Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

I have never been a fan of Barry Manilow in that l would join his fan club or go to his concerts. Some women go mad for him!
Saying that, l just love Copacabana (Lola, She Was A Showgirl)
I could listen to it over and over again!

Are you, or have you ever been a Barry Manilow fan and been to his concerts?
Have you got a favourite song by him?

Like you, I have never much cared for him Art.

Don't mind him to listen to so much, but not interested in seeing him.

Re: Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

At the Copa, copa cabanaaa!


In a word no, I have never thought of throwing my undies at Mr M

When I was at school he was considered a bit of a joke . But then when I was at school Abba were a joke and these days they are cool. Funny how things change. I have just realised that he didn't sing the girl from ipanema after all. i was about to say that was my favourite song but turns out ol' blue eyes sang that (now him I would have thrown my knickers at even when he was an oldie!)

Re: Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

Being a blues tragic I could hardly say I am a Barry Manilow fan. Although I acknowledge his popularity. As for Sinatra, a female relative of mine - now deceased- was one of the journalists he referred to as a "two bit hooker" when he was in Australia. So once again, no fan. But yes great voice in his prime.

Re: Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

Some of his songs are extremely well-produced and arranged such as the wonderful 'Could It Be Magic?'.
Unfortunately Manilow himself is a big-nosed cheesy gonk.

Re: Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

Didn't Manilow swap his wife for a husband at some point?

Liked 'Mandy' and 'Copa' - can't think of any others.

Re: Do Some Women Still Go Mad For Barry Manilow?

Never been a Manilow fan he nicked Mandy from Scott English who wrote it and had a reggae hit with it.
It was called Brandy in the early 70s.
Much prefer Brandy over Mandy.
