Manilow's long relationship with Arista ended when he signed to the jazz-oriented Concord label, for which he debuted in late 2001 with the concept album Here at the Mayflower, which continued his evolution into a pre-rock pop stylist. Manilow began to reenter the wider public eye in 2002, performing "Let Freedom Ring" at the Super Bowl pre-game show; aided by television advertising, Ultimate Manilow entered the album charts at a stunning number three position that March. A DVD release of the collection followed, as well as a two-disc set of live music called 2 Nights Live that had been culled from a weekend in New Jersey. Manilow went back to the studio in 2005 to record a diverse collection of tracks from the 1950s with producer and music mogul Clive Davis. The resulting Greatest Songs of the Fifties, a labor of love, became a surprise hit and topped the charts in early 2006. A sequel, The Greatest Songs of the Sixties, arrived at the end of that year and reached number two, which paved the inevitable way for The Greatest Songs of the Seventies in September 2007.

Bringing his hit song to life, Barry Manilow stars as Tony, a struggling young composer and pianist at New York's famous Copacabana nightclub. Tony falls for beautiful showgirl Lola, but smarmy rival nightclub owner Rico offers Lola a shot at the big time in Havana. Chaos ensues when Rico's real intentions are revealed in this irresistible combination of Manilow's infectious melodies, splashy song-and-dance numbers and glitzy costumes.

Tomorrow, Barry Manilow was set to make an appearance on “The View”. He is currently on tour to promote a “Greatest Songs of the Seventies,” album.
