My wife’s name is Mandy. I used to suffer from bad PTSD nightmares from the war. The first night she stayed the night I had a bad one. She woke up while I was in sleep paralyzes and held me when I was shaking and crying and couldn’t move. She kissed my forehead and hummed a song I only heard my grandma and mother song. I instantly woke up and calmed dow from a 10 to a 1. I couldn’t believe it! It’s was 8 years since I was injured severely in Afghanistan and nothing worked. Then she did this and then I never had them again. I also never slept a night with out her and kept her close by me to this day. That was 5 years ago and I’m way more in love now then I was then. I hear this and it hits me in the feels so hard I cry a little every time. We got married a year ago and my only regret is not finding her sooner. I love you Mandy Lopez!
I'm not a Barry Manilow fan, but this song brings back the memories for me. My high school sweetie was a HUGE Barry fan, this was her favorite song and whenever I hear it the sniffles start.
In the 1970's A 14 year old girl on a Ferris wheel with the boy she has the biggest crush on. He paid for 3 rides in a row. This song was playing when the girl got her first real kiss. Yes Me. We were together all through high school and beyond. Huntington's disease took him from me. R.I.P Ken
I loved this song. My daughter was born in 1977 and of course this is what I named her. In 2018 my precious daughter went home to be with the Lord. Needless to say this song was played. I still listen to it quite often.
Believe it or not as a millennial I sung this song to my first love when I was 16 in 2011. I wouldn't change that memory for the world. It was one of the best moments I've experienced. Anybody who's finding love out there, make sure to embrace it to its fullest!
Welcome to the world of real music. A world where music is more than just notes, keys, and time signatures. Where the words from the singer can be heard and understood. Where the musician doesn't have to wear a sleazy outfit to draw an audience. Where the musician doesn't have to "come out" to gain support. This is from a time when musicians had something the musicians of today don't have -- talent and spirit.
I became obsessed with this song when I was 10 years old in 2000. My dad had the cassette and I made him play it over and over again. I would sit in his office listening to it while coming up with stories about the plot in my head. I just find it interesting that I was just 10 and obviously not old enough to truly understand the depth and context of this message, but still, it moved me deeply then and it still does at 30. That's when you know there is something about certain songs/ poems/ literature, that transcend time, place, space, age, ect. Sometimes your soul just knows something you might not even know yourself.
My mom brought me here... i remember growing hearing this playing and she always kept playing it over and over which pretty much annoyed me to a point ... still every time i hear it she comes to mind so this one's for you mummy...love you...❤

Since I don't believe in guilty pleasures at all, let's all admit what a timeless masterpiece this is. Life is way too short to deny your love for Barry
@@wandacomcy6242 Well, i caught the ABBA and BeeGees at the height of their success in the late 70s and they were everywhere on the radio and TV to the point of overbombing. As typical with a child or youth, that can cause a massive case of hype backlash, which i felt a lot in regard to these two bands. It was only in my mid 40s that i started to enjoy their music for it's own merits instead of being the thing to listen because they were popular.
I'm a 19 year old listening to this song on 2019. My grandmother suggested listening to Barry Manilow and here I am. I absolutely love this song already.
my dad recommended this artist. and it brings me back to my childhood driving in the car with him and my mother. god bless their hearts and the music that connects us. love light and peace. enjoy listening!!
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️❤❤
Of all places, i ran into her at the supermarket...Just across the aisle our eyes met and it was an immediate spark...I was 22 years old...She checked out about the same time i did...She even waited around outside hoping that id get the nerve to talk to her...I walk out and see her, my heart is pounding as she looked up and smiled at me...I was terrified at what i was feeling and i turned away and left...Now 27 years later i have NEVER had a day that i went without thinking about her...I went back to that supermarket every single day for weeks and weeks and i never saw her again...Id give anything in this world to have that one day back...I never believed in "love at first sight" until the day i saw her.
I know this is a love song. But I had to travel to the US leaving my 2 children with their dad and this is how I felt those years without them, empty. Now I'm back but are even more distant from them than when I lived in another country. Their teen years and their father have made it so difficult for us to be together as we should. .."Yesterday is a dream, I face the morning Crying on a breeze The pain is calling"
My father was a huge Barry fan. Despite having been born and raised in Puerto Rico, my dad always made room for Barry, The Beatles and Queen. I give thanks to him for introducing me to Tango / Milonga, rock n' roll and of course... BARRY MANILOW! Barry's music truly touches me and triggers beautiful memories of my daddy.
Jeanne Trangata aweh! My dad passed away from brain cancer in 2016 Biggest fan of Barry you could know. That’s why me and my sister both love him. My daddy spread his favourites with us ❤️ miss you everyday 💚
This is a song I could never forget. Just makes you feel so great inside. I remember in the 70s when I 1st heard it. Still sounds as good to me now. In fact it probably sounds better & better each time I hear it. Thankyou uncle Barry. Love you .
I know this is a love song, but it makes me remember my mom, who is the most selfless person possible ... especially those lyrics : "you came and you gave without taking" ... I miss you, and love you so much , mom

