[@CyndiRoberts-m4s]

I still get goosebumps when i hear this wonderful man. Been a fan since the beginning since Mandy!

[@lauriegills773]

Forever love him!!!❤

[@betsybasile-n6d]

You say "The Prelude" so seriously when this one starts. You know I love this Prelude by Frederic Chopin in C Minor and every time I find this song, I know the prelude will be in it and I must listen to it. You are so powerful on the piano and singing. I think you really enjoy this one as much as we,your fans do. Love you always......................Betsy Blue-Eyes

[@bethbrendlinger7559]

[@SJHUE]

In an alternate universe this is the most popular and famous song/singer of all time. I like to think it might be so...

[@jbjacobs9514]

Actually there was a time where it was not an alternate universe. He was so at one time - but for all of us, forever!

[@DuncanEduardo]

He has Chopin to thank for this masterpiece. The Csus4 chord is hauntingly beautiful and is the key to unlocking the yearning beauty of this piece

[@nannyplum0194]

And we have God to thank for Barry's exquisite talents ....❤❤❤

[@betsybasile-n6d]

The Prelude and I love it. I am going to watch you -play the piano tonight. Another one on the top of my playlist.................Betsy

[@ij1373]

How Id love Love to feel❤❤❤

[@MarkSentMe]

I had not heard a Barry Manilow song since middle school (1978) Then I was in Panama (the country) in 1988 and this song came on the Panamania radio station at about 3 in the morning and I had never heard it before.

[@jacquetrosper274]

What a memory😊

[@kazza5599]

This was very valid first hit as I recall. And to this day for me, is the sexiest song ever sung. Still gives me goosies!

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Here comes the Prelude by frederic Chopin in C Minor. I love every song that starts with the Prelude as we get to see you play the classical piano which you are so very good at and this song is amazing to . How do you do this? One is better than the last and you do this one with all the power and passion in your heart. I love you, Barry....................The Dancing Queen BB 1965...............BB

[@BettyGoodman-hd4wr]

The way he puts the two songs together is beautiful

[@betsybasile-n6d]

As usual the Prelude in C Minor by frederec Chopin drew me into this one first as I love to watch you play the piano with your classical training as I am fascinated with your talent, Barry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Love, Betsy

A-mazing. Gave me chills. Barry has the most beautiful voice ever. He considers himself an "ok" piano player, lol. He's brilliant. I loved to watch his hands here. An incredible talent. I went to see him live, front row, every single month from 2008 -2011 as a special treat to myself after a bad divorce. What a ride that was! I met him a few times in Vegas and he's a darling. How I love that man. ❤

His voice surrounds you and is with such feeling. The so called singers now...

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Love the prelude and watching you play the piano. IT IS FASCINATING watching the expanse of your hands. You were definitely born to play the piano, classical and everything else, but some people do not even understand what kind of training and practice it takes to be as great as you are and you are also singing most of those songs. All your songs, how do you remember the music and the song and never make a mistake. You are GRAND, Barry.................Love.......................Betsy B

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Oh to be able to paint pictures with words and music like Barry does is brilliant.

[@subwaygoddess1]

@Barry Manilow, I saw you at Radio City Music Hall in 2023 and twice in 2024. I hope to see you back there in October 2024. This is my favorite of all your songs. I'd love to hear you perform this as it is here. Donna Summer's version doesn't cut it, except on a dancefloor. You created this masterpiece, and I've waited to hear you sing it like this from the 1st time I ever heard it. I never got to your concerts until now, and I truly hope I get to hear it the way I love it most. ✌️🎶

[@MargretAveryMusic-qu5uo]

I'm with you on this - I was at Radio City as well, and waited for this song, and you are so right, the Donna Summer version doesn't cut it.....will go back in October and pray he plays it like this video....hopefully someone in his camp will read this and pass it on to Barry!!! It is my favorite song of his and I am a Fanilow forever!!

