Copacabanna is another great Barry choice. Really, he doesn’t have any bad songs.
Try “ I write the songs “ byBarry Manilow
Yes Copa is more upbeat that Jordan is looking for.
💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥 Copa is the up beat you NEED! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Yes,Yes,Yes
@@cnatview yes an upbeat song about murder. Lol
"I Write the Songs" is another one of his huge hits to check out.
and he actually did not write that song
He wrote this song about his cat that he gave away!😔
Ships...my personal favorite
@@sheilameyers152 Brandy
@@Gutts31 Glenn Campbell wrote it.
Barry Gibb, Barry White, Barry Manilow…I’ll take any Barry you’ve got to give. Those voices; so unique in each their own way.🥰
And no one's mentioned Barry Gordy either!
Well said!!!👍
Barry Goldwater
Barry Obama.
70's. Best time for music no matter WHAT you liked!
If we’re doing Barry Manilow then you simply cannot leave out any of Neil Diamond’s huge library!
Agreed! Neil Diamond and Engelbert Humperdinck. Two great singers!
Absolutely!! Hello My Friend, Love On The Rocks and Sweet Caroline
I prefer Neil over Barry.
@@dawngrant4918 both great, but for some reason my fav is Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show. I just love the energy of it I think.
Yes Neil Diamond.
He has quite a few hits to listen to - "Can't Smile Without You", "Copacabana", "I Write The Songs", and "Looks Like We Made It". He was popular in the 70's.
"Can't smile without you" in Hellboy II is one of my favourite scenes in any movie, absolutely wonderful moment
I would say “hugely popular” as a pop artist in the 70s.
Ironically, he didn’t write “I Write The Songs”.
Yes yes yes
Copacabana is definitely more upbeat than this.
I was overjoyed to see you reacting to Barry!!! He does NOT get enough love. He is often deemed 'corny', 'cheesy' or 'elevator music'. And admittedly he is what used to be called 'soft rock', but he's one of those artists that is a guilty pleasure for like 80% of people. They disrespect the man by keeping their appreciation closeted, but they low-key love him. And anyone who ever heard his biggest hits (I Write the Songs, being the most iconic, I feel), have at LEAST five songs that they secretly love.
I didn't get to see him perform until my mom bought me tickets for my 36th birthday, and suddenly I was 13 and fan-girling. Thank you so much for doing this reaction. Oh, and the reason I Write the Songs is so iconic and will probably be played at his funeral - is because of all the songs he did AND all the songs and jingles he wrote that everyone knows! The State Farm them music, the 'you deserve a break today' from McD's or the 'I am stuck on Band-Aid' - all Manilow! Sorry for the rant. I just love him. :) And yes, Yes, YES - please do more!
I totally agree
I'm new here so I don't know if you did anymore Barry or not but if you did not you gotta feel him sing "Even Now" and I don't know if there's a video of it out there but if so Darius Rucker is a huge Barry Manilow fan and does a no music just Darius and his heart belting out Even Now from deep within his soul.... FEELING IT!
His music has brought me through some hard times. I love the piano playing. He has so many thoughts of love and life and peacefulness. Barry’s music is sensational and he’s a great musician.
@@denisemorant1109 And the thing that really makes him phenomenal is that he didn't aspire to be a performer/entertainer. He was most interested in being a composer, arranger, producer but he sent in a demo of some songs he wrote and performed and was fast tracked into the lime light. The rest is history.
True story: back in the 70's yours truly and her contemporaries were hard rock devotees: KISS, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Sweet, etc. Guys like Barry Manilow were the constant butt of our jokes. Well, a couple of my friends got dragged to a Barry Manilow show by their aunties, grandmas, older female relatives, I forget exactly who, but anyway... they walked into that theatre as haters, but they walked out as fans!
Barry Manilow DEFINITELY deserves a spot on your WALL OF FAME!!! 🥰🥰
Yes for sure
Jiminy Christmas! Barry has been around a 100 years with a thousand hits. Astonishing that he's another "never heard of" artist. Keep broadening your horizon, kids!
I think Barry Manilow and Dick Clark discovered fountain of youth together.
