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.
You could try through the fan club - see related link. However you may not get a personal reply.

The Captain and Tennile did it first, Big Daddy did it best, but Barry Manilow's version is probably the most widely known.
"I am Music, and I write the songs..." (according to Barry Manilow)
"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."
No, it is not. (I'm presuming you're talking about the one made famous by Barry Manilow, which was written by Bruce Johnston.) According to the ASCAP website, copyright for that song is administered by Artists Music Inc. of Santa Monica, CA.
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.
