Baby Blue ~ BadFinger

Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there too long, my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think that I'd forget or I'd regret
The special love I had for you, my baby blue

All the days became so long
Did you really think, I'd do you wrong?
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you'd realize that I would know
I would show the special love I have for you, my baby blue

What can I do, what can I say
Except I want you by my side
How can I show you, show me the way
Don't you know the times I've tried?

Guess that's all I have to say
Except the feeling just grows stronger every day
Just one thing before I go
Take good care, baby, let me know, let it grow
The special love you have for me, my Dixie, dear.

Great videos & songs

Gonna share a few faves from the 80's that I don't think we've played yet.

I miss those carefree days as a kid, roller-skating to these tracks at "The Rink" in Bergenfield, NJ.

One of the very best from Barry Manilow.

Barry Manilow

Mandy

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Note that this is posted as a joke only. Frankly, I don't see why Manilow gets disrespected so often. Reminds me of the Bee Gees disco era and what happened to John Denver before he passed. It's good music, and the elitists know it.

But I thought you'd get a chuckle from this:

Noise violators in Fort Lupton sentenced to listen to Barry Manilow
Associated Press

Published November 22, 2008 at 4:19 p.m.
Updated November 22, 2008 at 4:19 p.m.

FORT LUPTON — Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs" may begin with the line, "I've been alive forever,'" but for noise ordinance violators, listening to Manilow may feel like forever.

Fort Lupton Municipal Judge Paul Sacco says his novel punishment of forcing noise violators to listen to music they don't like for one hour has cut down on the number of repeat offenders in this northwestern Colorado prairie town.

About four times a year, those guilty of noise ordinance violations are required to sit in a room and listen to music from the likes of Manilow, Barney the Dinosaur, and The Platters' crooning "Only You"

"These people should have to listen to music they don't like," said Judge Paul Sacco for a segment about the program that aired Friday on Denver's KUSA-TV.

So what does Sacco think of Barry Manilow?

"I actually don't think Manilow's too bad," he said.

My favorite Manilow song is "Could this be the Magic?"

Then you will be pleased to know that he has a new album coming out within the next week or so. "Barry Manilow Sings The Greatest Songs Of The 80's" or something like that. The track selection actually looks pretty good and includes a duet with Reba McEntire on "Islands In The Stream".

On a personal note, I met Barry Manilow in my store once. First, I couldn't believe how tall he was. I am 5'11", so am not short, but he was towering over me. I was quite surprised. I had just finished reading a wonderful book that in it's own strange way featured the music of Barry Manilow (the book is called "Tietam Brown" and I could not recommend it more highly. It's the only time I've read a book that caused me to both laugh, and cry while reading on the Subway). Anywho, I always leave celebrities alone, but on this occasion decided to let him know about this book and recommend it. His response was both sad, and telling. He was very polite, and when told his music was featured in the book, he simply asked: "am I going to hate it?".

Anyway, he bought the book and I hope it brought a smile to his face.

I remember the first time I listened to his live album, and being totally blown away........ man, he could tell a story with his music.

I believe that there is a chance, the greatest chance we could hope for, to change the course.... but it will require the participation of all the world.

...... and we must stand together.
