Ok....he also worked for CBS wile he was at college. At CBS, 18-year-old Barry met a director who asked him to arrange some public domain songs for a musical adaptation of the melodrama The Drunkard. Instead, he wrote an entire original score. The musical became such a success that it ran for eight years.
Also at CBS, Barry was the music director for the local TV series Callback while he was writing, producing and singing radio and television jingles. In addition to all this, he was half of a musical duo for a two-year run at New York's Upstairs at the Downstairs club.

On September 12, 1973 he was on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, performing back-up for guest Bette Midler He produced Midler's first two breakthrough albums, Divine Ms. M (1972) and Bette Midler(1973).
