Manhattan Transfer - Soul Food To Go

[@leefi1]

Still my favorite vocalists nearly 50 years after I bought their first album! This song makes me filled with joy...

[@ronfarley7452]

I don't know if it's just me, but this song puts me in a really good mood

[@maryella4140]

💖💕💖 THANK GOD FOR D'JAVON OF BRAZIL FOR WRITING THIS ONE WHEN STILL EARLY 20'S

Always!

[@martinh.7127]

Your not alone🕺😃

[@Ogbarber05]

From age 10 to now this song has never ever gotten old. Takes me back to childhood every time I hear it. Timeless classic personified.

[@terryg995]

1987 was a very good year for jazz music

[@rockgirlemilyavery]

Me too!!!

[@monicawright1803]

I was 16 when this song came out and I still love it!

[@rev.blakeevans3827]

GREAT CD when they sold CD's ....every track. Great song. Silly video. Makes you happy on a sunny Friday after work.....

[@Filmation77]

This was what black people would call "Grown Folks Music" and that's a big compliment. And I was grooving this when I was 16(maybe 14?)

[@rainituu2006]

I'm from Brazil and I listened this version before listening the original brazilian song. It's a great song. Great voices. It reminds me of a good time. I miss 90s so bad! My dad used to put this album on every little trip we had at 90s. Good song. Good times.

[@palmiraromero351]

,..., esta canción me trae recuerdos del verano ......

[@piousone]

I grew up listening to this song.

[@Larrymh07]

RIP, Tim Hauser.

[@pedropepe7859]

love how they shaped the lyrics to sound like the original song from Djavan

[@danricheson1362]

A joyful song that can reduce one to tears. Masterpiece.

[@farisasmith7109]

Since I was a kid this has been one of my favorite songs. Brings back memories .

[@ointia71]

Goodbye Tim Hauser. The Manhattan Transfer won't be the same without you. I'm glad I got to see you and the rest of the group in concert three times.

[@lanibrown2197]

This group was soooooo awesome. I love the Manhattan Transfer!!!!!

[@TheOnlyGuz]

The memories this song brings back.... the soundtrack of more relaxed times...

[@user-ps4eu1wd3q]

so good that it drives me to tears.

[@margiefischer8546]

We'll miss your genius arrangements, Tim. I know you know your Hip Hop never stop.

[@mlc2005]

I was 4 years old when this came out, and even back then, this song absolutely mesmerized me. It still does. Just utterly exquisite.

[@RMoribayashi]

VH-1's Sunday Brunch, A place to see Jazz and New Age videos. It didn't last long, but it made for some nice Sunday mornings. First place I saw videos by Manhattan Transfer, Enya and The Rippingtons.

[@deshunsmith2580]

Me too, remember it on VH-1 Sunday Brunch. Back in 1988.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I remember *"Sunday Brunch".* It was my favourite show on VH-1. It's a damn shame that it wasn't on the air. It was what made VH-1 great, the variety of music they played.

[@reneehoney7355]

When life was sooooooo wonderful.

[@rev.blakeevans3827]

1987 wow ! Those were happy years...

[@juanmanuelgranadosdavila4984]

You can feel the brazilian musical feeling (Djavan style).

[@fuosdi64]

This was way ahead of its time. The video and song.

[@RichardMichaelScott]

One of the best and a song that deserves a lot more attention. Stunner.

[@isabelbenebgui987]

Agree but the original son is 'Sina,' by the Brazilian singer & composer Djavan.

[@zibbyzubb]

Great tune. Reminds me of happier times.

[@redmoon9650]

Saw this on one of my dad’s tapes he recorded from VH1. If time machines existed I would take a trip back to the 80s. Seemed like an interesting time.

[@neriozulberti1492]

one way ticket for me please

[@rafaelcmvasquez]

FAMILIA... JAZZ IS THE MUSIC OF LIFE ✨️ ❤🙏❤

[@cathyshorts2972]

Oh yes Manhattan Transfer I love this song. I will never forget it was 1988 I was 20 yrs young honey and It was MTV where I first saw it and it was a hit. It was the best of times to be a young adult. This song and a lot of other songs from this time still warms my heart.

[@ASch-yy1xh]

Absolutely, 80s 👍, but Thank, s KZbin is the Time Machine only 1 Klick away... 😉

[@dewaynem559]

I remember when this was on MTV I wouldn't leave for work until it was over.

[@dan-jw5qp]

mein Vater hat das Lied immer mit mir zusammen angehört, einfach Nostalgie!!!

