Barry Manilow: The First Television Specials (DVD, Boxed set)

Before there was MTV, there was Manilow TV, and now Barry Manilow: The First Television Specials DVD box set gathers together five of Manilow's early network television specials from 1977 to 1988, over a decade in the career of one of music's most enduring artists. Taken as a group, these outstanding shows didn't simply win Emmys and score big ratings, but they also beautifully showcase the man's remarkable range as a musician, entertainer and creative force. Manilow is joined by special guests ranging from Ray Charles to John Denver and Dionne Warwick to Kid Creole and the Coconuts, yet in the end there is no doubt who the true star of these shows is.
