0:00:02 > 0:00:04Ladies and gentlemen,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07the newest star for America, Mr Barry Manilow.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'When I first heard Barry's voice,'
0:00:12 > 0:00:14it was like, you know, cream.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18When I was a kid, I did not get Barry Manilow.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Barry's got those come-to-bed eyes.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24- Didn't understand it. But now I do. - He's just really perfect.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28# I remember all my life
0:00:28 > 0:00:31# Raining down as cold as ice
0:00:33 > 0:00:35# Shadows of a man
0:00:35 > 0:00:38# A face through a window
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# Crying in the night
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# The night goes into morning... #
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Mandy was my favourite, of course. - It's a song everyone wants to hear.
0:00:46 > 0:00:54- Personally, it was my mam's favourite song.- I'd rather have a night out with Barry than...Brad Pitt.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# ..I see a memory
0:00:56 > 0:01:00# I never realised how happy you made me
0:01:00 > 0:01:02# Oh Mandy
0:01:02 > 0:01:06# Well, you came and you gave without taking... #
0:01:06 > 0:01:13- He's my Barry, as much as the next woman's Barry.- I'm looking forward to it. Not as much as my wife, though.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17He's just ever so slightly more MY Barry.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21# ..Oh Mandy... #
0:01:26 > 0:01:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:36 > 0:01:39# Standing on the edge of time
0:01:40 > 0:01:44# I've walked away when love was mine
0:01:45 > 0:01:49# Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
0:01:49 > 0:01:51# The tears are in my mind
0:01:51 > 0:01:56# And nothing is rhyming Oh, Mandy
0:01:56 > 0:02:00# Well you came and you gave without taking
0:02:00 > 0:02:05# But I sent you away, oh Mandy
0:02:05 > 0:02:09# You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
0:02:09 > 0:02:14# And I need you today, oh Mandy
0:02:25 > 0:02:28# Yesterday's a dream
0:02:28 > 0:02:32# Now I face the morning crying on a breeze
0:02:32 > 0:02:38# The pain is calling...
0:02:38 > 0:02:43# Oh Mandy
0:02:43 > 0:02:47# Well, you came and you gave without taking
0:02:47 > 0:02:52# But I sent you away, oh Mandy
0:02:52 > 0:02:57# Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
0:02:57 > 0:03:02# And I need you today, Mandy
0:03:02 > 0:03:06# You came and you gave without taking
0:03:06 > 0:03:12# But I sent you away, Mandy
0:03:12 > 0:03:18# You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
0:03:20 > 0:03:43# And I need you... #
0:03:43 > 0:03:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Thanks!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Well, thanks! Good evening, everyone,
0:04:02 > 0:04:07and welcome to One Night With Barry Manilow - my own TV special here on BBC One.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12You guys... You guys are so fantastic.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17I love being with all of you in the UK. You always make me feel so welcome.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You have everything -
0:04:20 > 0:04:25you have gorgeous countryside, you have castles and palaces,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30and tonight you have something that nobody else has. You have me!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32CHEERING
0:04:36 > 0:04:38And I have music for you, so...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Looks Like We Made It!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46# There you are
0:04:46 > 0:04:51# Lookin' just the same as you did last time I touched you
0:04:53 > 0:04:55# Here I am
0:04:55 > 0:05:00# Close to gettin' tangled up inside the thought of you
0:05:01 > 0:05:03# Do you love him
0:05:03 > 0:05:06# As much as I love her?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09# And will that love be strong
0:05:09 > 0:05:13# When old feelings start to stir?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16# Looks like we made it
0:05:16 > 0:05:23# We left each other on the way to another love
0:05:25 > 0:05:29# Looks like we made it
0:05:29 > 0:05:32# Or I thought so till today
0:05:32 > 0:05:35# Until you were there, everywhere
0:05:35 > 0:05:38# And all I could taste was love
0:05:38 > 0:05:41# The way we made it
0:05:43 > 0:05:45# Looks like we made it...
