Album Notes Personnel include: Barry Manilow (vocals, piano); Ken Berry (guitar); Gary Grant (trumpet); Dave Carpenter (bass instrument); Russ McKinnon (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion); The Association. Recording information: Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California. A companion piece to the similarly self-explanatory GREATEST SONGS OF THE FIFTIES, GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES finds Barry Manilow tackling the pop songbook of the decade just prior to the one he helped define. Smartly relying on the Bacharach/David songbook, Manilow picked a solid set of familiar adult-contemporary tunes that fit his own increasingly jazzy and ballad-oriented style. Although a medley of the Association's big hits "Cherish" and "Windy" features the surviving members harmonizing behind Manilow's lead, it's an otherwise solo show, and Manilow is in fine voice throughout.
