From Goldie Hawn's television special: Goldie & Kids. Quality is awful - taken from the television in 198-something with a BETA VCR. We are talking ancient technology. The tape is actually starting to lose the image.
It’s not that he is special. He knows the keys that will tear at the heartstrings. The technique is used in gospel singing to make the message ethereal . There is a musical term for this and I forgot it. Anyone?
Thanks so much for this. Never seen before. Been a fan since 1978 at the age of 11. What an amazing career and an amazing guy that Barry is. Love always.xxx
Quality is fine! It is so rare for those of us who have followed Barry's career to find something that we haven't seen before. So I just sat here and drank it all in. Thank you so much for posting this. Bravo Beta VCR!
Honestly, this has always been my favorite Barry Manilow song because of the message. I have the album & I even vaguely remember seeing this TV special somewhere...!!! 👍 🧡
This is a great scenario between you and Goldie and the story was certainly something that many people had gone through. Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you to Goldie too. I love you both and the video, sometimes sad, but very real!! ~~~~~~~Betsy Basile
This was a very beautiful performance of this song. The music is Barry's. He altered the beginning & it's gorgeous. The Words are from the brilliant Enoch Anderson whose lyrics were always tough & realistic about life. I don't know who wrote the words to Goldie's song though. I loved the dialogue at the beginning. 40 years on & I'm word-perfect. Good to see this again! ❤
This song is such a tear-jerker for me...such an amazing heartfelt, emotional situation that we really don't/can't have any control over. And the words are so...real, and storytelling and make one feel so lonely for them both....(please excuse me but I've got to wipe the tears from my eyes)
Tapes doesn't lose image. This tape was recorded at a slow speed. I have beta tapes from 1977 recorded at the SP (fast) speed and the still look amazing. I have this 1982 special also recorded on Betamax tape on the SP speed and it too looks amazing still in 2022!
that was so sweet i get complimets i look like goldie i wear my hair the same too didnt know she could sing and barry you are the king i friggin love ya!!!
Ohhhhh!!!! GrannieChuckie, thank you very much for posting this video of Barry and Goldie, fantastic rarity, long time since I had wanted to see it again! thank you very much from Argentina! a big fan of Barry Manilow. Pablo Daniel C. Ordoñez from Rosario, Santa Fe, Republica Argentina
This one is incredible, Barry and Goldie. I am sure that this has hit so many hearts of men and women. It is so truthful. These things happen all the time to so many people. I really love this one and Barry you make a very good part in this one even better with your very wonderful words and motions. thank you both. love you both.....................Betsy Basile
Thanks so much, I never saw this - and amazingly as you say it's from an old videotape, the quality is good! Barry Manilow was a really good actor. I wish he had been offered a really great role in a movie - he certainly could have done it justice. But he has had such a HUGE music career, maybe I'm being greedy in wishing for more! I also wish he had grown up at a time when his sexuality was not a big deal. It's sad he couldn't be an openly gay star until he turned 70. But at least he COULD come out - poor Liberace was forced to live a lie his whole life, and tell journalists he just hadn't met the right girl. No one should be ashamed of their sexuality. It's just part of who you are, like your height or sense of humour. It's all good - love is love!
