Description:

THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES follows logically behind Barry Manilow`s three previous albums exploring the 1950s, `60s and `70s. As one might expect from Manilow`s own work, his favorite songs of the 1980s tend towards adult contemporary ballads such as Cyndi Lauper`s "Time After Time," Journey`s "Open Arms," and Chicago`s "Hard To Say I`m Sorry," but there are some more unexpected choices as well. A duet with Reba McEntire on Barry Gibb`s 1983 hit for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, "Islands in the Stream," is a lighthearted start to the album, and a tongue-in-cheek cover of Rick Astley`s 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" suggests that Manilow is familiar with the circa-2008 internet meme of "Rickrolling," or tricking online friends into watching the video of what had been a nearly-forgotten pop hit.
