- 專輯介紹
- 就銷售成績與歌唱生涯的長度而言,Barry Manilow無疑是流行音樂史上最成功的抒情歌手之一。儘管他在事業顛峰時期也不曾受到樂評人青睞,但這位向來以歌藝與創作才華征服樂迷的抒情天王,在七○年代後半與八○年代初期仍舊創下五千八百萬張的唱片銷售量,並接連炮製出25首前40名單曲,其中更有13首曾經登上成人抒情榜的冠軍位置。八○年代後期,Manilow在褪去暢銷歌手的光環與壓力後,轉而詮釋起自己深愛的爵士、搖擺、流行經典與百老匯音樂劇,並持續推出作品至今,然而他受歡迎的程度似乎不曾稍減,因為2002年春推出的精選大碟《Ultimate Manilow》,進榜首周即直衝告示牌排行季軍位置,甚至還稱霸網路銷售排行冠軍,教人不得不讚歎這位樂壇常青樹歷久彌新的聲音魅力。
Barry Manilow1943年生於紐約布魯克林,自幼即嫻熟鋼琴與手風琴。半工半讀完成茱莉亞音樂學院的學業後,他成為CBS電視台「Callback」節目的音樂總監,並活躍於廣告配樂界。1971年他成為貝蒂米勒音樂生涯初期的專屬鋼琴手、編曲者與音樂總監。1973年他發表了首張個人同名專輯,但銷售成績差強人意。1974年他加盟Arista唱片,在總裁克裡夫戴維斯的運籌維幄下,隔年以一曲獻給初戀女友的「Mandy」拿下排行冠軍,隨後推出的百老匯風味單曲「It's A Miracle」與改編自蕭邦作品的抒情曲「Could It Be Magic」也相繼進佔排行前二十名,而後者在接招合唱團的翻唱之下還曾登上英國榜第三名。1976年至1980年,他以冠軍曲「I Write The Songs」、「Looks Like We Made It」和「This One's For You」、「Weekend In New England」、「Can't Smile Without You」、「Copacabana」、「Somewhere in the Night」、「Ships」、「I Made It Through the Rain」等單曲陸續攻陷排行前十名,1977年他甚至還在葛萊美獎與全美音樂獎之外,贏得了首座電視艾美獎,足見他橫跨各個領域的傑出才華。
去年,他結束了與Arista唱片多年來的合作關係,並加盟爵士廠牌Concord以便專注於灌唱自己熱愛的爵士作品,而收錄了19首排行抒情佳作的《Ultimate Manilow》,正是一張里程碑式的紀念精選輯。02六月份,Manilow即將與Sting、Michael Jackson等歌手共同列名今年的「音樂創作名人堂」,然而相較於他的創作才華,他柔美的歌聲與爐火純青的唱腔卻更為樂迷們所肯定,因為聆聽Barry Manilow的音樂就如同咀嚼美好的回憶,越是經過時間的沈澱,越能感受到他音樂中永恆的純真與浪漫。
1.Love Is Here to Stay
(修改) It's very clear, our love is here to stay Not for a year but ever and a day The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay Together we're going a long, long way In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble They're only made of clay but our love is here Our love is here To stay

3.Where Do I Begin (Theme from Love Story)
(修改) Where do I begin to tell the story Of how great a love can be The sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start With her first hello She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine They'll never be another love another time She came into my life and made the living fine

How long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers now But this much I can say I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away And she'll be there

7.We've Only Just Begun
(修改) We've only just begun to live, White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run. And yes, We've just begun.
Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day Together.
