The Manhattan Transfer - 'Sometimes I Do' - The Junction

[@inthemixxtvseries]

Totally Refreshing! Love this Group!!

[@michaellazzeri2069]

Alan Paul's smooth voice is perfection here. The perfect blend of 4 voices , RIP Tim Huaser.

[@BustahSchmooze]

These lyrics bring back oh so many memories.

[@johnbrabson960]

Another MT classic! Harmonically channeling the great Singers Unlimited songs of the 70s. Happy 50th to the greatest vocal group of our era!

[@vinsmagic]

this is when music was music ,,,,,,,,, with wonderful harmonies

[@jameslacey460]

Bosa Nova is already the single greatest rhythm ever and nothing is closer than a distant second -- and never will be. To weave a haunting melody like this one through an already irresistible rhythm as magical as bosa produces a tune you can't hear enough. You have to play it over and over and over and that's never enough either. WOW. What else can you say? Thank you MERVIN WARREN for a simply magnificent tune. K....RAZY resolution.

[@Dantzler126]

James Lacey well said!

[@Christelizn]

This is the best thing I've heard in years. Just purchased entire album and can't wait to explore it. Except I can't stop playing this song over and over and over and over. Perfection.

[@equesfuscus]

A reminder what musicianship is.

[@Wolfsky9]

It would never have happened had Tim hauser not had the dream, & the determination to stay with it until he found Janis, Laurel, & Alan. --------------Thank-you, MT for everything. ---------To Tim Hauser, THE most heartfelt gratitude. RIP, Dear Brother. --------------------------------WolfSky9

[@jimschulte7957]

I love this! Fabulous arrangement!! 👍😎

[@nigelrichardson4327]

*This song is addicting*

[@darylharvey772]

You know not to poo poo other vocal groups of late such as The New York Voices , Pentatonix, Naturally 7 , Take 6, and others but The Manhattan Transfer are still the tops when it comes to vocal artistry in the vein of accapella and instrumental backed vocals. This song and others proves that they still are the best.

[@chrisblunt1179]

Please know that harmonization and instrumentation are two different things... while MT can harmonize with the best of them, Take 6 can do both... not many groups can do that.

[@larkt6693]

XM radio Watercolors brought me here lol ❤️

[@robertthomas8653]

Same here, although I actually heard MT many, many years ago. But there's just a ton of music that I may not have heard had it not been for Watercolors. The best money I spend every month!

[@slmemoric9740]

Srdačan pozdrav bog amazing

Just heard this on the radio and had to research. And I knew that was Manhattan Transfer. I am a big fan got most of their CD"s and dont know how this catchy tune got past me...:). They are so Smooth and I really miss them dearly.

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

Shit! I think I just lost my man-ness. This song actually makes me want to tear up with goosebumps. I love it.

[@isabelneto5278]

Very pleasant. Thanks

My heart breaks every time I hear this. A lover rekindled a relationship after 30 years and broke my heart again 💔😢❤️

[@iwilli9448]

I just bought the CD "The Junction" today in Amazon and I can't stop listening 😊.

[@basedddog]

[@TheBlueDrums]

Jeneen Buchanan Hey bro

[@jamesamerson9481]

I have not read the liner notes but the arrangements sound like classic MT......their voices still make my heart happy.

[@larryrossi309]

MT at their best, Bossa Nova is supreme!

[@lking3024]

MT vibe is iconic

[@monicafurlan8940]

Che dire... Emozionante!!

[@61kimmarie]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@johnhunter377]

Vocoder...Or vocal harmony.... this is mesmerizing to say the least.

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

Wow! Great tune, thanks for share it! Tras casi diez años desde su último trabajo, y con Trist Curless reemplazando a Tim Hauser, reaparece este año Manhattan Transfer con un álbum dedicado a la figura de Hauser que ya esta en el 30 del 'Smooth Jazz Songs' del Billboard desde esta semana. En la nueva formación se mantienen Alan Paul, Cheryl Bentyne y Janis Siegel que incorporan a Curless, el nuevo álbum se titula "The Junction" y nos invita a disfrutar de sus diez temas que marcan un nuevo comienzo para el grupo. #NOWandThen #JazzVocals

Debuted in my weekly personal chart on February 25, 2018 edition :)

[@69kellygreen]

WOW

[@Dave.IO_]

So smooveeeee

[@hansumjoe]

This may sound weird but it seems the mixing of the chorus is tighter. The phrasing is so exact, it’s more like one voice than 4

[@hughvane]

Agreed. if its not sacrilegious to say so, they sound more than a little like The Real Group in jazz mode, or Singers Unlimited. That said, this group could have turned its extraordinary talent to almost any musical genre. 'A Nightingale Sang ...." is an excellent example of mixed musical metaphors.

[@nathanadams2452]

That's because it's a Mervyn Warren joint.

[@cjheaford]

I’m sure modern technology has a hand at play here. It’s nothing for a computer to quantize these vocal tracks and tighten them up. No shame in it. Everyone does it.

[@auregar9184]

Non hai fatto in tempo ad ascoltarla So che ti sarebbe piaciuta molto. Tu amavi questo tipo di melodie.Chissa' in Paradiso ! Ciao Mamma❤️

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

I know what you mean. My mom also liked this type of music. I wish she could hear this with me together. Riposa in pace mamma. Mi manca a sai, a sai, a sai.

[@auregar9184]

[@Nostaljack]

This song is amazing and the harmonies would likely be incredible...if it weren't for the absolutely stifling autotune employed to make them happen. How is no one hearing it? There's also a lot...like, a lot...of comp'ing on Alan's lead...along with the autotune. This is the Manhattan Transfer. Why was autotune used so liberally on them of all groups?

[@jameslacey460]

Sorry to disagree with your hearing. You can Google this LIVE at any number of MT appearances and the harmonies are unchanged LIVE. Now does the studio have the ability to sharpen the voice? Of course. Makeup helps the woman but it doesn't take anything away from her when it's removed (unless you buy books just because of their covers). Google their various LIVE performances of this; I predict you'll have a change of heart.

[@mirunok5210]

[@boptillyouflop]

What's with the vocoder-like sound?

[@BrennanYoung]

pure musical discipline. They really are that tight.

[@Nostaljack]

It's autotune. Glad someone else has heard it.

[@justfuntimedoingnothing8477]

If I were blind person, I wish I was a sniper

[@leonelcastrodambrosio]

autotune?

[@gersonpontes3229]

Hummm

[@jeffschulz6733]

Why?Why?Why? Ruin this with auto tune? This isn’t the Manhattan Transfer I know. It’s way too “homogenous”.

[@Nilson211]

a little too vocoder-like. Much prefer to the raw voice sound.

[@LMmccallL57]

Beautiful!
