Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester, whose father was a bassoonist for the New York Metropolitan Opera, began singing commercial jingles at age 15 and went on to become a staff writer for Chappell Music while attending the High School of Performing Arts. After taking a songwriting class at New York University taught by Paul Simon, Manchester took her talents to the Manhattan club scene, where she was discovered by Bette Midler and Barry Manilow; the two hired her as a backup singer. She recorded her debut album, “Home to Myself,” co-writing many of the songs with Carole Bayer Sager. Manchester’s Top Ten hits include “Midnight Blue” and “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” She and Kenny Loggins co-wrote the latter’s hit duet with Stevie Nicks, “Whenever I Call You Friend.” Manchester was the first singer to have two movie themes nominated for Academy Awards (“Ice Castles” and “The Promise”), and her highest Billboard singles charting was the No. 5 hit “You Should Hear How She Talks About You,” which won a Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. Currently, Manchester alternates between recording, scriptwriting and acting, having appeared with Midler in “For the Boys” and on the television series “Blossom.” Her most recent album, “When I Look Down That Road,” includes collaborations with Beth Nielsen Chapman and Keb’ Mo’. Manchester received the Governor’s Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for her contributions to music and the recording arts.
