Weekend in New England

Weekend in New England

"Weekend in New England" is a song written by Randy Edelman, and released by Barry Manilow on his 1976 album "This One's For You". The song was released as a single in 1976, reaching the #1 spot on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a classic example of Manilow's popular style of big ballad, including a romantic theme, swelling orchestration and a dramatic finish.

The Reba McEntire hit song, "Whoever's in New England," is seen by many as an "answer song" to Barry's "Weekend In New England" hit, as sung by the wife of a philandering husband who has an ongoing affair with someone in New England.

This song was also recorded by John Barrowman on his 2007 album "Another Side".
