Update: Citing illness, Barry Manilow has postponed his Milwaukee show until Monday, March 2nd.
There was a time – in the late 1970s and 1980s – when Barry Manilow’s music was ubiquitous.
You’d hear it on Top 40 radio, on your TV, in your dentist’s office. Songs like Mandy and Copacabana, and I Write the Songs. Barry Manilow doesn’t chart the same way he once did, but he still has millions of loyal fans, and a new album, called My Dream Duets.
Although he’s still producing music, Barry Manilow has decided to slow down, now that he’s 73 years old. He says his current concert tour – which stops at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Tuesday – will be his last.
Ahead of that Milwaukee stop, Lake Effect's Bonnie North reached Barry Manilow by phone.
