which became a number-one hit for Barry Manilow in 1974 under the revised title of "Mandy". Scott English (The Song Writer) had a single release of "Brandy", which reached #12 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1971,[1] and made the US chart in March 1972.
If you actually know the history of this song you will all know that originally the song was written with the song Title of "Brandy" by Scott English & Richard Kerr in 1971 .......
Mary ... not being funny but, did you read previous posts ... Herbie is well aware of how Mandy goes .... He always puts his slant on songs ... to just copy the original would be pointless ! As it's always going to be compared to the original ???
Herbie actually knows the guy who wrote the song ... He is well aware of how the original Goes ..... ??????
Veteran singer and musician Herbie Armstrong appeared in Tuesday night’s semi final, singing the Barry Manilow track Mandy.
Producers of the show provided him with a backing track to rehearse to, which he did solidly for a fortnight. Then, hours before going on stage, he was told that he could not perform to this track after all. He said: ‘I felt confident and well-rehearsed until one of the production team told me that the backing track had to change and handed me another this happened 2x
It's horrible. Maybe he did have a good singing voice back in the day, but now he's below average. He had his chance but he decided to leave the path. It's too late old man.
@moosopal It's not because of his style, I saw his first audition, he sounded better and didn't sound shakey. Maybe he was just excited then. I thought he was way better in the first audition.
i know him hes a freind of my family and hes really good my brother played piano with him sining in his pub :3 :)
