{"product_id":"melissa-manchester-live-77","title":"Melissa Manchester- Live '77 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e977 was a whirlwind year for Melissa Manchester. The singer-songwriter toured North America's arenas and amphitheaters that summer with Leo Sayer before launching a fall solo tour that attracted the attention of none other than Bob Dylan, who attended the Minneapolis date. Melissa played Carnegie Hall, appeared on network television specials, taped a memorable commercial with Ella Fitzgerald, and released her sixth album, Singin'. But that wasn't all. On October 30, 1977 at Gainesville, Florida's Great Southern Music Hall, Melissa recorded her first live album. The electrifying double record captured her in front of an appreciative college audience, leading a smoking-hot, seven-piece band of rock, R\u0026amp;B, and jazz veterans including two KISS collaborators'saxophonist\/keyboardist Tom Saviano (Dolly Parton, Earth Wind \u0026amp; Fire) and bassist Bill Bodine (Van Morrison, Cher)'plus drummer Art Rodriguez (Rickie Lee Jones, Manhattan Transfer) and Melissa's discovery Lenny Castro, now one of the most-recorded percussionists of all time. Yet Arista Records shockingly consigned the album to the shelf, where it's remained unheard'until now. Melissa Manchester's Live '77 makes it's long-overdue debut from Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records as a deluxe 2-CD set. It's 21 songs'joyful, sensual, romantic, optimistic, soulful, spellbinding, and ultimately empowering'spoke directly to the thoughts and emotions of the young audience and have proven timeless over the ensuing decades. These include her hits 'Midnight Blue, ' 'Better Days, ' and the song Bob Dylan admired, 'Just You and I, ' as well as the now-standard 'Come in from the Rain, ' fan favorites 'We've Got Time, ' 'Happy Endings, ' and 'Caravan, ' and spirited covers of such beloved tunes as 'I Wanna Be Where You Are, ' 'Rescue Me, ' and 'Monkey See, Monkey Do.' Live '77 also premieres Melissa's only recording anywhere of the blues classic 'Hi-Heel Sneakers.' This landmark release has been mastered from the original tapes by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, and boasts a deluxe booklet with rare photos and new liner notes by Joe Marchese based on a fresh interview with the artist and including exclusive quotes from the legendary Clive Davis. Appropriately, Melissa closed this concert of pop, rock, and soul sounds with 'No One's Ever Seen This Side of Me.' Now, in time for it's 45th anniversary, you too can finally hear this thrilling side of Melissa Manchester.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Me Serenade You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParty Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Endings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Lady's Not Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe've Got Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood News\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wanna Be Where You Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonkey See, Monkey Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRescue Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Heel Sneakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Happy Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Days\/Come In from the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO Heaven (How You've Changed Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Love of Your Own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf It Feels Good (Let It Ride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust You and I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One's Ever Seen This Side of Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 848064013617\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Real Gone Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541353939165,"sku":"848064013617","price":478.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4064429-2829403.jpg?v=1772599877","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/es-mx\/products\/melissa-manchester-live-77","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
