Early life
Manilow was born Barry Alan Pincus on June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York. His parents came from a Russian Jewish ancestry.
His grandparents had a strong influence on his life.
Career:
1960s: Beginnings
Following graduation, Manilow enrolled himself at the New York College of Music and Juilliard. While at CBS in 1964, Manilow met Bro Herrod, a director, who asked him to arrange some public domain songs for a musical adaptation of the melodrama, The Drunkard. Instead, he wrote an entire original score. The musical became a success and ran Off-Broadway for eight years at the 13th Street Theatre in New York.
1970s: Success
At the Continental Baths in New York City his association with Bette Midler began from 1970 to 1971. Later, when Manilow had an album of his own released, she allowed him to sing three songs during her intermissions.
1980s: Midlife
The 1980s gave Manilow the Adult Contemporary chart-topping hit songs "The Old Songs", "Somewhere Down The Road" and "Read 'Em And Weep".
In England, Manilow had five sold-out performances at the Royal Albert Hall. In the United States, he sold out Radio City Music Hall in 1984 for 10 nights and set a box-office sales record of nearly $2 million making him the top draw in the then 52-year history of the Music Hall.
In 1980 his One Voice special was nominated for an Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction".
Also, a concert from Manilow's sold-out shows in 1980, at the Wembley Arena was broadcast while he was on his World Tour. Manilow released the self-titled Barry which was his first album to not reach the top ten in the United States.
1990s: Under Cover
Manilow's album career changed significantly in the 1990s. His recordings switched from him being primarily a singer-songwriter to him being a cover artist. A trend that started with the 1989 release Barry Manilow, continued with his 1990 Christmas LP Because It's Christmas. Consequent "event" albums followed including: Showstoppers, a collection of Broadway songs, Singin' with the Big Bands and a late 1970s collection Summer of '78 which included the Adult-Contemporary hit "I Go Crazy”.
2000s: Comeback
In the beginning of the new century Manilow had two specials, Manilow Country and Manilow Live. In April 2000, The Nashville Network aired the two-hour Manilow Country, which featured country stars, singing their favorite Manilow hits with a "country" twist. Manilow performed as well.
In March 2006, PBS aired Barry Manilow’s Hilton concert Music and Passion, taped exclusively for the network's fundraising drive. Manilow was nominated for two Emmys, winning for "Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program".
A sequel album to his best-selling fifties tribute album, The Greatest Songs of the Sixties was released in October 2006. It nearly repeated the success of its predecesor, debuting at #2 in the Billboard 200.
Manilow returned to his hometown of New York City in January 2007, for three shows at Madison Square Garden. One highlight was the showing onscreen of Manilow performing in one of his first television appearances while the "live" Manilow played along onstage. It was revealed that Manilow will release a CD in July 2007, focusing the decade he became a super-star. The Greatest Songs of the Seventies is set to be released in September 2007.
