- The song "Copacabana (At the Copa)" by Barry Manilow is a Latin-pop song that tells the story of a showgirl named Lola and her lover Tony, a bartender at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City. The song was released in 1978 and was a huge commercial success, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and winning Manilow a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
The song's lyrics are told from the perspective of a narrator who is reminiscing about Lola and Tony, and the Copa itself, during its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s. The narrator describes Lola as a beautiful and talented showgirl who is adored by everyone at the club, including Tony. Tony was a handsome and charming bartender who was equally smitten with Lola. The two fell in love and were married, and they lived happily ever after.
However, the song's ending is bittersweet. The narrator reveals that Lola is now old and faded and that the Copa itself is no longer the glamorous nightclub it once was. But despite the changes, the narrator still cherishes the memories of Lola and Tony and the love they shared.
"Copacabana (At the Copa)" is a nostalgic and romantic song that captures the essence of a bygone era. It is a reminder of a time when the Copa was the hottest spot in town, and when love could be found in the most unexpected places.
Many artists have covered the song over the years, including Cher, Gloria Estefan, and the Swedish pop group ABBA. It has also been featured in several films and television shows, including "The Birdcage" and "Copacabana," a 1994 musical starring Barry Manilow himself.
The song was inspired by a real-life couple.
In the early 1970s, Barry Manilow was visiting the Copacabana nightclub in New York City when he saw an elderly woman sitting alone at the bar. She was wearing a faded showgirl costume and had a sad look in her eyes.
Manilow struck up a conversation with the woman, who told him that she had been a showgirl at the Copa in the 1940s. She had been married to a bartender at the club, but he had died many years ago.
Manilow was deeply moved by the woman's story, and he decided to write a song about her. That song became "Copacabana (At the Copa)."
The song's lyrics are not a direct account of the woman's life, but they are based on her story. Lola, the showgirl in the song, is a composite character of the many women who worked at the Copacabana in the 1940s and 1950s.
Manilow has said that he wrote the song as a tribute to the showgirls of the Copa, and to the love that they shared with their partners. He also wanted to capture the nostalgia of the club's golden age.