[@subwaygoddess1]

@MargretAveryMusic-qu5uo I would give most anything to hear Barry sing it as he wrote it. I've loved it from the 1st time I ever heard it. Donna Summer honored this song in her disco way, she was the Queen Of Disco, and I was on the disco dancefloors losing my mind to her version, oh, but when Barry sings it as he wrote it, nothing compares

[@jeansweeney6226]

Pretty sure my heart skipped a beat or two at 3:26 and beyond. What a performance!

You put your whole heart and soul into this one when you sing it whether you were very young or when you are older now like I am.

I couldn't find this for a couple weeks, but tonight was my night. I love The Prelude by Frederic Chopin in C Minor as I get to see you play the piano which to me is mesmerizing as that is one of your many talents that some people don't even look at. You sing this one with so much power and energy where it fits. At the end of this one you stand up, shake your head and then your eyes get really big. You put your entire self into this song. Love you always, Barry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile

[@betsybasile-n6d]

You have to be tired after this performance. Love it and you........Betsy Basile

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Oh, it's the Prelude again which I always have to watch that video as you passioniatly sing and play the piano which mesmerizes me as your classical skill is incredible. I was a musician myself in the early years. I really enjoy watching you play. The expanse of the size of your hands is incredible. You were born to do this. Then at the end you shake your head and your blue eyes get so big because of all the energy you put into doing this song. Love you always.........................Betsy Basile

[@JDQEntity]

Uh, can we hear a big "Holy Shit!" for this? The Grammy's the other night would come to a halt and then most of the artists would flee if this were thrown in. Why? It's MELODY and TALENT and PROFESSIONALISM. Also, whenever Barry does this with an orchestra freely as possible, he knows he has nothing to prove. I mean, who the hell cares if Beyonce has 32 freaking Grammy's? I'd love it if the music industry brought out the melody-making/melody-singing artists at least on video in those shows. For how amazing this composition is that Barry wrote with assistance from Adrienne Anderson, it never was never considered for a Grammy. It took a disco novelty cut in the later seventies, still with orchestration and plenty of cleverness, to win a Grammy. Dance cuts were made out of "Could It Be Magic" all over the place. The Chopin Prelude in C Minor was written as a funeral procession and was used as such. (Back when I was an 11 year old I knew the old organist at the church I attended played Chopin's piece all the time before any funeral Mass. -What do you think I used to run to the priest presiding and say because I was a nerd and a misfit serving the funerals as an altar boy? "Monsignor, why is Bronus playing Barry Manilow's song?" "I know what you're talking about," he said one and patted my shoulder, "Barry Manilow used it differently for his own song. You listen to your mom's or your dad's records a lot don't you, Christopher?" "No, I have it on tape. I taped it so I wouldn't scratch the record." "Hmmm. I have a turntable but I don't have a tape player. I'll have to listen to that album." "You wanna borrow my tape?" "Maybe after Mass, Chris." "Ok!" "You're something else," Monsignor Meier chuckled. "My Nanny and Grandpa might let you borrow my tape player. It's at their house." "That's your father's parents, right? You see them on the weekends when you visit your father." "Yeah, my dad was here Sunday when I served Mass at 6:30 with you. He brought me." --- I never shut up as a kid about Barry or Bobby Vinton or Kenny Rogers or Anne Murray. (I still don't.) Barry wouldn't want me not keeping the kid inside me alive. I do "Could It Be Magic" in karaoke frequently enough.

[@betsybasile-n6d]

The Frederic Chopin Prelude in C Minor is so melodic and always I want to sit by you at the piano and watch up close you playing it. That is one dream I have. You put so much of yourself in this wonderful video. I also can tell that you love to do it as at the end and you stand up, you shake your head and then your eyes get so large , I think because you have put so much energy in this one that you are exhausted when it is over. Love it and you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Blue-Eyes

[@betsybasile-n6d]

OK, the Chopin Prelude in C Minor are always my most favorite songs you sing and we can watch you play the piano which is so very wonderful as we don't usually see that in any of your videos. This one is just so great. Love it.........................Betsy Blue-Eyes
