TUXEDO JUNCTION/MANHATTAN TRANSFER WITH LAUREL MASSÉ

[letlizzzzzz]

solo not loud enough

[MrWigwag62]

I always thought the studio at " the whistle test" was small !!! So how come the claps !!!!!

Manhattan Transfer was arguably the best signing quartet of the times. They're just an outstanding A Cappella as well. Two of my favorites of theirs are Twilight Zone - just superb... (remove the space in the URL before the .com)

Laurel is good but Cheryl Bentyne sings circles around her. Cheryl has so much more of a jazz feel in her vocal dynamics than Laurel did.

Man' Transfer have got to be one of the most under-rated groups ever. God only knows why! l've had a vinyl LP for more than 20 years now and l treat it like gold!

[46619TAB]

@crankbv1 I thought I was the only one still hanging on to their vinyl LPs!!!!

[crankbv1]

@46619TAB Many thanks for your reply; but hell no,you aren't. At my age vinyl is about all l have left to hang on to and to start building a CD collection now would be financially prohibitive,even if l could still find the stuff l like,examples being...Man'Transfer, Leon Russell, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Billie Holiday, King Oliver, Mills Brothers, but to mention a few. Plus the sound quality of good vinyl exceeds that of CDs. No thanks,,l'll stay with it, as l suspect will you!

[46619TAB]

@crankbv1 I will never give up my Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Moody Blues, Beach Boys ET AL as well as various classical composers that I have on vinyl! I've converted a few to CD for the car but there's nothing better than a good sterio system, a glass of wine and a hot summer night on the deck listening to good vinyl and looking at the stars!

[crankbv1]

@46619TAB Thanks for that. Sounds good to me..A man after my own heart. lncidentally, you list Fleetwood Mac,.As it happens,l have an original 45 of Albatross. lf that wasn't written with a view to crashing out with a few cans l don't know what is...Stay good !

[irismcooper]

They are so groovy and such cool cats. You think . . Thanks for posting this on You-Tube. They have been around for quite a while. They were here many years ago in D.C. Their voices and style are to die for. You think. . .

[Wolfsky9]

The Transfer, from '76 & '77--I fell in love with them & their wonderful vocals. Wolfskyi9

[sergios345]

Now Laurel and Janis return to sing TOGETHER AGAIN !! they have formed together with Lauren Kinhan the vocal group called "JALALA"

[BjoernLewin]

great vocals yet unbearable

[adduxe]

Watched them perform last night at Thousand Oaks. Man! If I can sing half like that in my...uh, now, I'd be happy! B-)

[irismcooper]

@adduxe

I would even settle for 25 percent to sing like that. They are a national treasure.

[hipocampelofantocame]

I just rocked and cried. Many thanks for this post. hipo

[bundleHastings]

Looks like she is wearing a shabby old nightdress with a cardigan. Just dreadful!

[charliepc56]

I love Manhattan Transfer and love this song! Thanks!

[rightousaussie]

Terrific! Funny, but this sort of became their signature song, and probably came as a surprise to them!

[Dayniac4324]

Love it !!!!

[chkjns]

Just added this to my 1976 playlist !. I have an hour of music for each year 1950-1975 and each of the past 100 years will play for over an hour.

It's all quality harmony and orchestral pop like this. Manhattan transfer and 200 more atists each have their own playlists as well.

Thanks for this upload and to all the uploaders who make music happen here.

[Larkin1907]

I remember this show. It was the only time my mum and dad stayed up to watch the Old Grey Whistle test. I was about 19 at the time.

[Harrylechat01]

Always loved Man Tran but surprised to see them on The OGWT. Unless maybe that was Whispering Bob Harris singing on the left :-)

[dwtslvr]

This is just awesome. Thanks for posting.

[keta333]

[edward1960hotmail]

Thanks for posting.... in their world there is NONE better than Manhattan Transfer. They were (are?) the best. Besides I had a thing for the shorter girl.... dang there's a memory I didn't need to share.... but she was just soooo cute.

[ebobadilla]

The best of all time :) I love.

From Dominican Republic.

[stokepogue]

OGWT had everyone on!

[SgtWookieUSMC]

Manhattan Transfer is simply awesome! Their technical expertise, precision, interpretation and range just blows me away. They'd be an extraordinarily tough act to follow.

[elvischevy]

great vocal group ,take me back to my childhood in the 1970s /

[TeachESL]

Thank you for putting this on!!! I've always loved them!!

[ocamico]

I've loved them since I was in High School.Sang my heart in choir,still singin today.

[egrosz]

They are WONDERFUL!!!!

[slobone]

This looks like it might be from their short-lived TV variety series.

[JENBETH5]

no you can red the background its the old grey whistle test ummm I have the led zepplin dvd it's a show in the uk

[cbak12sg]

Nope. It's from the long running British music show, The Old Grey Whistle Test.

[louswire]

I wish we had this kind of programming on  in the u.s.

[cmcoultrup]

I love them SOO much.

[terry1919]
