This tidy package of hits stands as concrete evidence why MM dominated the ’70s and ’80s with her sweeping, stunningly orchestrated ballads like “Through the Eyes of Love,” “Come in from the Rain,” “Don’t Cry Out Loud,” and her signature tune, “Midnight Blue.” Flashback alert: go ahead and try to get through this CD without shedding a nostalgic tear. Also contains “Rainbird” from the 2010 film Dirty Girl. (Click here to read Nancy Ford’s interview with Melissa Manchester.) Arista Legacy (legacyrecordings.com). —Review: Nancy Ford
