On 17 June, 1943 Barry Manilow was born as Barry Alan Pincus, in Brooklyn. Barry’s father left the family when he was a child of only two. Respect and love might be the reason, since Barry chose Manilow, as his surname, which was actually his mother’s last name. even as a little boy of seven, Barry played piano and accordion exceptionally well. After high school Barry joined the well known Julliard School of music. For quite some time Barry earned his living by writing and singing for advertisements for some high profile ad campaigns
Barry’s career took a positive turn when he started working for Bette Midler as pianist and music director. He was the mastermind behind her first two albums. Barry performed for the first time at Bette Midler show in Carnegie Hall in 1972. Due to her, Barry also managed to sign his first record contract. In 1973 Barry’s first album hit the market, which unfortunately didn’t receive a very good response.
Barry hit success with his song “Mandy” in 1974. His success lasted almost the remaining 70’s and beginning of 80’s. Even though Barry was a songwriter but most of his songs which hit the top ten charts were not written by him.
“Mandy," "Tryin’ to Get the Feeling Again", "Weekend in New England ",Looks Like We Made It”, “are some of the songs which were highly successful but off course not written by him.
The glittering star began experiencing downfall in 1979. His songs started to show signs of weak composing and loopholes in the music. “I Made It Through the Rain” was the last song that hit the top ten chart. After that Barry remained popular with his concerts that took place nationally as well as internationally. Barry was successful in maintaining his repo in Adult contemporary charts but the best was over. In 1984 Barry tried his luck in Jazz also
