- Barry Manilow performs a medley of "Mandy" and "Could It Be Magic" live in 1975 from The Kentucky Derby Concert.
A note from Barry about this show...
This one is a very rare recording. It’s a show we did to open the music portion of the Kentucky Derby in 1975.
My small and talented band and my three beautiful friends and background singers had just begun our tour. “Mandy” had shot to the #1 spot and “It’s A Miracle” was moving up the chart. We were having a great time on the road, but we were broke.
I remember that I bought a Ronco Rinestone Studder that I saw being advertised on some late night show. All of us sat in one of our hotel rooms and studded the skirts that the girls wore, because I couldn’t afford to buy them fancy outfits. (Check out their skirts and you’ll see our handiwork!).
We were so excited to be on the same bill as Blood, Sweat and Tears and headliner, Roberta Flack. The crowd was very kind to us and we left the stage on a real high.
Hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Barry.......1975 and WOW, these songs never cease to amaze me as they are perfect and Mandy really started your career rolling. All of us older fans that have been following you since 1974 were enamoured with you and the passion with which you sing all of your songs. Love you, Barry....................................Betsy Blue-Eyes
Barry Manilow his voice is as good live as recorded. Seeing him in concert I will never forget his show was better than any other concert I had seen. He is the ultimate performer.
Have a wonderful birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇧♥️♥️💯🎂🎂🎂🎂🎊🎊🎂🎂🥳🥳🥳🎂🎂🇬🇧🇬🇧⚘️💋💋❤️🎂🎂🎂🥳🥳🥳
Just saw him 4-20-24 for the first time. I’ve seen some great concerts but this 80 yr old knocked it out of the park.
Best concert I’ve ever seen
I was 14 when we heard this on the radio the first time. Me, my brother and some friends were out in the game shed behind the friend's house, playing ping pong. When Mandy came on the radio, we stopped playing and just stood there and listened. It was so good we never wanted it to end! Such a remarkable, special memory that we will always treasure. Barry, you are an international treasure and have had so much success; but if this were the only song you ever performed, it would be good enough for a lifetime. All good wishes to Barry and the fans!
A great song. Still holds up 50 years later.
If you ever get a chance to attend one of his concerts, do it. He is the ultimate performer. You will not be disappointed.
Auch ich schließe mich Ihrer ein . Sensationell aus BRD - Austria 😅. Hertzligste grüße zu YK . Gabriella von und zu Schröder 😊.
Barry...You say, "Isn't it the greatest? " and I always say back to you out loud....Yes it is and so are you and I love these songs from the beginning of your splendid career. No one has the talent that you possess. So glad you decided to be a singer with all the other things you wanted to do. We were both so young then and your voice was perfect and always love to watch you play the piano. Love you forever and a day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dancing Queen BB 1965 (another nickname from college)
Barry Manilow wrote a huge part of my life's soundtrack.
NY LOVES you sweet Barry.
We truly do.
Barry... What can I say but you have the sweetest smile before you sing this. Your voice is so smooth and clear. We were so young then, but I always loved this version. Please take care of yourself and always remember how much i have loved you since 1974~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
Barry.......You really do this one better than any of the other versions. No wonder it was such a hit. I love this one and never tire of hearing it. Love your outfit to. you just do everything so perfectly. All attention to detail. Nothing gets past you Barry......................So glad I found you in 1974 and followed you right to the top of the Billboards. Love ya........Betsy Basile
Barry.............1975 and you looking so great and we all love the way you sing this song. I often wonder how many times you have sung this song.. The Kentucky Derby Concert, quite a great place to be. Bet you had fun. Love your hair in the 70's and 80's, it suits you and so happy you didn't get any tatoos, at least that we can see. No nose ring or earrings. That is what makes you so attractive to all of us. Love you Barry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
Barry’s captivating eyes, his amazing voice, and his enormous talent makes him so unforgettable! Also, his live performances are just as incredible as they are on the radio.
the eyes of the girls 😀, at this evening he could have them all😀
Barry.....You say, isn't it just the greatest? It truly is the greatest and I still think that this is the very best version of this song. 1975 was YOUR year, Barry and mine too as I found you in 1974. I am only 3 years younger than you in 2024. Me 76 and you 80. You were so powerful and romantic from the very beginning of your singing career. Love this one, for sure, Barry. Love you always................Betsy Blue-Eyes

