Most guys probably regret a lost girlfriend or failed marriage at some time in their life, and Mr Manilow nails it with these lyrics. I've got my own Mandy.
You are so right.....if you want to ball yours eyes out after a break up, this is the song ..... My girlfriend of about 5 years, left me suddenly and that night ,my dad took me out to eat and that song came on the radio at the restaurant..tore me up..couldnt eat....
My lifelong closest friend, Wendy, became a two-time second living organ donor yesterday. Both of her recipients began their relationships with Wendy as strangers. I’ve always substituted Wendy for the actual song title throughout the lyrics any time I sing her this song. I think that’s especially appropriate today. Thank you, organ donors.
Prayers for comfort in your grandmother’s eternal love and gratitude for you. I’d sense her gratefulness for you reached new heights as you perform your lovely rendition of this fitting and beautiful song. Please know you are not alone. Not ever. 🙏🏾👍🏿🫶🏻
My first love surprised myself to see Barry Manillow perform Our song "Mandy" .I still can't believe he isn't here today.We will meet again and fall in love all over again.What I would do or give to feel his arms around me again Now 30 years later is as clear as yesterday. ❤😢 Rip B.Boyd
My life long best friend was named Mandy. She passed last year. I remember when were kids and would giggle say this was her song. Oh how I wish she was here now to giggle with . My heart aches so much. I will always love her and she will always be my best friend.
@@barrymanilow551gmailcom you have no idea how much your Song means to me - it was my light in a very dark time in my life. Mandy's dad left me 6 months pregnant. "But I sent you away O Mandy" for me refers to the time where I seriously considerd abortion cause with no husband, MS and very little money I saw no way of raising a child on my own. Today Mandy is 13. She loves the story of how we named her and is proud of the fact that she has "her own song". I sang it to her throughout my pregnancy as it meant so much to me. Today as we 'enjoy the bliss of tennagehood lol' I often say and sing 'OH MANDY...' 😁. Fun fact...my sister held her first while I was still sedated from the c-section and the nurse asked them what the babys name was to get the paperwork started. They wanted to say Amanda bit knew I was very much wanting a MANDY. As she grew older they told her she could always change her name to Amanda but no thanks she always replied. Fun fact 2: people ask her 'so what is your actual name' a lot thinking it is a nickname. Fun fact 3: when her name gets called in the Hospital waiting room via loudspeaker it is pronounced the German way which is totally wrong. Still haven't gotten used to that 🙈. "I never realized how happy you made me oh Mandy" pretty much sums up the years of my life.
@@karinnovak5620 omg, what an extremely beautiful story. Wow.... a very beautiful name mandy. God bless you karin and Mandy, for ever and ever..... most sincerely leslie and baby louise ❤💖💕💓💗♥❤💖💕💓💗... than you for sharing ..... . ✝️
This song is so underrated and I think most of the new generation didn't know about "Mandy". Personally I found this song as part of the soundtrack of the TV series "Too Old Too Die Young". ❤ What a production, indeed!
I cry every time I hear this and I play it all day no cap . I'm so in love now from being patient it's gorgeous I hope and pray everyone gets what they deserve and get treated right ❤
I have a special friend from Glendora and his name is Tom,he always play this song to me.He played Mandy using his guitar.You make my day Tom and thank you so much for our friendship.❤❤❤❤❤
I knew a girl named Mandy and I really really liked her. She left town a few days before New Year's Eve. The feelings I went through felt like a heart attack. A buddy of mine had a heart attack and he told me what the pain felt like. (The same). After 6 months she moved further away. Like in Star Trek Scotty said: "it's like the first time you fall in love, you don't really love another like you did that first one"
With all due respect to Scotty, he was wrong. It's not always the first you love the most. Can be 2nd, and further out from there. Happens all the time and with often messy and troubling consequences!
Named my daughter Mandy after hearing this song by a Barry M. Impersonator in Vegas. I was 3 months pregnant and started crying. Didn’t know true love until the day she was born ❤️
Hello, Jeanie. You have got the really true LOVE now. It is your own LOVE to your daughter. I hope and wish you, your daughter will give your LOVE to you back. Good mood and the best health for you. And the true LOVE.
wow, it's the same how I named my daughter 21 years ago, when I was driving in a raining day, and this song was played on radio, and I fall in love instantly
@@barrymanilow551gmailcom Gracias a ti ! Tú música es especial y la oigo siempre,Mandy es mi favorita! Linda letra y lindo sentimiento! Muchas bendiciones y éxitos siempre !
My hubby dedicated this sing to me, I've known Barry for over 40 yrs ..Out of the blue, he said do you no this song...I sung some of it, he was quite .he said it's Yours‼️He left our marriage..I knew he realized the Truth 🔑, he passed 2 mos later...He was coming home..💋😭💋Love You SAM‼️
This song was originally supposed to be named "Brandy" but due to a very popular song that was out at the time named brandy, by the band the looking glass, Barry decided to change the name to Mandy. And as they say, the rest is history.
@@stevenharris8419 Yes.Just googled it.Bunny Walters 1972.Always thought it was a Barry Manilow original. Just goes to show things aren't always what they seem.
Oh yes, think about it, my heart (Jack).....you always walked away, when will you stay? It's all up to you, not me, I neeeeeeed you...😽💞💋 // Thanks for sharing!
Saw this wonderful man in concert last night at the palladium. What a showman . Didn't want it to end. His voice is as strong as ever.. Wonderful show. I shall remember it forever 😊
Man this was posted 9 months ago just when I started seeing my first ever girlfriend at the age of 24 we've recently broken up this song reminds me of her as she wasn't called Mandy but her name is Carrie sometimes I sing my own version of it 😔💔
Breakups are hard. You’ll get through it bud. Just try to do as many things as possible so you can get her off your mind. It sounds very difficult but you can pull through.
I knew a girl named Mandy, people say that "you'll forget her" it's more like you'll learn how to deal with it. This and two other songs make me think of her. John Waite - missing you Diamond Rio - one more day It does get easier.
My patootie sent me this song. I knew it came from her. I cried when I listened to the song. She needed me even though she pushed me away. I love her so much. She is my baby and only my baby. I miss you, baby...
Jodie, this song is for you. You came and you gave without taking but I sent you away. You were, are, and always will be my Mandy. I wish I didn’t tell you I didn’t have feelings for you anymore because that was an outright lie, and now, you’re gone forever.
Sometimes cover can be more successful than original 1. Mandy - Barry Manilow (Brandy -Scott English 2. Power of Love - Celine Dion ( Power of Love - Jennifer Rush) 3. Lambada - Kaoma (Llorando se fue- Los Kjarkas).
One of my favourites.... Babe, you are my love life so far... that"s why I keep it so. Even we cannot see eachother as long as you choosed somethingelse...
One of the most underrated songs of all time.🙏
That's not true, this song is certainly not underrated
My mom had the sweetest voice. She used to sing this song. One beautiful memory. I wish there were more. I love you mom ❤
1974 I think was when I first heard this song. It's 2024 and it brings me back to a peaceful time in my life.
This song makes me cry. My grandmother would play this all the time. She has passed and in a better place. Still singing..
How long ago was that I was young when it came out
She’s still listen this song in heaven.

