I think I’d go with I Write The Songs or Copacabana .

Wasn't Mandy his first hit though? I think that was the first Barry Manilow song I heard on the radio.

I have no idea. I’m just picking what I think are his signature songs. I’m not sure yet which of the two I’d go with.(Mandy top 5 though)



For Helen Reddy it has to be I Am Woman.

A lot of these will be subjective.

Johnny Cash - "Ring of Fire" although reasonable arguments could be made for:

"I Walk the Line"
"Folsom Prison Blues"
"A Boy Named Sue"
"Sunday Morning Coming Down"

I don't think that I have a least favorite from her, but yeah, her radio material only got better as it was released. :) :) :)

God bless you and the lady legend always!!!

Holly

P.S. "You Just Watch Me" might be my most favorite of her radio material and sadly it only got as far as #20. :( :( :(
