Como é mágico Manhattan Transfer,para mim nem sei realmente qual é melhor (pois a cada uma que ouço entro em transe). Parabéns: Tim,Alan,Janis e Cheryl, vocês são demais! de uma jovem fã de São Paulo-Brasil 23 anos
Are they still together. I remember them from back in the 80s and I always admired their fire, their voices, and the way they handle the songs so well. A great group who got it going on. Great clip and I am so happy to see they were still together and doing it three years ago.
I don't know if I commented on this yet.... I trhink I should have o.o That being said! ...three people missed the like button. And if they didn't, they have no taste in music whatsoever >.> This is just awesome. Purely awesome. And this is coming from a 21 year old who knows a thing or two about good music considering he's heard something from pretty much every musical style.
Some of the comments on this video display a spectacular ignorance of the important legacy that MT have brought to the vocal harmony genre. They are the most consistent professional group of the last 30 years, able to deliver fantastic performances in any number of different styles. Before you comment further I suggest you go and examine the evidence in more detail. There are plenty of albums to choose from.
Trisk, no, I'm sorry. You're completely wrong. Manhattan Transfer is not an acapella group. They play with a band. They are a vocal harmony group. In my opinion The New York Voices, Take 6, Lambert-Hendricks-Ross, and many more far surpass them. They just had commercial success in the 80s because they were grouped with the right management team and producers. That's that. They are not gifted vocalists. They happen to have found a niche.
Very funny! If you can't hear the bad intonation, I'm not about to play "online music lessons". It's fine. Regardless though, they are singing out of tune. It's not an opinion.
oh man this feels so good! I have missed hearing these talented people. Vincent is right when he says mellower - but they're still smokin'! Thanks for posting YvonneZ
So glad to be back on youtube once again. Did the Manhattan Transfer. Once you see these groovy cats, you will never want to "transfer to another group. Iris
Again, you are wrong. They always have a backing band with the exception of one recent Xmas. They always tour with a backing band. I don't have to ask John or Annie. I have my own set of ears. Obviously yours need some tuning.

wow, these vocalists are awesome! i wonder if they are improvising? I bet they could! I enjoy these lyrics
Cheryl Bentine. Pipes of power and drama. Can be a muted trumpet whenever it suits her.

@Vincent50 yeah, they are still together, older, mellower, but still an incredible show.
é de arrepiar...Eu amo Manhattan Transfer...E quando eu nasci eles já estavam arrebentando de sucesso...em 1985.
Thanks for posting. OMG, the growl trumpet notes at 2:04 and 4:28!!
qué grandes todos
Listen to 1:25..the tenor is completely out. And that's in the first minute and a half.
@Vincent50 They're coming to the Detroit Jazz Festival this Monday.
@Vincent50 They are! I saw them a few weeks ago at my university.

Still sounding great (and looking great) after all these years
Almost. The vocal ensemble parts are horribly out of tune.

It's called vocalease, not improvisation.

@TeeAreify His lyrics were much better than theirs.
Murder. Absolute murder. A true butchering of Benny Golson.
I like a lot of their stuff... but not this
