Barry Manilow On Turning 80: 'I'm Not About To Stop!'

[@freddielee8500]

Barry came to my hometown of Joplin, Missouri after our horrific and deadly EF5 tornado of 2011. Through his foundation he presented Joplin schools many thousands of dollars worth of musical instruments to replace the ones destroyed. It meant a lot to the students and the city and lifted our spirits.

[@gregsenara]

Barry is one of the greatest artist and performer of our time, he's a Legend. 😊👍

[@VickySwindoll]

[@MrGenXer]

My mother, God rest her soul, loved Barry Manilow. We went to his concert in '82 or '83 forgot. That was my first concert.

[@alanfisher2121]

I have LOVED Barry for 50 years! A musical genius, a moving vocalist, and SO FUNNY, and SO CUTE! ❤

[@chrisb7142]

I loved Barry Manilow for years! An old girlfriend took me to his SF concert in 1976 for my 17th birthday. At one point, he said something to the effect of "if this next song resonates with you, come on down the aisle!" No one did. I was sweating because I was sooo there and ready to run down; and my girlfriend was holding me back saying "he's not serious!!" I regret not doing that to this day (and I'm 64!).

[@dawnagordon2333]

He is amazing genius great musician/ man

[@jacquetrosper274]

HE IS CERTAINLY AN INSPIRATION!!

[@sherrywoodard8562]

I’ve loved him forever too! I saw his first concert I’m the 70’s and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since! He is a musical genius - his songs are amazing

[@VickySwindoll]

Me too! A true living legend ❤

[@T.C_Daniel2024]

Barry Manilow is such a treasure in our lives. Seeing him and Kelly Clarkson in The Rockefeller Center tree lighting is so special.

[@niclesnyc]

I went to see Harmony and was a bit hesitant to spend money, but it was worth every penny. Fabulous show.

[@wandasewell4501]

Love that he isn't stopping! Great news, we need more positive in the world.

[@steverdms]

The man is a legend and so glad to still see him rocking it.

[@nancywood9531]

I took my teen age daughter to see him 3 times over 6 years. She is now57 years old. Hr still sounds the same but doesnt move as much....but then he's an octogenarian. Let the stage dancers do that while he blesses us with his songs. 🎶❤️

[@joannejohnson7367]

Barry is a class act and a great artist.

[@nedracrouse8125]

My longtime favorite. He's the best.

[@majorleaguinfidel]

I LOVE me some Barry! ❤ My late parents were big fans and raised me listening to the most amazing music including Barry Manilow and his music brings me back to such happier times.

[@lianelayman6584]

My father was a fan too and we saw him a few times in concert.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I saw his special on TV last week and it was incredible. I liked it so much more than I expected. His energy, his range, his voice is so powerful! Wonderful talent! You can tell he just absolutely loves what he does.

[@dougc4302]

Have to admit, he did an amazing job with this show and it brought back fantastic memories of his pop songs from the eighties, etc.. He is still a fantastic artist and singer. 80 years old….really?? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kathytarver2133]

I have absolutely loved Barry for 50 years!! The TV show was excellent last night!! We flew to Vegas some years ago, had Special fabulous seats on the floor, and I knew almost every word. He wasn’t scheduled to sing this, but he sang my favorite song of his, “Weekend In New England”! Even at 69, I sang all the way through the whole Christmas Special, last night. Thank you for 50 years, Barry‼️ I am anxious to see, “Harmony”‼️☺️♥️

[@SusanDavis-mt3qe]

I saw Barry many years ago and he was Fantastic!! He truly wrote the songs!!

[@DavidCrocker-y4i]

I saw his “Barry on Broadway” show at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles back in the mid 80’s and he sang Sunrise Sunset while accompanying himself on the accordion. One of my most favorite Manilow moments ever.

[@kenbody4370]

I will be turning 65 this next year. Barry has always been one of my favorites.

[@LeeSmith-f4f]

I can listen to him sing all day everyday. Angel that sings.

[@gizzykatkat9687]

He is a living Legend!

[@carolynmorris7303]

Barry was the most adorable child.