Since Barry is supposedly gay, it might be he’s singing to Man-dy.!
He sings the Copacabana song, too.
And he still likes the same! Ha.
@@stevegirardmedia2255 I realize this is an old comment, but since nobody else updated you; Manilow married Garry Kief in 2014. They'd been a couple, and Kief had been his manager, since 1978. Manilow said he didn't come out for so long because he didn't want to disappoint his fans.
@@akinpaws Good for him. He deserves to live his truth; it's sad that he had to hide for so long. ✌️💙
Give it up for the Fanilows! I love that you're watching him while wearing AC/DC and Beastie Boys t-shirts. Just shows that great music is great music! Other tracks to hit are Copa Cabana (a total guilty pleasure banger), Weekend in New England (going to make you cry), Daybreak, It's a Miracle
@Rob Wolf...... I've been a Fanilow for many years!!!!
I thought the same thing! Kind of ironic! 😂
oh Weekend in New England.... definitely will make you cry!!
I have playlists that consists of both AC/DC and Barry.
I noticed the irony of the T-shirts too. Always humorous whenever that happens.
Love Barry Manilow. Nobody admits to being a fan but his albums always hit #1. I've seen him in concert twice, An incredible song writer and entertainer
FAN!
Yes he knows how to entertain as well as sing and play music. And compose. Amazing voice
If nobody would admit being a fan of Barry, nobody would show up at his concerts!
i admit it...I've loved him since I was a kid!
They made an episode of Family Guy where when they are at the bar, they all admit to being Manilow fans and they end up going to one of his concerts and he takes Quagmire up on stage and sings to him. It's hilarious! I'm not afraid to admit I'm a fan of him and ABBA.
L-E-G-E-N-D! Barry was the KING of the romantic ballad of the 1970s. I grew up with him and no one could touch him. He also did all of the piano and orchestral arrangements for his dozens of his singles and albums. At age 78, Barry is still a big star and is currently out in Las Vegas in a sold out residency at the Hliton. Barry did not write this particular song from 1974, although he wrote many of his hits. I recommend other hits "Could It Be Magic", "Even Now', "Looks Like We Made It", and "Somewhere Down The Road" (ballads) and "Copacabana" (a fun uptempo story-song)
You should also note that this song was originally titled "Brandy", but Barry got beat to the punch when another hit song called "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)". So he changed the title. Can't have confusion like that when you're writing hits, right? LOL!
This Rabbit Hole Is Very Deep. This Man Wrote The Songs The Whole World Sang!!!
Fact!
It's a world-wide symphony!!!
Actually he didn't. He didn't write any of his hits.
@@comicus6769 actually he did write about 100 hit songs. Some he used others were used by other artist.
He didn't write the song "I write the songs". The keyboard player from The Beach Boys wrote it.
Barry Manilow's whole career made people smile. His lyrics "I write the songs that make the whole world sing." Everyone loved BM in the 70's.
True. Ironically, the song you quoted from is one of the few that he did not write himself. ;-]
@@robertcartier5088, yep, written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys.
I must correct you. I Write the Songs was written by Beach Boy Bruce Johnston.
I dont believe Jay thought this was the 60s LOL Look at his hair and collar, A dead give a way lol This was the mid 70s Baby
And it wasn't a shock when this lovely talented man came out a few years ago.We ALL knew and not one of us cared.
Amber’s reaction to music is so genuine. She gives every song a chance, she immerses herself. Can’t fake that.
Mandy was a rescue dog that he had to return. I tried to teach myself how to play this song on the piano. It drove my kids crazy, but they know all the words and the wonder that is Barry Manilow. It's not always a woman!!
Barry Manilow has MANY hits. This was his first. Time In New England, Trying To Get The Feeling. I have his greatest hits DVD. So I am a Manilow fan. People love to put his music down.
Manilow is awesome and I will die on this hill.
People without a musical soul don't like anything. Every song ever written has never been liked by all. Enjoy your musical soul and forget the critics. Its about how it excites your inner spirit. Some have it and sadly some don't.
Time in New England is one of my favorites of all time.
