Tracks: Talkin' To Myself Be Somebody A Fool In Love Headlines Help Is On The Way Monkey See, Monkey Do Dirty Work So's My Old Man There's More Where That Came From Singing From My Soul About The Record: Help Is on the Way, released in 1976 by Melissa Manchester on Arista Records, is a pivotal album showcasing her smooth, soulful pop style, produced by Vini Poncia and recorded in Hollywood. The album marked a shift from her earlier collaborations with Carole Bayer Sager, featuring more covers and original tracks like Headlines and Talkin' to Myself, reflecting Manchester's evolving songwriting. Historically, it followed the success of her 1975 top-ten hit Midnight Blue, but struggled to replicate that commercial peak, with its lead single Be Somebody failing to chart significantly despite its top-40 appeal. The album includes a notable cover of Steely Dan?s Dirty Work, which was the B-side to Be Somebody, and an early version of Singing From My Soul, later reworked for her 1978 album. The album remains a fan favorite for its blend of soulful ballads and upbeat tracks like Headlines.
