1987 Barry Manilow – Swing Street
Swing Street is the twelfth studio album by composer and singer Barry Manilow, released in 1987. Three of the tracks on the album featured Manilow in a duet with another singer. The tracks were recorded at various locations. This album marks Manilow’s return to the Arista Records label from RCA Records, where he had two releases from 1985 to 1986 including Manilow and the soundtrack for the musical film Copacabana. The title of the album refers to 52nd Street in Manhattan, between 5th and 6th Avenues, which was the jazz mecca during the late 1930s and early 1940s.
