Manhattan Transfer made music that helped me survive some of the worst times of my life.

Not too many groups with their wide range of vocals.
And the harmony was spot on.

The female singer in that song is the ultra-flexible Janis Siegel.

The closer I get to that age, the more it seems too young to die.

I was never much of a fan of their music, but was very appreciative of their harmony. As a guitarist and pedal steel player, I’ve always been into harmony, very deeply, as opposed to single note playing. Double and triple stops made my playing stand out. So, even though I wasn’t interested in their musical choices, I was very interested in their use of harmony!

In
Route 66, Tim Hauser sings the first stanza, which starts with the words "It winds from Chicago to L.A."

I remember seeing them in the Village in the early 70’s.
To: grundle
Saw them live in Spokane in 1982 for my birthday. I love their version of “Trickle, Trickle”.
I know Mr. Hauser used to play an ‘alternate character’ that occasionally appeared in Manhattan Transfer concerts named “L. Dorado Caddy”. He’d come out in a zoot suit with a wide-brimmed hat and do a kind of a comedy-jazz-riff.
RIP Mr. Hauser.

Birdland.
I saw them perform at Houston's Arena Theater in the early 1980s.

Sorry to hear this. I saw them live in concert in 1980, they were all truly memorable.
