  • Just Barry on the piano performing Could It Be Magic and then talking about writing that song after a glass of wine and not realising at the time that he had stolen the chords from Fred Chopin.

    The beautiful Prelude again. I rarely have time for this one, but I found it and wanted to listen to it. You do these so well when we can also watch your expansive hands play the piano so we can hear your Classical training and I love to watch this.......Betsy Blue-Eyes

    Fred would've been proud. A classical tune turned into a classic.

    He actually used the chords and turn it into his own masterpiece. Chopin DID get the credit for the track.

    He is amazing...Seen him live many times over the last 20 years..his voice may not be the best techincally but he gets you with his magic when you see him live and the voice and music are phenomenal...if you can get to see him live while he is still performing..i could recommend it!

    Before Manilow was a backup musician for Bette Midler, he was a famous / acclaimed jingle writer for TV commercials. His most famous jingle is probably McDonald's "You Deserve a Break Today". But he also did jingles for KFC, State Farm (Like a Good Neighbor), Trident gum, Bandaids (Stuck on Bandaids), Dr Pepper (So Misunderstood), Pepsi (Join the Pepsi People), and on and on. In the late 1970s after Mandy and other hits he would open his shows with the Jingles as he did for a show I saw in Portland OR in 1978.

    What ever age he would have - he will reach all centuries above our times !!! ! Especially in view of that songs. The Michael Jacksons; Madonnas; Robbie Williams; Anastacias; Beyonces; Del Rays or Adeles or other excessively screaming voices - can surely hide themselfes behind.\\

    Barry, we in Chicago miss you like family. Did you have to retire?

  • @1305alz
    @1305alz 13 лет назад +1

    @musiclover77able Agreed, Patti LaBelle, Gloria Gayner, Tina Turner and other greats of their eras are truly great. Unlike many of todays squeaky voiced, out of tune posers.

  • @1305alz
    @1305alz 13 лет назад +2

    @musiclover77able I agree, It's such a shame that her lifestyle and torrid relationship with Bobby Brown caused her to fall into the drugs and alcohol trap that has snared so many before and since. But it is important to remember that others have not had an easy life ( Tina Turner and Ike ), and didn't see the need to hide in a bottle. Still, Barry Manilow is an example to them all.

    Forced vocals as he aged. Don’t understand why he sang like this. Listen to the Midnight Special live performance of this song from 1975. It’s stunning.

  • @444farrah
    @444farrah 11 лет назад +1

    Don`t you hear the screaming of a Madonna; or Del Ray or Willams. Screaming was never meant the same, as singing in clear tones.
