Much of the soundtrack of the 1970s was actually written by Manilow, who began his career writing commercial jingles. His other work includes Pepsi’s “Feelin’ Free” jingle and State Farm’s “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” theme song.
Manilow also sang the jingle for Dr. Pepper, which was written by I Love L.A. songwriter Randy Newman.
