Editorial Reviews

As they constantly tour America, The Manhattans, featuring Gerald Alston and Blue Lovett along with Troy May and David Tyson continue to bring stellar legacy to the stage. With all time hits such as “Kiss and Say Goodbye” and “Shining Star” along with numerous other hits, there is no doubt that The Manhattans are here to stay. The Manhattans have a 1980 Grammy for “Shining Star”, as well as their share of platinum and gold singles and albums. In 1999 they were inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame. With their single “Turn Out the Stars”, which features jazz saxophone great Gerald Albright, The Manhattans take a country music standard and turn it into a Mainstream Classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Manhattans-"Even Now", October 6, 2003

I have been a Manhattans' Fan for about 24 years, so I feel I know them and their music. I love the new CD, because it's just classic Manhattans style. Gerald's smooth lead vocals always sends you into a trance. My favorite on the CD is "Turn Out The Stars". The background vocals and that horn has a beautiful smooth jazz feel.I just put the CD player on repeat, and listen to it over and over again. I also like "Just Love Me Right", "Nites Like This", the title tune, "Even Now", "How Much More?", and "I Got It Right". You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turn Out the Stars is Amazing!, April 25, 2005

I heard a special on XM Radio's Soul Street channel a few days ago, and Gerald & Blue of the Manhattans dropped by to talk with the DJ. The discussion eventually came around to this album, and they played "Turn Out the Stars", which I actually had not heard until then. I listened to it in complete awe, it is truly an amazing performance by one of the great classic soul groups. "Turn Out the Stars" alone is worth the price of the disc, which I hurried out and bought later the same day. I can't stop playing it. This tune is a monster! Gerald's soulful, emotion-charged vocals stand out on this cut above all the others.

All I can say is get this disc and you'll be as awed as I was on this particular cut.

This is one of the most mature and emotionally uplifting of the Manhattans' sound.
