      This is always such a cool thing to think about; how generational music differs. I was born in 2007, so the music I grew up with was the pop always played on repeat on the radio. Hands down, the 70's had the best musical era ever. That's a hill I am willing to

    The one time where TikTok discovers a song and gets it right (And I love the platform, but man their song trend choices drive me up the wall a lot of the time). Barry Manilow is fantastic from what I’ve heard so far. I’ve always heard of him through various things like The Breakfast Club, but I never really dived deep into his discography for years until now. Definitely a great solid artist and a very well written song! Disco really did stay around for such a long time, because it was just that good and fun to listen to. I feel like I was born in the wrong decade a lot of the time, too. I’m a 90’s kid, wishing I could be a 70’s or 80’s kid.

Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond are the only two performers I've seen in concert where I could look around at the audience and see at least three generations of fans. My 72-year-old mom, my 12-year-old niece and I saw both of them in concert years ago (different concerts) and it was unforgettable. Their music will outlive all of us.

    The hat is a nice touch. Don't think I ever saw you do a song in a hat. What a different version of this wonderful story song. Great job, Barry......................Love it..............Betsy

    I was probably 5 or 6 when I’d watch Barry Manilo with my mother, she cried to his song. She’d alway say “silly me hey” even at such a young age I knew then that I wanted to marry him! He’s a brilliant entertainer and singer. I’d throw my knickers at him any day lol

    Barry... I great version of Copacabana. Love the suit and hat. Much different from the original until you change into the white suit in the original. Oh, and Reparata is in this onr in the same dress she was in when she did the 2 dances with you in 1978. She dances again with you in this one. Thanks Barry, but nothing can top the original. Love ya.......Betsy B

    Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
    With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
    She would merengue and do the cha-cha
    And while she tried to be a star
    Tony always tended bar
    Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
    They were young and they had each other
    Who could ask for more?
    At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
    The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
    At the copa (co) Copacabana
    Music and passion were always the fashion
    At the copa they fell in love
    Copa, Copacabana
    His name was Rico
    He wore a diamond
    He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
    And when she finished, he called her over
    But Rico went a bit to far
    Tony sailed across the bar
    And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
    There was blood and a single gun shot
    But just who shot who?
    At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
    The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
    At the copa (co) Copacabana
    Music and passion were always the fashion
    At the copa, she lost her love
    (Copa, Copacabana)
    (Copa, Copacabana)
    (Copacabana)
    like in Havana
    (Copa, banana)
    Music and passion were always in fashion
    Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
    But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
    Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
    Still in dress she used to wear
    Faded feathers in her hair
    She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
    She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
    Now she's lost her mind
    At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
    The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
    At the copa (co) Copacabana
    Music and passion were always in fashion
    At the copa don't fall in love
    don't fall in love
    (Copacabana)
    (Copacabana)
