Barry Manilow is a Actor and Sound American born on 17 june 1943 at New York City (USA)
Barry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus; June 17, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter and producer. He is best known for such recordings as "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)".
In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-seller charts simultaneously, a feat equalled only by Herb Alpert, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records' No. 1 adult contemporary artist, and winning three straight American Music Awards for favorite pop/rock male artist. Between 1974 and 1983 Manilow had three No. 1 singles and 25 that reached the top 40. Although not a favorite of music critics, several well-known entertainers have praised Manilow, including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s saying, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."
As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, including Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending his relationship with the hotel. Since March 2010, he has headlined at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.
En 1971, alors que l'homosexualité est encore un tabou aux États-Unis, après plusieurs années de travail auprès de CBS en tant que compositeur de génériques et jingles, Barry Manilow se lance dans le spectacle aux côtés de la sulfureuse Bette Midler au Continental Gay Bathhouse de New York où ils affichent complet durant plusieurs mois. Réputé pour jouer entouré d'une unique serviette autour de la taille, ils deviennent rapidement des figures du rock alternatif new-yorkais. Après leur expérience en duo et un album à succès The Divine Miss M, le couple Manilow / Midler se sépare, partagé entre deux fortes personnalités. Manilow décide de sortir un album solo en 1973 qui sera classé parmi les 100 meilleurs albums de l'année du magazine Rock & Folk malgré une diffusion radiophonique peu importante. Y figure le futur tube Could It Be Magic ainsi que One of these Days, chanson travaillée avec Ray Charles.
En 1974, son chemin croise celui du jeune Clive Davis (producteur) qui lui propose de sortir un album sous son label florissant, Arista Records dont Manilow devient un membre clé. Leur première collaboration Barry Manilow II atteindra rapidement des records de vente jusqu'à une succession de classements à la première place du hit-parade américain de ces disques de 1975 à 1981. Barry Manilow devient vite un des représentants les plus influents de la musique américaine du XX siècle.
Homme de scène le plus récompensé de 1972 à 2012, comme encore un de ses derniers spectacles à Las Vegas, meilleur spectacle de variété aux Emmy Awards 2006, en 1978, cinq de ses albums furent au top des ventes simultanément, un record égalé seulement par Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra et Johnny Mathis. En 1988, Bob Dylan ira jusqu'à le citer comme la source d'inspiration de tout artiste.
Grâce à des hits comme Mandy, Weekend in New-England ou encore Tryin' to get the Feeling Again, Barry Manilow s'est imposé comme une véritable icône de la musique pop rock/soft rock aux États-Unis. Michael Jackson le présentait comme son père spirituel.
Surnommé le « showman de multi-génération », le parrain de Las Vegas ou encore « un géant parmi les entertainers » par le magazine Rolling Stones, il chante à guichets fermés dans chacun des pays où il passe. À peine annonce-t-il sa venue que les fans, nommés « fanilow », se ruent littéralement sur les locations.
En 2006, deux de ses albums furent classés numéros 1 et 2 consécutifs, un record encore inégalé. Cela marquera son retour dans les charts en tant qu'artiste de premier plan.
Il est le compositeur en 1973 de la chanson Could It Be Magic, et ce fut l'interprétation de Donna Summer en 1975 qui fit de ce titre un tube international. Repris en français par Alain Chamfort, il devient Le Temps qui court, qui est en 2006 l'hymne des Enfoirés.
Après Copacabana (At the Copa), en 1978, Barry Manilow fit une interprétation du titre Memory en 1982 et qui fut la version la mieux classée dans les charts américains de cette chanson maintes fois reprise.
En 2009, il donna un concert diffusé sur la BBC à Hyde Park à Londres réunissant plusieurs centaines de milliers de fans dans la capitale anglaise lors de la BBC Proms.
Il a lancé la carrière de Bette Midler, a produit Dionne Warwick et inspiré Whitney Houston ainsi que de nombreux artistes.
Il fut pendant longtemps un ami très proche de Michael Jackson ; il lui rendit un dernier hommage ainsi qu'à sa famille après l'annonce de son décès lors d'un concert à Rochester.
Barry Manilow est l'artiste le plus demandé à la télévision américaine, d'après Oprah Winfrey.

Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique analog Neve recording console and a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Kyuss, Slipknot and Nirvana recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days in 1969 until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog Neve console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606. Rupert Neve is an English engineer who founded Neve Electronics in 1961, designed and manufactured the Neve 8028, "one of four in the world", and is interviewed by Grohl in the film. Famous musicians who recorded at Sound City reunite at Studio 606 for a jam session and to make an album of "all-new all-original songs, each one composed and recorded exclusively for the film within its own 24-hour session on that console." It also shows album covers by some bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers's One Hot Minute, Nirvana's Incesticide and Nevermind, Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album and many others.

On the streets of Fifth Avenue, an orphaned kitten named Oliver is left abandoned after his fellow orphaned kittens are adopted by passersby. Wandering the streets by himself in search of someone to adopt him, Oliver meets a laid-back dog named Dodger who assists the kitten in stealing food from a hot dog vendor named Louie. Dodger then flees the scene without sharing his bounty with Oliver. Oliver follows Dodger all throughout the streets until he eventually arrives at the barge of his owner, a pickpocket named Fagin, along with his meal, to give to his friends: Tito the Chihuahua, Einstein the Great Dane, Rita the Saluki and Francis the Bulldog. Oliver sneaks into their home, located below the city's docks, and is discovered by the dogs. After a moment of confusion, Oliver is then received with a warm welcome. Fagin, owner of the dogs, comes in and explains that he is running out of time to repay the money he borrowed from Sykes, a ruthless shipyard agent and loan shark. Sykes tells Fagin the money must be paid in three days, or else. Sykes' Dobermans Roscoe and DeSoto attack Oliver but the cat is defended by Fagin's dogs. Immediately thereafter, a depressed Fagin returns to the barge, lamenting that he has only three days to find the money he owes Sykes. After the dogs cheer him up, Fagin is introduced to Oliver, and, considering that they all need help, accepts him into the gang.