0:05:45 > 0:05:50# So strange Playin' hide-and-seek with hearts
0:05:50 > 0:05:53# And always hurtin'
0:05:55 > 0:05:56# We're the fools
0:05:56 > 0:06:01# Standin' close enough to touch those burnin' memories
0:06:01 > 0:06:04# And if I hold you
0:06:04 > 0:06:07# For the sake of all those times
0:06:07 > 0:06:10# Love made us lose our minds
0:06:10 > 0:06:14# Could I ever let you go?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18# Oh no, we made it
0:06:18 > 0:06:25# We left each other on the way to another love
0:06:27 > 0:06:30# Looks like we made it
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# Or I thought so till today
0:06:33 > 0:06:36# Until you were there, everywhere
0:06:36 > 0:06:42# And all I could taste was love the way we made it
0:06:42 > 0:06:45# Oh, love...
0:06:46 > 0:06:52# The way we made it...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57# Looks like we made it
0:06:57 > 0:07:06# We left each other on the way to another love
0:07:06 > 0:07:10# Looks like we made it
0:07:10 > 0:07:13# Or I thought so till today
0:07:13 > 0:07:17# Until you were there, everywhere
0:07:17 > 0:07:24# And all I could taste was love The way we made it...
0:07:24 > 0:07:31# Looks like we made it...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32# Oh girl
0:07:32 > 0:07:38# We made it
0:07:38 > 0:07:47# Looks like we made it... #
0:07:50 > 0:07:53CHEERING AND WHISTLING
0:08:00 > 0:08:02All right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21# Last night I waved goodbye
0:08:21 > 0:08:25# Now it seems years
0:08:25 > 0:08:28# I'm back in the city
0:08:28 > 0:08:32# Where nothing is clear
0:08:32 > 0:08:36# But thoughts of me holding you
0:08:36 > 0:08:40# Bringing us near
0:08:40 > 0:08:42# And tell me
0:08:42 > 0:08:47# When will our eyes meet?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50# When can I touch you?
0:08:50 > 0:08:57# When will this strong yearning end?
0:08:57 > 0:09:06# And when will I hold yo-u-u
0:09:06 > 0:09:15# A-a-again
0:09:25 > 0:09:28# Time in New England
0:09:28 > 0:09:31# Took me away
0:09:33 > 0:09:36# To long, rocky beaches
0:09:36 > 0:09:40# And you by the bay
0:09:40 > 0:09:45# We started a story
0:09:45 > 0:09:49# Whose end must now wait
0:09:49 > 0:09:51# And tell me
0:09:51 > 0:09:55# When will our eyes meet?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59# When can I touch you?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03# When will this...
0:10:03 > 0:10:08# Emptiness end?
0:10:08 > 0:10:15# And when will I hold you again?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18# I feel the change comin'
0:10:20 > 0:10:23# I feel the wind blow
0:10:24 > 0:10:28# I feel brave and daring
0:10:28 > 0:10:33# And I feel my blood flow
0:10:33 > 0:10:37# With you I could bring out
0:10:37 > 0:10:43# All the love that I have
0:10:43 > 0:10:46# With you there's a heaven
0:10:46 > 0:10:55# So Earth ain't so ba-a-ad
0:10:55 > 0:11:08# And tell me...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12# When will our eyes meet?
0:11:12 > 0:11:18# When can I touch you?
0:11:18 > 0:11:25# When will this strong yearning end?
0:11:25 > 0:11:37# And when will I hold you
0:11:42 > 0:11:44# Again?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47# Again...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51# Hmm-mmm... #
0:12:06 > 0:12:11I think, way in the beginning, my fans liked me because I stunk.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13FANS SCREAM
0:12:13 > 0:12:20I think they got the fact that I was talented, but had no idea what I was doing.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Once you're a fan, you're a fan for ever.- Followed him for 20 years!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26My dad got me into him when I was 14.
0:12:26 > 0:12:33I saw my mum, aunties, middle-aged women scream when a Barry Manilow song came on the radio.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37They like that there is a guy up there,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39struggling to communicate with them.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44When I was doing Surprise, Surprise, Barry was great for us.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50They saw me working and trying so hard to please them, and put a show together.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55I would see groups of women - not just my mum's age, young as well -
0:12:55 > 0:13:00with a "I love Barry" scarf stuck to the window!
0:13:04 > 0:13:10I said, "Surprise, Surprise! You are going to see Barry Manilow at the Royal Albert Hall,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12"and you are going to meet him."
