Barry Manilow is a classic. Performers of his calibre are rapidly fading away to be replaced by what? Anyway, I'm not surprised that so many of you think so little of him. The only way to truly appreciate who he is now and how he evolved to this point is to have been there in the beginning listening to Mandy on the radio along with his musical contemporaries of the late seventies and early eighties. It was a unique time. I'm not condemning music of today, but it is impossible to "like" Barry Manilow when all you really want to listen to on your IPOD is the music considered "good" today.
Rant over.........
