Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Singer Barry Manilow thanked New York Friars Club members not only for accepting him into their group but not targeting him for their traditional roasts.
The singer, known for such soft rock hits as "Mandy," was made an honorary member of the private club this weekend, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
"Thank you so much for not roasting me," Manilow said at Saturday's luncheon. "I've been roasted every day since 'Mandy' came out."
Manilow also took time to recognize how his past hits, such as "Copacabana," have influenced the lives of others.
"As I get older, I realize what my music has meant to people," the singer said. "It's overwhelming. Thank you for this."
Friars Club Executive Director Michael Gyure said Manilow is a welcome addition to the entertainment club, the Daily News reported.
"He's such an icon in the music industry," Gyure said. "It was a perfect fit."
