I hope i don't offend anyone, but it seems most current day music listeners get stuck listening to only so-called popular music the top 40. By doing this they are missing out on enjoying music styles such as Manhattan Transfer. Enjoying music sometimes goes along with educating your "hearing palate" just as learning to enjoy different foods. I want to thank you Ty for showing me artists and styles of music I haven't listened to in years. Its so enjoyable to listen and watch these videos through your ears! God Bless.
I agree 100%... I grew up with music like this. This was a wonderful trip down memory lane.
First heard them when I was 11 years old . Now I'm 50 and have love their music most of my life.
When I was younger and in college I made a living singing Jazz acapella in a quartet. This was one of our bread makers. I've always loved this arrangement.
Love the Manhattan Transfer.. my ex acyually played saxophone on their first album the black and white album. Met them, spent time with them in their dressing room.. fantastic musicians and people as well. Birdland is a great song might want to check that out
This is one of my favorite songs, and the best version I've ever heard is by Twiggy. Yes, the 1960s London fashion model Twiggy. I had no idea she could even sing, and was amazed when I came across her recording of Nightingale on RUclips. Check it out sometime.
Manhattan Transfer were retro experts - they revived lots of old songs (particularly songs from the 1940s, which is when this song was written). A lot of those original cartoons were from that period too, so that explains the similarity. Manhattan Transfer were an acquired taste even in the 1970s and 1980s when they were at their most popular, but those vocal harmonies were excellent.
Thanks. Manhattan Transfer's harmonies are instantly recognizable and ideally suited to a one-mic setup such as you see in this video. Note that they are not individually mic'd up and that means certain harmonies are needed to project well. Interesting that you thought of Christmas carols as they sang. Manhattan Transfer has some of the finest collections of carols that you are likely to hear. When the season rolls around, give them a listen.
Sometimes you really need things to line up for you at the right times. And music has never failed to do that for me. I've long known of this song, but never actually listened to it. I'm most familiar with the beginning of the lrics, as they're used as part of the closing scenes from Good Omens. I also know and love the Manhatten Transfer, although I haven't listened to as much of their music as I should have. I needed this. Thank you.
And yes...they really do sound this perfect in person. Seen them at least 10 times over the years. Grammy winners and deservedly so.
R.I.P. Tim. 💙
I've never heard this type of music or song before. Thanks for the video brother, I really enjoyed it!
Ah, old-school! Takes me back to my junior high years. They were Pentatonix before Pentatonix were Pentatonix. :) Love your channel--your mix of music and the joy you get listening to different styles and genres is a true pleasure to see. Thank you!
Them and a group called Swingle Singers. Or, Jack Daniel's Original Silver Cornet Band.
Thx. If you've already subbed thanks. Feel free to share with friends, family and any social media!
This song was a big hit for Dame Vera Lynn in 1940. For those who do not know she was an English entertainer who kept the spirits of Britain up during World War 2 with her singing. Perhaps Renaissance Man will react to her singing White Cliffs of Dover. Dame Vera by the way is still alive, aged 101.
White Cliffs of Dover by Vera Lynn is such a powerful song, especially in the context of the time and it's meaning!
Do find Vera Lynn singing "We;ll Meet Again". Makes me tear up every time.
VERY late to this reaction! I saw The Manhattan Transfer in concert several times, and when the crowd demanded an encore, they did Tuxedo Junction, which would get the audience stirred up for even more. The musicians would leave, the singers would leave, the audience would stay and make more noise, and the singers would come back out and sing this song. It calmed the people down, and everyone went home. :)
Thats cool! Don't forget to subscribe and click the bell notification if you haven't already.
You and me on the boulevard, Spy song, Twilight Zone of their are my other faves of theirs
WOW! I had forgotten all about Manhattan Transfer. Thanks for sharing it and bringing back memories.
Diminished chords aren't easy to sing, but they pulled them off. 🙂
Yes Mahnattan Transfer. My brother first turn me on to this group with the song Twilight Zone. After that song we began to get all of their music. This is one of my favorites along with Killer Joe , and Java Jive.
Amen. Think you meant Twilight Tone.
I’m already giving this an thumbs-up ... do more Manhattan Transfer! (Heart’s Desire, Four Brothers, Ray’s Rockhouse, Route 66... and so many more!)
