Interview on WGN TV-Chicago...
WGN: Why the 50's and how much pressure is there remaking songs that people already love?
Barry: Really, there was pressure. The scariest one of all [was] "Unchained Melody" ... Who can top the Righteous Brothers rendition of that? I did the best I could. I like it. I think that everybody is going to like this rendition of it. But you're right, it was daunting to do an Elvis song or a Johnny Mathis song or an Everly Brothers song.
WGN: Last time you were here, you were telling us that you had your eye on Broadway, producing some things. Is that also on your list of things to do?
Barry: Ohhh yeah ... I bet you you'll be hearing a lot of that within the next couple of months ... This is the hardest thing I've ever been involved with in my life, but I think we're just about there.
WGN: Barry, talk about your fans. Barry was on my radio show not too long ago. It was pouring rain and we were in the showcase window, people stood outside in a lightning storm to see you out there. And that's not untypical of the enthusiasm of your fans.
Barry: Yeah, they're fantastic. Some of them have been with me from the beginning and I can't say 'thank you' enough because I look out in the audience and I see faces that I recognize. And some of those faces were standing out in that rain. I don't even know an artist that I would do that for. It just amazes me that they're still with me.
Interview on CBS-11 Dallas / Fort Worth...
CBS-11: Now talk to us just a little bit about your latest album "The Greatest Songs of the Fifties." Why did you decide to put it together?
Barry: It's an idea that came out of the brilliant mind of the president of Arista Records, the record company that I'm with, that I've been with a million years. Clive Davis came to me and said, "I think I've got an idea that could be a hit album, 'The Greatest Songs of the Fifties.'" And I really didn't get it when he told it to me because the Fifties music kind of passed me by when I was younger. The music that I connected with was later on, was like the Beatles or something. So I went and kind of investigated the songs that came out of the 50s and they're great. I knew them all - "Rags to Riches," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "It's All In The Game," and of course, "Unchained Melody," the Elvis song, "Are You Lonesome Tonight" ... You know, some of them, 'Sh-boom, Sh-boom, ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da'? That didn't sound like me. And that 'Get a job, na na na na na'? We dumped all of those. And what wound up on this album were 13 #1 records, and they sound great. I think you'll love it.
CBS-11: Of course we're going to love it! You've had over 25 Top 40 hits, you've sold over 75 million dollars in record sales, named one of the best Adult Contemporary artists, what is your favorite song?
Barry: Out of all of them? It's the very first one that I wrote, even one year before Mandy came out. It's a song called "Could It Be Magic" and it was based on a Chopin Prelude. And the record I made on my first album -- which NOBODY bought -- ran 7 minutes long! But I just thought, Oh my God, this is like a breakthrough record. Nobody bought it. But after "Mandy" came out, they went back to "Could It Be Magic" and edited it down to a proper length and it turned out to be another hit record, but that's probably my favorite one so far.

Barry Manilow Croons For ET
Barry Manilow was joined by Clive Davis during a 'private concert' and interview at the piano for ET's Vanessa Minnillo. Barry performed snippets of "Mandy," "Copacabana," "I Write The Songs," "Can't Smile Without You," and "Looks Like We Made It," in promotion of Barry's latest album, "The Greatest Songs of the Fifties." Also spotlighted was the "Ultimate Manilow" DVD (taped April 2002 at the Kodak Theatre).
With more than 40 albums, 75 million records sold and 40 number one hits, the legendary Barry Manilow now taps into a relatively untouched genre of music with his highly anticipated CD -- The Greatest Songs of the Fifties! "Being given the opportunity to co-produce, co-arrange, and sing these rarely sung golden standards is a privilege," Barry says about his new work. "I hope they affect a new generation of listeners as deeply as they did those of us who were there." The fun album, due to hit stores on January 31, includes 13 number one hits from the decade, including Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight," Tony Bennett's "Rags to Riches" and Frank Sinatra's "Young At Heart." "When it came to today's radio and coming up with a concept ... there was one decade that seemed to be overlooked when I looked through what songs were being recorded and it was really the great songs of the '50s," says Arista Records' Clive Davis. Barry says he was blown away with the idea, which Clive presented to him when he visited his Las Vegas show. "When he suggested this idea to me, I slapped my forehead and said, 'Why hasn't anyone thought of this idea?'" Barry says. "But of course there is only one Clive Davis. I feel honored and terribly fortunate to be working with him again after all these years. It's like coming home." And is there a tour in the works? "If this album actually hits I wouldn't be surprised if you saw me somewhere other than Vegas," Barry reveals. |

Barry Manilow and Clive Davis talk about
The Greatest Songs Of The FiftiesBarry Manilow on covering songs made famous by well-known artists: Very intimidating. Either I was very brave or very stupid to tackle these songs. My challenge was to stick to the original feeling of the songs, do it the way everyone wants to hear it, but somehow put myself into it.
Barry on working with Clive Davis: Clive comes to me with these ideas that sometimes I don't agree with but I would say 99% of the time, he's right, and he came up with this idea, this new album ... I don't even know what to say about Clive Davis; I've never met anybody with this kind of genius. It is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent. I've always said he's got the ears of a teenager and the mind of an executive.
Barry on performing hit songs night after night: I work all day on every song so that when I do it, it's as fresh as if I had never sung it before. You've gotta find the truth in it, and there are nights when I can't find it, and as soon as that happens I take it out of the show.
Barry on going 'off the road': 35 years of hotel rooms and late room service and late planes, and after awhile you just want your life back. I don't feel I need to prove anything anymore. I'm just having a ball. And what's really the big difference is that it's really about the audiences these days. It's not about me. I don't need anymore applause in my whole life. What really turns me on is watching these people have a good time. And I'll be there for as long as they want me to.