0:13:12 > 0:13:16He's got a charisma that you cannot write down. You can't capture it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22When he's on stage... There are 12,000 people here, and every one of them believes he's singing to them.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27He dragged me up there too. It was lovely! The best Surprise I've done.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32And I'm standing at the back of Wembley arena and, hand on my heart,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I realised then why he's so popular.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Doesn't this orchestra sound fantastic?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45I love you! And as I look at you, there's one instrument missing.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And, um...it's an instrument
0:13:48 > 0:13:50that I know how to play.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56It just so happens that I do. I'm talking about the accordion.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- I happen to know... - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Sit! I'm not going to play! Promise! Just go back.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Go...
0:14:04 > 0:14:10I would never play the accordion unless my audience demanded that I did.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Well, it just so happens that I have my accordion here.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I carry this thing with me just in case somebody would like to hear it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Would Sting do this? I ask you!
0:14:30 > 0:14:36The problem with the accordion is that everything you play sounds like a polka, no matter what you play.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Even if you play anything...
0:14:38 > 0:14:44For instance, here's Rod Stewart's Do You Think I'm Sexy? Ready?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Really...not too sexy, right?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54And here's Madonna's Like A Virgin. Oh, you'll love this(!)
0:14:57 > 0:15:03I think she would have stayed a virgin a little longer if she'd played it on the accordion.
0:15:03 > 0:15:10Actually, if you play the right song on the accordion, it doesn't sound half bad. Like this...
0:15:10 > 0:15:16# You know I can't smile without you
0:15:16 > 0:15:20# I can't smile without you
0:15:20 > 0:15:23# I can't laugh and I can't... #
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Thanks!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28# I'm finding it hard to do anything
0:15:28 > 0:15:32# You see I feel sad when you're sad
0:15:32 > 0:15:36# I feel glad when you're glad
0:15:36 > 0:15:41# If you only knew what I'm going through
0:15:41 > 0:15:46# I just can't smile without you... #
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Well, that's not too bad, right?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51# You came along... # Thanks!
0:15:51 > 0:15:53# ..Just like a song
0:15:53 > 0:15:55# And brightened my day
0:15:55 > 0:15:59# Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03# Now it all seems light years away
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- # And now you know I can't smile without you... # - AUDIENCE CLAP ALONG
0:16:08 > 0:16:09# Oh, I can't...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12# I can't smile without you
0:16:12 > 0:16:17# I can't laugh and I can't sing
0:16:17 > 0:16:20# I'm finding it hard to do anything
0:16:20 > 0:16:24# You see, I feel sad when you're sad
0:16:24 > 0:16:25# Oh, I feel...
0:16:25 > 0:16:29# I feel glad when you're glad
0:16:29 > 0:16:34# If you only knew what I'm going through
0:16:34 > 0:16:36# I just can't smile
0:16:36 > 0:16:39# Now some people say
0:16:39 > 0:16:45# Happiness takes so very long to find
0:16:45 > 0:16:47# Well, I'm finding it hard
0:16:47 > 0:16:53# Leaving your love behind me
0:16:53 > 0:16:59# And you see I can't smile without you
0:16:59 > 0:17:02# I can't smile without you
0:17:02 > 0:17:06# I can't laugh and I can't sing
0:17:06 > 0:17:10# I'm finding it hard to do anything
0:17:10 > 0:17:15# Cos you see I feel sad when you're sad
0:17:15 > 0:17:19# I feel glad when you're glad
0:17:19 > 0:17:24# If you only knew what I'm going through
0:17:24 > 0:17:32# I just can't smile
0:17:32 > 0:17:40# Without you-u-u... #
0:17:40 > 0:17:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:53 > 0:17:58OK, I'm going to sing you, um, a country song.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I know, you think of country music - Barry Manilow - right?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- AUDIENCE LAUGH - But this is a great song.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12You might know it, cos it was a hit record here a couple of years ago, but I recorded it before that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17It's written by the talented... the great talent Garth Brooks,
0:18:17 > 0:18:25and it's got some great words of advice in it. So I thought you might enjoy this one. ..OK, let's do it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40# Sometimes late at night
0:18:42 > 0:18:48# I lie awake and watch her sleeping
0:18:50 > 0:18:53# She's lost in peaceful dreams
0:18:53 > 0:18:56# So I turn out the light
0:18:56 > 0:18:58# And lay there in the dark
0:19:01 > 0:19:04# And the thought crosses my mind
0:19:06 > 0:19:10# If I never wake up in the morning
0:19:15 > 0:19:18# Would she ever doubt
0:19:18 > 0:19:24# The way I feel about her in my heart
0:19:24 > 0:19:29# If tomorrow never comes
0:19:30 > 0:19:37# Will she know how much I loved her?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39# Did I try in every way
0:19:39 > 0:19:43# To show her every day
0:19:43 > 0:19:48# That she's my only one?
