Thank God we have Barry to ensure that these immortal voices will live on!
I'm sure no one would ever again listen to Judy Garland, Dusty or Louis Armstrong without Barry's efforts.
Does Clive Davis have a hand in this?

Yeah, it's got to be at least two days since I listened to any Louis Armstrong.

i couldn't have said it any better.

i quite liked his "here at the mayflower" collection and thought it was worthwhile.
this release would seem to be the worst of the rest of his 'covers' recordings.

Oh my-that cover and the concept might be the worst thing in musical history-love it!

I think Barry qualifies as dead after all those face lifts, and he looks deceased on the cover.

No doubt he was inspired by Freddie Gage.

I think we need another acronym for these type of albums.

DWTD

Duets With The Dead.

If Clive Davis isn't behind this, he's probably kicking himself for not being behind it.

This might imply that someone is singing along with Jerry, Bob, Phil and company. :)

I think it would be GREAT name for a punk band: "The Dead Guests"!

(For those who remember the Regan years, a drummer I worked with wanted to name 1 band "Nancy's China" but we voted him down) (-:

The album ideas are getting worse...the album covers are looking cheaper and cheaper...time to pack it in, Barry. I was excited when I heard he was finally working on a sequel to 2AM Paradise Cafe (his best album, IMO), and when that turned out to be Night Songs - with NO JAZZ BACKING AT ALL - that ended my "Fanilow-ship".

In keeping with the theme, I see he has contracted with a mortician to do his makeup. And you have to admit there couldn’t be a better release date for this than the Tuesday prior to Halloween/Day of the Dead.

Only thing good at all i have to say about BM is he made a lot of money for one of my musical heroes, Ian Hunter.

This just came to me and I know it's lame, but was this recorded by...

Bury Manilow?

(Sorry, it had to be said).
