It is the theme song of the movie, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eFoul Play,\u003c\/span\u003e starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. It is one of two Manilow songs featured in that movie, the other being \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eCopacabana.\u003c\/span\u003e The song recounts the experience of a despairing man who has been hurt by love and therefore has retreated into the safety of an emotional shell. His life then continues on a flat but even keel until he meets someone who causes him to consider taking a chance with love again. Both the 45 RPM single and the track on Manilow's hit collections are monaural, despite being labeled otherwise. The only source for this song in true stereo is the original \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eFoul Play\u003c\/span\u003e soundtrack, which is missing some elements of the single (a harp at 0:25 and orchestration beginning at 0:45, and a piano glissando at 2:18 is mixed way down). \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eReady to Take a Chance Again\u003c\/span\u003e peaked at No. 11 (for two weeks). It reached No. 5 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. On the Cash Box chart, the song spent two weeks at No. 7. In Canada, the song peaked at No. 4 for two weeks. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eReady to Take a Chance Again\u003c\/span\u003e was nominated for Best Song at the 1978 Academy Awards. It lost, however, to Donna Summer's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLast Dance\u003c\/span\u003e from the movie, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThank God It's Friday.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793698910489,"sku":"AS-0357","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/45-barry_manilow-ready_to_take_a_chance_again__7_single.jpg?v=1783554325","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/as-0357","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
