Dancin' Fool - Barry Manilow

Dancin' Fool - Barry Manilow
2:38
Scores: Songs from "Copacabana" and "Harmony", 2004
Written by Barry Manilow, Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman

This is a rerecording of a previously released song, though I can't find when Manilow originally recorded it.  Manilow's vocals are smooth and powerful, while the band brings high energy brass blasts and string stings.  Ther's perhaps an overabundance of scatting, but chalk it up to Manilow's enthusiasm.  I love it when writers put rhymes, especially multiple word rhymes, mid-sentence: "When that crooner starts in to scattin' / Just give me a chance an' / My tuxedo pants an' / Presto! I'm a dancin' fool."
