THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER - Boy From New York City (1986)

"Boy From New Yirk City" de MANHATTAN TRANFSER. Esta es una canción del grupo estadounidense de música soul The Ad Libs, lanzada como su primer sencillo en 1965, llegando al nº 8 en los EE.UU., aunque los Ad Libs grabaron más singles, nunca repitieron el éxito de "Boy From New York City". El tema fue también versionado por Los Darts y The Beach Boys en el Lp "Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)" en 1965. Los Manhattan Transfer, la adaptaron para su sexto álbum "Mecca For Moderns" de 1981. Este es el arreglo que los Manhattan hicieron de "Voy From New York City", para la grabación de su Álbum DVD "Vocalese" de 1986.

Este super tema lo dedico a mi hermano que se encuentra en New York desde hace más de 20 años... fue a buscar una vida mejor en compañía de su familia, tal vez algún día regrese para poder darle un fuerte abrazo y poder saludarlo...

Wow this is really amazing

[@innocentbystander3798]

Whoa... uptempo.

I don't care for the Darts version - extremely creative, just not to my taste - Ad Libs good - this is still the benchmark and MT's signature song. No one did it better. EVER.

[@bryanedney2723]

This was a reboot of the same song by the RnB group.THE ADLIBS

[@innocentbystander3798]

Yeah, we know.

This was the song of Jimmy

Gracias por subir el video (Y) saludos!!!

If they had stayed with the upbeat music they would have gone big time a lot more tha they did. Boy from New York City was their best yet.

[@8avexp]

They'd sped it up a bit.

[@Warriorking1963]

Somehow I don't think they started on X-Factor...

[@rodneysettle8106]

The two ladies are definitely fine.

[@enhaut1]

FNA!

[@jacksonurenmusic]

Damn that audience was really pushing the tempo

[@peterandreadakis3851]

Don't get me wrong, MT was really terrific but something, something I've never been able to put my finger on, kept this group from being truly great.

[@johnmack85730]

Too fast, the harmonies drop. The Ad Libs who originally did the song is much better. As a matter of fact, The Marketts do an instrumental version on their Batman Theme LP from 1966 called the Batdance that is better IMO

[@mattalbrecht7471]

Maybe they can sing it faster? I gotta piss
