This was a song that Rod Tempertom wrote for Michael Jackson for Thriller. Michael recorded a demo for it but it was later scrapped from Thriller (Michael chose Baby Be Mine over this) and the Manhattan Transfer ended up covering it, and what a jam it was! 👏🏽

@ApartmentKing66 3 года назад

Not only is their harmony second to none, their showmanship is top-notch too. The way Janis looks directly into the camera just to her right, Cheryl taking over vocals for a few bars, her animated finger-snapping, they give you something to watch, not just listen to.

This is one of my favorite songs by MT. One of the best jazz vocal groups ever! Rod Temperton did songs for Michael Jackson, Karen Carpenter, and of course the Manhattan Transfer. Incredible. Janis Siegel and Team delivered a hit like no others.❤

@HypnoticHollywood Год назад

I didn't know Rod Temperton did this song, that explains why it sounds exactly like Michael Jackson's song Baby Be Mine.

@ethanang3527 Год назад

This is so as Spice Of Life is one of the songs shortlisted for Thriller album, Quincy gives a green light to this song, but Rod and MJ rejected it. If not Spice Of Life is Michael Jackson’s song in Thriller album.

I became aware of MT with "Chanson d'amour" in 1976, and "Birdland" shortly after that. But when I heard this in '83 - it was like someone had switched the light on. And here we are 39 years later in 2022 - and it's even more amazing than it was back then! Simply and utterly magnificent.
