They are going to Vegas this weekend to work with him is what I am now told. Since he has a cover album of 50's songs that's probably the angle.

It appears that the show will have artists involved with different episodes.

I guess it makes sense.

Let me amend my reply in 12,323 to say it makes sense only if Manilow does not coach them on what songs to pick. The list of songs on his "Greatest Hits of the '50's" are mostly snoozers for contemporary audiences.

It does include "Sincerely," which I think would be a hoot for our Little Girl from Dogpatch to sing. Here's the tunes in his album:

Moments To Remember
It's All In The Game
Unchained Melody
Venus
It's Not For Me To Say
Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
Rags To Riches
Sincerely/Teach Me Tonight
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Young At Heart
All I Have To Do Is Dream
What A Diff'rence A Day Made
Beyond The Sea

Where are the wonderful, youthful, energetic early rock-and-roll songs? Heck, I'd rather hear some of the great songs from "West Side Story" (a 1950's Broadway musical) than the stuff Manilow prefers to sing.
