@Keith Smith: I'm not sure that they were better than Ella in communicating that joy you spoke of, but they were definitely up there. And this song certainly conveys that joy! I like singing along with MT; usually I pick one of the women's lines to sing. What I love about this song, is that I feel the liberty to ad lib and can play around and it always works.
This song is their best. Mystery, Spice of Life, and Ray's Rockhouse come in a close second for me. I've never seen a group that can make every genre their own. The Manhattan Transfer do. Tim, you are missed.
Also thanks to the great Brazilian artist Djavan, who helped them and authorized them to make this song, that is actually a cover of Djavan's "Sina" (published in 1982)
Love their voices. I was in the Navy and my roomie was playing Ozzy so loud in his Walkman I could hear it and couldn't sleep. I found jazz music would drown him out and still let me sleep. That's how I found the Transfer, Spyro Gyra, Joe McBride, etc.
I loved this group from when i was merely 9 now at 48 im still loving them and this is my favorite song and Spice of Life....NOW THIS IS WHAT I CAN MUSIC!!!!!!!
Sounds so much like the CD, no ? Where are the musiciens ? Isn't it play-back ? Before answering listen to the cd and compare. I love this song don't get me wrong.
Wow this is an incredible group. Disappointing to see them Lip-synching their own music. I can't believe they agreed to do that.I saw these guys live in a double bill concert with Take 6.These guys are absolutely the real deal.they must've got a lot of heat from the record label or some one to make them do this kind of a performance. Oh well I'm still a big fan.
It's common for singers to lip synch to their own music. Purists may object but there could be a good reason why the synch was preferred. As long as they sang the original I've got no problem. This isn't a Milli Vanilli situation
Sì, è vero, ma i Sanremo di quegli anni, così come il panorama musicale, aveva un non so che di... magico, che il playback quasi va in secondo piano. Era tutto perfetto musicalmente: talento, varietà musicale, estetica, presenza scenica, testi, tutto. Quanto sarebbe bello ritornare a quegli anni. 😪
I don't think anyone ever communicated the sheer joy of singing better than the Manhattan Transfer.

Also thanks to Djavan who did the original song that they covered
I always loved this song. It really should have been a Top 40 hit.
Goodbye Tim Hauser. I'm glad I got to see you and the rest of the Manhattan Transfer live.
Who is listening 33 years later in 2021?
I 'm listening in 2024 😍

Saw them on this tour. It was beautiful and magical. One of the best groups to this day!

I loved this group from when i was merely 9 now at 48 im still loving them and this is my favorite song and Spice of Life....NOW THIS IS WHAT I CAN MUSIC!!!!!!!
Latrice, pat yourself on the back for having such good taste as a 9 year old, and for continuing that good taste as an adult.
LOVE LOVE the song.
dal vivo che dire.......fantastici
non sono convinto siano dal vivo....a parte la base, sento troppe voci fuori campo...
Bin ich froh die Maxi davon noch zu haben!😊
Ich bin froh an der LP von denen
Ich auch😊

This song is Djavan's "Sina", 1982.
Djavan collaborated in this version and authorized it!
Love this group!

I used to get up in the morning with this song for a certain period.
just the best - like Keith Smith"s comment - so true - masters of harmonising
Wow!!!!!!
A class act. Thanks for uploading this.
I saw this live in Chicago. It was spellbinding.

God wanted ElDorado Caddy up in heaven! RIP, Tim Hauser. ------------------Wolfsky9
Hmmm - perhaps. But both ElDorado Caddy (your LA Daddy - heh, heh, heh) & Tim Hauser are missed.
Lip sync! So hard to find a legitimate live version of them doing this.
+Blind Labyrinth I watched MT perform this 4 times, in person. It was always awesome, just as you hear on this video. ----Wolfsky9
This is not lip sync. This is their live sound.

Yeah, Alan Paul lip-synching to Djavan's additional vocal on this is a dead giveaway.
Yeah but it’s Manhattan Transfer, a vocal group. Very disappointing.
I first heard this beaut on jazz fm in the UK. Sadly the station is bland playing the same old shite.
Che vergogna farli cantare in playback. Sanremo negli Anni Ottanta era, da questo punto di vista, una cosa indegna.
La stessa cosa capitata ai Queen
Sì, è vero, ma i Sanremo di quegli anni, così come il panorama musicale, aveva un non so che di... magico, che il playback quasi va in secondo piano. Era tutto perfetto musicalmente: talento, varietà musicale, estetica, presenza scenica, testi, tutto. Quanto sarebbe bello ritornare a quegli anni. 😪
Lip sync.
