I’m in this video! My high school choir joined Barry for 9 sold out nights at The Greek Theater. So fun!!
Legendary singer/songwriter. Who doesn’t adore Barry Manilow???
One of the greatest songwriters and singers of all time - thank you for sharing this with many who just have a sense of beautiful music.
@Gary Kudalis he co-wrote (typically the music) several of his hits including Could it Be Magic, Copacabana, & It’s a Miracle. He’s also a great musician, arranger, & producer.
Every school should have a Barry Manilow class so they understand what an amazing talented musician he is… such a living legend… love him!❤️
There used to be music appreciation classes in public schools that covered pop music. There were also general music classes, but thanks to the goddamn Republicans and their corporatism policies and tax cuts that result in cutting music programs, today's younger generations are being cheated out of this. The Republicans want everyone to become software engineers so that we have more of them to write software that will eliminate more jobs and make corporations more profitable. Some day, there won't be any jobs because AI will take them all away. This is what the Republicans are promoting.
whara singer simply talented snd top of mind come down to BRasil to offer the genuine ametican songs ...

Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys wrote "I Write The Songs." Multiple artists recorded the song, including Frank Sinatra and David Cassidy. But it took Barry Manilow to make it a hit and receive a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
Bruce Johnston won the Grammy for writing the song. Barry didn't win a Grammy even though he arranged and sang it beautifully, which made the song go to #1. "I Write The Songs" was nominated for Record of the Year, but lost to George Benson "The Masquerade"
Singing with Barry Manilow was so much fun. I'm the short guy in the middle of the back row.
Mark Forbus once in a lifetime. Very cool
Cool! xx
That's excellent to know!!!
Barry Manilow is my idol. Where was this Concert filmed? ❤️

I had the One Voice album on vinyl years ago and read some of the liner notes. I believe he did 39 vocal overdubs if I remember correctly. I wondered how that happened and they had some really good multitrack recorders (I think this may have been a 24 track machine). I'm sure he bounced them back and forth to a couple different machines. Anyway, thank you for posting this great footage. Not only do I miss the days of Barry Manilow playing live music on TV but I also miss the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. I used to make it a point to turn it on every Labor Day and that's not around anymore. I would have thought someone would have taken that over. May Jerry rest in peace.
Yes I watch the video of him talking about recording that song and how many times he had to go in and do the different vocals because it is all him. It is a beautiful wonderful song!
I love this song, great memories, Barry forever ❤🎶🎹❤
I always cry when he sings I write the Songs in concert. Idk why. Caught up in the moment. Just so glad to be there. !!
So do I. It’s because he moves us. It’s a beautiful song and he’s a beautiful singer and amazing human being.
@@Gemmarose9012I think is the way he sings it ❤ He truly feels it and we hear that
He sings "One Voice" so very perfectly that everyone would donate for the kids. Love you Barry, forever and forever......................Betsy
This song consistently brings tears to my eyes...such a wonderful melody
I get goosebumps the entire song
@@Connie1Fan Barry does a rendition of a melody called "Sunday Father" that really touches your heart... I have no idea which CD/Album it's on, but I found it on TH-cam! It's about a divorced Father & his visiting time with his son...
One voice....Barry your terrific and so is your message. God bless you. Thanks.
Barry is one of my all-time favorites, man did I spend many hours playing his records growing up...good times.
Love Barry Manilow. One of the greatest
Me too. I went to bed listening to his albums on my record player. Not even a stereo. Lol
Sensacional!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻👏🏻😁❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻😘😘
Es el mejor aún lo escucho y me emociona
A showman!!!! Love you, Barry!!!!
Have to admit I'd never heard of this song until 'its a sin' drama but glad I heard and known it now. Amazing song and sjnger/songwriter Barry Manilow. M
Barry....................It has been 3 months again since I have been able to find it. One voice is just so great when you sing it Barry. How wonderful you do anything you want to do. You are the BEST Barry. You just get better year after year. Thank you for sharing this one. Love you forever and a day....................................Betsy Basile
This man is amazing his songs are so personal to everyone ☺️
Barry......Love your outfit and that STAR necklace that you often wore in the 70's and your hair is great. The song "One Voice " id great the way you sing it and I never tire of watching this video. Love to you always..................................Betsy Basile
A mis 63 años sigo escuchando su bella musica❤
Barry....Love your outfit and I love the way you do this song too. One Voice is YOUR SONG and one of my favorites, but this one is magnificent . I dream you are singing it to me. It always boosts my mood and all that is wrong. Love you forever and a day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Betsy Blue-Eyes
"One Voice" this song is one of my favorites because at the beginning it is sung a cappella by Barry, and the best surprise is hearing his pure and soft voice. Then the announced choir enters. And he surprises us with "I Write the Song" which is also beautiful. Song lyrics touch our hearts.
How can you not love Barry Manilow.

