The 73-year-old music icon tells ET how the two kept their relationship from the public for nearly 40 years.
I don't care who he sleeps with. I still love him as a singer, piano player and performer.
ME 2!! I've loved Barry since I was 6 years old!! I love him for his talent, for his awesome songs and his voice! Also he's a New Yorker like me!! =)
My thought exactly! He’s Awesome! I’ve been a loyal fan since 1078! ❤
To be together for forty years and happily married? You are just a beautiful soul!
its great to see isnt it a happy couple after all these years, especially in the entertainment world
About the time you finally found your soul mate l was rocking my three babies who are now adults and going to your concerts. They all thought your music was lullabies when l would rock and sing them to sleep to my then eight track tapes lol. I'm a few years younger than you but your music got me though some very hard times. Losing my high school sweetheart to Vietnam was very hard for me so l rebounded and married just to bury my memories of my first and only love. I was a single mom at 24 with three babies 18 months apart. You got me though so much heartache Mr. Manilow when l fell in love with your music and incredible voice that you have been blessed with!!SWEET HEAVEN is also one of my favorites. I seen you four times in concerts and actually got a pass to meet you after your show but it suddenly got cancelled. I'll always dream of doing a duet with you but now l need vocal cord surgery. Always did know that you were a private person and your sexual preference that is your own damn business and just between you and your spouse. Sing on Manilow and I'll keep dreaming that this surgery I need soon will restore my voice so somehow l can get to another concert of yours ln Indiana or Illinois where I've seen you perform four wonderful times. Thank you for making smile every time l get in my car and pop in a CD of yours 😏
Good for him! Everyone deserves to be happy.
And more longe programs or interviuws please come on
I love him PERIOD ❤️
I love Barry, very much just met him back in November, l met Barry Manilow the person, not anything else, l love him eighter way A child of the most high God just like the rest of us are!!
I love this man
Ummm . . . so he's just now OFFICIALLY come out as gay and married to his partner of 40 years? I'm confused because I always thought it was pretty-well known from the start that he's gay. I mean, c'mon! He played for Bette Midler in the bathhouses! How much gay-er can ya get?!
I love Barry. I had zero idea for the last 45 yrs he was gay lol. Oh my gosh I love him so much. ♥️🥰
We knew he was gay in the 1970's from a song he sung on his "This Ones For You" album. All the time I thought There's only me
Crazy in a way
That no one else could be
I would have given everything I own
If someone would have said you're not alone
All the time I thought
That I was wrong
Wanting to be me, but needing to belong
If I had just believed in all I had
If someone would have said you're not so bad
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
All the time I thought
There's only me
Crazy in way that no one else could be
I can't believe that you where somewhere too
Thinking all the time there's only you
All the time, all the wasted time
All the years, waiting for a sign
To think I had it all
All the time
He was married to a woman. So he’s bisexual.. sad really. God will judge.
@@elainekomara8555 sounds like you are.
@@elainekomara8555 mind your own sin.
His sexual orientation has nothing to do with his brilliant musical talent. It amazes me how he plays the piano and doesn’t even look at the keys. He can play and sing any song. His music is beautiful and that is why he is so loved by everyone.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the people who wrote the article for "Nicer Day" with this video, must have been the only ones any where who didn't know. We all knew years and years ago, it was obvious. But he sure could and can sing.
Barry Manilow e Garry Kief: Deus os abençoe sempre e sempre! Amo Barry e suas músicas...Fan Forever!
I wonder why so many of the fine art performers prefer same sex partners ? You have to think it originates from boundary / self discipline .
WHAT HE IS GAY?!?!?! NO WAY! He was like known as a huge tough guy and old bar fighter since the early 70’s. I just can’t believe it
Most of Barry's fans new years ago he was gay. Who cares? Good for Barry and Garry. Barry is a legend and a great singer/songwriter, performer, producer and that's what means most to his fans.
I love Barry no matter what
Yeah, I have known for a very long time, does not change the fact I love his music.
I'm so happy for you. I believe that love is love, not matter who you love. Keep holding your head high. Congratulations on your marriage.
this people must to close that channel like many others,,,please,,,,,how could to allow that bunch of disgustins commens againts our barry or to report youtube,,,enough thats enoughs,,but its clear,,,,just cares money and to do many followers,,,,but barrydo not deserve that .....sorry wanted to say close comments,,,,what a shameless.....