I believe that they are called Fanilows
People put his music down because they catagorize him as an artist geared more towards the ladies. I listen to everything from Metallica to The Carpenters. I'm also a hugh fan of Doris Day's studio recordings, particularly 1956-66. So I could care less what narrow minded critics say. I like Manilow too.
J&A, You'll love his upbeat "Copacabana", "I Write The Songs", "Can't Smile Without You" and "Looks Like We Made It"
Yes- all of these!
Can’t forget Weekend in New England.
And Daybreak
All 4 of these are perfect suggestions !!
A lot of Manilow’s songs have a similar sound and feel. But that’s not a bad thing because his distinctive voice and songs are uniformly good.
Add “Ready To Take A Chance Again” and “Weekend In New England” to the list of songs you need to hear. He’s an amazing musician, songwriter and arranger, but he’s unfairly maligned as being a schlockmeister from the 1970’s
I named my Daughter Amanda so I could call her "Mandy" because of this song in 1983. She passed away in 2016 at 33 so this song means the world to me!!!!!!
Barry Manilow is an amazing songwriter and singer. He has many, many ,many beautiful songs but sometimes doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He’s a more recent crooner although he also has songs that are upbeat, one of which is Copacabana. The songs “Weekend in New England “, could it be magic ( covered by Donna Summer), I can’t smile without you are a few of my favorites.
Theme from American Bandstand is very upbeat you have to dance. It's the law!!
Barry Manilow was the king of the 1970s shamelessly over-the-top ballad. His hits almost always featured an uplifting key change -- often several key changes -- in the final choruses. "Weekend in New England" and "Looks Like We Made It" are two great examples from 1976.
Weekend in New England has been my favorite since I was a little girl.
You are SO CORRECT about the key changes! I remember taking music theory in high school. My teacher explained all the classical ways to understand a modulation. He said, "If you still can't really hear it, if it's too subtle for you to notice, just listen to some Barry Manilow." And ever since then, I've thought that THIS is the only way to put in a key change. Why be subtle? (For the uninitiated, imagine a song being in C Major. Suddenly the song is different, but also it's not: all the chord changes are the same, and so is the melody, but suddenly it's up higher in D Major. Or even higher! You can really feel that lift.)
By the way, I back up the "Weekend in New England" recommendation. It is one of the few, rare songs that became a hit with the title being nowhere found in the lyric of the song.
Those are two great Ballads. Just beautiful music.
I got a lot flack for Barry in my collection back in the day.This video is from the 70's.
Mandy, you came and you by gave without taking
Barry Manilow is a guilty pleasure for so many. He has a string of hits. Definitely do a deeper dive into his catalog!! 🎹
Many Manilow fans in the closet.
I do love Manilow, but I never tell any one.

He really is. I was a folk and Rock fan but loved Barry. All my friends made fun of p who liked him. So I have been a closet fan since the 80s. I'm 65 now. I reckon I can come right out and say I really do love Barry.
If you want easy on the ears.. James Taylor… pick any song, any record from 1970 to now. He’s a legend
Sweet Baby James, perhaps

Deep rabbit hole that goes all the way to Pooh Corner...😉
Yes!
When Barry Manilow wrote this song He Titled it 'Brandy', however at the same time a band called ' Looking Glass' came out with song with the same name, so Barry changed the title to 'MANDY'
It was written by Clive James I think.
At 9 or 10 years old, this song used to break my heart. The longing and loss in his voice was palpable. Good stuff, good memories
BM is the king of the Easy Listening genre. He has a huge catalog. “Weekend in New England” and “Somewhere in the Night” are 2 of my favorites. Very powerful.
Agree totally! My two favorite songs by him!
"Could it Be Magic" is THE BEST song Barry created and he's had major hits over the years.
By far.
That song, on the 1st listen way back then, made me say out loud, "I need to fall in love right now!"
@@parisbrat It's utterly BEAUTIFUL!
Absotively
Especially the 1975 "remake", or the Single Version. Same arrangement and length as the album original (no "play it" from Grandpa, though), just more musically refined and more confident vocally. Seems like it was put out as a double a-side with "I write the songs" ? My memory has faded about how it was released, but this is the "gold standard" version. Seek it out!!
Really enjoyed both your reactions. Barry Manilow, just had that voice.
