Barry Manilow (1989 album)

Barry Manilow is a self-titled album released by singer and songwriter Barry Manilow. The album was released in 1989. This album also represented a hint of future album releases, many of the songs were not written/co-written by Manilow, which had until that point been rare. Manilow, known for being a composer, typically always stocked his albums with material he co-wrote with his lyricists. After the release of this album he embarked on introducing contemporary audiences to pop music of the 1930s through the late 1940s.