Young and afraid, bless him, but always a great job, a true professional. 🙏💝💜💜❤💌✌👌👍
Barry Manilow is one of my all time favourite male singer. I've been listening to his songs since 1970s to now and I'm never ever tired of listening to them. I love him and his unique voice. 🥰
Beautiful timeless performance. The rhinestone skirts you all studded beforehand look amazing. So does Barry’s shirt.
Classics like this will never fade, this takes me right back to 1975 as a 16 year old. Biggest crush on Barry, I have to say that the music went straight to my heart ♥️ it’s stayed there safe through all the past decades. Thank you Barry, I don’t think you know the impact you had on many peoples lives.
❤️🎹❤️🎶
Always my favorite entertainer !
Almost 50 years ago, your face was all over my teen room and your vinyl on my record player ....today your face AND music are all over my phone !
A lifelong fan 💓
❤️ Barry❤️
Barry....Your voice is so smooth and powerful when need be back in 1975. We were so young then. Where did all those years go and you touring all the time must have made the years go even faster . What a man you are. The Man of The Hour and this era. Love you always.....................................Betsy Blue-Eyes
Those 2 songs together never get old, especially when he couples them together with a Chopin-prelude, which I heard him do in one concert, in 1976 at the Springfield Civic Center, in Springfield, Ma. I also heard it on his first double album, which was his 5th album. I had a copy of it on a double length cassette recording. I wore it out, I think.
Barry...It's the greatest and you are the greatest. I love hearing you way back when your career was just getting off the ground all the way up the charts. Love this one so much as much as I have loved you since 1974~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
Barry.....You always work so hard when you do this one singing and playing the piano. Great job as usual..............................Love ya///////////////////Betsy Blue-Eyes
Thank you Barry❤beautifully written in style feel lovely piano sentimentoVocals
A Wonderful passionate version❤ ⭐Always is⭐ ⭐Golden⭐ ⭐Memories⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Barry....It is the greatest because you are singing it. 1975 and your voice was so soothing and clear and mellow back in our old days. I often wonder if you remember those days, because I sure do, but you were always touring so obviously you can't remember everything, as you are probably thinking about you want to do next. You just have so very many talents, except whistling which is also my 1 problem. Love to you always.............................Betsy Blue-eyes
Barry’s concerts are phenomenal! I cry and sing like a fool throughout the whole show…he’s definitely the best entertainer, bar none! Love you, Barry! Keep’’em coming!🥰
His music gives me goose bumps love it forever.the voice is a gift.
Just WOW!
I still can't understand how you did all of these things like sewing those sequins on the girls dresses. What a terrific person you are. It must be so wonderful to work for you, Barry. You finally got all that you deserved when Mandy made it big. It was all up the Billboard from there....................Great~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy
Barry ! Simply " DISHY " ! 🌹
I have been hooked on Barry from the seventies. I am only a couple of years younger than him. He is the best of all singers and writers and dancers. I love him!
My very first concert was seeing Barry at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA. I was either a sophomore or junior in high school, probably 1976 or 77. I'll never forget how great it was! What a career he has had to this day. Thanks for all your amazing music, Barry. I love it as much now as then ❤❤❤
My all time favorite performer. This is the first song that I learned to play the accompaniment for on my piano. Love it!
Oh nice. Gosh, this accompaniment has its own life and it could stand alone in this one. Those harmonies. ❤💔❤ Solid.
I’m only 14 and Ik this isn’t the type of music I was supposed to grow up with, but it basically was. I absolutely love barry manilow. This is an incredible performance.
same. as another “old soul” from gen z, i do admit that the music of today just doesn’t… feel right.
I hope this legend comes back to the UK 2023

That's the Barry I knew and fell for when I was a girl and didn't speak English! Thanks for sharing!
One of the Greatest singer song Writers that ever Lived!!
Barry....You always have the sweetest smile on all your videos and we girls love that. This one is so romantic and it really set your career on fire. Your first fans are only 3 years younger trhan you and this one just reminds me how young you and I were when you did this one. Where did all those years go? Love ya~~~~~~~~~~~~You are Mr. Music........Betsy
Brilliant, his arrangements! God! ❤
A great performance and maybe it's just the 1975 recording, but I loved the unaffected voice coming through on that. No dripping reverb, just some Barry and it was lovely. The segue into Could It Be Magic is further win.
Indeed 👍
💜🎶
His voice has a nice depth and texture with that little soft vibrato that seemed to come through better live. I’ve always thought he was even better live than the recordings, and the recordings are perfection!