"Looks like we made it" is fantastic! Also, the best earworm ever "Copacabana". Barry is one of the best songwriters of all time!!
You start off with a great one by Barry. Coppa Cabana by Barry is good too.
This man has too many hits to even begin recommending. This was in the 70's. He started as a jingle writer. I went thru an intense Manilow phase in my early adolescence (about 77/78) when my emotions were all over the place and his music is just pure emotion and romance.
He was also Bette Midler's pianist and they played in Bath Houses in New York in the early 70's
He wrote McDonald's TV ad. Remember, "You deserve a break today at McDonald's?" That was his.
🎶 like a good neighbor State Farm is there 🎵
🎵 I am stuck on Band-Aid cuz Band-Aid stuck on me! 🎶
I saw him in concert about 15 years ago and cried like a baby. I grew up listening to these beautiful songs. They hit me right in the heart.
Barry had all the tween girls swooning in the 70's & 80's. He's magnificent. If you love Manilow, you're a "Fanilow!"
Ha3x!, I like that "Fanilow". . .i was one of them before. 😊
Manilow used to play piano for Bette Midler before he hit it big Songs to listen to Could it be magic, can't smile without you, Daybreak Coupacaba. Last one I can't spell ...lol.Mandy was 1975.
I was going to mention that. Thanks for remembering, too.

You need to hear Barry sing "Weekend in New England".
‘Could it Be Magic’ is one of those songs that just carries your soul away to another place, you forget everything else. Thanks for covering him. You guys cover so much. All your fans appreciate you.
Barry picked me at his concert to dance to this song ❤ One of the best moments of my life 😍
@@trinakoch6240’m jealous !! One of my favorites too along with Mandy and ready to take a chance again.
I am a total 'FANILOW'! He ruled the radio from the mid 1970 through the early 80s. Barry had many ballads hits (Could It Be Magic, Weekend In New England, Even Now), uptempo hits (It's A Miracle, Copacabana) and iconic songs (I Write The Songs, Can't Smile Without You). BTW: "Mandy" was a #1 international hit in 1974.
Barry Manilow' Could It Be Magic is even better.
My favourite of his. Long version, totally engrossing.
Neil Diamond:
"Love on the Rocks" and "September Morn" also " I Am, I Said." All great songs to react to in my opinion.
Holly Holy. You will be a woman soon. Love on the Rocks
Sweet Caroline!
America, Forever in bluejeans, Longfellow Serenade, You Don't Bring Me Flowers (with Barbra Streisand) ... so-o-o many great Neil Diamond songs.

"Hello again", "Cherry baby", "Heartlight".
Oh man I have heard this song in so many years. It’s great to hear this again it’s probably been about 40 or 45 years since I heard this. Makes me realize that this tune is absolutely timeless.
I had forgotten how great it is. Hey, Barry was big time in the 70’s. Very popular.❤
In a 1978 interview Barry told a British interviewer that he wrote this song for his Beagle. However, the song was actually not written by Barry Manilow so it's thought that Barry was just being very tongue in cheek with the interviewer.
Ok. Lots of people poke fun at Barry but he is a legendary artist. His voice, piano playing and songwriting are incredible. Mostly he does love songs. Weekend in New England is my favorite.
Always love him and his music
A lot of people are sh1theads too. Manilow is talented and his songs are really catchy. They build and deliver. If you are driving in your car by yourself and this comes on. I bet you’re singing along. I think he use to accompany Bette Midler when she sang in NYC bathhouses. I like her too usually.
Weekend in New England: yes!
@@myrevival4325 YES !!!!
Weekend In New England is also my favorite song. Not just Barry's, but of any performer.
This song was my biological father’s song and my song to sing together when our family would get together and sing ( he said it reminded him of losing my mom- in their divorce) , my biological dad died when I was 12 and I remember the final time we sang it together. Years later I sang it in our High School talent show and barely got through it without crying. But with the help of my wonderful stepfather who sat right in front of me, I did( he knew how much this song meant to me). I’m so glad you chose this as your first Barry Manilow song. Thank you for the wonderful memories. God bless.
