Barry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus; June 17, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter and producer. He is best known for such recordings as "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)".
In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-seller charts simultaneously, a feat equalled only by Herb Alpert, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in him being named Radio & Records' No. 1 adult contemporary artist, and winning three straight American Music Awards for favorite pop/rock male artist. Between 1974 and 1983 Manilow had three No. 1 singles and 25 that reached the top 40. Although not a favorite of music critics, Manilow has been praised by several well-known entertainers, including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s saying, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."
Barry Manilow is the debut album by Barry Manilow. It was released as Barry Manilow in 1973, then re-mixed and re-released as Barry Manilow I in 1975.
"Could It Be Magic", "One Of These Days" and "Oh My Lady" were remixed at Media Sound Studios, NYC, April 1975 for the re-release on Arista Records. This version was also re-issued by Arista Records on CD.
Barry Manilow is the sixth self-titled album released by singer and songwriter Barry Manilow. Manilow released a total of six self-titled albums in his career: Barry Manilow (later re-released as Barry Manilow I), Barry Manilow II, Barry, Manilow, and this album with the same title as his first. The album was released in 1989, and reached Gold certification. This album also represented a hint of future album releases...95% of the songs were not written/co-written by Manilow, which had up until that point been rare. Manilow, known for being a composer, typically always stocked his albums with material he co-wrote with his celebrated lyricists. After the release of this album, the 1990s dawned and a new era in his career began as he embarked on introducing contemporary audiences to pop music of the 1930s through the late 1940s. This album is also one of his longest of original material, clocking in at nearly an hour. There are few up-tempo songs, favoring ballads of which he is known to perform.

Even now
When there's someone else who cares
When there's someone home
who's waiting just for me
Even now
I think about you as
I'm climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do
so she won't see
That even now
When I know it wasn't right
And I found a better life
than what we had
Even now I wakeup crying
in the middle of the night
And I can't believe it still
could hurt so bad
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still
so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
and how I wish you knew
Even now
Even now
When I never hear your name
And the world has changed
so much since you been gone
Even now I still remember
and the feeling's still the same
And the pain inside of me
goes on and on
Even now
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it's still
so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And God I wish you knew
some how
