Manilow's "Ready to Take a Chance Again" originated in the film "Foul Play", which also featured "Copacabana", from his fourth studio album "Even Now". "Ready to Take a Chance Again" was nominated that year for the "Best Original Song" Oscar. On February 11, 1979, a concert from Manilow's sold-out dates at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles aired on the HBO series "Standing Room Only", which was the first pay-television show to pose a serious threat to network primetime specials for ratings. From the same tour in 1978, a one-hour special from Manilow's sold-out concert at the Royal Albert Hall aired in the UK.
