Barry Manilow speaks about his career from jingles to pop superstar

[@joannewest4073]

Barry manilow is one of the greatest music arrangers of our time. This is why his songs are so fantastic and he has lasted so long. His great voice, ✍ writing such wonderful songs and arranging. What a gift to all of us to have Barry in our life. Thanks Great 👍 interview.

[@sarahfridge1121]

I was afraid to click on your name. Who are you? You interviewed Barry M.? I am not good with phones so I may make all kinds of mistakes. Thanks for saying you liked my comment a long time ago. I believe they are soul mates, thats why I said that.i don't know if anybody else agrees . I hope Barry is OK after getting covid. I had a nightmare that some guy tried to spit on me because he had covid and was not only trying to give to me , but also violently kill me. That's about the worst nightmare I've had in a long time. Sorry it took me so long to respond.

[@photomusicman9413]

Now this is probably the best interview I have ever seen with Barry Manilow. It is so nice to see him relaxed and chatting about his work and style. I could watch this for hours. He really is a master arranger.

Barry is a master in his voice, arrangements, and he means and feels every single word in all his songs. Love you Barry 4ever!!!!♡♡♡

[@nespressoman]

@@BernadetteKearns-cq9vr I disagree that he feels every word in his songs. After all, he said that the love songs were “golden handcuffs”. His heart is not in them at all.

Very interesting conversation. He is so intellegent and a wonderful artist so very gifted thank you barry manilow❤

[@inproper3952]

Barry is BeYOND talented. It’s truly a gift from God to do what he does so beautifully! I just admire this man so very much! I want to see him live in Vegas so badly!!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Fantastic interviewer I loved every minute.

[@seanashmore8785]

Finally!! What a stunning interview. It actually showed that Manilow is a deep and thinking musician - all to often he is not interviewed in the right depth. Thaank you for doing this.

Thanks. This is exactly why I do this. Subscribe and listen to the many other interviews on Radio Richard to hear great talents explaining what they do.

I remember reading the critics articles. They never had a CLUE!!!!! This man is so blessed with all that talent and compassion. Love him..

[@betsybasile-n6d]

I have always loved Barry Manilow and this is the first time I found this interview. I have watched many of Barry's interviews, but I find that Mr. Niles, this is by far the best interview I have ever seen and I have followed Barry since 1974 so I saw him and his career be so very difficult in the beginning as the critics really jabbed him, but as he went on I knew he was going to be a very big Number 1 Entertainer. Thank you Mr. Niles for sharing this with us, his fans and somethng we can watch whenever. You did a great job................Betsy Basile

[@lorrainefeldt2062]

This is great! I enjoy hearing him discuss his work. I could listen on and on. He is such an interesting person . You can truly see how much he loves music.

Probably my favourite interview ever - and I've seen many! So different. Fresh. Love the questions and dynamic. Fabulous. I wanted it to last for a few hours. Never seen Barry so relaxed and comfortable. Thank you.

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Barry....This interview is so wonderfully interesting. I always wondered how you did all the unbelievable things you did. I never heard anybody do an interview like this before. Your songs were and not now syrupy . People just don't realize what goes into all your videos and concerts. Your timbre is amazing and a lot of people would find this interview with Richard Niles kind of boring. They want to hear your songs, but I have been a musical person most of my life. Really enjoyed this, Mr. Niles, and of course, I love you Barry forever and a day. Betsy Basile

Thank you for this detailed interview about how Barry made his songs so unique and interesting. Even though I am not a musician, I like that Barry was so candid in your interview Richard. The one topic you did not cover with Barry was the song "Copacabana" and how the popularity of the song became a television movie that Barry starred in before becoming a musical theater production. Given that Barry never was a trained actor and changed the "Copacabana" plot in which instead of Tony dying as in the song and tv movie, Rico dies in the musical comedy and Lola and Tony have the traditional happy ending that you have in musical comedy. Hopefully, Richard will interview Barry again,
