WALK IN LOVE/MANHATTAN TRANSFER WITH LAUREL MASSÉ.

[jagara1]

I love The Manhattan Transfer even more now - Laurel is like a goddess :)

[dirtydonki]

Haunting, A real memory jerker this one. Great to hear again after all these years.

[rphunt2002]

wow, never saw Laurel like this b4! awesome.

[bunnyhop3211]

Saw them live, they were so good. This is beautiful.

[xxxChrist]

I was 16yrs old when this song was out, first love was happening, and I can never hear this without wanting to travel back to 34 years ago.

Thank the lord for YouTube!!

[1Skeptik1]

Delightfull! Thanks for brightening my day! Regards

[junysaerus]

[satterk1]

The amazing Laurel Masse and the Manhattans. Throughout the years, i have had this song on EVERY personal hi fi player i have ever owned, and still do today. This song will stay as fresh as the day i first heard it in 1978...pure class, luv ya Laurel.x

[neorich59]

I loved Man-Tran's version of "Tuxedo Junction" but when this came out, it blew me away.

In fact, the whole album this comes from "Pastiche," is full of similar gems, some in "40's style," but others, were more, for the time, contemporary efforts..

The album was "unavailable," for years, but can be found on C.D. or downloaded, these days..well worth a look!

[MortenRisdon25]

Download the audio from this clip at thetunify doht cohm.

[23jordanian]

Love it....simple as

[noddyneeds]

That was beautiful, almost makes me want to be in love again.

[LadyRaven67]

She looks like Aveline from Bread :)

[sergios345]

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

[hipocampelofantocame]

Laurel is the definition sublime.

[gendolad]

Beautiful, graceful, romantic. Just what is needed in these days of meaningless so called love songs. Laurel Masse is gorgeous, sweet voice, I could play this for ever.

Thanks for posting.

[flares]

My god!. I've never seen this performance before. How hot is she?. Love the song as well.

[jnrdryden1]

As a polynesian i couldn't wipe the WTF smile of my face watching this. I love MHT but this was so unexpected.

[hs19601130]

歌きわめて美しく上手。天才です。この人は。

[hs19601130]

とけてしまうほど美しい。ローレルは本来なら大スターです。ちゃ­めっけたっぷりで少しイモ臭くてかわいいです。歌は絶品です。

[john8pies]

This is surely the COOLEST performance on Youtube, by a long mile.....great song and a truly WONDERFUL singer (Laurel Masse)

[john8pies]

Great song and fantastic and beautiful singer!

[EwolDJ]

Her voice has never sounded more beautiful than here, and that's quite a claim. It's right up there with 'Scotch and soda', 'It wouldn't have made any difference' and 'Je t'attends'. Don't like the costumes or choreo though - tacky, didn't quite pull it off.

[richyz01]

special song by a special singer

[JohnDCox]

I'd forgotten how gorgeous Lauren Masse was/is. I always loved this. But as a 16 year old in '78 it was a bit embarrassing to admit to liking The Clash AND this music

[mikeysussex]

Great to see Laurel who left the group after a road accident. She was replaced by Cheryl Bentyne (a former coffee shop waitress). Laurel still records under her own name.

Manhattan Transfer are still going strong and will appear in London in May 2010.

[myasmate]

Well,whatever anyone else thinks (long live free speech) this performance is just spellbinding.

[DERedhead65]

gotta love us REDHEADS... hehe (;

[dnumgeis]

Where's Cheryl Bentyne? Perfect cover version.

[h49h49h49]

It wasn't a different world, just different people.

Laurel certainly brightened up my world - then and now.

[orangefunk]

massively different world mate... not just different people... technology, communications, media, music industry, end of cold war, etc...

BTw. I have this track on an old John Klemmer LP (sax) from 1978 called Arabesque. I did not realise it was even the same tune as the way its played is not quite like this... he was the original composer btw...

[myasmate]

True it was a different world back then,but not sure todays is any better

[myasmate]

What a beautiful,sensual,captivating performance and song.Todays performers take note.

[crimsonrush]

@myasmate Iknow what you mean - I felt like she was singing to ME - and I am sure many other listeners had the same experience. The sign of a truly magical performance.

[GriefTourist]

the performers seemed more sincere back then, nowadays they are hard faced

[TomateFarcie]

@GriefTourist it was a different world back then.

[PortVienna80]

I heard this song back in 1978 and was memerised by it: Laurel Masse's voice is so soulful on this one.Beautiful.

[GrezH]

This was a great single - This on the A side and "Four Brothers" on the flip.

