REISSUE: "New York City Rhythm" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Barry Manilow





REISSUE: "New York City Rhythm" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow brought the 70s a wonderful collection of pop ballads in a style all of his own. He is truly one of the talents who made love songs feel even warmer.

His memorable disco era hit "Copacabana (At The Copa)" is one of the pop-dance tracks which made disco music alluring for many artists to dabble themselves. His double album "Barry Manilow LIVE" from 1977 featured "New York City Rhythm" which gave the city another meaning for the excitement and diversity of such a city.

I have taken the LP version and ReStructured the song with a few new angles - extending the Latin breaks and accentuating some of the wonderful lyrics for a deeper listening and dance experience. It is an uplifting Broadway-meets-discotheque sound.

Thanks to Paul C. for requesting this little gem. I appreciate the love you have for your city. I can feel it again, in this song.
