America Gets Stuck on Barry Manilow’s ‘I Am Stuck on Band-Aid’, and Many More

What many don’t know is that before he was a chart-topping pop singer, Barry Manilow made his bread as a piano-playing, jingle writer. He penned equally memorable themes for a host of brands, some of which have become so recognizable that they’re still being used today. Just like his pop catalog, his list of contributions to advertising is filled with hits, including Band Aid’s “I Am Stuck On Band-Aid”.

The song won Young & Rubicam a CLIO award for the campaign in 1976 and is still being used by the brand, cementing Manilow’s legacy as one of the most successful pop stars and jingle writers to ever do it.
