Besides Copacabana, another classic which he is known for is 1975’s “I Write the Songs”.  His rendition of this track scored a number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other songs which he dropped during the 1970s which accomplished the same are “Mandy” (1974) and “Looks Like We Made It” (1977). And even as a senior citizen, Manilow remains musically active having released his 29^th album, “Night Songs II” (2020), at the age 76.
