Album Notes This 1998 reissue contains one bonus track not included on the original release.Personnel: Barry Manilow (vocals, piano); Mitch Holder (guitar); Jim Horn (saxophone); Bill Mays, Jai Winding (keyboards); Michael Boddicker, Ian Underwood (synthesizer); Will Lee, David Hungate, Dennis Belfield (bass); Ed Greene (drums); Alan Estes (percussion); Ron Dante, Monica Burruss, Reparata, Muffy Hendricks (background vocals).Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Robert Vosgien (Tower Mastering/Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California).As the '70s drew to a close, Manilow found himself at something of an artistic crossroads. He hadn't yet come far enough from his soft-pop roots to pursue the jazzier and more technological extremes of his '80s efforts, but he was beginning to feel the constrictions of the form that brought him so much success for the last several years. ONE VOICE can be seen as a compromise, then, between the crowd-pleasing populism of the sunny Jule Styne-Frank Loesser classic "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" and the more contemporary, mature side represented by such sophisticated ballads as "Ships" and the title tune. In this sense, ONE VOICE represents the end of an era in Manilow's career.
