The singer-songwriter who has fifty Top-40 hits (along with a Grammy, a Tony and two Emmys) is about to debut his Broadway musical, 'Harmony,' the true story of a pre-World War II singing group in Germany whose fame was obliterated by the Nazis.
If you were around during the 1970s and '80s, you can probably sing along with many of Barry Manilow's fifty Top 40 hits, like 'Could It Be Magic,' 'Mandy,' 'Looks Like We Made It,' and of course, 'Copacabana.' He's sold 85 million records. He's won a Tony, a Grammy, and two Emmys. And he's now performed more times in Las Vegas than Elvis Presley. All of this came as a huge surprise to … Barry Manilow.
But when I realized it was an anthem to the spirit of music, oh, I can arrange an anthem!' 'And you did arrange the hell out of it,' said Pogue.' 'I mean, you changed key three times?''Yeah. But that's what you would do with an anthem.'Over the decades, Manilow endured financial close calls, a couple of health scares, and the public revelation of his relationship with his manager, Garry Kief, whom he married in 2014. They've been together for 45 years.
