Barry Manilow birthday salute

Barry Manilow has sold more than 75 million records as a solo artist worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists. Although not a favorite artist of music critics, Manilow has been praised by entertainers including Frank Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s as saying, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you." You write the songs, Barry, happy birthday!
