No, he didn't write one, but he did sing one, it was called "Get A Bucket Of Chicken" and was later featured on his "Barry Manilow Live" album as part of the track "A Very Strange Medley" which also featured jingles Manilow sang for other companies such as McDonald's and Dr. Pepper, and ones he wrote for products including Band Aid and State Farm.
The lyrics to the KFC commerical were:
There's barkin' in the kitchen
Yellin' in the hall
Ringin' at the door bell
Poundin' on the wall
Kids out of sight
And kids in the way
No time to cook on this hectic day
Come on, come on, come on
Get a bucket of chicken
Finger lickin' good
Have a barrel of fun
Goodbye ho-hum
Say hello to your family
Come on everyone
At Kentucky Fried Chicken
Have a barrel of fun

The Captain and Tennile did it first, Big Daddy did it best, but Barry Manilow's version is probably the most widely known.

"I Write the Songs" was written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys in 1975, and recorded on albums by The Captain and Tennille, David Cassidy, and Barry Manilow. Cassidy had the first single version, but it was Manilow whose version hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976.
He didn't . He wrote , "The Pepsi Generation" jingle .
Actually, Barry Manilow never sang on the original jingle. He did write the music for it, though. Also, he did sing it as part of his V.S.M. (Very Strange Medley) in concert for a number of years. 1976 is the year that State Farm started running the ads. BTW, that VSM is on Barry Manilow Live, the one that was released in May, 1977.
If you mean "I Write the Songs", it was written by writer, performer, producer and Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston. The Captain and Tennille (Love Will Keep Us Together) recorded a version as well as David Cassidy (of Partridge Family fame) before the top selling version by Barry Manilow.
You could try through the fan club - see related link. However you may not get a personal reply.
"Could it Be Magic" used the lyrics "sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime." Anymore, he frequently changes this to "heaven sent you, angel of my lifetime." "You've Got a Friend," the Carol King classic he recorded with Melissa Manchester on his album, The Greatest Songs of the Seventies, also uses the name Melissa when he says, "Sweet Melissa, you just call out my name."
