All other nations are drinking Ray Charles beer and we are drinking Barry Manilow.
Barry Manilow is a guy who's had a tremendous longevity that few have had in the music business. I'm in awe of what he does.
I remember coming in to the studio and meeting Barry Manilow. I was kind of star-struck. He said, "I want to play you this song. " We get to the end of the song and I hear him actually sing my name as part of the lyric. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor!
