Manilow’s first hit “Mandy” was written by Scott English and titled “Brandy”. It was renamed “Mandy” so it wouldn’t be confused with “Brandy” by Looking Glass. English didn’t like the remake at first but years later confessed that every time he bought a house using the royalties he liked it even more.

saw Elvis live in’75…still the king…play him and they’ll be dancing

My sister was a big Manilow fan, but Dad and her boyfriend (later husband) liked the sound of one of his album titles: “Bury Manilow Alive.” (Personally, I enjoy much of his stuff, especially “Copacabana” and “Singing to the World,” but don’t make an effort to hear it.)
