Quite candidly, I was surprised that Joe Deluva talks about Barry’s continued success, despite being the man others like to bully because he understands the REAL TRUE BLUE Barry, a/k/a Alan Pincus, is too kind and above the fray to get involved in the surroundings jealousy.

I recently talked to Joe about this
James Manning-san: So Joe, you have been to 11 Barry Manilow concerts? Seriously!?
Joe Deluva: Oh yeah. The man knows his music, plays in perfect tune and tone, is at home in any harmonic sequence, but lemme tell ya something Manning-SAN, if that’s what you are going by these days!
James Manning-San [interrupting]: “Going by’? Joe, that’s my name: use it and don’t wear it out!  Just joshing my brother.

Joe Deluva: So do you want me to tell you the Secret of Manilow or not?

James Manning-san: Uh, that’s, uh, why you’re here…that and your “inside the music business” rectitude with your perspective…or rectitiditivity [sic], as you call it

Joe Deluva: Okay, Manning-san, it’s as simple as it is effective. Here it is: Barry opens up literally every show with the song I’m sure you know it, Manning, called DAYBREAK. The song, the tempo are pop music genius. The average expected tempo is a perfect 119.5 bpm. Talk about the speed of GETTING OVER IT (!) and coming away with a sweet victory! Take a look at a  short list of songs at that speed which emote, to me anyway: I MADE IT, WE WON, AN OBSTACLE HAS BEEN OVERCOME! ‘We Are Family,’ BY SISTER SLEDGE, ‘Are You Going With Me,” by the PAT METHENY GROUP, ‘Borderline,’ by the queen of Let It All Hang Out Pop, Madonna Ciccone, or MADONNA for short.

James Manning-san: Ok – So what happens?  When The Showman of Our Generation, as Jan Wenner of the Rolling Stone has stated, open a concert with Daybreak?
Joe Deluva: Perect question, Jimmy-Boy! Let me just put it this way: by the time the first chorus is over, and the entire audience is singing, ‘and it’s DAYBREAK, and of you’ll only believe,’ now here’s the key, Manning-san: quarter note rest on a four and a huge Togetherness on the ONE: “AND LET IT SHINE – SHINE – SHINE! ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!!!” Let meeee [sic] tell you: the audience has been sucked, literally and figuratively, into the World of Manilow. You think I joke, young man?

Go to one of Barry’s concerts, his regular Vegas appearances: Let me know if that song ever fails to be the Barry-Candy that makes the man, his songs, his hair – and yes – that voice and GROOVE ever fails to simply, yeah man, really ‘whew’ an audience.  I know you know what I mean. It’s all these songs that transport people back in time for a moment, Sure James, everyone seems to brag “I HATE Barry Manilow.” I have heard the normally humble PHIL COLLINS say exactly that. What I say is: listen to the 119 1/2 BPM groove grab your heart, your spirit, the depth of your soul. I dare You!
James: As suggested, so tried! That’s very bold of you, Joe, to expose that which people have ignored because they are “too cool” – Deluva, man: that’s why you are welcome everywhere you go! You just love the rhythm, the beat, the tone, the melody, REGARDLESS of the Q-rating of the artist. Got a light dude? This DOES rock! You stay, THE DELUVA! Come back again soon!!! Thanks.

TITLE: Daybreak
Lyrics
I’m singin’ to the world
It’s time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I’m singin’ to the world
Everybody’s caught in the spin
Look at where we’ve been
We’ve been runnin’ around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear
{Refrain}
But it’s daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world – Sing it to the world, singin’, singin’
Sing it to the world, singin’, singin’
Singin’ to the world
What’s the point in puttin’ it down
There’s so much love to share
I’m singin’ to the world
Don’t you see it all comes around?
The feeling’s everywhere
We’ve been closin’ our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin’ our way

{Refrain}

Yes, and it’s daybreak if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain’t no time to grieve
Said it’s daybreak, if you’ll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world
Let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world – Sing it to the world, singin’, singin’
Sing it to the world, singin’, singin’
It’s day-ay-ay-break, can you feel it
Sing it to the world, singin’, singin’
It’s day-ay-ay-break, can you feel it
