Well this thread inspired me to listen to all the Manilow songs in my collection that made the top 100 (29) and there are 3 or 4 that I forgot about that I kind of like. There is no denying that he is/was talented and knew how to write and sing a lot of hits even in the disco era.
I always thought of his music as being just an extension of his commercial jingos but some of his stuff is quite good (at least to me) especially if you haven't heard it for a while. Some of it is also just as bad (to me) as I remember, maybe because they were so overplayed on the radio. Whenever I hear "I Write The Songs" it takes a few days to get it out of my head.