That made me tear up......such a beautiful memory to keep forever....at least partially because of Barry Manilow. God Bless you
Beautiful
Teared up, too. Peace, Erin, forever.
I got to see Barry in concert, that was so good.
This was the 70s. We listened to everything back then. Zepellin to Manelow!✌❤
And it was a BLAST

@@kenkubycheck3077 yeah but i had to get a fm converter!!!!😅
I think “Even Now” is great choice to continue this journey of Barry M.
Even Now is totally my favorite. Great recommendation.
Manilow is a legend. His best is "I Write the Songs", IMO. Y'all PLEASE listen to Neil Diamond's "I Am I Said" and "Solitary Man". His voice is heaven and totally unique.
Yes !!! I AM, I SAID ❤️
I've seen Barry Manilow at least 10 times in concert. He is an incredible showman. He sounds exactly the same live as in his records. He knows how to arrange a song like no other. His modulation is perfection. I love him!!
He’s called the ‘King of Crescendo’, his songs start out quiet and slow, then ends huge and powerful. ‘Can’t Smile Without You’ is a perfect example ✌🏼
Thats a great one...Can't smile would be my second fav after Mandy..Just because I was named after the song Mandy..My mom had a whole other name picked out and as I was born the song came on
In all my years I never heard that expression, but it's so fitting! Thanks for sharing.
I agree with the person who has suggested Neil Diamond. “Hello again” is beautiful it always makes me emotional 😭
So many great songs by niel diamond... today's favorite (changes almost daily 😄) is I've Been This Way Before 🤷♀️
Same, Neil Diamond is awesome - can't go wrong with his songs!
Hello Again was one of his biggest hits and was written by his wife Jennifer. She also went on to write the song The Rose.
Great song!
A few years ago I met a woman who was a fanilow and I often mocked her for it. I started calling her Mandy and as a joke i decided to learn this song on guitar and sing it to her. The joke was on me, what a song! The arrangement and especially the lyrics are so powerful. I play this all the time now. 😊
70s Baby.!!!! Yes.!
He has done Soo much . Give him a deep dive.! Love you guys keep on keeping on. Love yer Show.!!
Always loved Berry Manilow. Women were in love with him, but he plays for the other team. His career spanned more than 50 years. He did it all ...singer-songwriter, arranger, musician, producer and actor.
Now what Im gonna say was said back in the early 80's so no disrespect to anybody but i use to have a boss that was so in love with Barry Manilow and when anybody would say that he was gay she would say, I volunteer to go find out for sure!!!🤣🤣
Turns out Mandy was Randy.
The dude is 78 and still doing concerts. No one can contain the legend of this Barry!
My mother used to listen to him back in the 70s. I love how so many of his songs are storytelling and poetic. They rise to a crescendo with a lovely descent at the end. His songs are art.
Barry was my go to for listening pleasure in the 70s. Anything he sings is awesome.
Barry was popular mid to late 70's.. His songs mostly always starts out soft and crescendos toward the end.. like a big finish. "Time In New England" is one of my favorites by Barry.
Richard Marx is another great piano/singer. "Right Here Waiting" and "Hold On To The Nights" are excellent reaction videos
My #1 too!
Barry has tons of hits. He began as a commercial jingle writer. He’s amazing. One Voice is my personal favorite. He layers his own voice in amazing harmonies using his “one voice”.
Love VSM
LOVE Barry Manilow! Beautiful songs and voice
Try Weekend in New England, Can't Smile Without You, I Write the Songs....He had Beautiful songs I know you guys would love too 💕I really hope you guys try another one soon...I love watching you ❤️
Why are there so many Iconic singers named Barry? Don't know but I'm so thankful that there is.😊
Barry! Now here's a rabbit hole to explore - he has so many great songs. My absolute favorite of his is 'I Made It Through The Rain' - it came out around the same time that I finished a long childhood cancer battle. It's my survivor song. 🙂🎗
Barry Manilow was my favorite!!! He was the king of the ballads in the 1970s and is one of the most successful musical artists ever. He took a lot of crap in the early years because he wasn't considered "cool" but his fandom was legion! He's had so many hit songs and in later years (the late 80s and 90s) he did other genres like jazz and blues. He still tours, but as what happens with age, the voice isn't the same. Still, he's a legend!

