Maybe if I had (abused someone) then I'd be more famous"); Here at the Mayflower ("It's not jazz, not swing, not Broadway, not pop ... It's all of it ... All the styles I loved since I was young ...

I picked 'Lay Me Down' [and] as I was standing next to the piano, there were all these women the same age I am screaming their heads off because they were in the front row of a Barry Manilow concert. And I just looked at them and said, 'I am you. I am representing all of you, because we were all children of that era.'"). |

In my heart I was much more connected with the generation that came before me - the George Gershwins, the Harold Arlens, the Cole Porters ... I don't need the money and I don't need the gold records ... The reason I do this is because I hope there are 10 people out there who will hear 'All the Way' and go out and buy Sinatra's album."). |

I feel very strange not doing that,' Manilow says ... When Arista Records 25th Anniversary celebration airs on May 15, it's Manilow who opens the show ... Manilow seems quite content with where and who he is - an artist beloved by his fans, if not always by critics, who hits the road because he says he feels a responsibility to the fans ... 'I feel a responsibility to go out there and show a new generation what 'This One's For You' sounds like and what a song from a Broadway show feels like to listen to, and do a Sinatra song,' [Barry] says.") |

Pick up 'Waltz for Debby,' and you'll see what I mean"); Internet site ("Amazon.com"); something Barry would want to do other than music ("writing ...

Backed by a 30-piece orchestra of which he was justifiably proud, he performed just about every one of his hits... you name it, he did it ... Some songs got nice updates, and others were turned into triumphant showstoppers ...