Loved him then. Love him today. ❤️
Thank you Barry
INCOMPARABLE! I miss you Mom!
Barry.........I still think this is the BEST version of this song. Your voice is so clear, smooth and so romantic. Mandy was a winner from the very beginning. Thanks Barry. I have loved you since 1974 when I found you. I was tired of Motown and you were THE MAN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dancing Queen BB 1965
This is what you call real talent

Will always love your music. Living here in Las Vegas, I`ve seen your show many times. Always excellent and at your best.
I love this man and his beautiful music. I enjoy the piano 🎹 , it’s just so intense.
I love Barry and all of his songs ! Hes a cutie a real sweetie in his own way hes a cutie ! Never seen him in person not yet anyway but have his records I got at thrift stores !
Mandy was released the year I was born. It instantly takes me back to a time when I must have only been a toddler. No actual memory but just a built in emotion in the center of my chest. I still get chills every time I hear his voice and this song.
Barry...............This is still my favorite version of " Mandy" and you are so romantic as you put all the words together and we all fell in love with you when this record hit the radio and the charts. All of us that were alive then were your first real fans of yours and we know what you went through in the beginning, but you definitely shut "their mouths ". We have been following you ever since and you just keep getting better and better. Love to you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Blue-Eyes
A very great performer, I love his voice 👌♥️
Barry....Do you know we were both in our early 30's when you did this one and now it is 2024 and we are much older. Your voice was so sweet and smooth in this video and I love it more than all the versions of this that I have watched. How great you were and are. I love you so much as you are THE MAN with YOUR MUSIC, which will never be duplicated in our era. Thank you Barry. You are wonderful~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
He is a great sing- an songwriter ♥️, I hear him until 45 years
I love you BARRY😍
One of my all time favorites!
Barry.... This version of this Number 1 song is the best one. 1975 was your year and those of us that are that old remember every time you took the next step up. We are all 3 years younger than you so many of your current fans were no where close to being born, but we saw how awful the critics jabbed you. Boy, were they wrong, and we all knew that. We still follow you, Barry. We all still love you too........................................................Betsy Basile
0:03 -- Can you feel the love? (love how he smiles at the audience's response) Usually people wait until the song ends before they applaud . . . but here, all he has to do is play the first few notes and the audience breaks into cheers. That's how you know you have a damn good song. Yes, Barry . . . the people love "Mandy" beyond description . . . even to this day.
Beatiful
Suuuper 👍👍👍
Barry..1975 and what a year it was for you. You sing this so sweetly and smooth. It gives me goose-bumps. You were different then when we were both young. This is by far the best version of this song. You will always be my "Man of the Hour" and our era. You can do anything and be the best. Love you Barry-------------------------------Betsy B
Thank you, dear Barry 😘
I loved you since was in first grade. I loved your music and I would stare at your picture on to you album. You were soo gorgeous back then!!!! Even now, I love your voice I am 53 and still love your music!!! I aways wanted to say at a concert "I LOVE YOU Barry!!!
Genius songwriting
Beautiful ..
Thank you! XX
*I feel lucky that I got to see him sing this song in person 4 times with a band and a band with orchestra*
I was a 15 year old boy in that year working on a Sari-sari Store as a Helper seeing on a TV very clear collections nice...
Barry....... This definitely the best version of this wonderful "Mandy" video. I enjoy watching you and hearing you sing. Your voice is so powerful at times and softly when the song calls for it. I also love the piano. You are so great with that too. Your talent is never ending and I will love you til the end of time...............................Betsy Basile

Timeless
B .M❤ mister sua MAJESTADE.
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
Oh Mandy well
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
I’m standing on the edge of time
I’ve walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming
Oh Mandy well
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
Yesterday’s a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
You kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you

I only wish I could meet him in real life to spend a day or week telling him how great and infinitely iconic he was, or what his music meant to me when everything was happening at the time, but of course, it's not a perfect world.
Barry....In the beginning you say "Isn't this the greatest" ? It is the greatest version of this song. I just love it. We were both so young and your voice is so smooth and clear and romantic. Thank you Barry for this one. It reminds me when I was 28 years old. 1975 was a terrific year for you as you climbed up the charts. Love you, Barry.................................Betsy Blue-Eyes
Wonderful, thank you. 💕
