About The Record:
Ready to Take a Chance Again became an international hit single performed by Barry Manilow. It is the theme song of the movie, Foul Play, starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. It is one of two Manilow songs featured in that movie, the other being Copacabana. The song recounts the experience of a despairing man who has been hurt by love and therefore has retreated into the safety of an emotional shell. His life then continues on a flat but even keel until he meets someone who causes him to consider taking a chance with love again. Both the 45 RPM single and the track on Manilow's hit collections are monaural, despite being labeled otherwise. The only source for this song in true stereo is the original Foul Play soundtrack, which is missing some elements of the single (a harp at 0:25 and orchestration beginning at 0:45, and a piano glissando at 2:18 is mixed way down). Ready to Take a Chance Again peaked at No. 11 (for two weeks). It reached No. 5 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. On the Cash Box chart, the song spent two weeks at No. 7. In Canada, the song peaked at No. 4 for two weeks. Ready to Take a Chance Again was nominated for Best Song at the 1978 Academy Awards. It lost, however, to Donna Summer's Last Dance from the movie, Thank God It's Friday.
