WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Barry Manilow, the top Adult 
Contemporary artist of all time, will kick off the release of his new 
album, THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES, during a live QVC® broadcast

the QVC broadcast will feature songs from the new album, showcasing the 
talented vocals and arrangements that have won him countless awards and 
legions of fans around the world.

Manilow has put his personal touch on many classics of the Sixties, 
including The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" 
(1965), Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (1967) and The 
Beatles' "And I Love Her" (1964). Also included is The Lettermen's "When I 
Fall In Love" (1962), Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My 
Head" (1969) and a great duet with The Association of their two #1 hits

THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES once again marks a reunion between 
Manilow and Clive Davis, Arista founder and BMG U.S. Chairman and CEO. The 
two produced THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE FIFTIES together, and that magic 
has carried over to the new album as well.

said Rich Yoegel, director of merchandising for QVC. "Barry is a true 
entertainer who continues to thrill millions of fans with his music and 
our customers will love listening to him perform."

Manilow states, "I can't wait to show viewers of QVC selections from my 
fantastic new CD THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES. We had such fun 
recording this CD and even rehearsing it brings smiles to everyone's