My girlfriend of about 6 years left me...my dad took me out to eat the next day...I was already feeling sad and on the verge of crying...they played this song and I had tears in my eyes the entire time...
I remember all my life Raining down as cold as ice A shadow 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 And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking And I need you today, oh Mandy I'm standing on the edge of time Walked away when love was mine Caught up in a world of uphill climbing The tears are in my eyes And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy Well you came and you gave without taking But I sent you away, oh Mandy And 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 Well 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 lost my daughter back in 2011 to congestive heart failure....she was only 9 years old and I died when she died for the next 2 years....I could not stop crying and she died in my wife’s arms and I was sitting right next to my wife when our daughter passed away...I could not get myself together for the next two years and I went on a drug binge that thank god I came out of...it will be 10 years this year coming up that she passed away and I still miss her soooooo much...sometimes life will deal us a few cards that are not that great and we just have to make the best of it. This song was on the radio when she passed away and her name was Sara...
Barry Manilow is one of the most talented people ever. Elton John is also great. Feeling blessed to have grown up in the 60's and 70's. Where is the talent now???
One of the most beautifull song of all time. From 70's to 2000's and 4 ever and ever. The melody, the arrangement, the voice, the sweet backing ground vocals...everything mixed up into the great " Mandy". Barry is priceless!!!
I'm so glad that my mom suggested me to listen to Barry Manilow. She's 56 years old, and one of her favorite singers is Barry Banilow. I wish I lived during this era of music. Everything was much simpler back then. I wish time stopped in the 80s and 90s. I could live in those era forever.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️❤❤
Great song. I think this was about his pet. He was close to her. It actually reminds me of my old best buddy who was also a dog I put to sleep. Such unconditional love from animals. Everyone hears this in their own way.
Singer writers, no longer Write this song I was born in 2005, But i didn't vibe with modern music Then my Grandpa, Always take me with his rides. then He have cd's of Barry millow, frank Sinatra etc. We together listen to this song will sing-along whenever this song comes in the radio, Thats also the reason why i fell inlove with 90's, 80's music because of how Great they sound, and I hope new gen Will still listen to this old 90's master piece.
To me, Mandy was a dog. Only dogs give without taking. They love you until they die. I've always had dogs in my life and I treat them like members of my family, because that's what they are. Thanks to Barry Manilow for such beautiful songs.
This song has always been so hauntingly beautiful to me. It makes me think of long lost love that I let slip in between my fingers. Nothing but heartache and hardships all my life. I never got to have that love of my life, for it to be mine. A long damn miserable life that included all other sorts of things that made my life a personal living hell, right till the present and probably always will.
I’m sorry. I know many people can relate to you. This life is a trial. But Jesus is the way to a better one in this life and the next. He changed my life. I pray He makes His love real to you. God bless.
I was 12. and already dreaming of my own place. It has no connection to the song, except I remember where I was (and what I was thinking), the first time I heard this song. I wanted so badly to escape a toxic home life. This song helped me through a lot of painful days.
I remember back in my teens and he told me he would sit in front of my house in his car and sing this to me. At that particular time, too young and not interested. Early 20's asked me to marry him, he did something which made me not trust him, said no. Inside I wished he would keep trying and maybe we could have made it. Have only seen him 1 time since that event. 62 years old now and I still think of him. Miss you Tom G. from Rita R Ingram PA
I Love This Song. I Had A Dog Name Mandy. And She Was 16 Years Old. And i Had To Put Her To Sleep She Was Blind. And Could Hardly Waljk Anymore. And Today She Would of Been 17. I Miss Her So Much. She was my Baby But Blessed To have her So Long RIP Mandy i Love You And Miss You.
when I was small we had a Neighbor's dog named Mandy...she was with us all the time...SHE IS the ONE I remember when I hear this..so sorry about your dog..."my" mandy was 33 years ago..thank goodness I have pics to remember her...
yes I know my dog was 16 and could not walk or climb stairs so I put him to sleep ,the other dog died by getting hit by a truck so yes I know the pain you feel also that same year I had my mom also pass away so it was a very pain full time for
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️❤❤
What bothers me about the song is that I first heard it with my dad and I was going through problems with him due to my parents' divorce. I did make peace with him before he died at 50 in 1994, but it took a long time for me to even want to listen to this song again and appreciate it.
Arguably this is the song that made Barry Manilow a superstar and made him, IMO, the greatest entertainer of the 70s, and I say this knowing full well that the 70s had beaucoup great singers and bands.
This song could have been written about me and her. The lyrics could have been written just for us. She was mine. She was willing to give everything. She was loving, forgiving, kind and was everything I wanted (although, i didn't realize it until it was too late.) She forgave me many times when she shouldn't have. She was so much mine that I didn't pay attention and make her mine forever. She found love elsewhere. The pain was incredible.
I'm an empath and reading your comment brings me pain...for what you once had and for a type of love that I've yet to experience...all the best to you, my friend 🔥
A young girl racing home from the record store with a brand new 45 of Mandy. That was then and I'm still as excited as if I'm hearing it for the first time in 2019. Barry your greatness is eternal.
It's funny how songs can take u back decades when u remember exactly where u were, how u felt, who u were with, when it played. Some things the mind keeps alive, like it was just yesterday

