Welcome to Musicians, I'm David Wilde
And more importantly, this is Barry Manilow
Thank you, David
Thank you, everyone
Thank [B] you
[Abm] Barry, you wrote that with Chopin
Did you find him as difficult [Cm] as many people say?
Yes, me and Fred
Actually, I wrote it after a glass of wine Right
And I thought I had come up with like the coolest batch of chords
In my composing experience
And then I realized that before I had that glass of wine
I had been playing my Chopin preludes
And there was the prelude in C minor going through my head
And then I wrote the song around the Chopin prelude in C minor
Those chord changes, musicians like freak out over
Musicians, name of the show
They freak out over the prelude in C minor and the chorus of Could It Be Magic
Will you show us the Chopin in the
Well, I did, you know, that's why I started with the prelude
The prelude is [Fm] the
[G] [Fm] [G] [Cm]
And then I wrote
Come, [Ab]
[Bm] come, [G] come [Bb] into my [Gm] arms
[Am] Those are the chord changes that make your knees weak, don't they?
Aren't they?
[Ab] [G]
[Eb] [Bb] [Cm] That
[Ab] Can you show us, show me a little bit about what happened to this song
Before we heard it Right
[B] The Featherbed, explain who was Featherbed
You've done your homework there, David
Well, yeah, the first record I ever did
Well, the first record I ever did was
I was part of a ghost group called Featherbed
And there was a song called Amy
Actually, the gal that wrote the lyrics, Could It Be Magic, wrote by herself, Adrienne Anderson
And I was the ghost singer on it
I really didn't want to sing anything
I just happened to be in the studio at the time
I don't know who to talk to, you or the audience
Talk to the people, I'll watch
I'll talk to you, yeah
You're much prettier
You've always been the people's choice, so
[Cm] So then I wrote this Could It Be Magic song
And Tony Orlando, who had produced Amy, heard it
But I played it just the way I just played it for you
But he heard it like not three times
Because that's what was popular there
And he had just come off of this major hit
So I came into the studio that afternoon
Thinking I was going to hear
[Ab] that
[C] And I heard
And [F]
[C] [Am] [Ab]
I heard this
[Cm] Go, [Ab] won't you go
[G] Go
I [N] sang it because, you know, a buck is a buck, but
