He's been alive forever. He wrote the very first song.

He's put the words and the melodies together.

He is Barry and he writes the songs.

(Except the ones written by Bruce Johnson and other people.)

no one really gives him props, he is the Sinatra of his time for the most part, especially his 70's work and the production.[/quote]

Hey hey WOAH! The Sinatra part is reaching. (IMHO)

BUT his arranging and piano playing is great and he is underrated as a musician.

I too, am a barry fan, and I did notice the aging gracefully in some of his recent performances, and then I thought well gee, at least his plastic surgery or secrets to aging gracefully doesn't have him looking wierd as I have seen in other celebos. The guy is reaaly talented.