I was reading through the comments and of course, saw yours. Let me be the first to tell you that there is no such thing as unconditional love because no one is perfect and we all make mistakes but we must be able to move past those mistakes with forgiveness and not hold grudges against those we say we truly love because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us and we don't want any regrets in the end if that person we're holding a grudge against leaves this world before we do. Over the years I've lost my mother, my dad, a brother and two sisters. I didn't hold a grudge against any of them but hurt so badly because I feel I didn't spend enough time with them. Life really is precious, more precious than we'll ever really know but we feel it when we lose someone we love. Time is like a band-aid, it only covers the wound but it really never heals it. That scare on our heart and soul is forever.
Thank you for being a fan of my works all through these years. I decided to take out some free time and put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through and checking out on my fans, showing love and appreciation and also get to communicate with my fans better through discussions. My mailing address is boldly written on my TH-cam channel description hence my private chat account. Feel free to send me an email. I hope you have a wonderful day Shane! ❤️
I was in the 8th grade and 13years old in the fall of 75 and this was the first slow dance song I ever danced to. It was a Halloween party, after the song finished I asked her to be my girlfriend she quickly said yes. I did not know what to say, so she said yes again. Ten days later on my 14th birthday I had my first real kiss. Sometimes I wonder if she recalls the memories this song brings. Not everyone realizes the power of music.

At a time when computer software was simply unavailable to help the songwriter make their songs a reality, this kind of song would have taken ingenious talent to compose. Barry Manilow was truly a marvel of his time.
I had the privilege of recording my own music in the same recording studios as Barry Manilow. Just how professional he is is just totally awe inspiring.
I remember being 15 and on holiday. In one of the neighboring apartments at our resort was a lass called Mandy. She was in her early 20s and I so fancied her (unsurprisingly she didn't fancy me). That was 45 years ago and she won't remember me, but I still remember her, especially when I hear this song.

