"A legendary disco story of passion, jealousy, and tragedy, set against the unforgettable rhythm"
"Copacabana (At The Copa)"
BARRY MANILOW
Even Now (1978)
Even Now is the fifth studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow.
It was released in 1978. The album reached triple platinum and spun off four hit singles in 1978 and early 1979: the title song, "Can't Smile Without You", "Copacabana" and "Somewhere in the Night" (which had previously been a hit in 1976 for Helen Reddy).
Even Now peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart on April 8, 1978.
At the 21st Annual Grammy Awards, Barry Manilow won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal for "Copacabana (At the Copa)".
"Copacabana" was released in 1978 as the third single.
The same year, "Copacabana" appeared in the soundtrack album of the film Foul Play.
The song story focuses on Lola, a Copacabana showgirl, and her sweetheart Tony, a bartender at the club. One night, an ostentatiously wealthy man named Rico takes a fancy to Lola, but Tony intervenes when Rico becomes aggressive. The ensuing brawl ends in a gun being fired; although it is initially unclear "who shot who", it soon becomes apparent that Tony has died.
"Copacabana" debuted on Billboard magazine's Top 40 chart on July 7, 1978, and peaked at number 8.
