Singin'... is a 1977 album release by Melissa Manchester on Arista Records. This was Manchester's sixth album and fourth and final collaboration with producer Vini Poncia, who had produced her 1975 commercial breakthrough, Melissa. After the first of Manchester's two 1976 album releases, Better Days and Happy Endings, failed to consolidate her stardom, Arista had attempted to restore Manchester's chart fortunes by making the lead single from the subsequent Help Is on the Way album not a Manchester original, but rather the Michael Franks composition "Monkey See, Monkey Do". This strategy proving unsuccessful, Arista then had Manchester record Singin'... which eschewed Manchester's songwriting – save for one track: "No One's Ever Seen This Side of Me" – in favor of outside material, including remakes of hits by Michael Jackson ("I Wanna Be Where You Are"), Sly and the Family Stone ("Stand"), Three Dog Night ("Let Me Serenade You") and the Beach Boys ("The Warmth of the Sun"). The track listing was completed by Manchester's versions of songs written and previously recorded by James Taylor ("You Make It Easy") and Wendy Waldman ("My Love Is All I Know") and a new song: "Sad Eyes", written by David Spinozza, who played guitar on the album. Upon its 1977 summer release, Singin'... failed to boost Manchester's faded chart presence, with the release of "I Wanna Be Where You Are" as a single being overlooked. However, the track did attract the attention of the song's composer Leon Ware, who became Manchester's producer for what would ultimately prove to be her comeback album, Don't Cry Out Loud (although that album's top ten hit title cut would be produced by Harry Maslin).
