    This song is a masterpiece! No one could write soaring, deep, power ballads like Jim Steinman. He didn’t simply write love songs, he wrote arias! RIP.

      I’m a 56 year old whites woman who listened to R&B and Funk in the 80s. Didn’t start listening to what is now “classic rock” until I got to college. We should be able to listen to whatever we like without judgment. My son was a death metal musician who liked 50s music, especially the Four Seasons. My husband and I went to see Slipknot and Barry Manilow in the same month. 😂

    Back in the 80's, when I was in my teens, Barry Manilow was a secret, guilty pleasure. I figured my headbanger friends would ostracize me if they found out. Now, approaching 50, I couldn't care less what people would think about it. Of course, I found out years later that most of those same friends also had similiar "secrets", but they too didn't want to mess up their "coolness". You can't beat time and maturity as the best provider of perspective.

    It was a shame that Barry Manilow was ridiculed by various TV comedians for how he looked rather than his performances during his hey day in the late 70's and early 80's because his music was truly out of this world especially the lyrics in his songs. I had liked his music then and still do to this day.

He also mentions guns and bullets which is very unusual to sing about that. I do love the video especially with Barry(The Jester) and Barry (The real Barry) in the back of the theatre.

    I haven't seen this one for awhile, but I love the story behind it, Barry. To think that a man could look as handsome playing a joker with makeup and costume on. Only you Barry..Only YOU. And then we have the real Barry in this one too. Love it and you whether it is the real you or dressed as a Joker. Your devoted fan...................Betsy Basile

    Since long time ago, when I was on my Xteen, I hated Barry Manilow music because I thought he was too depressive and sentimentalist and sometimes i listened his music secretly- hidden from the other but now at my middle of 40 I dare to listen his music...fuck what have I done! I denied to myself during my youth to listen the music of a great artist and a wonderful voice.

    Am I the only one who loves the extreme smoothness and stillness after the bombastic conclusion which starts @5:00 and that slight stutter/pause as he stops at "Come on and look at me and read 'em" and starts it again with that bluesy guitar layered in?

Love this song since 1983 My High school last year May 12 th 1983 in Iowa before had leave to Minnesota June 6 th 1983. And listen to Americans Top 40 countdown back then 1980s 1990.

    I grew up, in the cassette age, but my folks managed to catch him live at concert in rapid. What was amazing was the show started out with this flat black piano...but once he started playing the lights could make that piano into any color...and the music was something else too.
