Amazing music video for one of the greatest tracks ever recorded by the Manhattans with George "Smitty" Smith on lead. This was one of the first tracks they cut after leaving carnival records. This is a high quality version with no missing footage.

Thanks for this rare and great video. I love The Mighty Manhattans and no if's or and's about it. They were just as good as the Temp's. Maybe better??

I have to admit that I've been a fan of the Manhattans all my life. HOWEVER, I was born in '74, and I know virtually nothing about them prior to the arrival of Gerald Alston. I'm VERY HAPPY to see this. One thing that I can see about these guys is that I ALWAYS enjoyed watching them step. They never get credit for that part of the game. Cool to see a younger Blue Lovett.
