In the beginning of 1988's highly musical and endlessly entertaining Barry Manilow: Big Fun On Swing Street, Manilow says he has often wondered: "What if you took a little bit of the Forties and a little bit of the Eighties and put them together?" before adding, "Now we're not talking about Count Basie meets the Beastie Boys here." No, we're not, but this extremely vivid, jam-packed hour special does feel at times like some great MGM musical in bold MTV colors -- a way cool party with lots of charming retro touches. Spotlighting the music of Manilow's ambitious and accomplished albums "2:00 AM Paradise Cafй" and "Swing Street," the special features a wide range of musical guest stars including Carmen McRae, Gerry Mulligan, Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Phyllis Hyman, the vocal group Full Swing, Diane Schuur, Tom Scott, and Stanley Clarke. Singing a standard like "Stardust," Manilow seems entirely at home in a performance that feels like a great old Frank Sinatra album cover come to life. Other highlights include Manilow's solo rendition of "When October Goes" and a duet with Schuur of "It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" with Mulligan, Scott and Manilow's saxophonist Dana Robbins all soloing strongly. True to its name, Barry Manilow: Big Fun On Swing Street is a Manilow TV special that really swings.
Barry Manilow DVD Description:

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.
