RECORD THEIR VOCALS TO FAVORITE MANILOW TUNES

LAS VEGAS—The Manilow store has opened at the Las Vegas Hilton on the eve of Barry Manilow’s long-term engagement, “MusicAndPassion” beginning February 23, 2005.

The interactive store offers customers the opportunity to record their own vocals to their favorite Manilow tunes in the store’s recording booth. Customers can also preview songs from Manilow’s entire catalog of music in special listening stations. Video screens feature Manilow concerts.

The centerpiece of the store is a large piano that serves as the desk, with a large neon “COPACABANA” sign hanging above it. The Manilow store will be a one-stop shop for everything Manilow, including apparel DVDs, jewelry, CDs, books, sheet music…even bobbleheads! Open daily 10:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. when Manilow is not performing, and Sun-Fri 10:00 a.m.-midnight and Saturday 10:00 a.m.-1:00 a.m. when Manilow is performing.

Manilow just completed his final road tour “One Night Live! One Last Time!”, selling out venues in 22 cities in which he performed for 250,000 fans and promoted his latest album “SCORES-Songs from Copacabana and Harmony.” Said Manilow, “I’ve spent the last three months telling audiences that since I wouldn’t be touring again, the only way to see me is if you come to my home! Well, I’ve got a new home...The Las Vegas Hilton! Las Vegas is now the home to a large number of talented performers and I feel lucky to be joining the group.”
