Barry Manilow, from Brooklyn, New York, got interested in music as a child, playing the accordion. His step-father gave him a piano when he was 13. Barry listened and loved jazz and swing albums. After high school, he went to a performing arts school. To pay for that, he worked at CBS, where he wrote many jingles, including some that that are famous today for McDonald's and Band-Aid, as well as others. He also wrote many songs and musicals, as well. With the success of “Mandy,” there was no stopping him.
Pat Benatar was also born in Brooklyn, New York, and she is famous for songs like “Fire and Ice” and “Love is a Battlefield,” among others. Her work with certain charities is also important to her.

She is about to embark on her first live concert in more than 2 years, and then she is going to make her first album in over 15 years. Benatar has won 4 Grammys, with 6 albums going platinum and 4 gold. Now that she'll be back, there's no telling how many more she'll receive.
