This signed sheet music is for I Write the Songs, autographed by Bruce Johnston, the songwriter behind this timeless classic. Though forever associated with Barry Manilow, who made it a global hit in 1975, I Write the Songs was actually written by Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys. The song was first recorded by Captain & Tennille and later by David Cassidy before Manilow’s heartfelt version on his Tryin’ to Get the Feeling album sent it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Its soaring melody and lyrics celebrating the universal spirit of music resonated deeply with audiences, earning Johnston the 1977 Grammy Award for Song of the Year. To this day, the track remains one of Manilow’s most beloved performances and one of the defining anthems of 1970s pop. Bruce Johnston (born 1942) is a singer, songwriter, and producer best known as a longtime member of The Beach Boys, contributing both vocals and compositions such as Disney Girls (1957) and Tears in the Morning. While his work with The Beach Boys cemented his place in rock history, I Write the Songs showcased his talent as a songwriter outside of the band. The track’s Grammy win and enduring popularity solidified Johnston’s reputation as one of the most gifted and versatile songwriters of his generation. Owning this signed sheet music for I Write the Songs is more than a collectible—it is a piece of pop music history connecting Bruce Johnston’s songwriting brilliance with Barry Manilow’s legendary performance. For fans of The Beach Boys, Barry Manilow enthusiasts, and collectors of Grammy-winning classics, this artifact represents the perfect intersection of two towering musical legacies.
