ULTIMATE
MANILOW:
The Hits
–
Manilow’s
new show
begins
his 5th
sold-out
year at
Las
Vegas
Hilton
(October 16, 2008 – New York, NY) Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning Arista recording artist Barry Manilow just announced the release of his new album, THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES, a brand new 12-song collection that will arrive in stores on Arista Records on November 25th.
Working with longtime collaborator Clive Davis, Chief Creative Officer of Sony BMG Worldwide, Manilow and co-producers Scott Erickson and Michael Lloyd have crafted a CD collection of instant memories.
Special pre-order campaign for THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES at the www.amazon.com
THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES uncovers a bounty of treasures and reignites nostalgia for these fantastic hit songs reinterpreted by Manilow in his signature style - from his duet with Reba McEntire on “Islands in the Stream,” as they pay homage to Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton’s #1 duet of 1983 – to a trio of songs associated with memorable films: Phil Collins #1 hit of 1984, “Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)”; Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes’ #1 hit of 1987, “I've Had the Time of My Life” (from Dirty Dancing); and Christopher Cross’ Oscar-winning #1 hit of 1981, “Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do), ” and much more.
THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES is Manilow’s newest addition to the mega-best-selling series of tribute albums that he masterminded with Arista founder Clive Davis. Davis has been Manilow’s hitmaking collaborator on virtually all his recordings, since they first worked together on “Mandy,” his debut #1 single as the first artist signed to Arista by Davis in 1974, the first year of the label’s existence.
THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES continues the series that began nearly three years ago with The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties, which was certified RIAA platinum after entering the Billboard 200 at #1 in January 2006 (his first #1 album since Barry Manilow/Live in 1977). The Greatest Songs Of The Sixties (October 2006) entered at #2. When the RIAA platinum The Greatest Songs Of The Seventies entered at #4 (September 2007), he was distinguished as the only artist to chart three Top 5 debuts during 2006-2007.
THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES moves seamlessly through a selection of major hits from both sides of the Atlantic. The UK is well-represented by “Careless Whisper,” the #1 hit of 1984 by Wham! featuring George Michael; Rick Astley’s #1 “Never Gonna Give You Up”; and a song that Van Morrison first wrote and recorded in 1989, “Have I Told You Lately,” which later became a giant hit for Rod Stewart.
Manilow’s impeccable performances and signature arranging style also breathe new life into a quintet of American classics: “Open Arms” by Journey; Chicago’s #1 “Hard to Say I'm Sorry”; Stevie Wonder’s #1 “I Just Called to Say I Love You”; Cyndi Lauper’s #1 “Time After Time”; and Richard Marx’s #1 “Right Here Waiting.”BARRY MANILOW: THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE EIGHTIES (tentative track listing and subject to change):

STRIKE UP THE BANDS !!!!!!
*MANILOW MUSIC
PROJECT GIVES
THE GIFT OF MUSIC*
Palm Springs, CA – This morning, musician and songwriter Barry Manilow fulfilled his promise. At a press conference held at Palm Springs High School, Manilow, determined to revitalize the ailing music programs in schools, did so today by giving over $500,000 in musical instruments to middle and high schools in the Palm Springs, Coachella Valley and Desert Sands Unified School Districts.
In response to the needs of the local public schools and their severely depleted music programs, Manilow gathered some friends and formed The Manilow Music Project as part of his nonprofit Manilow Health and Hope Fund. The mission statement of the Manilow Music Project (MMP) highlights the importance of music programs in our schools and donates instruments and materials to school music programs. The MMP is sponsored by Manilow, along with Yamaha, Hal Leonard, Toys ‘R Us Children’s Fund, and the non-profit Manilow Fund For Health and Hope.
Manilow spoke to the crowd of teachers, school administrators and special guests in a brief and impassioned speech of encouragement by sharing how his own life had been profoundly changed by music. Having been given the gift of a piano when he was a young boy, Manilow knows first hand the power and ability that music carries in making the difference in a child’s life.
Flanked by students representing each of the 20 schools who are the recipients of these instruments, Manilow challenged others to join him in the encouragement and empowerment of our youth.
For donations and more information on the Manilow Music Project, please go to
www.manilowfund.org to donate today!Hotline Message - Sunday 21st September 2008

Hotline for Wednesday, July 9th 2008 MANILOW ADDS TO 02 ARENA DATES IN LONDON Tickets for Newly Added 7th December Show Available Sunday 13th July (7th July 2008) Los Angeles, CA— Due to an overwhelming response to his non-stop hit-filled concert, “Ultimate Manilow: The Hits...and then some,” Barry Manilow has extended his previously announced appearance at London’s 02 Arena on 4th and 6th December by adding a third show on Sunday 7th December. Tickets go on sale Sunday 13th July at 9 am through Ticketline, www.ticketline.co.uk , 02 Arena at www.the02.co.uk, Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.co.uk, or See Tickets at www.seetickets.com. Danny Betesh and Andrew Miller, Manilow’s UK concert promoters since 1978, reported that they have never experienced such demand. “It’s impossible to make an outgoing call,” reported Miller, “ as my telephone has yet to stop ringing from friends calling for tickets.” After hundreds of sold out performances at The Las Vegas Hilton since opening in 2005, “Ultimate Manilow: The Hits…and then some” will offer a larger-than-life experience, providing the audience with a truly unique evening of songs and memories! Manilow has been touted in Las Vegas as “one of the most popular singers in America” (NY Times), and is “among the best in the business” (Variety), with the Las Vegas Review-Journal urging concert-goers to “jump out of your seat and join the party!” The show Manilow will bring to London will be tailor-made for his beloved British fans. “The British public and I have had a long standing love affair for over 30 years. There is no audience for me like the people who party with me at a concert in the UK.” Manilow says, “I am creating a show that I can only do in Britain. If I tried to do the show I’m putting together for the December concerts anywhere else in the world, the audiences would think

We just saw a pretty outrageous headline on one of the tabloids claiming
that Barry is ill and down to 100 pounds.
Granted....he's pretty trim. But 100 pounds? Give us a break. Even
Mary Kate and Ashley weigh more than 100 pounds. And no....he's not
ill.
What he is...is rehearsing for his new show in Las Vegas.
Recording his new album.
Putting together a new arena show.
Starting on his new original rock album.
And sometimes even enjoying the beach.
A picture of him doing just that is attached.
And yes.....those are his kayak paddles in the background.
By the way.....we also saw a headline that said aliens had invaded
Pomona. That headline, of course, is true.
