Barry also said Harmony was due to get into New York next season.
Manilow Makes Music: Barry performed bits of "Living With Grace," "One Voice," "Copacabana," "I Made It Through The Rain," "Weekend In New England," "Looks Like We Made It." On "2Nights Live!", Barry said there's a maturity in his singing, "you hear depth."
