More than a year in creation, THIS IS MY TOWN: SONGS FROM NEW YORK premieres ten new Barry Manilow studio recordings with the songs evenly divided between new original Manilow compositions and standards evoking the spirit and energy of New York City. While writing his own songs for the album, Barry made demos of the classic New York-inspired songs he loved to sing. "I didn't want to do a full original album," he says. "It felt like it would be cheating the public to not give them the old songs that they knew. I must have done 50 demos of standards as I was writing the original songs. That's what took the longest: to choose the standards. And, of course, to write the originals."

THIS IS MY TOWN: SONGS FROM NEW YORK (QVC Item #E230566) will be available beginning April 12, while supplies last, through QVC.com, the QVC apps or by calling 800.345.1515.
