My favourite song by Barry is Somewhere in the Night which was on the "b" side of Copacabana in the UK. It was written by Richard Kerr and  Will Jennings and Barry's version was a cover of Richard Kerr's original version. IMHO Barry's version is the best of all released. Helen Reddy's version is crepe compared to it, but I never liked Helen Reddy anyway.

I hope this snippet of information enhances the syrupy middle of the road pop knowledge of all forumites.

He certainly wasn't Mr Buzzer. In fact his breakthrough hit Mandy was a cover of Scott Englishes original Brandy- a tune I remember hearing on the pirate station Radio Caroline!

After this revelation Barry will now be singing his songs as they were originally written for him. Look out for:

The old dongs

No chance Barry's still Tryin to get the feeling again so that rules out them trying to make Beautiful Music All The Time.
He can't even laugh at any best man jokes unless his doctor is present because he Can't Smile Without Him.

The evidence was there for all to see if there had been Specsavers when Barry started out. He played the piano for Bette Midler at " male bath houses". It just goes to show that there are many shade of grey when it comes to pink!

To be fair, good for him, always thought he too ugly for either sex.

Guess he was the inheritor of Liberace's tradition.

My apologies, Bodil, it's something of a running joke.

I once caused a huge argument on here, later spilling over onto the snooker forum, when I innocently commented that Eddie Charlton was a raging homosexual.  It was only several days later it dawned on me that it wasn't steady Eddie I was thinking of at all, it was Liberacé.
