Well, to make a long story short, Barry Manilow is Jewish!

Since Barry Manilow's mother is Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father is Jewish too.

Barry Manilow (whose full birth name is Barry Alan Pincus) was born on June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York.

He is best known for such recordings as ''Mandy'', ''Can't Smile Without You'', and ''Copacabana (At the Copa)''.