My wife’s name is Mandy. I used to suffer from bad PTSD nightmares from the war. The first night she stayed the night I had a bad one. She woke up while I was in sleep paralyzes and held me when I was shaking and crying and couldn’t move. She kissed my forehead and hummed a song I only heard my grandma and mother song. I instantly woke up and calmed dow from a 10 to a 1. I couldn’t believe it! It’s was 8 years since I was injured severely in Afghanistan and nothing worked. Then she did this and then I never had them again. I also never slept a night with out her and kept her close by me to this day. That was 5 years ago and I’m way more in love now then I was then. I hear this and it hits me in the feels so hard I cry a little every time. We got married a year ago and my only regret is not finding her sooner. I love you Mandy Lopez!
Barry Manilow was one of the greatest singers of all time.
OH Barry THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT SENDS CHILLS UP MY SPINE. AN MAKES ME JUST CRY
Why can't I stop crying rn? This is everything
Mr. Manilow had 13 #1 hits, and 28 top 10 hits , and 46 top 40 hits over his 56 year career. Truly a remarkable achievement.
This song is Barry Manilow's masterpiece
I'm not a Barry Manilow fan, but this song brings back the memories for me. My high school sweetie was a HUGE Barry fan, this was her favorite song and whenever I hear it the sniffles start.
What happened to her if you don't mind me asking?
I was actually named after this song!! I still love it almost 43 years later! 💕😁
Lol. Same!
So was I 😁🤗
Oh Mandy.
So was my auntie
I remember it well I'm 69
In the 1970's A 14 year old girl on a Ferris wheel with the boy she has the biggest crush on. He paid for 3 rides in a row. This song was playing when the girl got her first real kiss. Yes Me. We were together all through high school and beyond. Huntington's disease took him from me. R.I.P Ken

They don't write songs like this any more. A REAL classic love song
You said that right. He was a dying breed. You always be my favorite love song singer. .
this is what you call MAGIC i mean pure magic my friend.And alot of songs back then had it period..
This song was about his dog
Originally titled "Brandy" by Scott English. It's here on TH-cam.
Actually, Scott English just made up a story to get rid of the person on the phone. Hence the story about it being a dog.
I loved this song. My daughter was born in 1977 and of course this is what I named her. In 2018 my precious daughter went home to be with the Lord. Needless to say this song was played. I still listen to it quite often.

My girlfriend of about 6 years left me...my dad took me out to eat the next day...I was already feeling sad and on the verge of crying...they played this song and I had tears in my eyes the entire time...
😢😢
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow 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
And you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my eyes
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
And 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
Well 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
감사합니다

Barry Manilow is one of the most talented people ever. Elton John is also great. Feeling blessed to have grown up in the 60's and 70's. Where is the talent now???

