Barry Manilow wrote the songs … and now he sings them one last time
From his early days as Bette Midler’s accompanist, playing piano in the Continental Baths, to writing some of the biggest hit songs of the 1970s to performing them as a respected crooner, he’s been a gay icon since long before he “officially” came out. Now 72, he’s touring in what will probably be his final major concert. Expect all the hits (“Mandy,” “Weekend in New England,” “Copacabana,” “I Write the Songs”) and maybe to tear up a little. Even if you’re a newcomer to his music, it’s easy to become a Fanilow.
