You know what is weird. No one has come along that sounds remotely close to this voice. It is really quite unique. It has this golden tone to it that I really have never heard before.
I am nearest I am from Edinburgh I sang his songs since 12 years old to get away from my alcoholic father ,I am you tube b Mitchell Mandy could it be magic am bm aswell
I was reading about him and the word is he never planned to be a singer so he really has to force himself to be that good..however his piano genius is much much easier for him. He puts on great shoes I've seen him twice so far in 83 with my mom and 84 I took my dad these were. Both were Christmas shows.
@@terryjohnson5305 take that with a pinch of salt. It's common for particularly good singers to say the old line 'I never wanted to be a singer'. I believe it's called humble bragging.
I passed my driving test aged 17 Used to drive around with Barry on and dream about my future love life Now divorced with one son I rarely see, I often long for those simpler times
Steve Perry,bobby hatfield,karen carpenter, Barbara Streisand, Mary fahl. there are a few. Barry had a golden voice for sure, but lets not lose sight of reality.
Barry's music became wildly popular after I got out of college in 1977. I've always loved his heartfelt songs and his singing ability. My wife and I saw him in concert in Atlanta over 10 years ago and he was awesome in person. This was always one of my favorite tunes of his.
@@Mrtellitlikeitisyes he can. I just saw him a week ago. I was watching very closely because I thought there’s no way he’s still this good. He was really singing and singing very well. Barry has too much respect for his fans and for music to try to trick us. The moment he needs to lip sync is the day he’ll be done performing live. Be well, but don’t speak on what you don’t know.
When that song came out my girlfriend then went off to a week-long conference. I missed her so badly I could taste it. So that song reminds me of that. We have been married for 46 years now.
Paid a small fortune for my mum to go see him at the palladium recently, she’s the ultimate Fanilow and was there from the start. An irreplaceable artist who has given a lot of pleasure and hope to millions of people..
Our country needs this kind of music again. It’s so different now. More anger, more depression and angst. I truly truly believe part of it is that there is no longer music being delivered that has meaning and hope with a care for humanity.
I feel the same way. Music reaches and effects people (especially young people just getting into music). Back in the day there was joyous pop music to enjoy but now as you say there is a lot of anger, depression and angst. Such a shame.
This song and video may be one of his very best performances. As always, he hits all the notes perfectly, and his tone is so beautiful! He's legendary 🙌 so glad I grew up in the 70's... I'm a true and forever fan 👏 ❤
This is my very favorite Barry Manilow song. My little sister, Marci, got me hooked on you when I was in High School, 1976. I told her about your concert special and channel. She was singing your songs from the concert this morning at 2 am. Her husband and roommates were not pleased 😆. My sister had a stroke 1 year ago this past October. I told her to get her old albums (yes vinyl) and play them and sing to help her mind and body recover from her stroke.
@@patriciawalsh6733 she is getting a little better. She is still paralyzed on her right side, thank goodness she is left handed. She will never be able to see out of her right eye because of damage to her optic nerve. She is thinking positive and pushes herself every day. I am proud of her. We have a much better relationship now and I am thankful for that.
The music has the most power in the world. I feel really happy for your story. It finishes in a happy way however the stroke. My best wishes from Spain !!
I unwillingly learned the lyrics of every Mannilow song during the 80s and 90s thanks to my mom always having a record of his spinning or a tape of his concerts. I even went with her to a few concerts which I never regrette. She passed away in 2015 and i know this song is about lovers but id like to know when ill get to hold my momma again. ❤ love you forever ❤️
Not only that, to come out on a stage with just a single piano and just sing natural! This is a true singer, barry didn't needed all the tricks and gymics, when you got it, you got it! This why they call his songs classics! They will endure the test of time!