I'm so glad that my mom suggested me to listen to Barry Manilow. She's 56 years old, and one of her favorite singers is Barry Banilow. I wish I lived during this era of music. Everything was much simpler back then. I wish time stopped in the 80s and 90s. I could live in those era forever.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️❤❤
Great song. I think this was about his pet. He was close to her. It actually reminds me of my old best buddy who was also a dog I put to sleep. Such unconditional love from animals. Everyone hears this in their own way.
Tears are in my eyes while listening to this beautiful song. So Mandy memories..
I was looking at my dad's high school yearbook in the early 80s and he had long hair with a Barry Manilow shirt lmao.
Singer writers, no longer Write this song I was born in 2005, But i didn't vibe with modern music Then my Grandpa, Always take me with his rides. then He have cd's of Barry millow, frank Sinatra etc. We together listen to this song will sing-along whenever this song comes in the radio, Thats also the reason why i fell inlove with 90's, 80's music because of how Great they sound, and I hope new gen Will still listen to this old 90's master piece.
To me, Mandy was a dog. Only dogs give without taking. They love you until they die. I've always had dogs in my life and I treat them like members of my family, because that's what they are. Thanks to Barry Manilow for such beautiful songs.
This song was also written for his dog
I doubt that, clearly singing about a person, Love dummies
A forgotten classic hit from late 1974 that sounds just as appealing today as it did then.
Debbie Brown I heard this song just a year ago for the first time, and I loved that instantaneously. And I’ll never ever going to forget..
@@OceanLabDream It is a classic.
Glad he is back and on Broadway too. He has great songs. Mandy is my fav. "You came and you gave without taking." Powerful words.
Oh Mandy ❤️ One of the sweetest songs. Truly. Love love love the vocal arrangement. A++ Barry !!! TY for sharing your gift
My ALL TIME favorite singer. His voice is magic to my ears.
The ultimate love song. We have all loved and lost at some point and the lyrics sum up what pain and regret can be.
Mandy reminds me of my sister...who left this earth long ago.. it's about pure love that took a lifetime to recognize.
When we die we are all pure again.
So sorry for your loss. I felt that pain already and it hurts very deep. The loss of a sibling, it's very hard.
Sorry....
Amo essa canção
I’m so sorry 💔
My song! Absolutely love this song! It took me awhile to figure out what this song was about (when I was younger), now it's one of my favorite song
This song has always been so hauntingly beautiful to me. It makes me think of long lost love that I let slip in between my fingers. Nothing but heartache and hardships all my life. I never got to have that love of my life, for it to be mine. A long damn miserable life that included all other sorts of things that made my life a personal living hell, right till the present and probably always will.
I’m sorry. I know many people can relate to you. This life is a trial. But Jesus is the way to a better one in this life and the next. He changed my life. I pray He makes His love real to you. God bless.
I'm so sorry
Don't give up on love. You just don't know what tomorrow brings.....
I can relate to you...but as long as there is life, there is hope. And God loves us so much. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
@@lornaditablan7262 I know. God will deliver me from it all some day. Hopefully soon.
I was 12. and already dreaming of my own place. It has no connection to the song, except I remember where I was (and what I was thinking), the first time I heard this song. I wanted so badly to escape a toxic home life. This song helped me through a lot of painful days.
😭😍😭😍
Good to hear Dee.... beautiful song that obviously worked for you.
I absolutely adore Barry Manilow, he's such a great singer, this song is so beautiful.
I remember back in my teens and he told me he would sit in front of my house in his car and sing this to me. At that particular time, too young and not interested. Early 20's asked me to marry him, he did something which made me not trust him, said no. Inside I wished he would keep trying and maybe we could have made it. Have only seen him 1 time since that event. 62 years old now and I still think of him. Miss you Tom G. from Rita R Ingram PA
Not a lot of songs mean much to me but this one, I made such a mistake 10 years ago and it's torn me apart every day since. It hurts so much
I Love This Song. I Had A Dog Name Mandy. And She Was 16 Years Old. And i Had To Put Her To Sleep She Was Blind. And Could Hardly Waljk Anymore. And Today She Would of Been 17. I Miss Her So Much. She was my Baby But Blessed To have her So Long RIP Mandy i Love You And Miss You.
when I was small we had a Neighbor's dog named Mandy...she was with us all the time...SHE IS the ONE I remember when I hear this..so sorry about your dog..."my" mandy was 33 years ago..thank goodness I have pics to remember her...
yes I know my dog was 16 and could not walk or climb stairs so I put him to sleep ,the other dog died by getting hit by a truck so yes I know the pain you feel also that same year I had my
mom also pass away so it was a very pain full time for
Sorry for your loss 😞
Song was inspired by his dog
Oh you make me want cry :(
I'm starting my 2021 with this classic song. ❤️ Classic songs never failed us with such meaningful and touching lyrics. ✔️
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️❤❤
Doing a re-watch of Angel the series, couldn't not come here after that S2 episode!
This is such a beautiful song. It's so romantic as well.
i've been a fan of Barry's since this song came out - he's the best !!!
me too
Everyone loves this song and if they say they don’t they’re lying.
@CARRISS HOOI JIA YII Moe, learn to love
Facts
@CARRISS HOOI JIA YII Moe Nah you forsure love it otherwise you wouldnt be on this video🤷🏽♂️
What bothers me about the song is that I first heard it with my dad and I was going through problems with him due to my parents' divorce. I did make peace with him before he died at 50 in 1994, but it took a long time for me to even want to listen to this song again and appreciate it.
Arguably this is the song that made Barry Manilow a superstar and made him, IMO, the greatest entertainer of the 70s, and I say this knowing full well that the 70s had beaucoup great singers and bands.
Es begleitet mich schon seit meiner frühsten Jugend.... danke dafür🙋♀️
This song could have been written about me and her. The lyrics could have been written just for us. She was mine. She was willing to give everything. She was loving, forgiving, kind and was everything I wanted (although, i didn't realize it until it was too late.) She forgave me many times when she shouldn't have. She was so much mine that I didn't pay attention and make her mine forever. She found love elsewhere. The pain was incredible.
I’m sorry to hear that
I'm an empath and reading your comment brings me pain...for what you once had and for a type of love that I've yet to experience...all the best to you, my friend 🔥
From what I've read, he wrote this song for his dog lol
I feel so sad with that bro. I'm sorry to hear that
oh quagmire
This is my grandma's favorite song 😉😃😄❤️💖
What a beautiful picture. Barry helps make it spectacular
A young girl racing home from the record store with a brand new 45 of Mandy. That was then and I'm still as excited as if I'm hearing it for the first time in 2019. Barry your greatness is eternal.
The year is 2023 and I heard this and cried I remember hearing it when I was young and I'm 54 now .
Dito
what a beautiful story I hope you found that love again.
It's funny how songs can take u back decades when u remember exactly where u were, how u felt, who u were with, when it played. Some things the mind keeps alive, like it was just yesterday
The garbage today can't touch "our" music from the 70's & 80's.
This song reminds me some lovely memories and makes me cry, Still miss you almost everyday 🥺🥺😥❤

