- Barry Manilow performs "I Write The Songs" live from The 1978 BBC Special.
The year is 1978. In the US, Barry Manilow is on top of the pop charts.
Even Now featuring the hit singles “Even Now", “Can’t Smile Without You”, “Copacabana", and “Somewhere In The Night” is released.
The Second Barry Manilow Special airs on ABC. Barry Manilow In Concert is released as the first big musical special on HBO.
Across the pond in the UK, however, Barry is still a relative unknown. But the buzz is growing.
He’s booked for his first shows in the UK…two nights at the London Palladium. Those two nights sell out and four more nights are added. Those four nights sell out.
British impresario Robert Patterson and his young assistant, Andrew Miller decide to roll the dice.
They call the BBC.
They book Manilow at the Royal Albert Hall and turn his concert into a two part TV special.
So begins a beautiful love affair between Manilow and his British fans.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Verse 2]
My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Bridge]
Oh, my music makes you dance
And gives your spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's from me
It's a worldwide symphony
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Outro]
I am music (music) and I write the songs

No one sings this like Barry - He's the Boss. Thank God he's still performing, he is without question one of the absolute top, all-time greats. We shall not see his like again!
Barry makes me feel young again, even though I'm very old.
I see what you did there!
Me Not Very Old But Thanks To God Im Getting There🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
61
Age is merely a number. We can't control what happens to us. But we can always control how we react.
Even though we're very old, we have beautiful memories, thanks to this wonderful man 💖
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform on Friday at radio city music Hall. His music saved my life as a child. When my parents were fighting arguing, I would lock myself in my room and play my fathers albums to drain the screams out I’m 51 years old today and I cried like a baby when he came out, this was my number one. Wish was to see him perform live. I took my daughter with me that’s 31 years old and it made me feel so good when she started singing your songs and you all the words put me because I did that she grew up, listening to his music because of me. Barry, you will never know how much your music that’s affected my life and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that that was the best concert I’ve ever been to and I had the best time of my life on Friday. Thank you Barry Manilow thank you Barry Manilow.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same childhood story...but this song made me think that someday I'd find a way to write my own song of my life for the betterment of me and the world ❤
Felt❤️ almost 50 years old and the exact same thing when I was a kid❤️
56 and I'd lock myself in my room as a kid singing his songs to feel safe ❤
I experienced the same thing, but every time I listen to this song, I always try to bring the best happiness to the family
At most it's just the wife who often gets angry with the children, but every Saturday and Sunday, the four of us are obliged to go out together, eat deliciously together, and try not to make a fuss over the food.
I will always try to be a better father, I don't want to repeat the suffering I experienced in my childhood
I will write a good history for the family I built, I will make the family happy before I breathe my last breath
Barry at his prime. Happy, confident and over flowing with talent.
one of the beauriful chest voices i have ever heard😊
He’s still great
Ain't that the truth! Breathtaking.
I became a professional lyricist because of this song. Thank you Barry❤
I am and feel the same , check my Lyrics out on amazon kdp....I am writing a lyric inspired by this song,,this was written by a Beach Boy,,,,
Are you serious?!! I love this reply! Best reply ever!!!
@@scaredsinger0808 //I'm hoping my books sell on KDP, Bruce Johnson wrote this song, I've seen Barry in Concert,,
Congratulations ❤
He sure does sing the songs that make this world to put a smile in one’s heart.
please if you receive any message from any one impersonating with my identity in any of my social media platforms I urge you to stay off their part my Communication Authority are working on them.❣️❣️💖💖💯💯
Barry Manilow is the greatest showman! I feel for people who don’t understand Barry because they are missing the best of the best.
A Fanilow over 40 years 💗💗💝💝
We are proud Maniloonies 🙂💗
You're so right. I have just seen him again in Manchester UK - he was absolutely amazing!!! Some people laugh but they certainly don't know what they have missed x
Me too me too. My friends made fun of me but I didn’t care, he was and is the best
I have ❤️ed Barry Manilow for over 40 some years and all because my mom introduced me to his music and also the Carpenters too😊
A memory came to me.. it hit me so vividly.. .. a big television with wood trimming.. and I ..a young young child kneeling in front of it... Watching this with big big eyes..
Today, these lyrics would be perceived as the height of narcissism.
In my day, the artist was a grateful, one of many.
Would they though? The song is about music, not about Barry. Barry is singing as music personified, what music would sing about.
@@WestOfEarthcorrect
Total Barry Fan!!! FOREVER!!!!
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?❤❤❤❤
It is precisely two years since this was posted, synchronistically.
I remember hearing this on PA systems when it was popular, and it was unavoidable. In those days pop music was unavoidable.
I was a student of classical 'cello and a freshman in college.
Listening to the words I thought, then, how arrogant to write as if all music comes from this one human. . .
I did not know Manilow went to school where he did. I dismissed it as an overplayed pop earworm.
But today I stumbled onto this video for the first time and really listened, and looked at the song from a different perspective, from an archetypal POV.
With the orchestra, live, hearing that last held vowel and his powerful voice, and I have to thank him.
This is a great song, most meaningful lyrically, and it isn't just the young girls who respond with tears.
Thank you Barry Manilow, musicians and crew, thank you all.
I get all leaky-eyed when I watch this. Barry, dear, my life's soundtrack is FILLED with your songs.
This song, along with "One Voice" were instruments of racial harmony when I was in middle school. We would ALL sing your songs together in choir and then, when the bell rang, our harmonies would spill out through the hallways and others would join in!
Bless you bless you bless you!!!!
You just don’t get talent like this any more. The apex of vulnerability. The risks he takes with the change of key and everything even just being him and his piano at times. His back up singers were amazing and so was the band. The audience didn’t know they were going to witness musical perfection that night but they did.
I would have given anything to watch this when I was 12. I just loved him so much. And he wasn’t really a teen idol so there weren’t many pictures of him or anything. He never came to my area in concert either. But this would have made me so happy. That love I felt at 12 still lingers and I’m now 58
Qué lindas palabras ❤
I fell in love with Barry's songs when I was 15yrs old in 1978! I'm 58 and still a huge fan❤❤❤❤
Me too!
@@gretchengreco56 Same. Same exact age as you and still a fan.

