Ages: When this was performed Laurel Masse was 26, Tim Hauser was 36, Janis Segal was 25 and Alan Paul was 28.
I adored this band as a kid in the 70s and it led me directly into becoming a jazz singer myself. 🥰
The Transfer gave their final performance yesterday at the Disney Hall, wrapping up a 50 year career.
Hello, guys! Thank you so much for all of your support and appreciation for this video!
The beautiful Laurel Masse.
OMG! Tim was rapping before rap came out. These guys got overloaded when God was dishing out the talents. Incredible voices own their own, then together, OMG! an angelic choir. So heavenly.
The Great Manhattan Transfer, talent talent talent. Young singers watch and learn. It takes incredible rehearsal to be as cool as they are and as polished. No autotune blah blah blah, just excellence.
I love Cheryl, but OMG! Laurel was incredible.❤👍👍👍
What a woman!! Laurel in "Heart's Desire"
I’m really happy to see/hear Laurel Masse live.
me at age 20 in 2010, got my first LP player and was going to our local record store. found that lp with the beautiful black and white cover in the shelve. never heard of that band, but judging by the cover it must be good, i thought. the music in it was even better. damn, i love this group.
One of the true and pure pleasures in life is listening to Manhattan Transfer...just fabulous.
Singing Four Brothers is so, so hard. First of all, to learn it. Then to get the right notes while moving so fast. Also, to stay in tune on all those notes. Tim Hauser had the hardest part, and I think even he went off a little bit. If you can sing this, you can sing anything!
Cannot believe how much I smiled all the way through this! 4 extremely talented solo artists without the egos. Fantastic!
My husband and I saw them perform at the Waldorf Astoria back in the mid 70's and they were so great!
OMG -- what a PHENOMENON -- absolute perfection!!
The Four Brothers performance was incredible. Foreshadowed their great vocalese songs.
I just love Michigan girl Laurel Masse to pieces.
They look and sound amazing. The band is tight. What a performance.
Terrific time capsule that show cases the Transfer at their peak. This really is an incredible live performance. 4 superb vocalists and perfect 4 part harmonies. Amazing to think they were celebrating the music of the 1940s in 1977- it's now 2022 and almost 50 years since this performance- they were actually so much closer in time to the 40s than the present day. I just couldn't imagine the same nostalgia today for the music of 30 years ago!
