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.

Thank you so much for the memories. I was a 19 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa, when these songs played, late 1974. I was missing my cute girlfriend back home. I've never forgotten that pain.

I have a silver box with 8 cds....I listen to them almost every day.....I've been listening to them for so many years, and they still bring me joy, sometimes I feel kind of nostalgic.....the lyrics are so true to life...they've become part of my life.

@Sonia Mayrink I loved his music because the story he tells describes emotions that many have been through and felt. To the point that you feel your right back on that very day and time and feeling those emotions all over again.

Way back in the 70s my sister and I saved all our allowance to get tickets see Barry at the Beacon theater in NYC. We were so excited to be able to go to our first concert ever and that it was Barry Manilow, our favorite. He had his Beagle doggie that concert, on the stage somehow, I think he ran out accidentally but it was the coolest memory with my sister who made it happen for us, RIP my Bonnie. I cherish all the memories and Barry Manilow marks some of the best and always will. BTW, Bonnie loved Mandy and I loved I write the songs and we both loved could it be magic. Thank you Barry Manilow

I am so glad this one popped up again, Barry. This song, it is no wonder you shot to the top of the Billboards due to the way you sing it. Sometimes softly and sometimes, very powerful and of course we can see you playing the piano in some places. I absolutely faint when I see you do those keys. Love you always, Barry.................Betsy B

How many of you Barry Manilow fans named one of your daughters after this song? My beautiful Mandy was born in 1986. My husband wasn't as fond of the name as I was when our first two daughters were born in 80 and 81 and our son just didn't look like a Mandy so the honor went to our fourth child. I've been a huge Manilow fan since I was 13 yrs old.

Fun fact: That scar on the right side of his face (which you usually can't see, thanks to makeup) is something he 'acquired' when he was a little boy; he was playing in a park with some small girl and she pushed him over and he fell and .... got the scar. Story verified by his mother.