Happy Days

[Jojoseahorse]

Lucky lady, that God blessed her with that voice AND that figure!

[monAncheta]

There's another version of this

song. Does anyone know who that guy was? He had a french name. last name started with letter "P" . i think..

[taratara123321]

Still listen to this song. has such a lot of meanings for me. beautiful xx

[JAVED5678]

100% pleasure....

[taratara123321]

Lovely song, a special song to me, sent to me by my Bluebell xx

[scalpsie]

Just wonderful ....memories.

[mrshenley1980]

yes xxxx

[olemuckspreader]

Superb. This song has been a favourite of mine for over 20 years. Sexy lady too

[rezelkins]

++++++++++++++++++++a1

[robbybobbyoh]

Beautiful interpretation from a Beautiful Songbird inside and out...Laurel is just as lovely today, by the way...just saw her this past Christmas season in concert in NYC...delightful and such a smart lady, too! Blessings!

[PoetryMan11]

Laurel Masse' preceded Cheryl Bentyne in MT and only dropped out because of a terrible auto accident that nearly killed her and required a long rehab.

Wow--besides a beautiful voice she does a pretty good hula dance too!

[stonebeam1]

think this is from 'the two ronnies', they had a stint with them

[mendipsforthlin20]

Wow, nice moves indeed. Like a sexy Sissy Spacek.

[erkingston]

I've never seen or heard anything as beautiful as her. It makes me weep.

God was having a good day when he made Laurel.

[Jojoseahorse]

That's exactly what I always say about Patti Smith :)

[holydiver73]

My dad had the Pastiche album and I loved this song when I was 5.  Haven't heard it in so long though, thanks for posting. Laurel is probably the most desireable woman that ever lived.

[salipendatun001]

lovely music.... just but fitting to a lovely lady...mitch....

[myroseaccount]

I was 12 years old when I saw this on the Two Ronnies in 1978. I was just about to enter puberty. Seeing Laurel sing and perform this had a profound effect on me that saturday night when this came on! 30 years later as a man and watching it again I can see why her MOVEMENT stirred all sorts of new and unfamiliar feelings in that 12 year old Boy! True class, grace and talent. Simply not enough of this around anymore! I hope she is well wherever she is now.

[mcwolfus]

@myroseaccount I wanked over her too.She her now, fuck

[TheEctomorph]

@myroseaccount

I am not surprised that you had the hots for the female vocalist of Manhattan Transfer when you were twelve years of age, back in '78. She was a VERY attractive/fanciable young woman ...... and, what is more, she had a lovely voice as well, so she did.

"Walk In Love" was - and indeed still is - a great single. It reached the lower echelons of The Top 20 in the early part of 1978 (if memory serves) but it deserved to be a MUCH bigger hit that it actually was.

[lonegroover]

@myroseaccount I bet your balls dropped on the spot

[djjohnnie]

@myroseaccount, Her moves then will get a pubescent kid's hormones going even today.

[tanagerbirder]

What beautiful and graceful movement. Sensual without being sexual - Madonna take note!

[myasmate]

@tanagerbirder I couldn't agree more.

[PatsyS3]

God!...this is brilliant!,i remember this track many years ago!!Great vocals & harmonies,Luv it!

What Cd is this From?..Anybody?..

LoL

[jojijoji88]

Pastiche！

[PatsyS3]

[candial15]

[linda164]

Laurel! Went to high school with you at John Jay - Linda Serino, remember? I was one of the hippies with Marie and Andy Horn....

[chuniashvili]

Awesome! Thanks! I've been looking for it for a long time.

[hibob418]

[Iggswalker06]

I saw this once 30 years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. It's great to see it again - thanks,

[simonlee1961]

God, was she hot, great song and group too.

[ghb61]

Laurel Masse is my favorite jazz singer ever.

I've met her, and she's sweet and very genuine.

[BrodD061]

Does anybody have a midi or karaoke of this song? How can I get a copy?

[p6ulo]

I absolutely love this song. 1)Thanks for posting, and 2) Thanks youtube for the media. Where else can you find your long lost favourite vids? Paul

[ian3876]

I totally agree

[melissabell29]

one of my fave songs!!

[K1E233]

They don't make songs like this any more

[jagman523]

[sergios345]

Yes is "Two Ronnies"1978.

[lostlanguage]

Is this from the "Two Ronnies"? They did quite a few shows in the 70s

[spockster59]

Sergio, quite a collection of videos you have of the group. Thanks much for posting them! Though I think someone needs to wake Alan up on that lounger *lol*