Love Barry Manilow!! This is my favorite Barry Manilow song!! I love it! I have been a fan since 1973. Barry is one of the best singers ever!! God bless, Barry!! xoxo
Oh the emotion Barry is able to infuse into a song is so special even today its the same and the crowd goes wild when he say when will I touch you wow wow wow.
@@danaheffernan1826 I turned 60 this year. I fell in love for the first time at the age of 17. I had Barry's greatest hits on 8 track tape in my truck and his music was mine and my girlfriends favorite music. Barry's music is what we fell in love to. After school each day she would call me and ask if I was coming over that day. If I was to please bring Barry with me😂.
I’ve been a Fanilow since my then-15-year-old sister dragged me to one of his 1978 concerts at the Greek Theater in LA. I could drive, so my sister paid for my ticket. Barry sold out 15 concerts in that run at a theater that holds 4,500. I liked what I saw & heard so much that I dragged my sister to his concert the following night and we sat in the trees surrounding that outdoor venue. Barry is a national treasure and I am awed by his talent every time I hear him.
Barry.....This still is one of my all-time favorites especially with your duel image and sometimes 3 images and WOW, if we only had 3 Barry Manilow's, we would really be flipping out with your songs and performances. You must have the mind of a genius or your grandpa really helped you more than you know. Love you................Betsy Basile
Barry....You can't beat this one. The way you sing it and play the piano and the camera work with the double image of you. I wish there were 2 Barry Manilows. It would be amazing !! The ending still makes me cry. I think this one is your favorite........................................Betsy J Basile
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this video, it just seems to get better and better. Barry, honestly, it is partly the communication you have with your fans, BUT, it really is the person that the real YOU are. You are not one of those FAKE performers, so please we love you for being you and the talent you show us every time you take the stage. Love to you for everything....................Betsy Basile
My first kiss was with a girl I met while vacationing at Panama City Beach, FL back around 1982. She was leaving with her parents the next day and we spent most of the night on the beach hanging out. Like a stupid kid I didn't get her address or full name. The next day I hung out for hours near the condo leasing office hoping to see her when they checked out, but never did. A few weeks later I heard this song and it brought me to tears wondering if I would ever see her again and if something could have ever come out of our meeting. All I remember was her name was Daphne and she went to a Lutheran School in Chattanooga. I never did "hold her again".
Love this song Especially the line "With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad" I am 57 years old and I remember singing I Write the Songs, along with a couple of others that I can't remember, in a concert my girl scout troop put on for our mothers for Mother's Day. I have been a proud Fanilow ever since. Keep on singing Barry, and I will definitely keep listening
Barry.......This is one of my favorite songs that you do and the white outfit you are wearing is just perfect for the music and the lyrics. The flutes always get me revved up. You are really the best ever since I found you in 1974. I am 3 years younger than you so I have been with you for a long time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
Barry Manilow is a great artist who doesn’t get the acclaim he deserves. He should be getting a Kennedy Center Honors award, as his artistry as a singer and songwriter is on par with anybody who has gotten that award.
This one "in the round" is so superb, Barry. You are so handsome in that white outfit. It is different then what you usually wear. I just love hearing and watching you do this wonderful song and I still think this is your favorite, but you won't tell us...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dancing Queen BB 1965
This is my all time favorite song. The passion in your voice, the words. It's all perfect. Thank you Barry. Thank you for this beautiful song but all the beautiful songs you give to us. For all these wonderful years. Your music has helped me through the worst times in my life and made the better times so much better. Thank you for just being you. Thanks for all these wonderful memories you are sharing with us and allowing us to relive all these wonderful moments.