0:19:48 > 0:19:54# If my time on Earth were through
0:19:54 > 0:20:00# And she must face this world without me
0:20:00 > 0:20:04# Is the love I gave her in the past
0:20:04 > 0:20:07# Gonna be enough to last
0:20:07 > 0:20:11# If tomorrow never comes?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22# Cos I've lost loved ones in my life
0:20:23 > 0:20:29# Who never knew how much I loved them
0:20:32 > 0:20:34# Now I live to feel regret
0:20:34 > 0:20:40# That my true feelings for them never were revealed
0:20:42 > 0:20:45# So I made a promise to myself
0:20:47 > 0:20:53# To say each day how much she means to me
0:20:55 > 0:21:00# And avoid that circumstance Where there's no second chance
0:21:00 > 0:21:03# To tell her how I feel
0:21:05 > 0:21:10# Cos if tomorrow never comes
0:21:12 > 0:21:18# Will she know how much I loved her?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21# Did I try in every way
0:21:21 > 0:21:24# To show her every day
0:21:24 > 0:21:29# That she's my only one?
0:21:29 > 0:21:36# If my time on Earth were through
0:21:36 > 0:21:41# And she must face this world without me
0:21:41 > 0:21:45# Is the love I gave her in the past
0:21:45 > 0:21:48# Gonna be enough to last
0:21:48 > 0:21:56# If tomorrow never comes?
0:22:02 > 0:22:08# If tomorrow never comes
0:22:08 > 0:22:14# Will she know how much I loved her?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18# Did I try in every way
0:22:18 > 0:22:21# To show her every day
0:22:21 > 0:22:26# That she's my only one?
0:22:26 > 0:22:32# If my time on Earth were through
0:22:32 > 0:22:38# And she must face this world without me
0:22:38 > 0:22:42# Is the love I gave her in the past
0:22:42 > 0:22:45# Gonna be enough to last
0:22:45 > 0:22:50# If tomorrow never comes?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54# So tell that someone that you love
0:22:54 > 0:22:58# Just what you're thinking of
0:22:58 > 0:23:11# If tomorrow never comes. #
0:23:19 > 0:23:25I wrote this seven-minute song based on a Chopin prelude and I thought it was very passionate.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Could It Be Magic showed a depth early on in Barry Manilow's career
0:23:30 > 0:23:33that very few artists have.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39# Could this be the magic at last... #
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Could It Be Magic is an interesting song because it does work both ways.
0:23:44 > 0:23:51It works as a big passionate ballad for a singer like me who knows how to do that
0:23:51 > 0:23:53and it works as a dance record too.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56# Could it be magic... #
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Take That did a cover version of Could It Be Magic...
0:24:02 > 0:24:08..a lot of youngsters were into Take That. I remember going, "Hold on a second! Come and hear the original!"
0:24:08 > 0:24:16When I was living in Germany, I had an afternoon when I was doing dishes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I turned the radio on and Could It Be Magic came on, and it was...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24# Spirits move me... #
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And I just got chills and I didn't know then
0:24:28 > 0:24:32that it was the precise moment my grandmother was passing away.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35# Baby, I want you... #
0:24:35 > 0:24:40It has a great place in my heart, and in my show. I still do it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44It might just go to prove that a good song can hold up.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
0:25:05 > 0:25:08That's the Chopin Prelude in C Minor.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I based a song called Could It Be Magic on that prelude.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:25:14 > 0:25:19I recorded it on my first album, which we recorded in 1801(!)
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And three people bought it...
