    I was lost for words for the next song to play. Then Barry Manilow showed up, the guy who wrote the songs, and everything felt normal again.

    It's ironic that he wrote all the songs- except for this one. It's one of my favourites though and he is thought very highly of my family. My mother celebrates his birthday every year with a Barry bbq . I left my 3 year old daughter with her for a couple of hours and she pointed to his picture framed on the wall and asked her who it was - it was no surprise that she was able to recognise and say his full name. 3 years later she had her 1st ticket to go see him in concert but covid has delayed that. Im happy we share the love of him in our family x

      Barry Manilow did not write this absolutely sublime song it was Bruce Johnson of The Beach Boys.
      He originally gave it to David Cassidy who sings it a whole lot better than Barry.
      It became Manilow's signature song however David did the ULTIMATE VERSION of this wonderful song.

    • @kevinhanney1979
      @kevinhanney1979 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brian Johnson from the Beach Boys wrote it. Did Barry write may/any of his best songs? I love him don't get me wrong, but he didn't write them.

    • @darrenplumpton3551
      @darrenplumpton3551 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bruce Johnson gave "I Write The Songs" to David Cassidy as Bruce was producing David's first album on RCA records (after his first few solo albums and all of The Partridge Family album's were on bell records)called "The Higher They Climb The Harder They Fall."
      Barry Manilow heard it and recorded his version of it.
      In the USA they didn't release David's original version but they did release Manilow's cover of it.
      And it went to Number one.
      David's version was released as a Double "A" sided single in The United Kingdom.
      Paired with "Get It Up For Love" the single got to Number Eleven.
      BTW "Get It Up For Love" got banned in the UK.

He is full of love and passion, and he is my earliest memories of love and heartbreak, so he taught me more of life than Gramma did.

He's the music man though not the lyric man and he added so much feeling and build up to his chord changes and arrangement. I like it for that. Also, lyrics aren't always literal, so these lyrics may be something well intentioned and not pompous at all.

      Well said! So true! I love him madly. I also found him at a young age. This song & Mandy are at the top of my faves by him but wow! So many hits . So many hits. This song really makes want to cry now from the memories. I bought his greatest hits CDs 3 times. That's how much I played them and I had a set in different places. (lol) Before that the cassettes just simply unraveled from use.(lol)

      @@2004mojo IMO DAVID CASSIDY's original version is soooooooooh much better.
      David had a chart hit with this in 1975 when the composer of this classic (Bruce Johnson of The Beach Boys) presented it to David for his "The Higher They Climb The Harder They Fall" album on RCA.
      David recorded it and in doing so recorded The ULTIMATE VERSION.

      They were...
      1) The Higher They Climb The Harder They Fall.
      2) Home Is Where The Heart Is.
