Thanks for the post... I just saw Barry a couple months ago in Nasville.. 79 years old and still blew the roof off the staduim.. I was fortunate enough to make my living on a stage for 10 years in my youth.. Barry is the greatest showman of all time, and in that sense, a true hero of mine... gonna steal a line from Lionel Richie here though.. Barry, thanks for the joy that you've given me!

I was a teenager when this song was released and I instantly loved it. All those years ago and I never realised that there were 4 Barry's in the clip doing back up vocals. A fun clip that brings such a big smile to my face. And I love how the intensity of the strings builds from 2.23 onwards.

He is and was one of the greatest Singer, Performer, Composer and Dancer!I always must smile,everytime i hear that Song!❤❤❤

There is a time stamp of 1982 all over this song. Love it. I was about to get out of freshman year of high school, and this was one of many Manilow songs on the radio. Great times!

Actually, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons did this in the 1970’s.. I saw them in concert when I was 6 years old.. I loved it.. it was at the Bloomsburg Fair in Bloomsburg, PA.. awesome concert.. the band met at Bucknell University in PA while they were studying their subjects..

Don't give it away. Why do u think Barry or his producers presented it the way in the video?... Because he is dressed up like the way Valli and The Four Seasons are like, of how ones were dressed in the early part of the 1960s.

[@teresasparks9194]

Ok, ok, I admit it, I have a secret Barry Manilow spot in the old attic of m mind. I am by no means a elevator music kind of chick, I love my metal, punk, and raging chick weirdo music, but I am like a cake, under the sweet bright frosting there are layers. Mind you all I was very young when my sister was all into ol' Barry. But there are a few songs that made a big impact on me, and let's be honest, you can't get more wholesome than the Bar-meister. Regardless of anything, he had a HUGE female following and it seems like he always appreciated his fans. You just keep on crooning Barry, you sing and play the piano to your heart's content!

[@WMFNINDY23]

Huge male following as well. I took my dad to see him the last time he was in Indy and couldn't believe the following he has. Men and women from 15-100 throwing there drawers on stage. Lol But I have a small spot to. Reminds me of my parents

[@vanessag-m9295]

My Dance Teacher taught me a routine to this? It was pretty complex! But I loved it!!! We also did other routines to Barry's music including "Could it be Magic". I also designed a routine to Copacabana which I think was my proudest moment when I used to teach Exercise to Music in later years. Love the man and his talent and for the happy memories he's given me in my lowest moments 🙂

What an "up" song! So well-done and so much fun. I'm old enough to remember back in the 1960's that there was a TV commercial for Beech Nut gum and it used a version of this song. There was something like "Beech Nut gum hangs on, hangs on". There was a woman reclining on the flag pole on the outside of a building and she winds up in the arms of the singers/actors below. it's a dim memory from probably more than 50 years ago but a fun memory.

Wow, just wow.... wasnt a Manilow fan eva, but remember his weepy sentimental songs from the 70s. I couldnt believe this was him when I was eleven yrs old in the summer of 82.
