經(jīng)典回放：你是我的微笑 Can't Smile Without You
??? 就銷售成績與歌唱生涯的長度而言，Barry Manilow無疑是流行音樂史上最成功的抒情歌手之一。盡管他在事業(yè)顛峰時期也不曾受到樂評人青睞，但這位向來以歌藝與創(chuàng)作才華征服樂迷的抒情天王，在七○年代后半與八○年代初期仍舊創(chuàng)下五千八百萬張的唱片銷售量，并接連炮制出25首前40名單曲，其中更有13首曾經(jīng)登上成人抒情榜的冠軍位置。八○年代后期，Manilow在褪去暢銷歌手的光環(huán)與壓力后，轉(zhuǎn)而詮釋起自己深愛的爵士、搖擺、流行經(jīng)典與百老匯音樂劇.
1976年至1980年，他以冠軍曲“I Write The Songs”、“Looks Like We Made It”和“This One's For You”、“Weekend In New England”、“Can't Smile Without You”、“Copacabana”、“Somewhere in the Night”、“Ships”、“I Made It Through the Rain”等單曲陸續(xù)攻陷排行前十名，1977年他甚至還在葛萊美獎與全美音樂獎之外，贏得了首座電視艾美獎，足見他橫跨各個領(lǐng)域的杰出才華。
相較于他的創(chuàng)作才華，他柔美的歌聲與爐火純青的唱腔卻更為樂迷們所肯定，因為聆聽Barry Manilow的音樂就如同咀嚼美好的回憶，越是經(jīng)過時間的沉淀，越能感受到他音樂中永恒的純真與浪漫。

Song:Can't Smile Without You
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would believe that you're part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
[Can't Smile Without You lyrics on
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
Some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
But I'm finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me, so you see
I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
