THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER It's Been More Than Thirty Years Since
THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER It’s been more than thirty years since Tim Hauser worked as a marketing executive and New York cabby with dreams of creating a vocal group. One night in 1972, Hauser’s taxi fare was an aspiring singer named Laurel Massé, who was familiar with Jukin’, an album Hauser had made with an earlier Manhattan Transfer combo. A few weeks later Hauser met Janis Siegel at a party. Although Siegel was then performing with a folk group called Laurel Canyon, Hauser convinced her and Massé to be part of his nascent group. At the same time, Alan Paul was stirring hearts on Broadway, appearing in the original production of Grease. When he met with Hauser, Siegel, and Massé, the groundwork was laid for The Manhattan Transfer, which was officially “born” on October 1, 1972. Early on, the group developed a strong cult following, while playing such New York clubs as Trude Heller’s, Reno Sweeny, and Max’s Kansas City. In 1975 they released their self-titled album, and enjoyed early success in Europe. Their next two albums, Coming Out and Pastiche, brought them a string of top ten hits in Europe, and their overseas popularity was cemented with the release of The Manhattan Transfer Live. Massé then left the group in 1978 to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by Cheryl Bentyne, a young singer/actress from Mt. Vernon, Washington. Their next album, Extensions, earned them their first domestic pop hit, “Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone,” penned by Alan Paul and Jay Graydon. The album featured “Birdland,” the piece that has since become The Manhattan Transfer signature tune.