[@leonholt6075]

Janis Segal's launch-pad. One of THE premier vocal harmony groups!👍

[@Sincopare]

That one held note over two measures...DO YOU BELIEVE IN JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZ?

[@diannqueen7808]

Das erste Mal seit 30 Jahren gehört, und kann den Text noch 👍👍😁

[@rotas556]

The best Song of my life...

[@DanPat56]

The ache from what was and what could have been is dulled a bit when an artist brings something lovely to life, gives it breath, and animates it for our enlightenment. That song is one of those examples; I was in the middle of a horrible relationship dissolution and this song was the one thing that made me smile. Blessings to all, and may Tim Hauser rest in peace.

[@ROGER2095]

I was on an America West airplane that got stuck on the runway for 45 minutes and they played this video - and nothing else - over and over again while we were grounded.

[@trollman591]

I love their music. I have seen them twice in concert. Amazing.

[@gskirkanich]

The most feel good song ever. I love it more every time I hear it

[@BrianandSnoopy1]

When i first heard this song it made me want more of them and it made me a huge MT fan. and back then i had a huge crush on Janis :)

[@elizabethpama9]

[@ricardoabaddelossantos4008]

Today, suddenly, I remenbered this song and I don't know why, but it made my day a little more easy and happy.

[@sabritebourski9486]

One of the best american band

[@darcybrummett7004]

This video was how I was introduced to them.

[@reneehoney7355]

The sang so beautifully. Miss the 80s better music better people sorry. Lovely. I liked me better too.

[@jamespykonen4017]

back in 1994 cupids arrows missed their target until i listened to soul food to go and heard: do you believe in chance instead of do you believe in jazz. well the former encouraged me to talk up my co-worker soon her and i where dating which makes this song so much more special even though i know the true lyrics. thank you manhattan transfer you are the best.

[@SADMANMUSIC35]

I been trying to remember this song for a long time. As a kid I really was into this song and the video.

[@barbarossa1234]

I saw them in concert in Chicago in 87. It was a spiritual experience.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

What I like, besides the Manhattan Transfer singing this song, is the video. I love how someone made an animated version of themselves singing the song. genius. :)

[@lindaeasley4336]

Great song ! Knew of Manhattan Tranfer since the late 70s . I bought this album when Soul Food to Go was released. It was played on an easy listening pop radio station at the time . Very catchy and uplifting

[@JillCheese]

I'll never forget this song while I'm on this earth. I was in one of the darkest places in my life. This song was the only one that made me feel a fleeting hope until Jesus saved me! Still makes me happy!

[@donnabillen2407]

Darn, WE were young then 😊😊😇😇. Manhattan TRANSFER came out, and I LOVED the MESSAGE.

[@michaelleroy9281]

I first saw this video on MTV in 1988

[@davidchesed6088]

[@gudrunambre2714]

Supertolles Lied. Ich liebe es noch immer. Echt zeitlos

[@cathyshorts2972]

Love, love, love Manhattan Transfer the best vocals ever. And Soul Food To Go is still the jam.

[@Dharzjinion]

I remember back when this song was in the charts and I hated it, it annoyed the heck out of my pubescent ego. Today... I love it dearly and I'd give everything to go back to those days.

[@hardmanners]

Makes one feel good, doesn't it? Life is beautiful. I love it.

[@koolpopjones6499]

This was a BET Video LP, Video Vibrations, Video Soul classic

[@annfischer3947]

[@joandechirico5548]

Legend ❤❤❤

[@rolffreund6083]

Best Video in the 80´s

[@tjn9435]

I remember seeing this when it first was aired. I am telling on myself now!!!

[@darcybrummett7004]

+TJ “Crochetwoman” N This is how I first heard of them.

[@raredodge]

Fun Fact: When this album came out in the late 80's this was the only MT video to be played on MTV.

[@anthonyb.corrales4470]

How's that? MTV started 84?

[@anthonyb.corrales4470]

Ahhh sorry I got it wrong. Yes maybe the only MT video

[@marcusrob02]

They didn't have "Ray's Rockhouse" on rotation in 1985?

[@ralfapple]

One of my favorite songs ... ever ...

[@irispereyra4780]

This bring so many great memories, thank you for the upload!

[@harpergras]

Every song they did was awesome.

[@BG-su6gx]

[@1928missbliss]

Liked them first time Andy Williams had them on his TV show in the early 70s -- have enjoyed their music since

[@matteo2211]

such a creative way to arrange a song, with those figures. Great. And the combination of instrumentals and voices - just great!
