Manilow’s first hit single, “Mandy,” was #1 on the charts in 1974; it was the first of a string of two dozen hit singles, including “Weekend In New England,” “Copacabana,” “I Write the tunes ” and “Can’t Smile without You.”

In terms of both record sales and career longevity, Barry Manilow is one of the the majority successful adult contemporary singers ever. That success hasn’t necessarily translated to respect (or even ironic hipster appreciation) in the majority quarters; Manilow’s music has been much maligned by critics and audiences a prefer, particularly the romantic ballads that made his career, which were derided as maudlin schlock even during his heyday. It is true that Manilow’s taste for swelling choruses and lush arrangements frequently bordered on bombastic, but un prefer a lot of of his MOR peers, Manilow was not aiming to make smooth, restrained background music — he conceived of himself as a pop entertainer and all-around showman in the classic mold, and his concert and stage shows were accordingly theatrical.