I have no memories to this song, I just find the message of unconditional love (outdated as it is) & the emotional delivery very powerful.
I was reading through the comments and of course, saw yours. Let me be the first to tell you that there is no such thing as unconditional love because no one is perfect and we all make mistakes but we must be able to move past those mistakes with forgiveness and not hold grudges against those we say we truly love because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us and we don't want any regrets in the end if that person we're holding a grudge against leaves this world before we do. Over the years I've lost my mother, my dad, a brother and two sisters. I didn't hold a grudge against any of them but hurt so badly because I feel I didn't spend enough time with them. Life really is precious, more precious than we'll ever really know but we feel it when we lose someone we love. Time is like a band-aid, it only covers the wound but it really never heals it. That scare on our heart and soul is forever.
December Leigh That is brilliant!! Thanks for making me think out if the proverbial box. I like the way you think. Jac
He saved my life in so many ways thank you my love!! Love always Kelli

Still great... 🙂🎵❤🎶👍🎵🇹🇹
I was in the 8th grade and 13years old in the fall of 75 and this was the first slow dance song I ever danced to. It was a Halloween party, after the song finished I asked her to be my girlfriend she quickly said yes. I did not know what to say, so she said yes again. Ten days later on my 14th birthday I had my first real kiss. Sometimes I wonder if she recalls the memories this song brings. Not everyone realizes the power of music.
Happy Birthday
This song is so beautiful, I love it.
how can you not love this song
Thankyou Stacie, for always being there for me. God bless you. Sorry for my infidelity. Love ypu
OH MANDY = such a real song you can sing inside yourself about mistakes in love !
Ronnie Boucher I believe it was written for his sweet 🐶
Change the name Mandy and this song could touch every mans heart
Heard Barry sing this tonight live on the radio in Hyde Park, London - very moving!
This song reminds me of my past. I always listened it when I studied at Chowan colllege, murfreesboro, NC, USA in 1973. I love this song
this is my favorite manilow song of all time!

At a time when computer software was simply unavailable to help the songwriter make their songs a reality, this kind of song would have taken ingenious talent to compose. Barry Manilow was truly a marvel of his time.
I had the privilege of recording my own music in the same recording studios as Barry Manilow. Just how professional he is is just totally awe inspiring.
Stupid comment.
@@MIKECNW Yes, your comment IS stupid
This song was composed by Scott English. Barry changed the original name, Brandy, to Mandy.
IMO, Barry Manilow's best song.
I remember being 15 and on holiday. In one of the neighboring apartments at our resort was a lass called Mandy. She was in her early 20s and I so fancied her (unsurprisingly she didn't fancy me). That was 45 years ago and she won't remember me, but I still remember her, especially when I hear this song.
This was back when people wrote meaningful songs.
They still do. Just maybe you don't hear them on the radio so much.
Not really dude, every decade has lazy singers
they still do, grandpa
he didnt write itr
@@dba2605 Someone did.
TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG
the radio during the chase scene is awesome
Haha that brought me here too
The production behind this is just astounding. Both this and Dolly's Jolene are way more brilliant than people give it credit for.
I wonder if Barry knows how much happiness he has brought couples around the world listening to this wonderful song ♫ ♥ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪
