The Mighty Manhattans featuring the great Gerald Alston on lead vocals and their awesome bass singer, "Blue" Lovett. Even though they had some smash hits, i.e. "Shining Star", I still feel that they were a bit under rated. A great group!

I remember sitting in the dark at the Apollo and all of a sudden the white gloves appeared and The Manhattans sang “Can I”. They are truly a miracle in my life making me both smile and cry tears of joy that I was able to see them perform at the Apollo when I was in High School.

David Ruffin was a baritone. Gerald Alston is a tenor. Comparing their voices is like comparing apples to oranges.
