do a live by request with him performing to Karen on video. It could certainly could be done, I would watch such a performance and even buy a DVD if it were made available.

Oh gee, I wanted to see that special with Barry, and then forgot all about it. Maybe they'll show it again soon.
He is just great no matter what.
And what a very unique idea about R. doing a tribute like that!

On the re-release of Barry's CD, "Even Now," he has liner notes about beautiful Karen Carpenter stopping by the studio while he was recording. She really liked his song, "Can't Smile without You." I don't know if this was before or after the Carpenters had recorded it, but I sure would have liked to have been in that studio with both of them!

Manilow recorded "Can't Smile..." a year after The Carpenters did, same with "Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again" - the C's did it first - but there's wasn't released until 1995. Back in the 70's The C's were so popular that songwriters usually submitted their songs to them before anybody alse.

I owned the double album of Barry's hits collection in the seventies. They were really great ( the album and Barry). |

I missed the special, hopefully they will replay it. I was a big Barry Manilow fan in the 70's.