My mom was a big Manhattan Transfer fan, so I grew up listening to their stuff. Watching your reaction to this made me so happy. :-D
If you haven't heard his music before, check out Bob Dorough. He's most famous for "Schoolhouse Rock" (SO AMAZINGLY GOOD) and is also fantastic for his jazz bebop piano pieces ("Baltimore Oriole", "Yardbird Suite", "I Had the Craziest Dream"). I think you'll appreciate what he was doing.
this is a classic from the big band era....and it is a classic for a reason, lotta folks have covered it....wonderful feeling of a bygone era. manhattan transfer has that ability to bring that sound back.
I am sorry I never saw them perform live while Tim Hauser was still alive.
Not everybody's cup of tea but a good old song, My X wife sang at Weber State in a jazz group and introduced me to this song in 1981 or 82 as much as I like MT they and my wife did it as good or better
The Manhattan Transfer do a version of Operator. You should try that one too.
You should listen to the Vera Lynn version of this song. Soooo good.
Manhattan transfer rocked
Manhatten Transfer is awesome! Check out The boy from New York City
I had forgotten about the Manhattan Transfer, they were on all the variety shows in the 70's when I was a teenager. I hated that style of music then, now that I am much older I appreciate it more. The Brian Setzer Orchestra does a killer version of this song. It's worth checking out.
I usually just listen to your songs I never ask for one but I was listening you just got through playing a Carrie Underwood song Temporary hone and it made me think of the very best song I like of hers it is called Jesus Take the wheel .
I agree with Debbie Williamson. As an older subscriber, I thank my parents for exposing my siblings and me to many genres of music. I was a teen in the 1960s and there was a local radio station that played all types of music. Within an hour you could hear songs by The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, The Mills Brothers, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Aretha, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, anything Motown, Doris Day, etc. I also remember hearing Fingertips, parts 1 and 2 by Little Stevie Wonder on the radio - a treat I highly recommend. About once a month our parents would literally roll back the living room rug and play all kinds of music, ranging from 1915 up to the current day. They brought out the Victrola so we could play the 78's and the record player for the 45's and 33's. Mom and dad taught us how to dance to each type of song from their era and we would teach them how to dance to 'our' music, a tradition that has carried on to this day. I make an effort to listen to every genre I can, though in the car I prefer hard/alternative rock. I am sure you already have recommendations for Pentatonix, but if not, do, please check them out. Their version of Hallelujah. It is one of the best.
Here in my room!!! Please, kindly, The Beach Boys
I love Manhattan Transfer.
Do sound of silence ny disturbed please its amazing
Love LOVE Manhattan Transfer...one of my favorite groups...saw them live at Radio city musical
Look up VOCTAVE.. they are amazing!!!
My favorite version of this song is Harry Connick Jr's... you might went to check him out... a very talented guy!
I'm not a fan of Manhattan Transfer, nor a fan of this version of this song, but man … this might be the ONLY reaction to "Nightingale" on the interwebs! This song takes me back … my father and I working together while listening to WWII era music all day. Miss him, love the music. Would you please do some big band reactions? Maybe "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman? Or "American Patrol" by Glen Miller?
I love their song ''The boy from new york city'' 😊
Oh MRM, you so love good harmonies! You must check out I Cant Sit Down & Be Still Moses by Steep Canyon Rangers. Great songs for a Sunday morn. And Sam Bush's Circles. Bluegrass is good for the soul & folks that may not know, need to know! You keep on keepin' on. Enjoy it much!
Mom was in the Pentagon during WWII ,this reminds me of songs Mom sang in the kitchen.
Love this song .. This version is great but I love love Harry Connick Jr’s version.. it’s more upbeat with a jazzy big band feel to it :)
Thanks for reacting to the older stuff. Folks have written it off for so long now that it’s been forgotten by the masses. Growing up to stuff like this really highlights how mediocre most of the current-day hits are.
Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle on vocal is much better.
Java Jive is even better.
Where's Nat King Cole? One of the best singers of all-time.
You can tell by the comments - Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, "classic sound" - that he simply doesn't have the background or training to comment on this in any serious way.
It is like me commenting on some old theory in physics. I can pass a superficial asthaetic judgement, but lack the context and vocabulary to really say anything meaningful.