His tone, his pronunciation, forcing the big notes with perfect pitch, softly caressing the smaller notes with beautiful breathy notes, strings, key changes, piano… Barry knows how to tell the story. Studio Musician is one of my favorite Barry Manilow songs but this performance is stellar.
Barry...Another one of my favorites, but who am I kidding? I love all of your songs. You are THE MAN OF THE HOUR !! We all know that and don't you forget about you fans that are just about your age. Right now I am 77 years old ( 2024) and I still love you and your music as much as I did in 1974..............Your Dancing Queen BB 1965
Barry......Weekend in New England is one of your best songs and gets all the audiences on their feet after you have finished and they applaud and yell for a long time, but I can see why as I still think that either this one or Even Now are your favorites by the extra special way you sing them. Love you always...........................Betsy Basile
In this one at times we see you three times at one time. How exciting and of course, you sing this so amazing as always.................Barry......Love ya..........BB
Wow. Memories. This song was popular at the time I was going through a heartbreaking separation from my husband. I love this man's songs and music, but this one is too hard to listen to. Yes...memories can be bittersweet. Mr. Manilow, if you are reading this, thank you for all the beautiful music you shared with the world. You are paramount in the music world :)
I have been privileged to see Barry twice in concert with my mom who grew up loving Barry. She certainly shared her love with me. I’m a New England girl and this song holds a soft spot for me always.
I remember riding in the car with my mom and dad as a kid. They had it on an AM station and this came on. From the first note to the last note I was intrigued. It also made me tear up when it was on the chorus part. I miss those days of radio and car rides with my parents. I love you Barry
I ❤️ this music. Barry your voice and music is eternal. I so enjoy the piano 🎹 . Your style is one that I’ve enjoyed for years. Your music speaks to my heart and soul about how I feel and felt about someone precious to me. He says what you want you want someone to say to you. He’s saying I care, I love u, I want to be with you and love you forever. 😊
What a beautiful beautiful song!!!It speaks to my heart and soul directly.He has such a unique voice, and he's so passionate but sweet at the same time!!!And oh wasn't he Hot!!!my goodness!!!❤
You know, I've listened to this song a lot. And what impresses me so much is hearing the subtle little changes in Barry's arranging and in the way he sings this song. I don't know if he does this as a nod to his diehard fans ... I guess that's what I want to think. At any rate, I sure appreciate it. It's been a wonderful experience to be a fan of his for these decades. Through it all, he's been dedicated, technically sound, passionate, and grateful for those who have supported him and his music. What more can you ask for?
Barry always gives a song everything he has!! His songs evoke feelings of love in people. He is truly gifted in playing the piano and singing. He worked extremely hard to get where he is today and is still working hard at 80 years old!! This is such a beautiful song. There will probably never be another great talent like Barry Manilow.!!!❤❤❤
I am deeply honored if this is a reply from Barry himself. Keep performing and singing, Barry. You are truly gifted. Your ballads songs, and music are truly beautiful. I wish you nothing but good health and happiness,always!!😉😊❤️ 💕💕❤️😎😊❤️❤️
Barry.....Another one from the 80's. This is the 4th one I found from the 80's tonight and in everyone you look so handsome and your hair is perfect and bounces when the song gets faster. You really had it going on in the 80's. Not one of us could resist you then. The song is perfect too. I still think this one is your favorite. Love you forever and a day................Betsy Basile
You know what is weird. No one has come along that sounds remotely close to this voice. It is really quite unique. It has this golden tone to it that I really have never heard before.
I always say this too..nobody remakes his songs..nobody could sing them anyways

