就销售成绩与歌唱生涯的长度而言，Barry Manilow无疑是流行音乐史上最成功的抒情歌手之一。尽管他在事业颠峰时期也不曾受到乐评人青睐，但这位向来以歌艺与创作才华征服乐迷的抒情天王，在七○年代后半与八○年代初期仍旧创下五千八百万张的唱片销售量，并接连炮制出25首前40名单曲，其中更有13首曾经登上成人抒情榜的冠军位置。八○年代后期，Manilow在褪去畅销歌手的光环与压力后，转而诠释起自己深爱的爵士、摇摆、流行经典与百老汇音乐剧.
　　1976年至1980年，他以冠军曲“I Write The Songs”、“Looks Like We Made It”和“This One's For You”、“Weekend In New England”、“Can't Smile Without You”、“Copacabana”、“Somewhere in the Night”、“Ships”、“I Made It Through the Rain”等单曲陆续攻陷排行前十名，1977年他甚至还在葛莱美奖与全美音乐奖之外，赢得了首座电视艾美奖，足见他横跨各个领域的杰出才华。
　　相较于他的创作才华，他柔美的歌声与炉火纯青的唱腔却更为乐迷们所肯定，因为聆听Barry Manilow的音乐就如同咀嚼美好的回忆，越是经过时间的沉淀，越能感受到他音乐中永恒的纯真与浪漫。

Artist:Barry Manilow
Song:Can't Smile Without You

You know I can't smile without you

I can't smile without you

I can't laugh and I can't sing

I'm finding it hard to do anything

好听的音乐，沪江与我一同去美国(*^__^*)

You see I feel sad when you're sad

I feel glad when you're glad

If you only knew what I'm going through

I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song

And brightened my day
Who would believe that you're part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing

[Can't Smile Without You lyrics on

I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
But I'm finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me, so you see

I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
