Barry Manilow chronology

Greatest Hits Vol. II is the thirteenth album released by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow in 1983.^[2] In Britain, Manilow's first Greatest Hits album had been issued as Manilow Magic, thus this second volume was issued there as A Touch More Magic.

The album was mostly compilation, with the exception of three new tracks: "You're Looking Hot Tonight", "Put a Quarter in the Jukebox" and "Read 'Em and Weep" #1 A/C (for 6 weeks) and #18 in the United States, his last Top 40 on the Hot 100 to date, and also a cover of the Meat Loaf hit of the same name, albeit with an altered second verse and instrumental arrangement). The album reached platinum sales in 1993.^[3]
