Barry Manilow has taken a lot of abuse from critics. It couldn't have been all about his music. He had some really good pop records. I'd take the worst of Manilow over the best of any of the current pop singers. Maybe it was the album cover for his original 1978 Greatest Hits album that caused some of the abuse. That photo was probably the result of someone in the publicity department at Arista Records who had it out for Mr. Manilow. Fortunately, the 2002 Ultimate Manilow has a nice tasteful cover. Now on to 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe: This album is one of the finest jazz albums from anybody -- period. Barry Manilow displayed tremendous courage in leaving behind his cash cow and doing a bonafide jazz album. Even more courageous was setting some previously unscored lyrics by the late, great Johnny Mercer to music. He was personally entrusted by Mercer's widow with a cache of previously unissued lyrics. His first recorded result of this "collaboration" is the gorgeous "When October Goes". The most amazing aspect is that Mr. Manilow wrote all the songs and got some of the greatest jazz veterans (Shelly Manne, Gerry Mulligan, Mundell Lowe, etc.) to be his band. Another amazing feat is that this album was recorded live. If you like cool jazz, this one's for you. If you don't think you like Barry Manilow, open your mind and listen. This is a classic.