I'm really happy for them!! They've been together for nearly 40 years. They're happy, they love each other. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
My marriage was a disaster since day one and lasted a painstakingly long 23 years. Why so long is nobody's business.
Anyway, the fact of the matter is you gotta be happy. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
I Hope some day coming out or being outted will not make the headlines anymore.
@@BigBewtieHoles so what? If this is your belief, don't do It, then. 😉
Just don't try to shove your beliefs down anybody's throat.
I thought everyone knew he was gay. at least he's happily married
I knew he was gay since day 1 and I thought, Who cares? I still think the same.
how did you "know" he was gay? this should be good.
LOL My husband would always ask, "Grace, How can you tell he (or anyone) is gay?" Well... I just know, it's not that hard...
Grace, agreed I didnt realise it was a a big secret, I thought everyone knew lol
Is Neil Sedaka any relation to Neil Sedaka?
I never would have suspected as Barry always appeared very masculine. I'm happy that Barry has been in a committed relationship for so long. He's a great performer.
WE LOVE YOU & HAPPY FOR YOU
Bernie Casey THAT'S TRUE!!! :)
Love. The. Commercial. Songs.and. love. His. Music.
Barry 💕
Feona Pokhrel 💞💕💓💘
Now I love him more!
I LOVE BARRY! Always have!
I love his music, I am gay and happy for him and Garry.
Just to let everyone know, don't think its a nice thing to keep bring it up about Barry and his private life. Leave him.alone!!!
lol who didn't know Barry!! we all knew ..I knew when it was a kid lol
Love you still barry when oct goes
That was a fear some had about him coming out, that suddenly his fans who were overwhelmingly women would suddenly stop being his fans if they knew. Instead we just said "who cares?" and just went on.
I know exactly when this happened! it was 1985 and Paul Gleason started raiding his wardrobe
Love you Barry and Gary speak man
Am I the only one who is tremendously sad for Barry?
Compare an interview with Barry to an interview with, say, Dick Van Dyke, and you'll see what true peace and happiness looks like:
no major health problems (hip replacement & heart condition),
aging gracefully; no plastic surgery,
no obsession with privacy (we naturally like to share more of our lives when we are not ashamed or afraid of being judged)
This kind of peace and natural grace comes from living a life in right-standing with your creator, according to God's design, not in rebellion to it.
The results are right in front of your eyes, if you have eyes to see.
Katherine. You must lead a very lonely life. Oh sorry you have god of course. Said before go say your prayers Barry is happy what would you know anyway Gail H
He's happy= I'm happy!
When is your next concert he said last year it’s his last tour l think he’s doing one again in 2018
Barry Manilow gay? who didn't see that one coming....😂😂😂😂
I personally didn't see that coming at all...I was shocked and surprised...I don't care about it, I just felt like I was kicked in the stomach is all...It was merely my surprised reaction is all...I simply didn't know and never thought about it in all the years he has performed...I guess I am innocent like that...
Didn't he come out a few years ago?
The older Barry gets, the more he looks like Reba MacIntire.
I never thought he was straight even though his songs suggested he was. He never seemed like someone who would appeal to women if not for his musical career.
He's gay????????????/// I never would have guessed that!
Barry Manilow/Liberace/Neil Sedaka/Elton John all have one thing in common then...
Been married to Lionel for 55 years it says here...
Why should it matter what your sexual preference is? I still love you and your music! Just don't like the plastic s urgery.
This explains his fear of triangles
Time to change Mandy to Randy
everybody knew he was gay since he started at the bayhs in new york
Love you
40 years think about everyone new he was gay why come out every one new it
❤️
um not at all surprised and good on him...just lay off the plastic surgery mate
Remember Sally met Harry. On the contrary, Garry met Barry. Forty years later, they decided to marry. I can't believe Barry has been so impure all these years. He knew he was sinning or he would not have been ashamed to come out with it. I've been a fan almost all my life. It has nothing to do with talent. He is very gifted and I will always love Barry Manilow. My favorite artist is Michael Jackson. I'm glad Barry didn't reveal this until he was very old. I own almost all his albums. Now what?
Mike your brother?
Now....nothing. Love is love. Still a huge fan. We've all known he was gay back in the 70s.
This is such a pathetic comment start to finish.
He wasn't 'sinning'. He didn't come out earlier because people were more narrow minded back then & it could have damaged his career. No-one cares these days.
