Barry Manilow II is the second studio album by Barry Manilow released in 1974. Propelled by the major success of its lead single " Mandy" and featuring a further international hit in " It's a Miracle", the album was a commercial breakthrough for Manilow. [3] First issued by Bell Records, it was reissued after the company was reorganized into Arista Records. The album's success spawned a notable parody in the picture sleeve of Ray Stevens' 1979 single, " I Need Your Help Barry Manilow".
Album peaked at #29 on Canada’s RPM Album Chart.
