Hi Everyone,
This month’s MTV has just about every style of song I’ve ever recorded.
It’s from May 5, 2000 in Wilkes-Barre, PA, a city that has always been filled with great and excited audiences.
We called the tour “Manilow Live” and for the first time, I brought a full orchestra along. That was because I had just finished recording one of my favorite albums – “Manilow Sings Sinatra”.
That album had some great arrangements and orchestrations and I felt that in order to sing songs from it properly I needed a full orchestra.
But of course, the orchestra sounded fantastic on all of the hits as well.
About a month before this show, we had taped a TV Special called “Manilow Country”. The concept was that terrific country singers would do my songs in their own way. I loved singing with these talented men and women and I was surprised how comfortable my catalog sounded done in the country style.
During this show, I did the famous Hank Williams classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”. I think you’ll like that one.
Frankly, I think you’ll like the entire show. Especially if you like accordion music!
Stay safe everyone.
Love,
Barry

Live By Request TV Special - 1996
Hi Everyone,
This episode is one that we've gotten many requests for.
It's the first "Live By Request" show we did, back in December of 1996 after I recorded the "Summer Of '78" album.
I don't think A&E has that series anymore, but I thought it was a great idea. And as for me and my band, we ...

Hi Everyone,
Well, this month’s Manilow TV makes perfect sense since we just finished two incredible shows in Mexico City.
We hadn’t been there in 23 years! I wasn’t sure anyone would come, but I’m glad to say I was very wrong.
We did two wild, loving, sing-along nights at the National Auditor...
