Alicia, to be fair, you should list the artists you like, so then I can turn around and bash them...seems only fair... chances are your favorites don't match up to the 75 million records sold, grammys, 35 plus albums, and numerous chart topping hits, plus a career still going strong after 35 years...it is clear you have little or no clue as to the musical contribution Barry Manilow has made...which goes to show why his simple absense from the View has been completely blown out of proportions... Be brave, see him in concert sometime, then it will raise your credibility level, and in the end, produce better articles.
David.
