Показать описание
Barry Manilow performs "Can't Smile Without You" live, taken from The First BBC Special in 1978.
The year is 1978. In the US, Barry Manilow is on top of the pop charts.
Even Now featuring the hit singles “Even Now", “Can’t Smile Without You”, “Copacabana", and “Somewhere In The Night” is released.
The Second Barry Manilow Special airs on ABC. Barry Manilow In Concert is released as the first big musical special on HBO.
Across the pond in the UK, however, Barry is still a relative unknown. But the buzz is growing.
He’s booked for his first shows in the UK…two nights at the London Palladium. Those two nights sell out and four more nights are added. Those four nights sell out.
British impresario Robert Patterson and his young assistant, Andrew Miller decide to roll the dice.
They call the BBC.
They book Manilow at the Royal Albert Hall and turn his concert into a two part TV special.
So begins a beautiful love affair between Manilow and his British fans.

LYRICS:
[Chorus]
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
[Verse]
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light-years away
[Chorus]
And now you know I can't smile without you (No I can't smile without you)
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
[Bridge]
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
[Chorus]
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
(I feel sad) I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
[Outro]
(Can't smile without you
Can't smile without you
Can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything)
