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

It’s called “Big Fun on Swing Street” and it’s very hard to find. It aired on CBS on March 7, 1988, a couple months after we released the “Swing Street” album.
Bruce, Jack and I wrote a concept hour fo...

Hi Everyone,
I’m crazy about this concert!
It was 2012 and we were on tour in the U.S. promoting my “15 Minutes” CD (which I love!). We did a load of big US cities – 3 nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Then we headed to the U.K. for a short run of shows. Only five cities. We did reco...