Wow! Of course I dont have the background. How old do you think I am?🤣 I wasn't even a sperm cell when this was probably made. Who would have thought that we need "background, training"in REACTING to music. REACTING.......I'll leave you to think about that.
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man If the "reaction" is going to have only personal value for people who know you and like to see your face change - okay. That is to some extent legit. But if we want to gain insight into the music based on what you say about it, how you react to it, then it matters a great deal. As an example take a complex play in American football. There is a fake, a lateral pass, two penalty flags and on the field and the play ends in a safety. Do I want to watch someone explain what happened and put it into the context of the rules and history of the game of football or embed this play into the context of these teams and these players? Do I want to hear, "Wow, that quarterback never tried that play before, no wonder it went wrong - and the penalty was the guy who threw that lateral pass - a rare move in football - moving too early on the hike." Or do I want to watch someone who didn't even notice the flags or the score say, "Gee, that one guy in the front sure got knocked over on that block and it sure looks impressive how that other guy caught the ball"? My reaction to, say, drag racing would be similar. I wouldn't notice how any race is much different from another, nor would I be able to tell why one car won and the other lost, nor would I know if either driver was doing anything at all interesting. I'd just say, "Wow, that was loud! Gee, a yellow car!" and smile at the big wheels and the flames shooting out. But that is why I wouldn't post a vid of me reacting to a drag race.
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man ...and your ability to comment deeply only has a little bit to do with your age. I am not an expert on many things, but the things I am expert on outside of my personal life tend to be things that were before I was born. It can be an issue of study, not necessarily being an eye-witness.
Your musical instincts were present while listening as you took breaths at the phrasing points in the song. Guessing you have some vocal background. Do you or did you ever play a wind instrument?
I've always enjoyed this type of sound. Reminds me of the Dean Martin era. Speaking of...You should do Dean Martin's Walking My Baby Back Home and My Rifle, My Pony and Me. The original crooner and such a great voice. If you do either, the studio recordings are better
What penatonics would be like in the 70s
Matt Anderson (RUclips)
Devils Bride and Broken Man
Mooooo
Acapella music
I feel like you should react to some pentatonix and voctave. You would be blown away.
Could you react to "Sound of silence" by Disturbed live from the Conan O'Brien show?
He's already done that one and down with the sickness hun
Oh.. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks.
@@Heartfortheking I loved his reaction to down with the sickness when the part about his mother, lol it was priceless. Yw sugar
Hey, I just subscribed tonight! You should definitely do "Fish" by Craig Morgan
I really like your mentality of wanting people to actually like your content.
Bruce Tassin, to me, this is the best channel on RUclips! Ty reacts to great music and give great advice on just about everything going on in someone's life! Welcome home, is all I can say!
Love this song but this lo-fi mono version does not do it justice at all. Too bad your viewers won't be treated to this song in it's proper sound quality.
i'm afraid that i can't subscribe to you because i don't have a bank account, so i can't use electronic money. also, as i'm terminally ill there's no point in my doing all that now. i love your reactions, though; especially pink floyd, my favourite band. i didn't enjoy this video as much as i hoped i would. there was an a capella group in the UK called the flying pickets. their song 'only you' was in the charts. i just looked them up, as i couldn't remember the name of the song and noticed that their video of it has over 16 million views. i hope you continue to check out lots of different types of music. the righteous brothers were exquisitely beautiful. i'd like to suggest a couple of other acts to you. my favourite singer/songwriter/guitarist is a Scotsman called john martyn. his guitar style in the 70s was uniquely wonderful. you need to see it live to see what's making all the wonderful ethereal sounds. 'i'd rather be the devil live 1973' is a good place to start. 'small hours' live 1978' is a calm and hauntingly beautiful love song. the other act is a classical 'crossover' singer called katherine jenkins, from my home country called wales. her cover of 'everything i do' is so beautiful. i want to promote both of these artists as much as possible before i die. i hope you'll react to them for me, even though i'm not a patron. i thank you in anticipation
You don['t have to have a bank account to subscribe on RUclips.
I will give these a listen. Thanks for the suggestions. You can still subscribe without paying anything. Ty does accept patrons but it isn't a must.
MR i just subed like your channel i have a request group is called Celtic Woman the song is "Dulaman"
Great song, poor version.
