Wonderful! I love how Janis actually held back a bit, to allow the younger people to really shine! She’s a real pro and one of my favorite singers of all time! ❤❤❤❤
Just heard this tonight. Great version of an old favorite of mine. Everyone was fine, including Mr. Carrillo (I played the tenor long ago - early 60s) and his solo was great. Janis Siegel was still on top of her game. Thanks!
Just found this, simply wonderful!!!
Janis Siegel brought leadership to melodious melodies
so jealous that these guys got a chance to get jazzy with Janis!!
You guys did not disappoint performing this legend!
I went to IU as a music major (vocal) many years ago. Wish I could have been in that group! Great rendition. Thanks!
thank you, janis, for your soul and music the manhattan transfer!!!
this is fantastic time!!!
Wonderful!
Liked this, gave me chills!
Is that Steve Zegree? Miss him. Knew him from Gold Company days at Western Michigan. I knew he had moved on to IU prior to his untimely passing. In the 80's, Steve hosted Phil Mattson (twice that I attended) in week long summer vocal jazz/choral conducting workshops. Later, Steve took GC on the road and stopped to do a show (and stay overnight) at the high school I taught choir (Hazel Park, MI). Great memories. And, of course, Janis rocks. Have seen Manhattan Transfer many times, including just a few years back when they combined with Take 6.
Господи Боже благослови Janis Siegel
Nice!
Thanks !
OMG!!
SING WITH SOME SOUL GUYS COME ON!!!!! too many musical theater majors!!!!
Janis is still 😰😊😉
well - she doesn't sound very good unfortunately and they have no idea how big she was probably
Now come on Richard. Don't be so defensive. I met janis quite some time ago and always loved her singing. It was phenomenal. I was just surprised - that's all. But she's lovely. And actually, I'm writing a song with and for Cher with Bob Esty right now. So, I'm good.
