In terms of both record sales and career longevity, Barry Manilow is one of the the majority successful adult contemporary singers ever. That success hasn’t necessarily translated to respect (or even ironic hipster appreciation) in the majority quarters; Manilow’s music has been much maligned by critics and fans a like, particularly the romantic ballads that made his career, which were derided as maudlin schlock even during his heyday. It is true that Manilow’s taste for swelling choruses and lush arrangements generally bordered on bombastic, but un like a lot of of his MOR peers, Manilow was not aiming to make smooth, restrained background music — he conceived of himself as a pop entertainer and all-around showman in the classic mold, and his gigs and stage shows were accordingly theatrical.
