\u201cConfide in Me, ” co-written by Melissa and Stanley Schwartz,\u00a0was featured on Diana Ross\u2019 1977 Grammy-nominated album\u00a0Baby, It\u2019s Me.\u00a0\u00a0Manchester stated,\u00a0\u201cI think the idea for the song came organically as Stan was playing the melody and I started hearing the lyrics.\u00a0 It was conceived as a \u2018torch song,\u2019 slow and sultry.\u00a0 As luck would have it, that\u2019s how the great Diana Ross recorded it.\u00a0 My new version is a re-imagining of the song, leaning into a Latin flair.\u201d\u00a0 Schwartz contributes saxophone to the song and\u00a0Melissa gives a new bossa nova twist to the melody that many might also remember from Raquel Welch\u2019s performance on\u00a0The Muppet Show. Manchester reminisced, \u201cIt was wild to see her flirting through the song – with Animal, as I recall.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

RE:VIEW, due out early next year, will feature legendary guest artists and revisit several of Manchester\u2019s charted hits. The GRAMMY winner is thrilled \u201cto take my place on Green Hill, a Primary Wave-owned label\u2019s shining roster alongside some of the world\u2019s (and my) most beloved artists, including my musical godmother Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Olivia Newton-John, Duke Ellington, Elvis Presley and Earth, Wind & Fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester recently embarked on a new adventure, debuting as Mrs. Brice in the North American tour of\u00a0Funny Girl\u00a0(although she will be taking a temporary break to recover from a\u00a0knee injury).<\/p>\n

Manchester – whose previous musical theater experience includes national tours of two Andrew Lloyd Webber shows,\u00a0Song & Dance\u00a0and\u00a0Music Of The Night\u00a0– will perform such beloved selections as \u201cIf A Girl Isn\u2019t Pretty\u201d and \u201cWho Taught Her Everything She Knows?\u201d in\u00a0Funny Girl, adding to the stunning collection of classics to which she\u2019s lent her luminous voice over five decades, including \u201cMidnight Blue,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Cry Out Loud,\u201d and \u201cCome In From The Rain.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Melissa Manchester:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 1980, Melissa Manchester became the first recording artist in the history of the Academy Awards to have two nominated movie themes in a single year – \u201cThrough the Eyes of Love\u201d from\u00a0Ice Castles\u00a0and \u201cI\u2019ll Never Say Goodbye\u201d from\u00a0The Promise\u00a0– and to perform them both on the Oscar telecast. Manchester created the role of Maddy, the title character\u2019s mother, on the NBC hit TV series\u00a0Blossom. She was nominated for a GRAMMY for \u201cDon\u2019t Cry Out Loud\u201d in 1980 and she won the GRAMMY Award for Best Female Vocalist in 1982 singing \u201cYou Should Hear How She Talks About You.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester celebrated her tenure as Artist In Residence at Citrus College with the release of her 21st album,\u00a0The Fellas, a tribute to the iconic male singers who set the platinum standard for pop music. In 2021, Manchester was inducted into the Great American Songbook Foundation\u2019s Hall of Fame and she had the pleasure of saluting her longtime colleague, Bette Midler, on The Kennedy Center Honors awards telecast.<\/p>\n

Manchester\u2019s 25th album,\u00a0RE:VIEW, due out in 2024 in celebration of her fifty-year career, features fresh takes on several of her nineteen Billboard-charted classic hits.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
