BAYER SAGER DEBUTS AT FElNSTEIN'S
FEINSTEIN'S
at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue, NYC - 1-212-339-4095 - http://www.feinsteinsatthregency.com/)
continues its fall season with the debut engagement of Oscar winning
songwriter Carole Bayer Sager. Her engagement runs from Tuesday, November
18th through the 22nd. The show will play the following schedule:
Tuesday through Saturday at 8:30 PM with a late show on Friday and
Saturday at 11:00 PM. All shows have a $60 cover and $30 minimum.
Jackets are suggested, but not required.
Ms. Sager,
whose work is currently represented on Broadway in the musical "The
Boy From Oz," has written songs recorded by the top stars in the music
industry including Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand,
Neil Diamond, Melissa Manchester, Christopher Cross, Ray Charles,
Michael Jackson, the Doobie Brothers, Gladys Knight, Roberta Flack,
Johnny Mathis, Leo Sayer, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Aretha Franklin,
Dionne Warwick, Patti LaBelle, Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers and even Carole
herself.
The Iyricist
constitutes one-half of one of the world's most successful songwriting
teams, as she and partner, Burt Bacharach, have proven many times.
They have enjoyed two number one songs, "On My Own," recorded by Patti
LaBelle and Michael McDonald, and "That's What Friends Are For." Records
of both songs went gold. "That's What Friends Are For," recorded by
Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder, also
raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Foundation
for AIDS Research. "That's What Friends Are For" - nominated for Grammys
for "Song of the Year" and "Record of the Year" in 1986 - was the
number one song of the year.
Sager and
Bacharach made their debut as a team by winning an Oscar for "Best
Song" for the 1981 "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)." Their
songs for other films include "Making Love," three songs for the film
Night Shift, and the Roberta Flack-Peabo Bryson hit recording of "Romantic
Comedy." Two other Sager songs, "Looking Through the Eyes of Love"
(from Ice Castles) and "Nobody Does It Better" (from The Spy Who Loved
Me), were nominated for both Oscars and Grammy Awards. Sager's Iyrics
are featured in the long-running musical play, They're Playing Our
Song, the result of a collaboration with Marvin Hamlisch and Neil
Simon.
A singer
as well as a writer, Sager has had three self penned albums. Her own
hit singles have included "Stronger Than Before" and "You're Moving
Out Today." In addition to Burt Bacharach, Sager's list of collaborators
includes Neil Diamond, Melissa Manchester, Bette Midler, Peter Allen,
Quincy Jones, Bruce Roberts, David Foster and Michael McDonald. Other
hit titles in the Sager catalog include "Come in from the Rain," "Don't
Cry Out Loud," "When I Need You," "Midnight Blue," "It's My Turn,"
"Everything Old Is New Again," "Break It to Me Gently," "Making Love,"
"Heartlight" and her first hit, "A Groovy Kind of Love."
