Barry Manilow seemed very excited about participating in this year’s event. Newsmax reports that the acclaimed singer was simply “thrilled” to perform during the celebration.
Manilow explained to reporters:
I did it four years ago and I was so thrilled when they called me back and asked me to do it again. For me it was one of the biggest thrills, not only because I was standing, singing, looking at the Capitol and being surrounded by history … and then being in the company of the National Orchestra [who] are amazing. Most of all, for me, it was ending the show with ‘Let Freedom Ring.’ Bruce [Sussman] and I wrote it for a moment like that.
