I'm not saying that his version of Read 'Em and Weep is fantastic, but it sure isn't bad.

Totally agree. The stigma surrounding Barry Manilow is what puts a lot of people off and then dishonestly says he's bad just to try and save face. I think Manilows version of Read 'Em and Weep is far better than Meats, mainly because the production was done right and Barry can hold the higher notes a lot clearer. No it's not in my Top #10 of favourite Steinman songs but it's a bl**dy good song none the less and is even better sung by Barry.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I like Manilow much, I don't want to lie. However, you're right. Meat's version is let down by piss poor production.
