PRESS RELEASE:

BARRY MANILOW
THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES

Sony BMG / Arista Released 27th November 2006

INSPIRED NEW ALBUM SEES BARRY MANILOW CONTINUING ONE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIODS OF HIS CAREER

With the spectacular success of its predecessor, The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties, Barry Manilow pays tribute to some of the songs from the 1960's that inspired him to become one of the most popular performers of the past three decades.

Each song on THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES is a classic in its own right - from his remake of the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling'" (1965) to the Beatles' "And I Love Her"(1964), to Herb Alpert's "This Guy's In Love With You" (1968), the Lettermen's "When I Fall In Love" (1962) and Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" (1969). Like the marvelous musical decade of the '60s itself, the album covers many genres, from its recollection of Herman's Hermits' "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World)"(1967), to Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet" (1963), to Jackie DeShannon's "What The World Needs Now Is Love" (1965).

Manilow also pays tribute to some of America's greatest singers, whose memories are evoked on songs that are forever associated with them, including Dean Martin on "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" (1964) and Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (1967). Two artists whose legacies were recalled on The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties are again paid homage on the new album, namely Elvis Presley with "Can't Help Falling In Love" (1962) and Frank Sinatra with "Strangers In The Night" (1966). In addition there are two exclusive bonus tracks for the UK market, the classic Lennon / McCartney "Yesterday" and the Mamas and Papas most famous song "California Dreamin'.
