Barry and The Midnight Special, What a great song and an even greater performance. Sad in some places and then maybe a little hope towards the end. You were so very young at the time as I was too. Only 3 years younger than you, Barry. I have loved you and followed you since since 1974 so I remember everything I could get about you to read about you and I saw the critics be so brutal to you about your "Too Sweet". Well you showed them how much we love those songs and have for decades. Love....................Betsy Basile

Barry and the Midnight Special. We were both so young when you did this one. It is 2024 now and I am still one of your greatest fans. I am only 3 years younger than you and have followed your career since 1974. Love the way you look in this video. Looks like Lady Flash backing you up. So Great as I loved them with you in the original Copacabana. Love this video and I love you as much now as I did in 1974...........................Betsy Basile

Barry......What a special song this is especially the way you sing it. You and I were young then, but you did every song with so much passion and love that it really came across to all of us. That is one talent that you had in the very beginning. You look so great in the outfit you have on. You said many years later in an interview that you all looked like idiots in the 70's and that always annoys me as it was the 70's and you looked perfect. I was with you then as your Number 1 fan since 1974..........Love to you......Betsy Blue-Eyes

The words to this song is beautiful yet sad. He lost his feelings for her, but he tried everything to get the feelings back, but he couldn't. Damn, that's deep. That's why i love Barry Manilow. He sings the most beautiful intense, love songs!!!!

I finally found this one again, Barry. Sometimes they disappear for a couple of weeks and then there they are again. Barry....I love this version of this video. You do it so well and of course, I love to watch you play the piano. You are so good with the classical training you had. I can't figure out how you remember how to play all the songs and videos you do. You look so handsome and then some in this video. Love you always~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dancing Queen BB 1965

Mas Tono......I really appreciate you sharing this version of this song as Barry was so great back in the old days when I am sure this was recorded by his hair and just the way he sang then. We don't get songs like this often. Take care and Happy 4th of July..................................Betsy Basile

No lip synching here. Barry, his piano and light orchestration. Probably better than the popular version.

Mas Tono....I couldn't find this one for awhile and I love Barry's version of this song. He was so young and so handsome. His voice is so smooth and pulling us in to his story. I have been a devoted fan of his since 1974. I am only 3 years younger than him and it is 2024 now so we both are much older. Thank you for posting this one. Have a great weekend..................................Betsy Basile

I love that you gave us this song, Mas Tono. It is a beautiful song and it is different from what Barry usually does. Barry...Love the hair and the outfit. Blue is definitely your color. Also in this one we get to watch you play the piano. For me, it is mesmerizing to see what a range you have on the keys as your hands are large. Love you always........Betsy Blue-Eyes.

Barry in my opinion picked up where Chopin left off. He is the modern Chopin that not only plays the piano but also sings! Barry based much of his music on Chopin.

You know Barry, I am so fascinated with watching you play the piano, I often wonder if you do something special to your hands so they stay so great? I mean you do so many things on the stage at your concerts etc that it wouldn't be good if something happened to your hands. I love this song on The Midnight Special with Mas Tono. Great Job with this one. Love you Barry...I will never lose the feeling I have had for you so many years................................Betsy Blue-Eyes

FYI - This full/extended version is the same that appears on his Barry Manilow Live album from 1977. The shortened version was made such for AM-radio play and it was on the 45 rpm singles sold and also on the Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again album for consistency. But this is the full song as it is intended to be sung and how Barry always sings it live in concerts.
