Could It Be Magic


Under the melodrama of disco, the formerly ridiculous Barry Manilow song based on a Chopin melody becomes a masterpiece of excess, one of Donna's first shining moments on the dance floor.

Eric, You really don"t know what your talking about. Barry Manilow is an extermly talented song writter and arranger . He sings to sellout crowds everynight in Vegas. There is no other performer out there that could even come close to the wonderful talent Barry has. Whom I've loved for the past 34 years now . And still going. Linda from New York

Eric,

My man are you kidding me? First if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything and second while I will admit that Donna Summer had her 15 minutes of fame as Andy Whorhol said was due everyone but you need your ears cleaned out if you think that Barry Manilows masterpiece pales in comparison to anything Donna Summer put out in the Disco era ( long gone I might add.

Barry Manilow is still going strong to this day with #1 albums where I can't remember the last time I heard from Donna Summer.

Sorry Pal but you loose!

Although I always liked Donna Summer, she can't hold a candle to our Barry! He's the BEST. Sorry Donna, you lose!

Hi Eric,
Who are you trying to kid? Donna Summer...big in disco 1977-79 & with a decent career but Barry has been around for 33 years & is still going strong & had even a #1 CD last year. Barry has been songwriting, singing, performing, producing, arranging, & is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame...Ridiculous & Barry Manilow music are not synonomous such as you have stated. Have a Good Day!

Barry vs Donna Summer...are you kidding me??? NO CONTEST! Barry wins by a landslide.
- Suzanne, Corpus Christi, United States, 12.06.2007
Gee, and how long has Donna been hitting the charts? Is she even still ALIVE? Donna Summer lasted a 'season', while Barry has been making music magic, for himself and others (Bette Midler, Diane Schuur, Dave Koz, to name a few), for over thirty years!

Hi Eric, the words ridiculous and Barry is an oxy-moron they do not belong in the same sentence, whether formerly or not.
Barry is up there with the greatest artists of our time! Even though we are both from Canada, I can't let anyone say ridiculous when it comes to Barry Manilow.
