Happy sixty-first birthday today (February 15th) to American singer-songwriter and actress Melissa Manchester.

In October of 1979, Manchester released her eighth studio album, the self-titled Melissa Manchester. The album was a mix of original material and songs from other sources. Unlike some of her previous records, this one failed to generate any huge hits. However, it did have some strong presence on the adult contemporary charts.
