Barry Manilow’s unparalleled career encompasses virtually every arena of music, including performing, composing, arranging and producing. A Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Manilow has triumphed in every medium of entertainment. Industry charts rank him the undisputed Number One Adult Contemporary Artist of All Time with record sales exceeding 65 million world-wide. This pop icon has written hundreds of songs and performed around the globe thrilling millions of fans, winning a Grammy, an Emmy, several Tony Awards and an Oscar nomination along the way.

Manilow’s roots are in Brooklyn, New York, where music was an integral part of his life. By the age of seven, he was a budding artist taking accordion lessons and playing on a neighbor’s piano. Deciding to make music his career, he attended New York College of Music and Julliard still working in the mailroom at CBS to pay his expenses.

In 1972, Manilow met Bette Midler and became her music director, arranger and pianist. Later that year, Manilow signed with Bell Records (later Arista Records) to record his debut solo album. In 1974, the release of Mandy launched an unprecedented career and 25 consecutive Top 40 hits including Even Now, This One’s for You, Weekend in New England, I Write the Songs and Tryin’ to Get the Feeling Again. Four years later, five of Manilow’s albums were on the charts simultaneously — a record rivaled only by Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis.

I write the songs that make the whole world squint. I write the songs they can't quite see. I write the songs that turn the young squirrels gay. I write the songs, I write the songs.

Barry Manilow's unparalleled career encompasses virtually every arena of music Ha, epic. Granted this isn't something I'll readily admit to fellow classic rock lovers and metalheads, but Barry has a mellifluous voice. I'm a closet fan.
