ChrisL Posted February 18, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 18, 2022 I ever tell you my Barry Manilow story? Well I you are gonna read it anyway… Sony Pictures circa 1995 and I’m feeling couped up in my office so I go for a walk. I head over to Overland Gate which is the main gate & I help out the gate guards. One of the guys says ooh glad you are here I really have to go to the bathroom. Yeah man I got this, take off… So Barry Manilow is doing a recording and a bunch of his musicians are arriving. I have the roster & as each pulls up they say “musician for Barry Manilow”. OK please park in the structure & go to stage 15… After 15-20 of these guys comes in a car pulls up, stops and I’m checking the roster waiting for the guy to say something. After a few seconds of silence I ask if he’s here for Barry Manilow? I am Barry Manilow… I look up and sure as shit it’s Barry Manilow! Oh yea yes you are! Welcome to Sony Pictures you have a parking spot outside stage 15, know where to go? Yeah thanks! He shakes my hand & drives in. Now if that was Barbara Streisand the next thing she would have done is call the a president of Sony Pictures and demand my termination. That bitch had about 20 people fired, about 5 of my team for total bulll shit reasons.. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every thing else there's bands that I like and bands I don't. There's music that I like to listen to that you might think that they are overrated and I think that they are underrated.

Kirby Posted February 18, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2022 I think he's the Michael Bolton of his era. Or maybe Michael Bolton is the Barry Mannilow of his era. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted February 18, 2022 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2022 Not my style. I like my music a little grittier, like Waylon Jennnings or Edith Piaf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted February 18, 2022 Share #13 Posted February 18, 2022 I liked his music a lot when it was new and still play it on occasion. At one point he played piano in the band backing up Bette Midler, just as James Taylor played guitar for Carole King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted February 19, 2022 Share #17 Posted February 19, 2022 Barry Manilow was featured on the Clive Davis documentary i watched recently and loved. Barry wanted to do hos own songs but Clive set him up with all the ones that became big hits for him and Barry was quite pleased. So now you know!

Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1997 for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. Using circular breathing, Kenny G held an E-flat for 45 minutes and 47 seconds at J&R Music World in New York City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted February 19, 2022 Share #22 Posted February 19, 2022 I don’t lunge to change the station if Barry Manilow plays. Can’t say the same for Michael Bolton or Kenny G. That said, I never spent a penny on any of their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