He wrote the songs that make the whole world sing! He writes the songs of love and special things! He writes the songs that make the whole world cry! He writes the songs! He writes the songs! My bestie, Mandy was named after this hit song, born in 1975. She hates the song, but it’s so beautiful. My Momma was the ultimate Manilow fan. She just passed very unexpectedly in June. Just a couple weeks before, on Mother’s Day, she told me one of the best days of her life, the best gift, was when I got her tickets for Christmas to see him together. We had a fancy dinner at the venue before it started and got to listen to him warming up. I always teased her about him and rolled my eyes about going, but I grew up listening to him, so knew I’d least know the songs. Let me tell you, that ended up being one of the top few concerts I’ve been to and I’ve been to A LOT in 47 years. Superior performance, the nostalgia, just beautiful. I played “Can’t Smile Without You” and “When the Good Times Come Again” at her funeral. I’m still deciding on a headstone for Momma and I’m going to incorporate an image of Barry’s white grand piano on it with music notes swirling up towards the clouds/heaven. RIP momma
Hard to imagine someone not loving this song. I took my Mom to her first and only concert back in the 80s. It was Barry and needless to say, she loved it too. RIP to your wonderful momma.
My daughter will tell you how much of a Barry Manilow fan I am. I have loved this man since I was 13/14 yrs old I am 57 now and he's still the man..Luther Vandross was asked when he wants to set the mood who does he put on? He said Barry Manilow
Many many years ago 🤣 my Girl Scout Troop (we were around 8 or 9) did a recital to Barry Manilow. Will never forget my mom trying to choreograph it. Good memories.
Best songs are "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "I Write the Songs", "Can't Smile Without You". But my personal favorite is "Copacabana".

Good mom, for sure.
@@psmguy63 she had a lot of patience for sure.
This is a real treat to watch, Manilow is an ICON! Please do more of him soon:
Time In New England, Looks Like We Made It, Copacabana, I Write The Songs, Could It Be Magic
The great Manilow, his voice is just so pure and sweet and also great piano player. Oh, how I miss the 70s. He’s up there with Barry Gibb.
He started in the 70's I believe but he is still performing now.
“I write the songs”, “Ready to take a chance again” and “Could it be magic” are another few tracks from Barry Manilow.
I played "Could it be the magic" for my friends (when the album came out) and my friends were blown away!!!
Ironically he didn't write 'I Write the Songs'.
C’mon! The man wrote the Dr. Pepper jingle:
I'm a Pepper.
He's a pepper.
She's a pepper.
We're a pepper.
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m a Pepper! Been nearly my whole life! Now days I am a Diet or Zero Sugar Pepper, thanks Type 2 Diabetes! But still a Pepper none the less!
This is my favorite Barry Mannilow song (1974)! He was huge in the seventies! He was everywhere!❤❤
A met a guy in the 90s who worked on mtv unplugged. He had signed albums from EVERYBODY and in his role spent about a week with all the artists. I asked him who was the coolest person or group, expecting him to say nirvana or the stones, etc. Without a beat, he said Barry Manilow was hands down the best artist he ever worked with. The most fun and with a great sense of humor.
This is 1974. Barry has been going at it ever since, through today
Barry was Bette Miller’s piano player for years before he went out on his own. Copacabana and Weekend in New England are great songs of his that you’d like.
I was heavy into Barry Manilow; I have his first vinyl and about 7 more thereafter. Went to his concert and it was special. Glad you enjoy his music.
"Can't Smile Without You", "Copacabana", "I Write The Songs", are worth a nice listen
If you’re looking for an upbeat song by Barry Manilow that tells a story, it doesn’t get much better than Copa Cabana.
Yeah I mean Copacabana is certainly an upbeat tempo song but have you listened to the lyrics?!? I never paid much attention until a couple of years ago playing the song for a co worker ... those lyrics go a bit dark! The lyrics aren't upbeat!
@@molsongrrrl Yes, definitely meant to say uptempo, not upbeat. LOL!
