DVD Manilow, Barry - One Night On Broadway (RC 0)

The great Barry Manilow in a 1989 concert, expertly captured at the Gershwin Theater on Broadway. Sometimes rocking away at the piano; sometimes singing in inimitable style on an intimate set; sometimes caught in a classic Broadway spotlight, Barry brings his unique blend of subtlety and climactic emotion to a fully packed repertoire, featuring all of his greatest hits - of which there are of course an extraordinary number. Barry also discusses and reviews his career for this enthusiastic hometown audience, looking back to his Brooklyn roots and his years accompanying aspiring singers. His early days with Bette Midler are reflected in a brassy, funny set of soul parodies featuring the sexy, funky Debra Byrd, whose duet with Barry brings down the house. And in the `Gonzo Hits Medley,' we're treated to more than twenty amazing songs in one huge bite - testament to the extraordinary musical impact of Barry Manilow.
