??? 就銷(xiāo)售成績(jī)與歌唱生涯的長(zhǎng)度而言,Barry Manilow無(wú)疑是流行音樂(lè)史上最成功的抒情歌手之一。盡管他在事業(yè)顛峰時(shí)期也不曾受到樂(lè)評(píng)人青睞,但這位向來(lái)以歌藝與創(chuàng)作才華征服樂(lè)迷的抒情天王,在七○年代后半與八○年代初期仍舊創(chuàng)下五千八百萬(wàn)張的唱片銷(xiāo)售量,并接連炮制出25首前40名單曲,其中更有13首曾經(jīng)登上成人抒情榜的冠軍位置。八○年代后期,Manilow在褪去暢銷(xiāo)歌手的光環(huán)與壓力后,轉(zhuǎn)而詮釋起自己深?lèi)?ài)的爵士、搖擺、流行經(jīng)典與百老匯音樂(lè)劇.
  1976年至1980年,他以冠軍曲“I Write The Songs”、“Looks Like We Made It”和“This One's For You”、“Weekend In New England”、“Can't Smile Without You”、“Copacabana”、“Somewhere in the Night”、“Ships”、“I Made It Through the Rain”等單曲陸續(xù)攻陷排行前十名,1977年他甚至還在葛萊美獎(jiǎng)與全美音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)之外,贏得了首座電視艾美獎(jiǎng),足見(jiàn)他橫跨各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的杰出才華。
  相較于他的創(chuàng)作才華,他柔美的歌聲與爐火純青的唱腔卻更為樂(lè)迷們所肯定,因?yàn)轳雎?tīng)Barry Manilow的音樂(lè)就如同咀嚼美好的回憶,越是經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)間的沉淀,越能感受到他音樂(lè)中永恒的純真與浪漫。

Artist:Barry Manilow
Song:Can't Smile Without You

You know I can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

好聽(tīng)的音樂(lè),滬江與我一同去美國(guó)(*^__^*)

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song

And brightened my day
Who would believe that you're part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing

[Can't Smile Without You lyrics on

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
But I'm finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me, so you see

I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
