Barry Manilow Talks Coming Out, New Music And Success Of ‘Copacabana’ | TODAY
I've been a Barry Manilow fan since I first heard "Mandy" as a kid in 1973, and still a big fan. His music reminds me of great times and first loves. Peace and happiness to Barry and his husband.
At 64 years old, I’m still listening to Barry Manilow . And still able to remember all the word’s to every song . Thank You
He looks like a very nice guy despite all the fame. Wonderful music.

I will always love, respect and care about Barry and his music. Some of the best memories of my life has been down to his beautiful voice, his kindness, his goodness.
He seems a genuinely nice guy, and love his songs 😁😁
He is truly a legend. His body of work speaks for itself. So many great songs.

He is my ultimate favorite artist since the 90’s, I was actually late to get to know his songs but he became my favorite eversince and his music really tags my heart everytime I listen to his songs. His voice is really one of a kind and the best during his prime. I wish he can touch more lives. Godbless u Barry Manilow!

I grew up with Barry starting in 1973, it's been a wonderful ride of Beautiful Music. I knew of Barry's sexual orientation many years ago and it never swayed me for a second from loving this great man and his in incredible music. Love you forever Barry. 💓
Congratulations on a 40 yr marriage. Grew up w ur music. Love you and ur music

I started listening to Barry when I was still in school. I don’t remember how old I was. But I know it was in my teens. My favorite album that he did was the greatest songs of the 60s. I still have that album. Barry is awesome! Ya gotta Love him.
Mr M is just incredible! Love him!
Linda Jackson love him too God bless Manilow
Linda Jackson love him too God bless Manilow
Maria Theresa Sy You mean Fagilow don't you ?!

My younger days are all backlit by Barry. He even came to my university and did a concert! ❤️❤️❤️ His album was the first I ever owned. What an amazing man. 💃
Love Barry Manilow. Always
I Loved Barry Manilow,he is one of the great singer of all time,and I grew up all of he’s Songs Great Happy memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Barry is doing great and has an awesome sound !!
One of the greats - been listening since I heard "Beautiful Music" all those years ago from the third album ("Tryin' To Get The Feeling," 1975). 42 years later, at the ripe old age of 48, I still think his music is some of the greatest in the "Great" American songbook. Awesome musician, singer, composer, and arranger. Cheers! :)
Alex Oliver ....Alex,I just turned 48 as well and I have been a huge Barry Manilow fan as well! !
LEGEND! My deeply respect to Mr Manilow as an artist and as a person.
I was only 21 or 22 when I saw you perform at South Shore Tahoe at Harvey’s I believe. It was all my office staff lol! I was the youngest. You put on a magnificent show, I’ve never forgotten. You are quite the intertwined. Amazing, I’m 67 now. Thank You!!❤️the show.
Legendary musician.
Nothing but RESPECT for Barry Manilow!! Genius musician, ICON! Every song was EPIC! ❤❤
Barry is the greatest; a fantastic musician, singer, and person. He's charitable, kind, and talented beyond words. God bless Barry and Williamsburg, the neighborhood where my late father grew up about 10 years before Barry did.
I have been a Barry Manilow fan since the 70s. One of the first songs I fell in love with was "I write the song."
Congratulations on your marriage!!! 40 years of togetherness is incredibly beautiful 💙💙👬

I love him! And he once recorded a song in Portuguese ! As a Brazilian whose first language is Portuguese, I was flattered!
I'm sure he did it just for you. ;) My mom went to a Barry Manilow concert and said, "Even though I was in the back row of the stadium, it was obvious he was singing to me." Barry has that effect! :D
Happy new year, Mr.Barry Manilow! God bless you...Happy 2022!
Says a lot about a celebrity who's been married to one person for 40 years. Barry is very humble.
the legend Manilow.
I think Barry is 74 years old. Kudos to his P.S..
Been a fan for 45 years
Barry is a class act!

I've loved Barry and his music for 50 years!!
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY BARRY MANILOW !!!
I grew up all of he’s Songs Happy Memories
Foul Play (Goldie, Chevy and Dudley)...a rollicking '70s comedy with Barry singing Ready to Take a Chance Again during the opening credits. The best.....
Always ready to help and see others grow in their field of choice.
I love Barry Manilow, and I have loved him for over 50 years. He is great but I was shocked on his face. It looks to have had far too much surgery that his lower part and mouth is a restricted.. but as long as he still sings as good. His music brings back so many good and sad memories.. he feels the words and music in his voice. Love it!
His music got me through being away from home for the first time (college). Great talent! Wonderful human! ❤
I have followed barry for 50 years!!!
the consumate profesional.. global treasure..God Bless Barry
I’ve been a huge fan for 40+ Years! So Great!
Feliz Ano Novo, Barry Manilow! Deus o abençoe sempre...Feliz 2022 para você e sua Família, Barry! FAN FOREVER ❤❤🌹🇧🇷
Para sempre sua fã, Mr. Barry Manilow! Amo você e suas músicas...Voce é SHOW!
So gracious and warm.
My only heartache is...I always wanted to marry him! Lol!
Memory uma de minhas músicas favoritas: mas gosto de todas. Apenas Memory me transporta à minha infância com minha família!
Lovely. Just lovely.
I'ma huge music fan and love to read about the stories " behind the music " so to speak. I read if I recall correctly that Barry stated out as a writer of songs and had to be pushed into singing! What a story! I have to look up more on his biography.
He s really loves us his true fans not placer for haters trolls jealous whit zero talent lets go barry you.re so humble and honest humsn being

Barry sua música Mandy é linda ❣️😍😍😍😍
Love you Barry Manilow
My grandparents love Barry Manilow
Why did he never win a Grammy? He is phenomenal!!
54jeanmarie pretty sure he did win one for copacabana as best pop vocal
No surprise is right! We luv you, Barry! The music, the memories...never stop!
I love barry manilow.
Love his music
He is strictly business and very cool.
What a humble man...he’s not ashamed to tell us that he was born and raise in a very dangerous area in Brooklyn. Anyway, Williamsburg is not dangerous anymore. It’s actually a very expensive are to live in NYC.
Barry is a genius
Aways loved his voice
Been a Manilow fan since I first saw an HBO concert special he did in the late 70s from the Pantages Theatre in LA. I was able to find a VHS copy of that show a few years ago. Great music and a great entertainer. At 73 years old now, he's looking more like Liberace with the face lift and all. Why can't show folks just grow old gracefully and still perform?
Amazing
Seems down to earth man and seems his fame has not made him change as the person he probably has always been.
17/06/2022...Feliz Aniversário; Barry Manilow! Felicidades e muitos...muitos anos de Vida! Nós te amamos🌟❤️🇧🇷
A LEGEND! Along side of Barbara Streisand and many more!!
My favorites by Barry Manilow has to be of course bandstand boogie, Copacabana, and of course can’t smile without you which was used in Hellboy.
Thanks
He is amazing!!
Love Barry
I can't smile without my PS
This makes me sad at this struggle, because it is a struggle until they give up... I really am saddened.
That happen to me too taxi wouldn't take me from South Street Seaport to Williamburgs, thank for metro train.
I love him. He is from my old neighborhood in Williamsburg. But, I don't like when he said about it. It wasn't dangerous. I grew up in the same area and wasn't bad at all.
She's stunning 😍
