About Barry Manilow
Singer-songwriter Barry Manilow embodies a style of pop showmanship that all but disappeared by the end of the 20th century.
Born in Brooklyn in 1943, Manilow was a lower-class kid who worked his way through Juilliard, backing Bette Midler on piano at a gay bathhouse and writing jingles for the likes of Band-Aid and State Farm before becoming one of the most successful performers of the '70s and '80s.
Bridging the traditions of the Great American Songbook with the polish and immediacy of pop, he tackles all his material—even the lightest fare—with dignity and often a touch of humor.
