It set the stage for her to become the first artist ever to have two Oscar\u00ae-nominated songs in a single year, and to perform them both on the 1980 Academy Awards telecast.<\/p>\n<p>The GRAMMY\u00ae Award-winning singer\/songwriter recalls, \u201cYears ago, I had become friends with the late Marvin Hamlisch through my writing partner, Carole Bayer Sager. In that moment, they were writing the song for the upcoming film Ice Castles. That song turned out to be their lovely \u2018Through The Eyes Of Love.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peaking at #13 on the 1979 Billboard\u00ae Adult Contemporary charts, the theme song drew its foundation from the figure skating landscape of its movie. \u201cMarvin told me that the opening melody was inspired by the image of the leading character, a skater, practicing her figure eights,\u201d explains Manchester. \u201c\u2019Round and round she\u2019d go,\u2019 he told me, \u2018and the notes started to reflect her movements.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love\u201d is the latest single from Manchester\u2019s forthcoming album, RE:VIEW, her 25th, a collection of several of her nineteen Billboard\u00ae charted hits, re-envisioned and re-recorded. The album has been slow-released, song by song, periodically throughout the pandemic, with a full album release (including a bonus track) slated for April 2023, in celebration of Manchester\u2019s 50-year career. Some of RE:VIEW\u2019s tracks, like \u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love,\u201d remain mainly true to the original recording while others are substantially re-imagined.<\/p>\n<p>The idea for Manchester\u2019s album project was born in 2019. \u201cThe whole point of RE:VIEW is that, in these times, as with many of my colleagues, the original record company owns all of my masters,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe only way I can empower myself and own my masters is to re-record these old songs &#8211; with a little bit of a tweak, just to make it interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love\u201d was largely recorded with the aid of audio engineer Tim Jaquette in the world class studios at Citrus College, the Glendora, CA facility where Manchester is Artist In Residence. When the COVID pandemic hit and a full campus lockdown was mandated, Manchester realized that she had this track and most of the her RE:VIEW album \u201cin the can\u201d \u2013 already recorded but not fully finished and mixed during the previous several months. She decided to complete the collection remotely, with the aid of audio engineer Ebiut Cervantes and mastering guru Bernie Grundman, and utilizing an unconventional song-by-song album rollout. Even as live performance venues were shuttered, the new single \u201cJust You And I\u201d was released, followed by Manchester\u2019s blockbusters \u201cMidnight Blue,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Cry Out Loud,\u201d the GRAMMY\u00ae Award-winning \u201cYou Should Hear How She Talks About You\u201d and fan favorite \u201cFire In The Morning,\u201d each with its own corresponding music video.<\/p>\n<p>For the \u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love\u201d music video, Manchester \u201cwanted to share with my fans some of the dear people, my \u2018Beloveds,\u2019 who have enriched my life\u2019s journey.\u201d She adds, \u201cI wanted to convey, as well, that the message of this song still stands true and timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second of Manchester\u2019s Oscar\u00ae-nominated songs in the 1980 Academy Awards broadcast was the David Shire\/Alan Bergman\/Marilyn Bergman ballad \u201cI\u2019ll Never Say Goodbye,\u201d a favorite in Asia, but it was largely eclipsed in the U.S. by the popularity of the Ice Castles feature film and its theme, \u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love,\u201d which became the wedding song to thousands of couples.<\/p>\n<p>In additional to appearing in concerts worldwide over the last five decades, Manchester has starred in the national tours of Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s Music Of The Night and Song And Dance, and she has penned the musicals I Sent A Letter To My Love and Sweet Potato Queens. On screen, Manchester created the role of Maddie Russo, the title character\u2019s mother in the hit TV series Blossom. She has also received the prestigious Governor\u2019s Award from NARAS and she was recently inducted into the Great American Songbook Foundation\u2019s Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>Since Thanksgiving is Manchester\u2019s favorite holiday, it seemed fitting to release the latest song from the RE:VIEW project, both the digital audio single and its music video, during this season of gratitude. After all, as Manchester puts it, \u201cI shall forever be grateful to Carole and Marvin for the gift of \u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough The Eyes Of Love\u201d is available now:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>SoundCloud <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/melissamanchester\/through-the-eyes-of-love-single-releasing-18-nov-2022\/s-vkrQynqSKhu?si=a131c82293c54e88aba746db4a2dbe9c&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=870SMHm26iA\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>iTunes <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/album\/1654441198?app=itunes&amp;ls=1\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Apple Music <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/album\/id\/1654441198\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Amazon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/music\/player\/albums\/B0BMDXKKGW?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;musicTerritory=US&amp;trackAsin=B0BMFFDY6H&amp;ref=sr_1_11&amp;keywords=Melissa+Manchester+Through+The+Eyes+Of+Love&amp;crid=1QK7J8DWXGGIG&amp;sprefix=melissa+manchester+through+the+eyes+of+love%2Caps%2C128&amp;qid=1668791783&amp;sr=8-11&amp;pldnSite=1\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New single from 25th album RE:VIEW available now Marvin Hamlisch \/ Carole Bayer Sager classic is released for Thanksgiving!
