Trivia question (singers, genre, albums, group)

[rlrl]

Which female singer, whose style fell between the cracks of the genres(often described as "sophisticated") had many albums, two of which had the exact same title, seven years apart?

[brubaker]

Oh wow....I dunno.

Was she a solo performer?

[rlrl]

she performed solo but I'll give u a hint, when she didn't have a hit in 9-10 years Barry Manilow helped her out and all of a sudden she had a hit or 2

thanks for the hint, I'll guess Bette Midler

i forgot about Bette and Barry in the early 70's. Bette was into neo- nostalgia in the early 70's but the artist I am referring to was more straight pop, more conservative than Bette, she took less chances musically that Bette

Bette's first album was in 72 but the artist i refer to started before Bette, probably close to a decade more prior to Bette

Hint--in 1974 she duetted with a well known R&B group but it was not HER song

again, she had 2 albums with the same title, both 7 years apart , but the second album was her breakthough after 9-10 years of no hits, rescued by Barry Manilow. In fact, the album was basically a Barry album only it was her her singing instead of him
