I first found Barry in 1995 when he sang on the Miss USA pageant. I did not know who he was at the time, but I was captured right at that moment. I went out and bought the Singing with the big bands CD, and loved it. Then I went and got the boxed set thinking that I would not need anything else, boy was I wrong. :) I am a younger Barry fan compared to most, BUT I am a huge lover of Barry and his music. I have a massive collection that is actually on my home owners insurence because it is worth so much money. My license plates in Virginia say MANILOW. I have seen him 15 times so far and plan to go to Vegas later this year to see him again. I did have the great oportunity to meet Barry in 1997 in Richmond, VA after a show. It was the best day of my life. He is a true gentleman and a sweetheart at that, and may I also add that he smells wonderful, kind of a combination of cologne and manly seeat! LOL! If anyone wants to talk Barry, send me a message and I will be glad to talk. - Sarah :)
