Barry Manilo (Barry Alan Pincus)
Singer-songwriter and producer Manilo recorded "I Write the Songs" and
"Mandy" and is also known for his charity shows.
Before fame, Barry Manilo went to the Julliard School and worked at CBS
simultaneously. During this time, he began to work as a commercial jingle
writer producing jingles like that of the State Farm Insurance company…
"Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there…", and Band-Aid …”I am
stuck on Band-Aid, ’cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me!", for which he
adopted a childlike voice. His singing-only credits include Kentucky
Fried Chicken, Pepsi, Dr Pepper and the famed McDonald’s…”You
Deserve a Break Today" campaign.
