About Barry Manilow
Barry was born Barry Alan Pincus in June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York. He later adopted his mother's maiden name Manilow as his legal surname, thus Barry Manilow was born.
Barry Manilow began playing the piano as a young child. After graduating from high school, he was accepted as a student at the Juilliard School of Music. Following his years as a student, Barry Manilow began writing theme music for television shows and commercials. He became one of the most successful ad jingle writers. "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there," "I am stuck on Band-Aid," and McDonald's "You deserve a break today" were among his major successes.
In 1971 Barry Manilow met Bette Midler. She hired him as her pianist, arranger, and musical director. He accompanied her as she performed and gained a strong following from men attending New York City's notorious gay bathhouses. Barry Manilow produced her first two albums and had the opportunity to introduce some of his own music at her 1972 concert at Carnegie Hall.
