The Manhattan Transfer - On A Little Street In Singapore

Lyrics:
ON A LITTLE STREET IN SINGAPORE
Peter DeRose/Billy Hill
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
And then I hold you in my arms
And love the way I loved before
On a little street in Singapore
On a little street in Singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace

Classy band for a lot of teenagers at the time. We had the lot back then.

Thank God we never forget these great artists.
They certainly made us enjoy the times we spent listening to them and remember what we were doing during that period of our lives.
The Manhattan Transfer rock. Love from 2017 and two happily married guys who have nothing but great memories.
We had to travel from Australia to New Zealand to get married, now our lives are 100% complete.
Thank you, xxxxxxxxxxx

Fantastic and Great Version of this Superb timeless song came into the music legend forever.The Voices are as usual of an incredible harmony and transport us to another time, accompanied by a music of a precision and an exceptional quality, the perfect marriage. And, at the end, we obtain this magic moment which is the hallmark of MANHATTAN TRANSFER. You never tire of it, it's pure pleasure for the ears.

Wonderful version of this song. Great foxtrot music!

[@AlfHofstetter]

A really good song. gives you the feeling of the 1930 back.

Written in 1939, first US performance by Harry James with Frank Sinatra. This version's obviously inspired by the Glenn Miller / Ray Eberle record which came out about a month later.
