Barry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus, June 17, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter, arranger, musician, producer and actor, with a career that has spanned more than 50 years. His hit recordings include "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "I Write the Songs", "Can't Smile Without You" and "Copacabana (At the Copa)". He recorded and released 51 Top 40 singles on the Adult Contemporary Chart, including 13 that hit number one, 28 appeared within the top ten, and 36 in the top twenty. Manilow has released 13 platinum and six multi-platinum albums. Although not a favorite artist of music critics, Manilow has been praised by entertainers including Frank Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s as saying, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you." As well as producing and arranging albums for himself and other artists, Manilow has written and performed songs for musicals, films, and commercials for corporations such as McDonald's, Pepsi-Cola, and Band-Aid, from the 1960s. He has been nominated for a Grammy Award (winning once) as a producer, arranger and performer a total of fifteen times (and in every decade) from 1973 to 2015. He has also produced Grammy-nominated albums for Bette Midler, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Wilson and Sarah Vaughan. Manilow has sold more than 75 million records as a solo artist worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists.
This arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Price was excellent as well.All of his important songs are here - from Mandy to 'When October goes' plus one new song - 'Let Freedom Ring'. Sound is almost perfect as you would expect. It also includes several of his covers of 1950s, 1960s and 1970 songs.Of course in a collection this vast there always a couple of clunkers - everyone will have their own but for me it's 'I am Your Child' and' Lonely Together'. But nearly every song is at least very good. We're had the good fortune to see Barry 4 times live. The first time was in Bloomington, IN in late 1980 or early 1981. At that time I considered that concert one of the best I've ever seen and it still ranks in my top 5 or 6. The last time we saw him was about 2 years ago in Indianapolis (Bankers Life Fieldhouse) from the second row and he still put on a super show.Manilow and his music are quite simply embedded in many peoples lives and this collection shows us why.I would rate this collection a 9.0 to 9.5 out of 10. Recommended for Manilow fans, anyone who likes 1970s to late 1980's music, in fact just about anyone who like good music!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!I purchased this CD collection for my sister's birthday present since she has adored Barry Manilow for 30 years now. While I have not personally listened to it, she has thanked me profusely multiple times for her gift, saying it has all of her favorites as well as a few new tunes she had never heard before but enjoys. Given her reaction, I would recommend this collection to anyone who seriously loves Manilow's music. She's owned it for 3 days now and has thanked me every day since she received it!My wife, who has always been a Barry Manilow fan, is constantly trying to get me to see him in concert. I personally think he’s a little bit on the syrupy side, but the box set is excellent with all the hits that you’ll ever want to hear and now she is satisfied and doesn’t ask me for the concert anymore. I’m happy because she is happy. Thank heavens.Barry Manilow The Box Set Series was received in excellent condition and on the expected date.