@@elonmusk603 But you´re a fake!!
Barry has been making us feel good for 50 years. People that don't know him and his music are greatly impoverished.
Keep singing your sweet music
Right what a sweeheart and beautiful soul he is blessed be alwais 🥺😪❤💕💘💖💝💞💟❣💌💫
My goodness what an up song was this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is a fair boast that he writes some of the songs that make the whole World sing 😁
Fwiw, Manilow did not write this song.
Bruce Johnson
It seems at this part of his career, Barry appeared to have a sort of natural peace of mind. I hope that was true as he truly was his own man.
I sang this song as a high school senior on a local fundraiser telethon in Omaha back in 1977. Pretty sure I have not felt that cool since then!!
A talented singer songwriter brilliant voice im lucky to have been a teen growing up in 70's it was a magical decade love you Barry for all the wonderful memories i will cherish! forever!
❤❤❤Yeah, he is GREAT❤❤❤
You are the greatest showman of all time. 💓❤️💖
Are you a cougar?
Thank you...Merry Christmas 🎄
Sad to not make the show in Vegas due to a race! Good to see him still performing
Love this song
Thank you for loving my music ❤️❤️
Yes, indeed, your home lies deep within me, and you've got your own place in my soul. I'd have it no other way.
Really....how are you doing!
Barry....I do NOT know why critics said that this song is pompous. It is a song and I hate to tell you this but you do write the songs, which means that that line is true. Take that critics of Barry Manilow.................Betsy PS --- What do they know anyway. We people are the ones that have annointed YOU ARE THE MUSIC............BB
Barry sang it in 1978 and can still make emotional 🥺 in 2022 🥰😭💙
Sounds like a song that once the heavenly choir master would have written...
Barry has one the most sensational male vocals in the world of music…and it never gets old💜💜💜
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?❤❤❤😊
Dear God,
If I cannot trust Barry Manilow, who writes his own songs and sing them loudly for all too hear, who can I trust?
Thank You Barry Manilow for being yourself. I admire you! AMEN!
Let the music play on and who is the music man?.... Not ME, it's YOU!
I have a good friend who sings this song and it's an amazing song and not many people can pull it off
The GOAT 😊
Great performance from the time we first met Barry! I remember watching his special shows on Saturday nights when I was a girl.

If I die before I wake, I thank God for great music. Thank you for helping me with great music and I realize that I am a fool if I steal from you. Is it OK for me to sing your songs out of love? Just asking and I don't want to go to jail, but I will if I have too!
Great to see this! I was at the evening performance. We only had a few hours' notice, and the tickets were free. Was way up high ... perhaps they were filling up the seats for the BBC special. Anyway, it was great.

My favorite Barry Manilow song
Still listening to Bazza after all these years...some of his tunes soundtracked important stages of my life
I was fortunate to see him in my city, maybe 10-12 years ago. It was a gift, the best gift I ever got. ❤❤
To Mr. Barry Manilow , Sir , you really are the very best .
You're amazingly talented Barry, and I've enjoyed your music since I was very young. Ty so much for the wonderful music and all the great memories it brings. I will ALWAYS love you. I wish I could've met you and seen you in person when you came to Lynn, Massachusetts. That's where I live. God Bless you Barry, now and always!!
Barry, meu Barry você é fenomenal! Sua voz, sua presença de palco, seu sorriso tudo...tudo em você é maravilhoso!!! Sempre I love ❤️ you meu Barry! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

@@mandymanilow65 vai procurar uma trouxa de roupa pra lavar! Eu faço o que eu quero quanto a falar da minha nacionalidade, não te devo nada ok? Patética é vc que pelo visto, não tem respeito pela ações dos outros, quando elas não te dizem respeito.
¿Sabes dónde está Brasil? No creo que hayas estado nunca aquí. Nos gusta ser reconocidos como un pueblo amable, ¿entiendes?@@mandymanilow65
Ey 😊
I saw him in concert in 1982. I've been a Fanilow since the beginning.
Can't help but smile listening ! takes me back a few years 78 i was 10 ! my parents got a brand new travel trailer around 81 anytime we went maybe 2 or 3 times a summer my mom had every Barry album on tape got a good education in music !
What can I say, Barry's a hottie. His eyes and nose melted my heart at 16, now I'm 60 and he still makes me wish I had a clone of him. LOL
Yep, those eyes are to die for. Even now at age 79, he still looks good.
This throws me back to high school.
Wow I'm speechless
One greatest classic hit song in my Jr high school days back then. In my music class use sing up town back then. Lots great memories lane Thank You 🙏
Thanks for the love and support I've a handful
