Barry Manilow - He Doesn't Care But I Do

From the album Manilow (1985)

Manilow was the self-titled album released in 1985 by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. The album had little impact on the charts. The album features 1980s style rock n' roll with heavy synthesizers. He was lured away from Arista Records, but as cited by Manilow in an interview, the executives who brought him over were no longer there when the album was released. This may have led to poor record sales, as well as the album sound being primarily a modern uptempo and synthesized release sharply different from Manilow's renowned piano ballads.

The album was Manilow's first of four albums with RCA Records. The other releases with the company are an original soundtrack album of his 1985 CBS television movie Copacabana where he starred as Tony Starr with Annette O'Toole as Lola Lamarr. The other two RCA releases were foreign greatest hits albums that Manilow rerecorded some of the vocals of his hits in Spanish on Grandes Exitos En Espanol and in Portuguese on Especial. The idea RCA had was to make Manilow the next Julio Iglesias.

The hits from this album are: * I'm Your Man * Sweet Heaven (I'm In Love Again) from the television movie Copacabana * He Doesn't Care But I Do * In Search of Love

The album was a commercial success but is a relatively un-known release for several reasons: The hit songs made their impact on the Adult-Contemporary radio format, instead of the Pop Top-40. The other reason the Manilow album became a lost gem was due to the fact that it was released between two of his most critically acclaimed projects: 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe and Swing Street.

Actually, I think the real reason is this was Manilow's only album for RCA. He left Arista after a falling out with Clive Davis, and went to a new label. He hated the experience, and the people handling him. He went back to Arista in 1987 for Swing Street.

This song is R&B more like blue eyed soul and I know Barry's got it.