@@sarahholland2600 Oh wow! This comment is from 7 years ago! He is very talented. I have most of his albums
SHOCK? Come on...... What disappoints me most are the horrible plastic surgeries he´s undergoing again and again.
Shit up ignoran bittet you do not have idea abaut his life .. stupids and Boring haters lossingnhis dirtys and disgustings time wrinting just shit againts a true human being..talented..musician arranger please move on your dirty chair and learn or study something or start to do good things for homelss people or kittens you must still much to learn ignorant blind and off trolls like you miserable jealous..,,😜🤐🤕
He is Bisexual!
Bisexual?in what way?
In what way? Duh. He had sexual and romantic relationship with Linda. Bi-sexual as hell.
Wasn't he in love with a woman once? Doesn't that make him bi?
I love you Barry and have since 1973.. what matters is that you are happy. I do not care that you are gay I want you to know I love you and your artistry no matter what
What has he done to his face?
bleepin' destroyed it
Old news Barry. we knew in the 70's
Why don´t you leave him alone?
bangem andleavem and now he looks just like YOU
He is an aging professional performer, he's a gay man, he's had plastic surgery; just like every single other aging gay pro performer. In that sense he looks completely normal. I notice it, but it doesn't phase me at all.
it was better for the $$$ to come in plus makin the old women believe they could have had him.
i wish them well
Wow was that supposed to be a secret??
Dam no way...Gay? Shit
Were you interested? Too bad
God Gary has changed so much he was so thin like Barry
I’m slightly confused. Barry said that he had fallen in love with his wife Susan Deixler. How could that be if he is gay?
He tried to he straight like a lot of gay men do. Elton John was also married it a woman.
how sad...WE ALL KNEW...from day #1 and we never cared. Live your life and be happy!!💙💜
God help you. I pray for you.
Barry Manilow is in a Civil Partnership not a marriage folks
JEEZ!
You hater creep go to the shit sick ignorant
Gross!
Hi Barry and Gary Thanks for your sweet music love to dance to
this is not True!
You know the world has gone into the toilet when you can't even trust Barry Manilow anymore.
If he is gay, why sing songs about women and only sing Can't Smile Without You with female fans only for decades?!
Russell Thompson The same reason Elton John and George Michael did it. It's a psycological situation based on society poor moral and poor mind
Because he brings talent as a man for fans. Like most artists who are gay look at me I am gay therefore like my music and idolize me. Barry concern for privacy because he cared about his fans. Any artists who brag about their wives I think it turns me off. Sometimes it's nice to fantasize about them without knowing if they have a mate or not. Whether he is gay or not same difference.
It seems that you are going to every Manilow interview and post the same complaint over and over, my advice, get over it. You sound like a jilted lover. Take your meds and go practice “You Made Me Love You” on your piano and try to heal your bitterness. There is hope for you. 🙏🏻
I'm so shocked I've always loved Barry its sickening brecks my heart
how miserable a man can be to say he didn't come out so far because he was afraid to disappoint his fans...he is a shame not to gays but to all humanity too.coward and ridiculous....
Sepehr Shafizadeh Was he your relative or something? You have a fear too, so don't judge someone just because of feeling fear. You can't understand how the world was for homosexuals in passed years, and still in XXI century there's hate
Guess what barry, the bible say's this."what does a man profit if gains the whole world , but loses his own soul" until you give your heart to christ and confess your sin's, guess what barry where you are going.
its disgusting hes lied for 40 years to his fans who he said he loves. He was with Linda Allen for years, Had an affair with Adrienne Anderson, claimed to be in love with Dana Robbins, hes bisexual, maybe next year he will be with a woman
You're right it is disgusting.
alison brown Why disgusting? The society has all the blame. He said it, he didn't want to say it cause he knew society has a trash mind. I understand him.
hes not 100 percent gay hes been with women
alison brown So what? A lot of people do things that isn't what they want. For example, David Bowie had been with man and he wasn't gay. Much easier example, some people go to church for please someone else, not because they like it. Some people study or have jobs they don't like but they do it, and it doesn't mean they are what they do. And nobody knows how it feels to be gay and come out. Boy George said people shouldn't reveal they're gays if this affects your life and work.
very wierd
The only thing worse than his awful plastic surgery is his music. Ugh.
Not true. I threw my Man low tickets in the trash
