Discussions

TIL Barry Manilow thought "Last Christmas" by Wham! was so similar to his 1978 hit "Can't Smile Without You" that he took George Michael to court. But the case was thrown out after a musicologist presented 60-odd songs from the past century that had a comparable chord sequence and melody.
and this is after George told everyone to NOT buy his single and instead get the Band Aid single instead and donated his royalties to that cause as well More on reddit.com

Barry Manilow - Can't Smile Without You [pop]
Barry Manilow artist pic Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)." In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records number one Adult Contemporary artist and winning three straight American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. Several well-known entertainers have given Manilow their "stamp of approval," including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s regarding Manilow, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you." As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending relationship with the hotel. From March 2010, he has headlined at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide Read more on Last.fm. last.fm : 460,519 listeners, 3,831,158 plays tags: pop, easy listening, 80s, soft rock, oldies Please downvote if incorrect!

Can't Smile Without You by Barry Manilow - Songfacts
His wife, who worked at a card store, showed him one with a frown and teardrop on the cover, and the words "Can't Smile Without You." "I was immediately drawn to the slogan and during the drive home from Hampstead to Harrow, a journey of about 30 minutes, the song was written," he explained in the liner notes of Manilow's anthology The Complete Collection and Then Some. "When I first heard Barry's recording of the song, I realized that his injection of key changes coupled with the feeling of voice made the song speak volumes."
