Reviews:
''The Greatest Songs of the Seventies'' is Barry Manilow's follow up to his previous album, ''The Greatest Songs of the Sixties''. The album was released on September 18, 2007. Album producer Clive Davis said about Manilow: "No one can reinvent the great classics better than Barry Manilow. He breathes new life and vitality into these truly wonderful songs and they sound fresh and timeless. We continue on the mission to bring to a new generation the great songs of a different era." Davis has worked with Manilow since the 1970s and have been good friends. The album was released under Arista Records. It also features some of Manilow's hits in acoustic.
In the process of promoting the album Manilow canceled his September 18 appearance on ''The View'' because of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative views on abortion and the Iraq War.
''The Greatest Songs of the Seventies'' debuted at number four on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling about 113,000 copies in its first week. - Wikipedia
