Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition in the opening medley where the driving rhythm of New York City Rhythm melts into the brassy swagger of On Broadway.
The hauntingly isolated vocal introduction of Lonely Town, backed only by a sparse, melancholic piano before the lush strings swell.
The uncanny, emotional resonance of the virtual duet on The Brooklyn Bridge, where Mel Tormé's archival vocals blend perfectly with Manilow's live performance.
