I think Barry got his start back in the 70's singing and writing commercial jingos. I still remember the old McDonald's commercial he sang:
You deserve a break today
So get up and get away
To McDonald's
He had about 30 top 100 songs which are all about as bland as the commercials he did. I dislike most of his music but for some reason like "It's A Miracle" which reached number 10 on the charts in 1975.
I think his strange looks and boring music make him some kind of nostalgic camp to modern audiences. Some of his songs like "I Write The Songs" are so sickening sweet they make me want to cringe when they come on.
