BARRY IN CONCERT 1978
The Nice Thing About A Barry Manilow Concert Is That Barry's Singing Makes You Feel So Good! The Fun Thing Is Watching Barry As He Glides Through His Many Hits - And Expressions! Want To See? Let's Go!
As soon as Barry walks out on stage and starts to sing, you know that he's singing just for you! That great big smile's the clue!
Barry on a soap box? Wrong! He's just "Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again!"
Uh-oh! Could something be wrong? Nope, not a chance! Just Barry fielding an unexpected question!
A very moving Manilow hit is his touching "All The Time" - the song where he sings about finding you!
A change of costume, a change of piano, one stuffed swordfish (hung on the front of the piano!), and "a tacky palm tree" set the scene for Barry's stories about his days as a club performer!
Barry almost always asks if there are any people in his audience from his home town of Brooklyn, N.Y. - and surprise of surprises, there almost always are!
All bright 'n' shiny in white satin and beads, Barry does the handjive (as in the movie Grease) with Reparata of Lady Flash!
Did you know that Barry wrote the American Bandstand theme? Well, he did - and here he is doing "the Lindy" ( a big dance in the 50's!) with Reparata, to that long-standing hit!
Barry's got a graet big stage production number - in which he sings "Copacabana," dances, and surprises (left)! Look at that face! A little mugging goes a long way for Barry - everyone loves it!
Show over all ready? But Barry (right) could go on forever - and don't you wish he did!?!

BARRY MANILOW'S REMEMBRANCE SCRAPBOOK 1978
When I first got the idea for "Mandy."
One of the very first dates with Linda Allen. It was at the Prime Time 1976-77 Emmy Awards.
Meeting my buddy, Danny Most, at a premiere where several of my friends were honored with awards in music.
After I received Best Male Vocalist Award and Performer of the Year in 1976 - wow!
The photo my fans said is the best one I have ever had taken. What do you think?
Boogying with Penny Marshall on my TV special which included the exciting "Lady Flash." You may not know it, but I still get nervous onstage.
With Chita Rivera when I won the 1976 Ruby Award.
Any night with Linda is a night to remember!

16 Magazine 1980
Barry's learning all the tricks of the acting trade by studying with actress/teacher Nina Foch, but any true blue Manilow fan knows Barry's already got a lot of the moves down pat! For instance, he could play a fiendish fellow out to do dastardly...
... or a dreamy romantic who falls in love at a moment's notice!
Our Barry could be cast as a sexy beach bum a la Gidget Goes Hawaiian...
... or that clean cut college kid next door he often resembles during portions of his concerts!
Barry would be perfect in an I Love Lucy film about "Ricky Riccardo's" comeback at the "Tropicana Club"...
... or as a midnight cowboy singing the blues!
Perhaps Barry could go the dramatic route? Could there be a better "Romeo" than he?!!
How 'bout a tough gangster type? "All right, Louie! You've double- crossed me for the last time!"
Or a ditsy accordianist who dreams of playing all the best society weggings?
Better still, how a little type-casting? Wouldn't Barry make a super pop star?
Regardless of the role Barry's going to choose to make his acting debut - and don't be surprised if it's real soon - the result of his efforts is bound to go something like... "Ladies and gentlemen of the Academy, I'd like to thank my mother..."
