Notes2017 release from the pop music icon, a musical montage of New York with all the sights and sounds of the great city. It's filled with different styles of music: pop, easy jazz, Broadway type songs, early rock 'n roll, a little R&B and a little funk. It's a musical melting pot - just like New York. "I'm a New York City boy; born and raised. So when it came time to create a new album, I thought, "How about celebrating New York?" - Barry Manilow. This Is My Town: Songs Of New York is a musical journey. Hold on for the ride.
I saw Barry Manilow on Jimmy Fallon introducing his newest CD. He sang a number from it and it was great. He mentioned what other songs were on it. I immediately knew I had to purchase it. I went on EBAY, surprised to see it was on there listed for sale. I purchased it. The CD came right away in excellent condition. Been listening to it ever since I purchased it. Good buy and so convenient to buy.
Great music from a terrific performer. It is all about his "town", and it sparkles with some of his best vocal work to date. It is a must-have for any Barry Manilow fans. It harkens to some of his classic work.
