Barry Manilow's first hit was a big one. "Mandy" soared all the way to number one on the US charts in 1974, and launched his career.
Fun fact: Barry didn't write the song--and when it was originally written and recorded it was called "Brandy."
The name was changed to prevent confusion with the song "Brandy" by Looking Glass.
There were a lot of differing opinions on the song--but in the end, we played it. Sorry if it gets stuck in your head all day!
