Should put a big smile on his face, mind you you would be hard pressed to tell if he was smiling or in dire need of the loo

Seem to remember he was married to a woman at one stage.
|
|
By:
mandy??
|
|
By:
Has a daughter but since his divorce he's avoided the bermuda triangle at all costs.
|
|
By:
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD he may have to fly that way again
|

By:
Even now?

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 thought Barry was telling the truth when he said "I write the songs"

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!
|

By:
I had no idea he was a chutney ferret.
|
|
By:
I'm sure you're mistaken slicer, history has been rewritten, thinking about it Could it be magic?
|
|
By:
I am not mistaken Mr Buzzer! In this case I was there when history was made.
|
|
By:
Ah well we got there in the end in fact It Looks Like We Made It

I hope the happy couple are not planning a weekend in New England. Population ethnicity has changed remarkably from Old England!

After this revelation Barry will now be singing his songs as they were originally written for him. Look out for:
Andy Could it be mans dick The old dongs Cop-a-banana ![]() |
|
By:
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. |
|
By:
I'm burning all my Barry Manilow records.
|
|
By:
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!

Liberace, Rock and now Barry. Man Alive!

I thought he was straight singing about lola the showgirl with feathers in her hair....
I´ll bet Elton is livid that he didnt even get an invite to the big day! |
|
By:
Who came first, The Kinks or Barry's Lola?
|
|
By:
So is he still getting screwed for 15% then?
|
|
By:
Or will he come and give without taking?
|
|
By:
To be fair, good for him, always thought he too ugly for either sex.
Guess he was the inheritor of Liberace's tradition. |
|
By:
I bet you TSO is tearing his Manilow posters of his bedroom walls as we post.
Never liked the wee fecker. |
|
By:
What would my mother have made of this? She never really recovered from the Mathis revelations. No way could she have coped with this.
|
|
By:
Not as shocking as when Eddie Charlton came out.
|
|
By:
Gay weddings, sign of the times....
I always worry whats going to be next? Its a pity that Bernie Winters didn´t live to see the day so he could marry his beloved Schnorbitz |
|
By:
Eddie Charlton?
|
|
By:
I think he's having a laugh.
Steady Eddie died over 10 years ago and had been married twice. |
|
By:
oh ghandi
|
|
By:
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. |