0:25:21 > 0:25:26and I thought that would be the end of that song. But I loved it so much.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31# Spirit move me Every time I'm near you
0:25:31 > 0:25:40# Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
0:25:40 > 0:25:48# Sweet Melissa Angel of my lifetime
0:25:48 > 0:25:54# Answer to all answers I can find
0:25:54 > 0:25:59# Baby, I love you Co-ome
0:25:59 > 0:26:04# Come, come into my arms
0:26:04 > 0:26:10# Let me know the wonder of all of you
0:26:10 > 0:26:14# Baby, I want you now
0:26:14 > 0:26:20# Now, now and hold on fast
0:26:21 > 0:26:28# Could this be the magic at last... #
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I thought I would never hear that song again after nobody bought it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- AUDIENCE STARTS TO CLAP IN TIME - But I was in the UK a few years ago,
0:26:42 > 0:26:47and there was a dance version of Could It Be Magic on the radio.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53I wasn't sure I liked it, but then it went to the Number 1 spot, and I loved it!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It was sung by a group called Take That.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Take That has gone onto greener pastures,
0:27:00 > 0:27:06but I still love this up-tempo version. So we do it. I do it because I still CAN!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So take that!
0:27:14 > 0:27:17# Lady, take me
0:27:17 > 0:27:20# High up on a hillside
0:27:20 > 0:27:26# High up where the stallion meets the sun
0:27:29 > 0:27:31# I could love you
0:27:31 > 0:27:34# Build my world around you
0:27:34 > 0:27:40# Never leave you till my life is done
0:27:40 > 0:27:43# Baby, I love you
0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Come, come
0:27:46 > 0:27:49# Come into my arms
0:27:49 > 0:27:54# Let me know the wonder of all of you

0:27:57 > 0:28:00# Now
0:28:00 > 0:28:03# Now and hold on fast
0:28:03 > 0:28:09# Could this be the magic at last?
0:28:09 > 0:28:14# Magic, magic
0:28:17 > 0:28:21# Magic... Magic
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- # Could it be magic? - Could it be magic

0:30:05 > 0:30:12# Could it be magic now? #
0:30:12 > 0:30:17AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
0:30:26 > 0:30:30After the age of 50, this is how you sit down. Ohhhh!
0:30:30 > 0:30:36I had the honour of recording songs written by some fantastic songwriters
0:30:36 > 0:30:41and this particular one was written by Tom Snow and Cynthia Weil -
0:30:41 > 0:30:45two of my favourite people and two of my favourite songwriters. ..OK.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57# We had the right love at the wrong time
0:30:57 > 0:31:02# Guess I always knew inside
0:31:02 > 0:31:07# I wouldn't have you for a long time
0:31:07 > 0:31:11# Those dreams of yours
0:31:11 > 0:31:15# Are shining on distant shores
0:31:15 > 0:31:18# And if they're calling you away
0:31:18 > 0:31:23# I have no right to make you stay
0:31:25 > 0:31:29# But somewhere down the road
0:31:29 > 0:31:32# Our roads are gonna cross again
0:31:32 > 0:31:36# It doesn't really matter when
0:31:36 > 0:31:39# But somewhere down the road
0:31:39 > 0:31:46# I know that heart of yours will come to see
0:31:47 > 0:31:56# That you belong with me
0:32:01 > 0:32:06# Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
0:32:06 > 0:32:12# It doesn't matter if you're gone
0:32:12 > 0:32:17# I still believe in us together
0:32:17 > 0:32:24# I understand more than you think I can
0:32:25 > 0:32:28# You have to go out on your own
0:32:28 > 0:32:31# So you can find your way back home
0:32:34 > 0:32:38# And somewhere down the road
0:32:38 > 0:32:41# Our roads are gonna cross again
0:32:41 > 0:32:45# It doesn't really matter where
0:32:45 > 0:32:49# But somewhere down the road
0:32:49 > 0:32:56# I know that heart of yours will come to see
0:32:56 > 0:33:05# That you belong with me
0:33:05 > 0:33:08# Letting go
0:33:08 > 0:33:13# Is just another way to say
0:33:13 > 0:33:19# I'll always love you so
0:33:22 > 0:33:28# We had the right love at the wrong time
0:33:28 > 0:33:32# Maybe we've only just begun
0:33:32 > 0:33:39# Maybe the best is yet to come
0:33:39 > 0:33:43# Cos somewhere down the road
0:33:43 > 0:33:47# Our roads are gonna cross again
0:33:47 > 0:33:51# It doesn't really matter when
0:33:51 > 0:33:55# But somewhere down the road
0:33:55 > 0:34:01# I know that heart of yours will come to see
