2	Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Foxtrots & Waltzes was designed to cash in on the swing and lounge revival of the '90s by offering a selection of foxtrots and waltzes, along with a choreography and beats-per-minute-guide, designed for hip young swingers. Despite a few selections that are a little too slick or schmaltzy, the music on the ... see all copies from $5.32! new only from $7.97!
3	Heart Beats: Now & Forever - Timeless Wedding Songs (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Heart Beats: Now & Forever -- Timeless Wedding Songs contains 16 songs, primarily soft rock and adult contemporary favorites, that are often heard at wedding receptions. Although there are a few questionable inclusions -- Gino Vannelli's "I Just Wanna Stop" seems like it wouldn't be often heard at weddings, and there are better choices from Chaka ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
4	Hey Ricky (1982) more music like this by Melissa Manchester Nearing the end of her troubled tenure at Arista, Melissa Manchester settled for cheesy but cheerful, synth-drenched dance-pop. Extraordinarily, it was this fluff that won her first Grammy, in the form of "You Should Hear How She Talks About You." But apart from a baffling re-recording of "Come in from the Rain," there are guilty pleasures to be ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.35!
5	Better Days & Happy Endings (1976) more music like this by Melissa Manchester Following the success of Melissa, and particularly its Top Ten single "Midnite Blue," Melissa Manchester reassembled the same team and attempted to replicate the formula. Primarily, that meant more intimate, lushly produced ballads with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, and these included "Better Days," essentially a "Midnite Blue" sequel that told ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $10.28!
6	Don't Cry Out Loud (1978) more music like this by Melissa Manchester The melodramatic, weepy title track of Don't Cry Out Loud was a much-needed hit at a time when Manchester's sales were in decline, but it's actually the weak link in an otherwise delightfully frothy set. "Shine Like You Should" opens the proceedings on an effervescent note, and the optimistic "it's all good" philosophy pervades the rest of the ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.28!
7	Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug & Jive (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Let's Dance: The Best of Ballroom Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug & Jive was designed to cash in on the swing and lounge revival of the '90s by offering a selection of uptempo swing and jump blues songs, along with a choreography and beats-per-minute guide, designed for hip young swingers who want to dance the Lindy, jitterbug, and jive. Despite a few ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $8.54!
8	Melissa (1975) more music like this by Melissa Manchester Fired by Columbia Records in 1973, Clive Davis took over tiny Bell Records in 1974 and turned it into Arista, determined to re-establish his record-selling credentials. One beneficiary of this was Melissa Manchester, who had made two good, but poor-selling albums for Bell. Davis turned on the money tap, and the result was this L.A.-recorded Vini ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.00!
9	The Essence of Melissa Manchester (1997) more music like this by Melissa Manchester The Essence of Melissa Manchester is a comprehensive overview of her decade's worth of recordings for Arista. During her stint at the label, she was at the peak of her popularity, racking up a string of adult contemporary hits including "Midnight Blue," "Just Too Many People," "Just You and I," "Don't Cry Out Loud," "Pretty Girls," the Peabo ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.80!

11 view cover	The Number Ones: Smooth Love (1998) more music like this by Various Artists In 1998 the Simitar label, a division of Warner Special Products, released several budget-priced discs featuring number one hits from the '60s, '70s and '80s, loosely based around such themes as Rock It Up, Lovin' Feelings and Party On. Each disc presents the original version of these popular singles on a 16-track CD. Number Ones: Smooth Love ... see all copies from $2.57! new only from $4.98!
12 view cover	Melissa Manchester (1979) more music like this by Melissa Manchester Melissa Manchester's creative contributions to her own records were on the wane, but here she managed to assert her identity by writing six of the ten tracks -- each one a good bit better than the lame ballad and disco fodder that made up the balance. "Whenever I Call You Friend," a hit the year before for Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins (the song ... see all copies from $5.36! new only from $39.15!

16 view cover	Home to Myself (1973) more music like this by Melissa Manchester "Now, I don't have the soul of Joni, and I cannot see myself like Miss Laura," sang Melissa Manchester on "Funny That Way," thus marking out the competition. Like Mitchell and Nyro, Manchester was a piano-playing female singer, but she was right in noting that while there was a surface similarity in their musical approaches, she did not dig quite ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.28!
17 view cover	Melissa Manchester [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Melissa Manchester By the fall of 1979, Melissa Manchester was arguably on a roll. Her career had just simmered along for a few years after her breakthrough Top Ten hit "Midnight Blue" in 1975. But in the summer of 1978, Kenny Loggins took "Whenever I Call You Friend," a song he had written with Manchester, into the Top Five. Then, in the fall, she released her ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $14.04!

19 view cover	Ladies of the 80's, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This budget-line series is a guilty pleasure that ranges from soft rock (Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning," Brenda Russell's "Piano in the Dark") to dance-club lite fare (Taylor Dayne's "Tell It to My Heart," Melissa Manchester's "You Should Hear How She Talks About You") to teen-idol hits (Tiffany's "All this Time," Debbie Gibson's "Shake ... see all copies from $2.97!
20 view cover	Bright Eyes (1974) more music like this by Melissa Manchester On her second album, Melissa Manchester remained largely under the influence of some immediate predecessors, though she was beginning to show evidence of an original talent. The impact of Laura Nyro still could be heard on songs like the title track and "O Heaven (How You've Changed to Me)," with their vibrant gospel tone. If Manchester seemed to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.35!
21 view cover	If My Heart Had Wings (1995) more music like this by Melissa Manchester Melissa Manchester's first album of new material in a decade was filled with big, dramatic ballads and widescreen production values. That was closer to what seemed a comfortable style for the singer than the dance-pop she had affected in the mid-1980s, but still did not return her to the creative promise she had shown in the mid-1970s. William ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.53!
22 view cover	Platinum & Gold Collection (2004) more music like this by Melissa Manchester During the '70s and well into the '80s, Melissa Manchester was a dominant force in the soft rock/adult contemporary domain, and BMG's Platinum & Gold Collection compiles all of these moments together in a brief, compact fashion on one disc. While it is by no means thorough in its scope in capturing Manchester's career, it focuses on the time ... see all copies from $16.99!

Really, the only things the featured songs have in common is their shared label and decade, but that turns out to be enough for an entertaining compilation. After all, it's hard to go wrong with a budget-line disc that contains "We ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
