Barry Manilow - Mandy/Could It Be Magic (Live from The 1978 BBC Special)

Details

Description

Barry Manilow performs "Mandy/Could It Be Magic" live, taken from the 1978 BBC special.

The year is 1978. In the US, Barry Manilow is on top of the pop charts.

Even Now featuring the hit singles “Even Now", “Can’t Smile Without You”, “Copacabana", and “Somewhere In The Night” is released.

The Second Barry Manilow Special airs on ABC. Barry Manilow In Concert is released as the first big musical special on HBO.

Across the pond in the UK, however, Barry is still a relative unknown. But the buzz is growing.

He’s booked for his first shows in the UK…two nights at the London Palladium. Those two nights sell out and four more nights are added. Those four nights sell out.

British impresario Robert Patterson and his young assistant, Andrew Miller decide to roll the dice.

They call the BBC.

They book Manilow at the Royal Albert Hall and turn his concert into a two part TV special.

So begins a beautiful love affair between Manilow and his British fans.