A true songwriter. Maybe the “catchiest” song writer ever. Even wrote McDonalds commercial jingles.
Dont forget the I was stuck on band-aids commercial jingles as well
Pretty sure he wrote 'and like a good neighbor, State Farm is there..."
And “I’m a Pepper your a Pepper wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?”
Dr. Pepper👍
He also wrote and sang American bandstand, Dick Clark!
Didn’t write this song. The original is called Brandy but same words same melody. I can’t remember his name Something English, Scott maybe. So he changed Brandy to Mandy.
Saw him live at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall back in the 80's. I'm a lot older now, but I never get tired of his songs.
barry manilows voice has that silky sweetness to it.
Yes, finally. Barry Mailow is so insanely talented. So glad you decided to do this one!

Congratulations! Y’all have now entered the world of Barry Manilow! He is so good but he is still performing!
Just one of his many love songs. He wrote them and for other singers. 70's. So great for us!
This song was out my freshman year in college, and it really takes me back to that time - thank you for this one! (btw, Mandy was actually his dog - who doesn't love a man who writes a song about his dog?? ❤) (my mom went nuts for Barry)
My brother-in-law wrote a two page obituary for his dog. And the newspaper printed it. My sister is hoping for the same respect.
Y'all stepped into a gold mine with this guy. He really did write the songs that make the whole world sing, like his song said.
Ironic that his biggest hit was the song Love on the Rocks, which was written by Patti Kristoff.
Except he didn’t write that song that made the world sing lol
@@jerryboese8820 how ironic. I just looked that up. You're right.
he didnt write 'mandy' either, it was scott english
@@trhansen3244 That was Neil Diamond.
About a week ago he was at that NYC concert when the storm came up while he was in the middle of singing. And what was so amazing ... he looked no different than he did in the day. A true class act!
Andis rain song was next song before the rain stopped the concert
This is one of my favorites of all time since I was a child and I'm 51 now
He is still performing in his 80's I have been to several of his early concerts late 60's n 70's. This is my favorite song of his n even named my cat Mandy I play this song on my piano all the time. 3 other favorites are Looks Like We Made It, I Write The Songs n Could It Be Magic. Barry, Elvis, John Denver n Righteous Brothers were part of my life. I met Barry once, John 9 times, Righteous Brothers 2 times n got to be friends with Charlie Hodge Elvis confident n best friend for years after Elvis died. N I went to the Aloha concert 1973. I have always loved your reactions Keep the videos coming
“Copacabana” and “It’s a Miracle” are both more upbeat songs.
Copacabana is a fun song!
@@laurel1634 A fun song... about love, cheating, sex, and murder. Brilliant. lol
The upbeat music hides the true darkness of the lyrics.
Cops over played (but not for them). Miracle is awesome.
I'm not sure I would call Copacabana upbeat. Kokomo by the Beach Boys is upbeat, Copacabana is kind of sad, like Delta Dawn (well done, but sad).
Barry's "Copacabana" - yup, so much fun. And you'll be dancing in your seats. And it's storytelling, too!
My favorite song from that time I was 13 school dance,one of the happiest time of my life, ❤️ thanks guys 🥰
First heard this when I was about 9..I STILL get a pleasant shiver up my spine when I hear it .
He was HUGE in the 70's! So many hits..He signed my sister's cast on her broken leg at one of his concerts👍 More Barry please!!
I've been a fan a long time. Some of my favorites are "I Write the Songs", "Can't Smile Without You", "Copacabana", "Looks Like We Made It", "Ships", "Weekend In New England", "Could It Be Magic", "I Made It Through the Rain" and "Somewhere In the Night". Barry started out by writing jingles for commercials. He wrote Band-Aid “I'm stuck on Band-Aid brand, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!”, State Farm - “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”, KFC - "It's a finger-lickin' good day", among others.
I know this is two years ago, but one of my favorites of his is, "Somewhere Down the Road". This song always chokes me up.
Early 70's, I remember my very cool aunt listening and swooning over Barry Manilow. He was quite a performer and songwriter. he wrote a lot of commercials too.
American Bandstand, Jump Shout Boogie, he covers a lot of styles. :D Mandy was around 1974 or so, iirc.
