Barry Manilow / The Desert Sun
Palm Springs resident Barry Manilow's latest PBS special will air from 7 to 9 p.m. Dec. 3 on KCET Desert Cities as part of a pledge special.
"Barry Manilow: Songs From The Seventies" will air on more than 250 PBS stations, including the local outlet, during a December fundraising campaign.
Inspired by his "Barry Manilow: Songs From The Seventies" CD, the special was taped before a live audience on Sept. 12 at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, N.Y., the city where Manilow was born and raised.
It features Manilow in concert and sharing his personal experiences with the audience.
Manilow won an Emmy last year for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for his PBS special, "Barry Manilow: Music and Passion."
This special reunites Manilow with that director, David Mallet.
Manilow recently released his third Christmas CD, "In the Swing of Christmas," selling for $7.95 at HallmarkGold Crown stores with the purchase of three Hallmark cards.
He’ll perform in the "Aflac Presents Brian Boitano Skating Spectacular" with Boitano and Dorothy Hamill Dec. 5 at AT&T Park in San Francisco for another TV special scheduled to air Dec. 22 on NBC.