[@Benito-fn4ip]

First saw Barry at the NYC Continental Baths. He was playing piano for The Divine Miss M....Several years later saw him when he opened The Pacific Amphitheater south of LA...Was only semi-excitedto be going....However, after 2 songs I was on my feet standing as was most of the audience. He was great! Thank you Barry for decades of outstanding entertainment.

[@catherinetesoro6714]

Saw him with Bette in Phila.1970

[@jbt6007]

Good for Barry! He needs to keep going. We need our ICONS.

[@shawnrhyme5831]

It's been more than a few years ago, that Barry Manilow recorded and released "I Write the Songs". I enjoy Barry's music along with many other recording artists. I'd love to perform what I've done with the old Christmas classic T'was The Night Before Christmas, on stage at some of his Christmas concerts. Thanks for the video. Bah humbug and Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁🎄

[@ien2023]

Geez I hope I live as long as Barry.

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

Kelly looks amazing! ❤

[@Txsuperrr]

Barry manilow is so adorable he’s such a sweet heart in person as well!!! ❤

[@lady_g406]

Barry is a legend

[@laurenhall1070]

Barry Manilow was my 1st crush at 8 years old. I remember singing his songs over & over under my bed, where I had my record player. My small private play quiet spot I made for myself. I also remember hearing people talk about him being gay and that whole bath house rumor. I defended him as a 3rd grader in love. I said no one like him couldn't love the world more! Gay is happy gay is really happy. Lol

[@stefanklaus1652]

Barry is an icon of Music and Kelly looks awesome

[@kathybasilico5686]

God blessed you with an amazing talent. Hope you use it for years to come. Your music puts a smile in my heart. Keep going. Long island Kathy

[@DennisSmithAIStockImageClub]

I was lucky to see him last Saturday night at the Westgate for the same Christmas Show. It was magical and my cousin and I sat up close.

[@michaelcastro6731]

I love his songs and what a great pianist and performer too. I am hoping to catch one his last shows at the London Palladium. One of a kind!

[@yankee04]

Thanks for promoting Broadway! People should go see Harmony. It’s a story that needs to be told.

Who thought they’d ever hear Barry Manilow use the phrase “blue balls” on a talk show!🤪

[@friedaclaxton5950]

Haha I picked up on that too 😂 He was so adorable with the puppies!

He's left the UK now, never to return 😢💔🎵🎶

[@stormbear7330]

Kelly is so much better and natural, warm and welcoming than The Ellen Show..

[@vilmalazzarini8847]

He should re write new and old songs and music of thumbelina 1994 with Alan menken for it’s 30th anniversary

[@tomtom6319]

he is a massive talent but really tough to see age taking over hopefully someone in his life will let him know when to stop.

[@kennylacombe]

Omg they should have him play Martin Short’s brother in Only Murders in the Building season 4. They look so much alike!

[@winkieblink7625]

I’ve always loved Barry’s music. Just wish he could move his mouth after all his face work.

[@adamk8197]

Did Kelly take Ozempic?

[@hrsnrnd10]

Barry used to love beagles!

[@lianelayman6584]

he is Jewish but good that he celebrates Christmas. My father and I loved him and I still do. He needs to come back to Wolftrap in VA.

[@wb3381]

I heard he created lyrics for the American band Stand theme and song it

[@kendrabryant4738]

I love naked & afraid too! 😂❤

[@agnieszkatrasa]

[@pinkypromise111]

Hope he gets saved before it’s to late! He’s 80 !

[@robertwalker951]

And he says he has had no surgery. !!!!!!!!!!

[@fhdxeleven11]

he aged good :)

[@anthonygillman7162]

How good is he looking for an octogenarian !! I have always loved his music - and he was always being so criticised.

[@sherrystipa8894]

Damn I missed it

[@Milocat-v3g]

the trick of staying young staying active......yea and having personal doctors help also. I just called the skin doctor and i have to wait six weeks.....hope it aint serious.😁

[@rolfgrevendonck7038]

Yeah a puppy is not a present Dog Is For A Life Never Give a dog as a present

[@Fancylooks]

This man was dead in the news some months ago! Why do they do that, why do they keep saying all these legends are dead when it is not true? I hate that!

[@dogloverjb6873]

wish entertainers would pass on the plastic surgery. Fans will accept them with age and all.... no need for such extreme surgeries
