Tryin' to Get the Feeling is the third studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, released in 1975. It features the title track, "Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again", together with other hits including "New York City Rhythm", "Bandstand Boogie" (the theme from the long-running ABC series American Bandstand) and the chart-topping "I Write the Songs". The album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Chart on November 8, 1975, reaching number five in early 1976, and eventually was certified double platinum.[1] It peaked at No. 24 on Canada's RPM Album Chart.
The Piano Player sculpture on the album's front cover was created by Italian artist Dino Bencini. Both front and back cover art were later parodied by Ray Stevens on the cover of his 1979 album The Feeling's Not Right Again, which contains the song "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow".
