"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."

Yes. Barry Manilow sang the U.S. national anthem at Super Bowl XVIII, for the game between the Washington Redskinsand Los Angeles Raiders on January 22, 1984.
Well... Barry Manilow sang it so I would have to assume he wrote it as weel.
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.
A few musicians made a song called "Could this be magic". Most notably are Barry Manilow, and the band "Take That"
The Captain and Tennile did it first, Big Daddy did it best, but Barry Manilow's version is probably the most widely known.
It's 'Mandy' rather than 'Randy' and it was originally Barry Manilow.
