Barry Manilow On Liz Taylor's' AIDS Work

Barry Manilow has never come out (as far I can know), but in last night's interview about Elizabeth Taylor he acknowledged that "I had lost half of my phone book" to AIDS. Manilow revealed that Taylor was so grateful that he agreed to perform at her first AIDS fundraiser that she sent him a pot of gardenias every year on his birthday.

Barry Manilow...in concert @ Royce Hall! UCLA March 22nd!

Barry is a dog lover!



Barry Manilow - ever-popular lounge lizard pop and prolific songwriter - trots onto the Royce Hall stage to perform live! (UCLA campus) on March 22nd.

No doubt, the youthful pop crooner - who penned such memorable tunes as "Copacabana", "Mandy", and "Looks like We Made it" - will pack the house with a cross-section of fans (young & old alike) that he has scooped up over the past few decades.

Deservedly, so!

One of his biggest chart-toppers - "I Write the Songs" - was actually not composed by Barry (which may come as a surprise to die-hard music-lovers) but by Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys.

A bit of trivia you can trick you friends with at future pot-lucks!

But, from what I understand from inside sources - the "do" (every luscious strand) - is all Manilow's (no rug for this pop survivor, eh?).

Tickets are going fast, just betcha, so you better get-on-the-ball pronto.

See 'ya there!