0:34:02 > 0:34:11# That you belo-ong
0:34:12 > 0:34:22# With me-e. #
0:34:39 > 0:34:45I do think that I learnt all of my tricks about orchestration and, um,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48how to build a song
0:34:48 > 0:34:54from the world of musicals, from the world of '50s pop
0:34:54 > 0:35:00and the world of classical music. And jazz.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06I might have been the first one to come up with the idea of a tinkling piano beginning a ballad
0:35:06 > 0:35:13and then bringing in the groove and then bringing in this crazy rock'n'roll backbeat
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and changing keys and taking it out to a big climax.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30I sing this song these days...even though I recorded it many years ago. With the shape the world is in,
0:35:30 > 0:35:37I sing it with the hope that one of these days I'll be able to sing it cos the words are true.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# We dreamers have our ways
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Of facing rainy days
0:35:43 > 0:35:46# And somehow we survive
0:35:49 > 0:35:51# We keep the feelings warm
0:35:51 > 0:35:54# Protect them from the storm
0:35:54 > 0:35:58# Until our time arrives
0:35:59 > 0:36:04# Then one day the sun appears
0:36:05 > 0:36:13# And we come shining through those lonely years
0:36:14 > 0:36:19# I made it through the rain
0:36:19 > 0:36:22# I kept my world protected
0:36:22 > 0:36:26# I made it through the rain
0:36:26 > 0:36:29# I kept my point of view
0:36:30 > 0:36:34# I made it through the rain
0:36:34 > 0:36:38# And found myself respected
0:36:38 > 0:36:42# By the others who-o
0:36:42 > 0:36:45# Got rained on too
0:36:45 > 0:36:52# I made it through
0:36:57 > 0:37:00# When friends are hard to find
0:37:00 > 0:37:04# And life seems so unkind
0:37:05 > 0:37:10# Sometimes you feel afraid
0:37:10 > 0:37:15# Just aim beyond the clouds
0:37:15 > 0:37:19# And rise above the crowds
0:37:19 > 0:37:23# And start your own parade
0:37:25 > 0:37:31# Cos when I'd chased my fears away
0:37:31 > 0:37:38# That's when I knew that I could finally say
0:37:41 > 0:37:45# I made it through the rain
0:37:45 > 0:37:48# I kept my world protected
0:37:48 > 0:37:52# I made it through the rain
0:37:52 > 0:37:55# I kept my point of view
0:37:55 > 0:37:59# I made it through the rain
0:37:59 > 0:38:03# And found myself respected
0:38:03 > 0:38:06# By the others who-o
0:38:06 > 0:38:10# Got rained on too
0:38:10 > 0:38:14# I made it through
0:38:16 > 0:38:20# We made it through the rain
0:38:20 > 0:38:23# We kept our world protected
0:38:23 > 0:38:28# We made it through the rain
0:38:28 > 0:38:34# We kept our point of view We made it through the rain
0:38:34 > 0:38:39# And found ourselves respected By the others who
0:38:39 > 0:38:45- # By the others who - Got rained on too
0:38:45 > 0:38:52# And made it through
0:38:52 > 0:38:58# And made it through
0:38:58 > 0:39:02# We made it
0:39:02 > 0:39:08# Thro-ough
0:39:08 > 0:39:18# Looks like we made i-it! #
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Thank you.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34This next song comes from my new musical Harmony.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36LOUD CHEERING
0:39:40 > 0:39:46It's a wonderful story and a wonderful musical. I'm very proud of it.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50I'd like to sing you the love song from Harmony. Let me just set it up.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56In our play, two of the leading characters are contemplating getting married.
0:39:56 > 0:40:03She's having second thoughts about it and says to him, "Till death do us part. I take that seriously.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09"If we make a mistake now, we'll regret it every day for the rest of our lives."
0:40:09 > 0:40:12And he says, "We might be making a mistake.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17"But I think we'd be making a worse mistake if we didn't get married."
0:40:17 > 0:40:20And then he says...
0:40:20 > 0:40:23# Every single day
0:40:23 > 0:40:27# We'll remember what we do today
0:40:29 > 0:40:36# Words we didn't say We'll remember every single day
0:40:36 > 0:40:40# Then years go by
0:40:40 > 0:40:46# To wonder why And wonder what we learned
0:40:46 > 0:40:50# Was that the bridge we should've crossed?
