BARRY MANILOW Happy Holidays (2008 UK PAL DVD - 'A Barry Manilow Christmas, Live By Request', was Barry's first ever Christmas-themed television special. This show was broadcast live from New York City on a festively set stage whilst it snowed for real outside. Barry is accompanied by a beautifully orchestrated big band for this live phone-in request show, which began with a medley of 'Happy Holidays / White Christmas / Happy Holidays', followed by the evergreen 'My Favourite Things' from The Sound of Music. Call-in requests ensue, the first being for 'Jingle Bells', including a request from Eric McCormack [of Will & Grace fame], for 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. The legendary Jose Feliciano guests, performing 'Feliz Navidad', followed by a duet on 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'. Cyndi Lauper is up next, performing 'At Last' and then duets with Barry on 'Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town'. The show finishes with Barry and the audience singing along to 'Deck The Halls' and 'Jingle Bell Rock' and finally a track from his first ever Christmas album, 'Because It's Christmas [For All the Children]'.)
