My third upload to YouTube, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed looking for it on CD for 41 years unsuccessfully... This song is from the BARRY MANILOW album (1973 version, aka "The White Album", re-released in 1975 as BARRY MANILOW I), but I guarantee most of you have never heard this. It has never been released on CD (twice), and contains an entirely different lead vocal, and an electric guitar track omitted from later releases. The piano intro and outros sound the same but I wasn't there, so I really can't swear to it. Despite the 2006 re-release of this album, along with original artwork, it was the 1975 version that was actually re-re-released, which is BARRY MANILOW I, re-released after "Mandy" became a hit. Some tracks were re-recorded for the 1975 re-release, including "Could It Be Magic", "Sweet Life", "Flashy Lady", "Oh My Lady", and "One Of These Days". I remastered all of these myself from original Bell vinyl, and will be posting more soon. If Sony/BMG desires to remove this from YouTube, please be my guest. However, being that Manilow fans out here have bought the BARRY MANILOW (I) album BOTH times it's been released on CD, could we *perhaps* release this album in its original version 41 years later?