We've all got "the 1 that got away"

My lifelong closest friend, Wendy, became a two-time second living organ donor yesterday.
Both of her recipients began their relationships with Wendy as strangers.
I’ve always substituted Wendy for the actual song title throughout the lyrics any time I sing her this song.
I think that’s especially appropriate today.
Thank you, organ donors.
I came across this song during the series "firefly lane" and I loved it. Barry is the best!
Right me too I just finished watching that episode
Same
same
Same
I loved that show. Cried my head off. They were my same age.
My grandma used to sing this song to me and put in brandy in for Mandy , and I just lost her last night I can’t stop crying
I’m so sorry for your loss!
@@judithjudith5611 thank you so much, I’m going to sing this for her at her funeral 🫶🏽

It's 2023', where has the time gone. And what is this world we are living in now 😢 This song reminds me of better days 🙏
I was in the fifth grade. I loved Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett but the other girls loved Barry Manilow. It was so much better back then. ❤😢
One of the most beautiful songs ever written

So sorry for your irreplacable loss...She sounds so beautiful...
U was very lucky to have a life long friend. But remember your spirit never dies.

What a fantastic song by Barry manilow!

Classical music makes my heart happy and at peace. Such a beautiful songs to listen about
I love this song everyday ❤
It's a wonderful commitment - a humble insight for that LOVE will have its breakthrough.
It never fails.
I remember this song when I was studying at Chowan University , North Carolina, USA in 1974.
In 2013 i had a best playlist. A Facebook memory from 2013 brought me here.. ❤
Oooh Mandy (Mahlika), I need you today and forever...❤❤❤.
Saw this wonderful man in concert last night at the palladium. What a showman . Didn't want it to end. His voice is as strong as ever.. Wonderful show. I shall remember it forever 😊

Along with my oldest son in 2006
So emotional
