Clay Recorded A Duet With Barry Manilow?

The CB's deb760 says Clay recorded a duet of "Young at Heart" with Barry Manilow. However, it did not make the cut for Barry's recently released Best of the 50's album, which included another version of the song. Please keep in mind that this is a rumour and has not been independently confirmed by CDD.

Here's what Deb posted:

I got this from someone on another board.She happened to be near the recording studio where Clay recorded his part for the rumored duet with Barry Manilow,so she stopped in and asked for more information. The song they recorded was Young at Heart,but for some reason,the duet wasn't used on Barry's 50's CD. The song is on there,but with Barry singing alone.Apparently,Clay's part was mostly harmonizing to Barry's lead vocals.The staff at the studio did say that Clay was very friendly and wonderful to work with.

Rainlover added this, which was found from another board:

Apparently,Clay's part was mostly harmonizing to Barry's lead vocals. I happened to be right across the street from "Cue" studios (Clay
recorded his tracks to what was going to be an upcoming Barry
release/duet there a few months ago) and stopped in to see if I could
see any other photos ... or find out what song they had recorded (I
don't think the title was ever released).

I did find out the track that Clay recorded on was "Young at Heart" but
it was not included in the 50's CD.

The staff at the studios told me that Clay was very gracious and nice
and they all enjoyed working with him. They were really disappointed
that the track was not included on the 50's CD ... maybe it will make
the audiobiography???

"Young at Heart" did make the album but as a solo version. I'll have to go back and listen to it to imagine how they might have done it. It's not even in my CD rotation....that'll tell you how much I liked that CD. The audiobiography that is mentioned in the post is a biographical CD project that Barry says he's working on.