Interview with Barry Manilow
What prompted "The Greatest Songs of The Fifties" (according to Barry) was Clive Davis who came to him with the idea, suggesting the public may be tired of the 30's and 40's, but "no one has touched the 50's." Barry said he looked at the roster of songs that were #1 in the 50's, crawled into them and studied them, then gave it a try. Barry noted he was more influenced by the 60s. Swing was going out, Rock & Roll was going in. This stuff was in the middle.
Throughout his pop career, Barry said he really didn't look at the trend machine, didn't pay much attention to what else was going on out there, just did what felt right. Starting with "Mandy" and going to "Read 'Em And Weep," even "Weekend In New England" (a hit record that's a waltz and doesn't have the title in the song) ... he just had this small piece of the pie.
About the hurricane of success, Barry said it's kind of dangerous for new artists as nobody teaches you how to handle that; they come out with very little experience (e.g., American Idol). "People that Clive finds do have depth and craft to them. Can't say that about everything I hear on the radio, but Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson... they're the real deal."
As far as continuing to do what he does, Barry said he's a musician in his heart and as long as there's an audience out there, he'll be making music forever.
Barry took calls from a couple of fans (Robin, Liz). In response to Barry's latest album possibly charting at #1, Barry replied, "if that's true, then all I can say is if you live long enough, anything is possible! [The album] is full of nostalgia, but lots of young people are connecting with these songs. I think the album is just a beautiful album."
Barry also spoke about his current show at the Las Vegas Hilton (Manilow: Music and Passion). And how about a "Greatest Songs of the Sixties"...? Barry: "Ill follow Clive's lead." |

Barry opened with few lines of "Could It Be Magic," then gave the audience a little history of how it began at Bell Records, then "Clive took over Arista Records and kept me on the label" which led to their first hit record.

Barry Manilow responds to his Emmy nomination for the PBS Special Manilow: Music and Passion From Stage 28, it's the new lady in Barry Manilow's life and her name is: Emmy! Barry is about to go for TV Gold and he tells us he feels like he's made it: "It's been so long since I've been nominated for anything. I don't know if my tuxedo fits anymore." For a guy who's had 38 Top 40 hits and 13 albums that have gone platinum or better, you'd think Mr. Music would have stacks of Emmys and you'd be wrong. "I won for Best Special of the Year back in... 1821!" It was really 1977 and we've been with Barry for every note ... Barry's current hit show at the Las Vegas Hilton was captured in the PBS Special "Barry Manilow: Music and Passion" now out on DVD and that's what got him his Emmy nod. "It just goes to show you, if you hang in there long enough, anything is possible! - Barry on ET"I never get nominated for anything!" (Well, not really, Barry... The legendary singer is up for his 4th Emmy nod, this time for his PBS Vegas Special; the man who makes the whole world sing first grabbed Emmy gold 30 years ago) "Thank God I've still got my hair!" - Barry on Extra! Barry's been making the whole world sing for three decades. He's sold over 75 million albums, performed over 3000 concerts and has 28 platinum albums and he's not done yet. 2006 has been a Big Barry Year: "This year has been extraordinary." Not only did his Greatest Songs of the Fifties album top the charts, his 2006 PBS Special has earned him an Emmy nomination. Barry's special Manilow: Music and Passion earned a total of two nominations but he was singled out for his performance. "I really didn't even think about it. I never get nominated. I got nominated back in 1821 when I started." The category Barry is nominated in has some stiff competition. The nominees in Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program includes David Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Hugh Jackman and Stephen Colbert ... "It's sort of an odd category. You would think there would be a music category, and a David Letterman kind of category" (and in response to the other nominees) "I'm such a fan and such an admirer of these guys that can do this every night and make us laugh." - Barry on E! News The nomination for Manilow PBS Special earned Barry his first Emmy nod in quite some time. "Since 1821, yes, really it's been like 30 years ... hey, I'm on a roll, every 30 years I'll get nominated! ... I thought maybe I would kind of just go quietly into the night singing 'Mandy' to four people that are left." - Barry on Access Hollywood Barry Manilow's Big Nomination: "I got a phone call at 6:30 in the morning, it woke me up and these people were yelling and screaming that I got this Emmy nomination for this wonderful Music and Passion show." 1977 was the year Barry won his first Emmy Award. The prime time Emmy Awards air live August 27th on NBC. Barry says he is honored to be nominated but Even Now it's not about the awards or accolades, it's about having fun. "We're just having a ball, I'll just stay there forever." - Barry on The Insider |

For decades Clark hosted "American Bandstand," and he's infamous for hosting his New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square.

Now faithful fans will see their friend once again Sunday night when Clark takes his place on the Emmy stage, joined by none other than Barry Manilow. "Extra" spoke with Barry inside the Architectural Digest green room Friday morning. Manilow's first national TV appearance was on "American Bandstand", and he co-wrote the show's famous theme song, which he will sing Sunday night... |

58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards |
Barry Manilow to Perform "American Bandstand" Musical Tribute Television industry icon Dick Clark will be honored as part of this year's "58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards." Musical legend and current Emmy nominee Barry Manilow, who co-wrote the lyrics with Bruce Sussman and sang the words to the catchy "American Bandstand" theme song "Bandstand Boogie," will perform a special musical tribute. Manilow and Clark's friendship spans several decades, beginning when Manilow made his first national TV appearance singing "Mandy" on "American Bandstand." Manilow went on to appear on numerous "American Bandstand" episodes as well as Clark's New Year's Eve specials and "The American Music Awards" among others.
Manilow's smash hit PBS television special "MANILOW: MUSIC AND PASSION" has earned two Emmy nominations. The special was nominated for "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety or Music Special." Manilow was nominated for his first individual Emmy in the "Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program" category...
...And WON! (Congratulations, Barry!!)
