His singles rocket up the charts without the media-hyp- e that usually acnew 45 companies the release of aManilow or album. Even Barry himself wonders out loud, Could It Be Magic?' Is it a miracle come true? After all, Barry's music goes against the current grain of contemporary rock which is laced with new wave rock, hard rock and the current king of melodic preferences disco. Usually male singers spend about five years at the top and then begin to fade fast. Weil, this is my fifth year and I'm always I prepared to bite the dust. mean it. But Im always surprised to see my stuff do so well on the charts. After all, the public is pretty fickle echoed Manilow these days, from his West Coast retreat where he was putting the finishing touches on his third ABC special to be aired this week. Paying his dues Of course, like many of today's top talents, Manilows success did not sprout overnight. Before his first single, Mandy, hit the top of the charts, the New York nurtured Manilow was paying the rent by for Dr. Pepper and coining jingles n other products.

Since this is Barrys third special, one wonders what kind of program the songster will project to his vast following. The other specials were concerts and an intimate look at the person.

After that just ran with the ball. In my own opinion, I think I own a slim place in today's music market, and hopefully it will stay open for me.

With that in mind, the similarity between Barry Manilow and another crooner, Frank Sinatra, becomes more succinct. Barry remarked, "I dont think am today's Frank Sinatra, although it's very flattering to hear it. I I Frank is Frank, though . . . Although, I've nevera really thought about such comparison."
