Copacabana was a fun song. I would say barry's only Disco song. His other material to me was good. It was a different time then. No "gangsta" crap.
I really like "Mandy"; get's me a little teary-eyed.
Not quite disco, but folks were dancing to it. Barry had a great ear for pop hooks. The Manilow Renaissance beckons; it's almost cool to like him again.

Barry released a track in the late 80s called "I'm Your Man". The dance remix proved to be quite popular on the gay scene for a while. However, the later release of the dance version of "Copacabana" overshadowed this reasonable contribution to the genre.

When it came out 'Copa' was a MONSTER, I used to open with it at the Visions Lounge in Hialeah, Fl., just to get everyone in the mood...Take it Lola!!!
"who's been sleeping in my bed "used recently by daft punk was a disco monster!

I agree w/Pineyrican that At The Copa was a fun song. I'm sure that all of us tuned into 77 WABC back then to hear this and watched American Bandstand to see Barry perform it.
We seem to have forgtten "looking hot tonight" also released in the 80s