0:40:50 > 0:40:56# The one we burned?
0:40:56 > 0:41:00# Every empty night
0:41:00 > 0:41:04# To regret a life that could've been
0:41:06 > 0:41:08# Maybe you were right
0:41:08 > 0:41:13# Just forget that emptiness within
0:41:13 > 0:41:23# So if you go before that moment's gone
0:41:23 > 0:41:26# Look at me the way
0:41:26 > 0:41:35# I'll remember every single day From now on
0:41:36 > 0:41:38# You deserve
0:41:38 > 0:41:45# I don't know what The man I'd love to be
0:41:45 > 0:41:49# That's not the way it turned out
0:41:49 > 0:41:54# No, you fell in love with me
0:41:54 > 0:41:58# Everything you doubt
0:41:58 > 0:42:04# I will fight for every single day
0:42:04 > 0:42:07# Help me work it out
0:42:07 > 0:42:12# Make it right for every single day
0:42:12 > 0:42:16# But this I swear
0:42:16 > 0:42:23# And stake my life upon
0:42:23 > 0:42:26# If you go or stay
0:42:26 > 0:42:31# I will love you as I do today
0:42:31 > 0:42:40# And I love you
0:42:40 > 0:42:45# Every single day
0:42:45 > 0:43:00# From now on. #
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Thank you.
0:43:17 > 0:43:22Barry loves that board. He loves being on stage.
0:43:22 > 0:43:27I think he enjoys getting a complete and immediate response.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31You hear people go on about the "it" factor.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34You can't buy that. You can't write about it...
0:43:34 > 0:43:36He just oozes this presence on stage.
0:43:36 > 0:43:42You buy his albums, you buy his records, and you listen to them and it's wonderful.
0:43:42 > 0:43:47Then, you go and see his show, and you go, "Wow!" because he is a showman.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51I think he has to be one of the finest pop writers of the last 30 years.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55On my passport, it says... Where it says "Vocation",
0:43:55 > 0:44:01it says "Musician". I don't put "Entertainer", I don't put "Singer" - I put "Musician".
0:44:01 > 0:44:03In my heart, that's what I feel I am.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08It's the quality of musicianship that goes along with him being musical.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13He has this unbelievable ability to allow other people to shine, even in his midst.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18But he does require that YOU come prepared, too.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22I was doing a show with him recently, and he worked my buns off.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26I mean, not enough, but he really is a hard worker.
0:44:26 > 0:44:32When he's rehearsing, he cuts you no slack.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37He is a perfectionist. So professional.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42And, you know, a lot of talent helps!
0:44:42 > 0:44:48There aren't those kind of performers today that have that kind of entertainment quality
0:44:48 > 0:44:52where they tend to be all-rounders, and I think that's what he had.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10I've gotta do this one!
0:45:14 > 0:45:18# Her name is Lola She was a showgirl
0:45:18 > 0:45:22# With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
0:45:22 > 0:45:25# She would merengue and do the cha-cha
0:45:25 > 0:45:29# And while she tried to be a star Tony always tended bar
0:45:29 > 0:45:33# Across a crowded floor They worked from 8 till 4
0:45:33 > 0:45:35# They were young and they had each other
0:45:35 > 0:45:37# Who could ask for more?
0:45:37 > 0:45:41- # At the Copa...- Co! - Copacabana...- Copacabana

0:46:03 > 0:46:07# His name was Rico He wore a diamond
0:46:07 > 0:46:11# He was escorted to his chair He saw Lola dancin' there
0:46:11 > 0:46:15# And when she finished He called her over
0:46:15 > 0:46:18# But Rico went a bit too far Tony sailed across the bar
0:46:18 > 0:46:22# And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
0:46:22 > 0:46:25# There was blood and a single gun shot
0:46:25 > 0:46:27# But just who shot who? At the Copa

0:47:26 > 0:47:30# Her name is Lola She was a showgirl
0:47:30 > 0:47:34# But that was 30 years ago When they used to have a show
0:47:34 > 0:47:38# Now it's a disco But not for Lola
0:47:38 > 0:47:41# Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
0:47:41 > 0:47:45# She sits there so refined And drinks herself half-blind
