Happy Birthday, Barry Manilow!

Barry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus in Brooklyn, New York on June 17, 1943)


The following are questions posed to Barry in an interview:

Let’s talk about your hair back in the ’70s.
Oh, please.

What’s the secret to the styling – what kind of products did you use?
I just have to tell you – go look at everybody else’s hair back in the ’70s. We all looked like that. Look at Rod Stewart. We all looked like that. It’s a matter of generations – we all looked like morons.

Note to “Fanilows”: Loads of Barry Manilow videos posted today over at TJB’s “Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist.

  1. True, Rod Stewart did look like a moron. Still does.

    I have looked in flea markets, thrift stores and have been on a search for the past 15 years. I have never had a shampoo that did so much. I have fine hair and it made it shiny, bouncy and fuller. The close I have come to it is REDKIN FAT CAT but that has also been discontinued. I have been in mourning for MILK PLUS SIX and have forever been on a hunt for it.

    MJ, the answer is "Fat Cat" of which I'm sure you are sitting on quite a bit of it right now, and would love to share it with Betty Ann.

    The Cordoba ramming may have dislodged your cache.

  8. I blame Norma for the Milk Plus Six shortage.

    He's probably selling it on eBay and making a fortune.
