I was in 4th grade when the song Mandy came out. I was the only Mandy in my school. It was not a popular name in 1974. I didn’t like my name because I could never find it in a key chain or a mug. Then Barry Manilow sang a song just for me. It was awesome.

I love Barry Manilow. One of the greats.

[todddoetken]

EVERY one of his songs is a classic. You can never hear them enough. Thank you, Barry Manilow.

When I was a kid loving Barry I called the radio station so much to request Mandy they told me to stop. That was with a rotary phone. Lol

I seen Barry Manilow in concert about 10 years ago. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen! I’ve loved him since childhood! 😍

[TexasMom]

I’ve seen Barry in concert twice!!! His music is timeless! I still remember hearing Mandy at an 8th grade dance back in 1975… 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[GaemerJosh]

I’m so happy to see references to Mandy. A lot of people in my generation don’t know good music like this or many others of this era and before. ❤️

[thomasdewitt]

How great is it a young man can appreciate the fantastic music we took for granted back in the day. Proof Barry's music will last for generations

[Music-hyyd]

Barry Manilow has got such a quick humor. I love it.

[VikPaints]

He's a music genius, one of the best writers of music during my lifetime, I'm so grateful to have seen him quite a few times in concert.

Barry Manilow!!! You are a generational icon!! Do you even know how much effect you had on so many of our YOUNG lives! I hope you love yourself, as much as WE love you!! ❤💖🌹

Aww William White looked so nervous but this was super sweet. He brought Barry's music to another generation and that is just awesome!

[naturally]

I loooove Barry Manilow, and his music, especially his greatest hits album, such a classic!! Mandy is such a beautiful heartfelt song! Watch out William, with those dreamy eyes!😄

[MommaYeager]

Barry Manilow was the first album I ever had (probably in the 70’s). I played it over and over again until my sister broke the album in half so she didn’t have to hear it anymore! I am still a huge fan!

I fell in love to Barry's music when I was in high school back in 1980. My girlfriend and I refused to remove Barry's greatest hits 8 track tape from the player in my truck. Our friends got so used to hearing it also that we would have "sing a longs" together on the tailgate 😂. It was one of the happiest times of my life. Being 17 y/o, made $50 a week at my "after school" job. I always had money. Gas was .50 cents a gallon. We didn't have to have car insurance. My old truck was paid for due to saving from a summer time job. I was in heaven 👏🤗. Thank you Barry for all your music that has made us who we are today.

I have been listening to Barry since about 1974. I have always loved his music. It is timeless. It’s wonderful to see the younger generation being exposed to real music. Great for that Dad to share his love for Barry’s music with his son!

[poppykoch]

I took my dearest Mum & Dad to see Barry as a surprise when they flew from the UK to Australia to see me and my daughter. Both my Mum and Dad have now left us but my memory of the day when I said we were going to see...and their faces on that night when we saw Barry M at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre will stay with me forever! Thank you....
