The Lifestyle of Barry Manilow ★ Hobbies, Houses & Husband

[@julieblakeman9364]

The only man I can forgive for making me cry. Love this guy so much and have since 1978. There will never be another like him ❤️

[@suewilson8818]

He;s been a favorite of mine for 50 years, from Mandy to Avenue C to American Bandstand to Time in New England. What a voice --- timeless and eternal.

[@mymrbailey1]

I think he’s wonderful! His music will live on forever!!❤❤

So will his sore butt

[@amyrobb6169]

My daughter and granddaughter took me in July 2024, to his concert in Indianapolis, his Final Tour concert. I have been lucky enough to attend 7 of his concerts, and at 81, he still gave his all at his Final Tour concert. I have been fortunate enough to be his fan since 1971, and I have his first album! I loved him then and I still love him. I don’t care if he’s married to another man. Love is love and I love his singing and showmanship! I will listen to his music as long as I’m alive! ❤️❤️❤️

[@randysgurl1314]

I was there….second row!!!!AMAZING!!!

[@William2512]

Very well spoken

[@Charlie1943.]

Barry doesn't know this and probably never will. I discovered Barry in 1977 by what can only be an act of God. For God knew what was in store for me and gave me the gift of Barry and his Manilow Magic. ✨ Barry's music led me through some of the loneliest times in my younger years. For a very long time, Barry and his music were my only friend. Now that I'm older and wiser, I look back at those times and am eternally grateful God gave me Barry. 🙏🏼 I can't imagine what other road I might have taken if I hadn't had Barry's music to fill the void of loneliness. Barry, I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you forever! Thank you so much!!! 💜🎶

[@Lynnelim]

There is something in his voice which touches the inner soul. Totally agreed with your experience. He has his own youtube channel.

[@roccosophie6498]

Barry had the good sense enough to know that politics, have no place in legendary entertainment. That's why I'll always be a fan.

[@jeffschueler1182]

That is exactly right. I wish that all entertainers had his savvy and common sense. He is not controversial because he does not invite controversy. He is a class act 💯

I grew up with his music and he will always bring back memories of my mom. Saw him in concert a few years ago and he was amazing. Told his family backstory and spoke very fondly of his grandfather. He is an amazing singer, songwriter and entertainer.❤

[@RandyGoldfarb]

I’ve been a fan of Barry’s for many years now.i have had the privilege of seeing him in concert 8 times. He is an amazing singer and performer. He has the stage presence like Sinatra. I was also privileged to see his musical Harmony twice . He and Bruce did an amazing job with both the music and lyrics. I love him for the person he is . And I wish Barry & Gary a lifetime of success and happiness.

[@sherrywoodard8562]

He’s been my most favorite singer since forever! His songs spoke to me and gave me hope when I felt there was none. My favorite song is Even Now! I can’t hear it enough! I love this man!

[@dagmarcrmanova9358]

I am from Europe and my whole life dream is once to attend Barry' s live concert. In the past if was impossible, I lived behind the iron courtain and even if Vienna, Austria was just 45 minutes by car, the border was closed. Now Barry stopped coming here (to Europe) except UK and to buy tickets to his concerts somewhere in America is very complicated. So my dream will probably never come true. Never will be born such an artist like him.

Barry is a so much talented artist. I love many of his ballads. Sad he has to hide his personal life for so long for fear to lose his fans. That never should happen, we value the talent and the music and it seems he is a great person as well. Thanks for the video on one of the American pop music icons.

I was 6 in 1974. I was playing with Barbie’s when Barry came on the TV. My mom told the story often. When i heard him singing i threw the Barbie’s down and went and sat 2 inches from the TV and didn’t move till he was done. When the song ended i looked at my mom, with tears in my eyes and said “I love him!!!!”. I am 56 now and that hasn’t changed!!! This man is amazing!!! I got to do a meet n greet 2years ago in Columbus, Ohio…..a lifelong dream come true!!! H is so nice…..and smells amazing!!!❤

[@ernieragogini3994]

Manilow didn’t come out because he didn’t want to disappoint his fans??? He didn’t come out because he feared for his career. He also went to a hack Doc for his face “update”. But……he is gifted and deserves the best. Problem is, too many inaccuracies in the video.

[@ridgebriar17]

Agree I believe Manilow has always said it was his step father that introduced him to the kind of music that inspired him to follow that path.

I have always loved Barry and his songs even to this day but I like his face the way that it was back in the 80s and on his older album covers. He wears entirely too much makeup while it does not look like his husband does. That disappoints me but it's not for me to say what he does with his life. While I don't agree with a lot of his life, that has nothing to do with his fabulous voice and his music. God has certainly gifted this man with his talents.

I wonder what Mandy thought when he came out.

[@ridgebriar17]

It is a well known fact that the original song - initially called "Brandy" - was written and performed by another artist who gave it more of a rock tempo - Manilow was asked by his manager - to take the original song and turn it into something more appealing to help him become more successful. He turned it into a ballad - and skyrocketed him into super stardom. NOTE: THERE WAS **NO** MANDY or BRANDY. Also keep in mind he married to his HS gf when he got out of high school ... but he was given an opportunity to pursue a career in music - which turned out to be the best decision he ever made. His ex wife and he - have nothing but nice things to say about each other.
