“All that I dreamed I’d be, everything I call ‘me,’ really is N-Y-C”, croons Barry Manilow on the title track of his love letter to the city that launched his megastardom. This collection shows off his eternally supple voice, with the doo-wop-tinged Manilow composition “Coney Island” and the Mel Tormé duet “The Brooklyn Bridge” shouting out the singer’s home borough. The joyous “NYC Medley” brings piano man Billy Joel, hip-hop titan JAY Z, master composer Leonard Bernstein and “New York, New York” into the fold.