Barry...Great job at the Telethon. You do this song so well and it is exciting. It is so beautiful the way you do it. I can sing with you in that octave, but I was very young when you did this one as you were too. Gets a little harder to do it as we get older and now in 2024 you and I are both much older. I am only 3 years younger than you so I followed your career since 1974 and saw how those critics jabbed you unmercifally . You showed them though and we older girls cheered you on no matter what they said. They said, a day, a month, a year ! HAHA. How many years has it been now in 2024 and still you are here for us. Love to you forever and a day.........................................Betsy Blue-Eyes
Barry...The first time I have been able to find this one for 2 months again. I love "One Voice " the way you do it in the telethon. It is so inspirational and you would be the one person that could make it into a story song. I love the outfit Barry and that STAR necklace you used to wear in the beginning. So handsome you are. Another 80's song and your hair is so cool the way it blows around. I Write the Songs is also a perfect song, but it makes we old girls cry as well. You know I am only 3 years younger than you. Love to you always....................Betsy Blue-Eyes
Barry......I haven't heard this for awhile as I have so many others of yours that I have on my playlist that I can't squeeze them in the 2 and a half hours I listen to you every night. This one is really a great pair of songs you are singing. Thank you for doing this for the telethon. You are such a great person. I love ya!!!.................Betsy Blue-eyes
Lol Barry trying not to laugh when the young girls cry.
"Shout it out and let it ring." I love how he takes those notes high.
Know all the words to his songs. His was the first concert I ever went to. I remember watching this bc I always watched the telethon in its entirety. Thank you for sharing this video.
Google "One Voice chicken soup for the soul" for the story behind the writing of the song. Truly amazing that some people have just pure talent.
Just one voice, singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Singing so they hear what's on your mind
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than one voice
Singing in the darkness
Joining with your one voice
Each and every note another octave
Hands are joined and fears unlocked
If only, one voice, would start it on its own
We need just one voice facing the unknown
And then that one voice would never be alone
It takes that one voice
It takes that one voice
Just one voice, singing in the darkness
All it takes is one voice
Shout it out and let it ring
Just one voice, it takes that one voice
And everyone will sing
Lines 3, 4 & 5 were all done in one breath, and then lines 8, 9 and part of ten in one breath. He has such control over his breathing.
Barry..I have not been able to find this one for a while, but the way you sing "One Voice" you sing so passionately and sweetly. You can do the best of anyone.....................Betsy B

It's a world wide symphony ....... ( Music ) Love you Mr. Manilow. Thankyou for the wonderful memories.
Maravilhoso.
[Verse 1]
I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Verse 2]
My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Bridge]
Oh, my music makes you dance
And gives your spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's from me
It's a worldwide symphony
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Chorus]
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
[Outro]
I am music (music) and I write the songs
Belíssimo

Great show on this telethon. You always do everything perfectly, Barry. Thanks for doing this for the kids. I don't get to hear this version of One Voice as my playlist is so long now, I really have to pick and choose what I can fit in 3 hours. Love you...............................Betsy Basile
When you had day after since the first stand in front of your first audience and the curtain rose to all the history in the country going on around to today were happier and going back to see first show the country never had you to see what you do now
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Barry - so many of my happy memories are formed around your music. Singing in the car with Mama, she loved your music too. Being goofy with my school friends. Hours of happiness, and YOU wrote those songs!! You said it yourself, my dear man....You Wrote The Songs! And so thank you, from my heart to yours. ❤️
Me tooo!!! My mom got me hooked in 1976. What a memorable childhood.

Este hombre es talento puro!! Un genio de la música!
Vc é um verdadeiro espetáculo 💓💓
Alright, who was it that screwed up that trumpet part at 7:04? He ruined one of the best parts of the song!
Those shoulder pads just make him look tense.
near to new york . Make this for me. 2 millian dolars for you.
I write the songs. I'm very old? Own place in your soul? The original musical Cherub. Satan himself. Wow.
Bruce Johnson wrote this song. He is writing it from God's perception. God writes the songs.
