Ever since his breakthrough single in 1975, Barry Manilow has inspired huge loyalty from legions of adoring fans. With a string of hits in the 70s and 80s and a succession of hugely successful albums, Manilow, who is still recording today, has carved a unique place as both performer and songwriter. His love of touring in the UK is reflected by the BBC archives, which include concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and Blenheim, plus Top of the Pops, as well as more recent guest appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and the Proms.
