Legendary Singer/Songwriter Melissa Manchester Celebrates 50 Years with New Album

Legendary singer/songwriter Manchester is celebrating her fifty-year career with a new album RE:View.
Following her stint as a founding member of Bette Midler’s Harlettes, Melissa’s tremendously successful solo career brought her critical and commercial acclaim, garnering her nineteen Billboard charted hits.
She’s known for “Midnight Blue”, but she received her first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Female Vocal Performance in 1979 for the Peter Allen/Carole Bayer Sager-penned “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” She went on to win the Grammy in that category four years later for the disco hit “You Should Hear How She Talks About You.”
Melissa has had her songs recorded by Barbra Streisand, Roberta Flack, Alison Krauss, Kenny Loggins and many others. In 1980, she made history, by being the first artist EVER to have TWO Academy Award nominated songs in a single year, “Through The Eyes Of Love (from Ice Castles)” and “I’ll Never Say Goodbye (from The Promise), and she was the first to perform both songs in the same Oscar telecast.
Her charge into film continued with music for several other films including The Great Mouse Detective, Lady and the Tramp II, Dirty Girl, and Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls.
In 2023, Melissa embraces her multi-faceted five-decade career with the release of her 25th album, RE:VIEW, a collection of her classic hits, revisited and reimagined.

Saw her at a small church in Boston in 1975, and all these years later, I'm still a fan.

I've been a huge fan of this very talented woman since Midnight Blue. The duet version with Dolly is wonderful
