| Barry Manilow and Stiletto - Agreement With Rhino Entertainment Superstar Barry Manilow, currently holding the #1 album position on the charts, and Stiletto New Media have signed a multi-year agreement with Rhino Entertainment, an industry leader in marketing and distribution of music and television on DVD, to distribute Manilow's original performances on DVD. The first title released under the new deal will be "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" and has a street date of March 28. "We're very excited to be involved with Barry Manilow and Stiletto New Media, " stated Sig Sigworth, VP of Video for Rhino Entertainment. "Barry is an artist with a wealth of talent, and his fan base will be thrilled with the products that Stiletto is developing." "This agreement truly reflects the best of all worlds, " said Troy P. Queen, a principal of Stiletto New Media. "It combines an extraordinary content creator in Barry with a terrific production team and the excellent marketing and distribution strengths of Rhino Entertainment." Garry C. Kief, Mark C. Grove and Troy P. Queen serve as executive producers of "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" on behalf of Stiletto. Legendary songwriter and performer Barry Manilow celebrated the 100th performance of his hit show, "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION, " at the Las Vegas Hilton, and PBS was there to capture all the excitement on stage and behind the scenes. Barry gives his audience the show of a lifetime, delivering favorites such as "Mandy, " "Copacabana" and "I Write The Songs" in a high-energy party -- Vegas style! Plus, Barry sings songs from his new No. # 1 album "The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties" such as "Unchained Melody" and "Venus, " as well as songs that have never been captured on film: "If I Can Dream, " "The Best Seat In The House, " "See The Show Again, " "Do You Know Who's Livin' Next Door?, " "Come Monday" and "Here's To Las Vegas." Shot in high-definition, "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" is an exciting, multi-faceted production that features contemporary hi-tech music and effects mixed with the classic entertainment values of Las Vegas legends such as Sinatra, Presley, Davis and Martin. "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" is the latest masterpiece from the Showman of our Generation that has people from every generation on their feet, dancing and clapping along, as only he can do. Special features include exclusive, never-before-seen interviews with Barry. The cameras never stopped rolling. They followed Barry everywhere -- before the show and after the show. This intimate look at Barry's work has been compiled into two compelling featurettes that not only give the fans an inside look at what goes into producing his live Vegas show and the PBS Special, but also the outtakes during the shoot -- like when Barry lost his voice singing "Unchained Melody" and didn't know if he could go on with the show! His loyal fans will be able to add yet another gem to their collection of Barry Manilow music beginning March 28th with the "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" two-disc DVD. Barry Manilow is the #1 Adult Contemporary Artist of all time. He has sold 75 million albums, has performed over 3000 concerts and has had 28 Platinum records. Barry is a Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award Winner, as well as an Academy Award nominee. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
