Barry Manilow himself has coined his former opening act, Kyle Vincent, "One of the best singer-songwriters to come along since the heyday of Tin Pan Alley." And now the student pays tribute to the teacher in a stunning new collection, featuring eleven classic songs turned into smash hits by Manilow in the 70s, given a polished and superb fresh take with Vincent's pure vocals, and some new arrangement tid-bits, all the while honouring the original productions by not veering far off course. Kyle Vincent is quite possibly the most appropriate artist to give these songs new life. The CD package comes with a 6-page booklet telling the poignant story of Vincent as an ardent "Fanilow", reflecting upon why he took on this project in the first place. The album also includes a bonus track - a new, unreleased Kyle Vincent original song, entitled "Mother & Daughter". For years now Vincent has enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist - having released 13 solo albums and nearly 200 original compositions on iTunes. He is consistently on tour playing shows in in the U.S., Philippines, Japan, Canada, and Europe for his dedicated fan base. Vincent's Top-20 U.S. Adult Contemporary hit song, "Wake Me Up (When The World's Worth Waking Up For)" also appeared in the Garry Marshall film, "The Other Sister". In 2014, Vincent won Best Male Vocalist at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards. In addition to Manilow, Vincent has shared a stage or a recording studio with some of the biggest names in the music business including Robert Lamm (Chicago), Gerry Beckley (America), Bryan Adams, Richard Marx, Amy Grant, Rick Springfield and many others. For a few years he was even the lead singer in a reformed Bay City Rollers, and also Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods.
