Manilow is the eleventh studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow released in 1985. It was his first album to miss the Top 40 and fail to earn a gold certification. Many feel it was due to the prominence of synthesizers, a departure from his renowned piano ballads. The album was Manilow's first of four albums with RCA Records.
