Melissa Manchester’s self-made You Gotta Love the Life (release date: Feb. 10, 2015), the singer-songwriter’s first album since 2004, celebrates 40 years of making music. The album offers a variety of songs performed with legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb’ Mo’, Dionne Warwick, Dave Koz, and Joe Sample, in one of his last recordings. You Gotta Love the Life is the Oscar-nominated, Grammy-winning singer’s first new studio album since When I Look Down That Road.
This record marks her only collaboration with Hal David for what turned out to be his last recorded lyric. Manchester produced the album with guitarist Terry Wollman co-producing. Manchester’s status as one of popular American music’s most enduring artists is exceptional both for her longevity and versatility. Her recording of the Peter Allen/Carole Bayer Sager anthem Don’t Cry Out Louddelivered her first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Female Vocal Performance in 1979, and she won the award in the same category four years later for You Should Hear How She Talks About You. Two of her songs, Through the Eyes of Love and The Promise, were nominated for Academy Awards in the same year.
