Manhattan Transfer tearing Four Brothers a new one.

[@k.8935]

One of the best groups❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@toddburton6570]

Beyond the obvious talent, they exude class...

[@texaspchcmonkeespodcast4586]

I watch this just to hear Laurel's last screamer...and I love how she smirks after its over, like...that note?? No big deal at all!! lol

[@mjc5509]

A throwback to the golden sound of LAMBERT HENDRICKS AND ROSS And DOUBLE SIX OF PARIS........the early 70s had many 40s influenced performers ..POINTER SISTERS FIRST TWO ALBUMS and BETTE MIDLER. Amongst others..

[@thepablorecordsii2577]

This is the best Four Brothers presentation I've seen and Laurel Massé's masterful closing, simply wonderful. I love this video.

[@karelpieterbuijse4171]

Love this performance very much! Laurel Massée very impressive voice, I am sorry she had to leave ManTran after her car accident to early…..

[@clbernier2]

She is my favorite!!!!

[@dougt2723]

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Saw them 9 times and for live singing you cannot beat them!

[@toddburton6570]

I think I also saw them nine times, and met them all once. Janis and her son Gabriel met me for lunch once...

[@MendTheWorld]

@@toddburton6570 My wife snuck backstage after a concert and got to meet them…. actually the longtime line-up of Tim, Alan, Janis, & Cheryl, and they were absolutely as kind and gracious as could be imagined. It was a great experience for her.

[@cargo71]

Obsessed with this song! They´re all great artists, and sound perfect.

[@Mistertudball]

Unmatched talent and I've been following them for decades.

[@byronenriquemendezmunoz293]

[@edrick826]

Laurel Masse...…….. what a beautiful woman...oh yes, and she could sing too!!!! AND of course the rest of the fabulous crew!!!...YA!! RIP TIM HAUSER>

[@stewartswanson2192]

It's Fab to have this high quality video with the original line up including the ever-so-swingingly talented Laurel Massé.

[@c.annaobrien9339]

Holy shit screaming trumpets come to the vocal world, thanks Laurel for that! Tim, you're lookin snazzy!

[@sheen4dean71]

I was 6 when Pastiche came out and I used to love hearing those songs. Walk in love will always give me goose bumps. That high note at the end of this is fanfu@kintastic. What a band!!!

[@lars-eriklarsson8067]

Wonderful song and amazing voices

[@wargran]

I have no idea how they remembered the words! That was such an amazing performance. We saw them at the Festival Hall here in London.

[@jazzclubsworldwide597]

No true. Check out New York Voices. Incredible.

[@rolom3]

The Real Group from Sweden are really good too. Check out their Count Basie medley!

[@JulianDiaz-Tpt]

The real group from from Sweden. Amazing. Listen to their Basie medley. The voicings are exactly the same as the original arrangements.

[@MrDavey2010]

These guys were on TV lots back in the day. Very talented.

[@大久保明-t7n]

I love this time very much!

[@TheJazcat]

Notice Alan has the hand movements in perfect sync.

[@fuckmeraw57]

Let’s get their 1975 CBS television show (4 episodes) restored and released...Someone must have the masters somewhere...???

[@FRED5067]

★🎵If asked which one the best of MT,I'll say this one without doubt, ・・・For high beats, rhythem ,perfect harmony ,each solo presentations , This is nothing but a real JAZZ chorus! Perfect! 🎵

[@clbernier2]

My fantasy dream was for the Manhattan Transfer sing with all four Pointer Sisters. The Pointer Sisters could sing the same fast songs. ❤❤❤❤

[@australier263]

Alle Klasse und gehen voll ab! Grosses Kino!👋👋👋👋👋😘

[@simonf8902]

Love the costumes. The style. The personalities. The voices. The songs. They are all very lovely too. What happened to them?

[@toomuchinformation]

Sublime.

[@liliortiz981]

Excelent✨️🎼🙌

[@simonf8902]

Talent. ❤

[@nemo_sub5476]

The beautiful Laurel Masse hitting that great high note at the end. I agree with @Wombat - as a teenager listening to The Jam this shouldn't have worked for me but I bought Pastiche and the follow up album. Used to ease me through my homework on an evening.

[@anneroselli161]

Best jazz gver I iove you rip dear timwtrh all my llove

[@RoryVanucchi]

Great.. Saw them in the 70s

[@bernarddover1442]

PERFECTION

[@clodomiro2]

Big fun! ... and I've fall in love with Cheryll!

[@johndipinto4084]

Cheryl's not in this video though - that's Laurel Massé. She left the group after the album that this song was on. She was in a car accident in 1978 that sidelined her from singing temporarily, but she also had become disenchanted with all the touring and the business aspects of being in the group and wanted to pursue a solo career, which she ultimately and successfully did.

[@irenakaczmarek]

SUPER!!!

[@oscargarciamiguel6745]

Muy buenos y la banda que arropa también 👏👏👏👏

Itt még a balettban ugrálnak..

Ki is vágták az amerikaiak a gengszter dalt a Macskafogóból.

[@imperatorscipioafricanus]

Szerintem maradtak is ugrálni a balettban... #MACSKAFOGÓ4EVER

Thanks to OGWT ! OMG so many new bands

[@stevenryle5709]

Hope they play that at my memorial service

[@大久保明-t7n]

best Four Brothers！！！！！

[@bronzemen34]

Janis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rifelaw]

Laurel decided the name of the show was actually The Old Gray Whistle Range Test.

[@milankunos1425]

Szóval innen jön a Macskafogó.

[@hpapline]

Igen. Sajnos a Macskafogó amerikai változatából a négy gengszter dalt kivágták.

[@大久保明-t7n]

この時期がベスト！！

[@kenlee5509]

WOOT!

[@paiopone]

Nobody like them 💗

[@beniegyud7558]

Különben mehetünk vissza a balettbe ugrálni...

[@peterbene6920]

Az később volt... de számomra sokkal jobb is :)

[@tdoyr]

Apparently this is sung note for note with the original 4 brothers

[@wilberforceenterprises7259]

i presume the guy trying to get in on the act was ira newborn (who wrote the great "police squad" / "naked gun" theme)?

[@cargo71]

He wasn´t that bad. Not at the level of the group, but he sang his part pretty well!

What style

[@Shellinois]

What beats Laurel's high note at the end of this performance?

[@charliepv2]

terrific!

[@hellogoodbye637]

Was that a whistle tone??

[@rifelaw]

@@hellogoodbye637 Yes. Yes it was.

[@csababekesi-marton2393]

Thats an a''' (Helmholtz) or A6 (scientific) = 1760 Hz. Really terrific. And beautiful, of course :)

[@vonbabasin9544]

Sorry - this was NOT a Woody Herman song... it was written by the great Jimmy Giuffre and Woody's 'Second Herd' recorded it... as a result, the Second Herd became known as the Four Brothers Band but I have a version recorded by Giuffre in my father's orchestra, the Harry Babasin Orchestra, in 1948 at Jubilee...

[@johndipinto4084]

It was a hit for Woody Herman's band though, which is how most people would know it. It's not unheard of for people to introduce songs via their well known interpreters rather than by their writers.

[@jas026able]

MT brought me to Woody Herman and the 2nd Herd (those hallowed saxters). The 2nd Herd brought me to the Thundering Herd, etc., etc. The great continuum.

[@BrianRoberson-k7g]

This makes me want to smoke cigarettes and drink whiskey.
