2:00 AM Paradise Cafe

2:00 AM Paradise Cafe is the tenth studio album by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, released in 1984 on Arista Records. The album peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard 200 and went Gold in the United States.

Johnny Mercer's widow, Ginger, entrusted Manilow with a cache of Mercer's lyrics that had never been set to music, although Manilow used only Mercer's "When October Goes" for the project. He recruited veteran jazz musicians Bill Mays, Gerry Mulligan, Shelly Manne, Mundell Lowe, and George Duvivier for the album. Also enlisted for vocal duets were Mel Tormé and Sarah Vaughan. The entire album was rehearsed for three days, then recorded entirely live (in one take) without overdubs at Westlake Studio 'C' in Los Angeles, California.

All music is composed by Barry Manilow.
