Barry Manilow is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-producer Barry Manilow (Copacabana, Can't Smile Without You, Mandy, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Manilow, a cultural icon

Born Barry Alan Pincus in New York on June 17, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Manilow's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Barry hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Barry Manilow as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.

Happy Birthday, Barry, you're the best!
