Barry Manilow, "I Write The Songs"

Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Yet another audiophile wrote in to complain. He said that everyone's forgotten about Barry Manilow's version of "I Write The Songs," which is now 45 years-old. But more importantly, he says, the original was a collaboration between Bruce Johnston (who was in and out of The Beach Boys) and Captain & Tennille.

According to Johnston, the "I" in "I Write The Songs" is not the singer. Rather, the "I" is God.

IDK, in the mid-70s, Manilow's version was among the first non-children's songs I was able to hear. Once the 80s appeared, Bay Area radio stations didn't play "I Write The Songs" that often. Every once in a while, my coworkers hear it on 98.1 The Breeze.
