About this album

Even Now is one of Barry Manilow’s most polished late-1970s albums, balancing sweeping ballads with sleek pop-rock and disco touches. Released in 1978, it captures the moment when Manilow was firmly established as a chart-dominating mainstream singer-songwriter, with a sound built for radio and big-room sentiment. The album is best remembered for “Copacabana (At the Copa)”, one of his signature songs and a major hit, but it also shows the consistency of his melodic craft across the title track, “Can’t Smile Without You” and other carefully written, emotionally direct songs. Its commercial success helped confirm Manilow as a defining pop figure of the era.