He’s great

Me too
He was my idol at 16 also . Always listened to this beautiful voice.!!! Absolutely my favorite musician.!!!❤

its sorta subjective.@@randolphkersey5155
So true. So much great music, singers and composers including Manilow. @@randolphkersey5155
@@randolphkersey5155He meant he had his own style. Maybe you should stop trying to find an argument in everything. Just keeping it real.
Barry had enormous performance power
I come back to this every few months or so to remind myself what real musical talent is like.

you look great for 62 you wanna hook up?
Barry, still going strong after several decades of showmanship and superb musical talent. What a gift to the world!
Just saw him in concert. He's 81 years old but can still put on a wonderful show. He's amazing!

He was handsome when he was young, those eyes so romantic

Congratulations sir! I can totally relate to how strongly a song like this can put you in a moment 40+ years ago. 👍🏻
That is awesomely incredible!🎉❤🎉. Thank you for sharing!
For those who experience love and longing, this song is amazing !

Me too, forever a Barry fan. This brings back soooo many memories of Summer 1982
My favorite of all his songs(sorry😊).
My favorite part, is his voice with a resonating reverberation, right before the high-point ending…
Brings back the summer of 1981
The fact that this is LIVE, makes it even more impressive. Might be my favorite version.
YES! No autotune.
I agree! What a beautiful voice-so much emotion! ❤
He captures how your heart yearns for someone you love and miss….you are loving someone so much your stomach turns when you are away from them.
👔The Feeling lasts forever🥁 ❤️

No one sings a ballad like Barry Manilow.❤❤❤❤❤
If I only get to hear one song for the rest of my life, this is the song. My favorite song by any artist from any era.
The touring he did back then was insane. I can't imagine the kind of stress that must be for anyone.

After all these years,..I still love your music. Forever~
Never gets old!
Oh the emotion Barry is able to infuse into a song is so special even today its the same and the crowd goes wild when he say when will I touch you wow wow wow.
I really wanted to marry him when I was 12. At 57 I can still see and feel why. I sure would have loved having access to these videos then.
Saw him live in Vegas, the man was born to Star there
On the "when will I touch you" the ladies out front rushed the stage

A young Barry Manilow , does it get any better than this ?
Love this song and Barry Manilow!! I have been a fan since 1973. Love his voice!! He has one of the best voices ever!! xoxo
1977: Even now, years after she left, I still prefer the original lyric "...when will this emptiness end?"

I used to imagine he was singing to me, but he was obviously singing to a bloke……I still love him & all of his albums though, I have at least 6 ❤️❤️❤️
The best performance that I've heard of that song.

The official video is even better. She get so emotional singing that she stops singing while the track keeps going.
What a great song! What a great singer! He still performs in Las Vegas and will travel to Florida in January. I can't wait to see him again.
I remember riding in the car with my mom and dad as a kid. They had it on an AM station and this came on. From the first note to the last note I was intrigued. It also made me tear up when it was on the chorus part. I miss those days of radio and car rides with my parents. I love you Barry
An absolute legend. So wonderful to have been blessed with his music over the years.
His voice here is just super!
I ❤️ this music. Barry your voice and music is eternal. I so enjoy the piano 🎹 . Your style is one that I’ve enjoyed for years. Your music speaks to my heart and soul about how I feel and felt about someone precious to me. He says what you want you want someone to say to you. He’s saying I care, I love u, I want to be with you and love you forever. 😊
I so much love the piano and also felt about someone nice to me
He gives me the shivers every time!
Talent like this comes few times in a century and still entertains every age group
I sang this in the 9th grade at a spring show. Got a standing o for it. Changed my life 4ever.
I love this song 🎶 ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful beautiful song!!!It speaks to my heart and soul directly.He has such a unique voice, and he's so passionate but sweet at the same time!!!And oh wasn't he Hot!!!my goodness!!!❤
You know, I've listened to this song a lot. And what impresses me so much is hearing the subtle little changes in Barry's arranging and in the way he sings this song. I don't know if he does this as a nod to his diehard fans ... I guess that's what I want to think. At any rate, I sure appreciate it. It's been a wonderful experience to be a fan of his for these decades. Through it all, he's been dedicated, technically sound, passionate, and grateful for those who have supported him and his music. What more can you ask for?
Barry always gives a song everything he has!! His songs evoke feelings of love in people. He is truly gifted in playing the piano and singing. He worked extremely hard to get where he is today and is still working hard at 80 years old!! This is such a beautiful song. There will probably never be another great talent like Barry Manilow.!!!❤❤❤

My fave Manilow song. Nobody writes like this anymore. And his voice is such a rarity and treasure. Nobody sounds like him.
Barry.....Another one from the 80's. This is the 4th one I found from the 80's tonight and in everyone you look so handsome and your hair is perfect and bounces when the song gets faster. You really had it going on in the 80's. Not one of us could resist you then. The song is perfect too. I still think this one is your favorite. Love you forever and a day................Betsy Basile
Never get tired of this beautiful song 🇨🇦
The thing with Barry M is that he gives his songs the glory of Love…and Sadness.
