Sesame Street - Alphabet song (Manhattan Transfer)

[EydieGourmet]

agreed ...it is definitely NOT The Manhattan Transfer and it does sound like Blossom Dearie on top...like a Blue Stars sound

As a kid, I remember being impressed that they could fit all the letters on the screen LOL

[SamOliver4]

Too epic for words. I still remember this song.

While this version is kick ass, I'm wondering who has the clip of the twin boy and girl singing the alphabet song. Anyone? Could you post it please?

This is one of the most memorable videos for me. At age 20 I still fully remember the melody of the song and the urban animation.

HELL NO...NOT MANTRAN !!!

[jazzsynger]

This is NOT the Manhattan Transfer. It IS a vocal jazz-ish group...sounds like Blossom Dearie on the top voice.

The final skit to air as part of the show's original format. :(

[wolfenklaue]

That's very sad. :/ I wonder what made them change a tried-and-true formula?

the age margin of the show got smaller. Back in the 70's, the viewing ages were from 2-8. Now because there are a million channels and programs, the older kids watch other things. The age range now is 2-4 so they changed it to a preschool theme
