The singer sat down with ET to chat about breaking Elvis Presley's record with his 637th show and his milestone anniversary.
is a man of many accolades -- he's sold more than 85 million albums, scored over 25 Top Ten hits, like"Copacabana 1985," and he's ranked the number one adult contemporary artist of all time. This year, he's got another amazing accomplishment to celebrate: breaking Elvis Presley's record for the most performances at the Westgate Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"It's great. I mean listen, what's [really] great is being in the same sentence as Elvis Presley," Manilow told ET's Denny Directo ahead of the big celebration on Sept. 23."This is beyond just another singer. This was somebody who invented a style of music that wouldn't have been there if he hadn't done it, so this was a big [honor]. And it's great that both of us were working on this stage.
"That never gets old and I never take it for granted," he said of his fans' enthusiasm during the shows."As a matter of fact, my stage manager and I stand in the wings, and every night, I say, 'Is anybody out there?' And I know it sounds silly, but I mean it because I never take it for granted."
