• Barry Manilow Quote

  "It took a long time to figure out how to make them my own, to see where I could crawl inside the meaning of the lyric," he says. "I didn't want to do karaoke renditions. Make no mistake, I was intimidated, but I think I nailed them. Once the arrangements were done, it was one big smile after another."Reuters: Barry Manilow tackles '80s on fourth decade set (November 15, 2008)
