4.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure, November 5, 2001
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
In this CD, the golden voiced Manhattan Transfer turn their attention to the world of Pop music. Combining their talents with such giants as Frankie Valli, Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson and Phil Collins (among others!), they give twelve hits their own wonderful spin.

Overall, I did not think that this was their best works; the songs did not show them at their best. However, that said, it is a good CD, one giving hours of listening pleasure. I highly recommend this CD.

By the way, the paperwork includes the words to the songs, plus one black-and-white picture of each of the four members. I love extras!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's simply fun!!, November 16, 1998
By A Customer
This Top Notch vocal group puts their "spin" on some classic R & B recordings. They are great at taking something already wonderful and making it even better!!

To make it even MORE fun they work really well with the guest artists! I think this was probably one of the, if not THE last recording that Laura Nyro made before she passed away. It's a great rendition of La-La Means I Love You.

Chaka Kahn and Janis Siegel really belt out a great version of "Hot Fun in the Summertime". As strong a presence as Chakka is... Janis Siegel holds her own with no problem!!

Speaking of summertime, I LOVE to listen to this CD while riding with windows all the way down on the way to the beach!!

You'll like this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars A real delight from start to finish!, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
There are so many wonderful pieces on this album, but for my money the song 'La La Means I Love You' with Laura Nyro is absolutely breathtaking. The song itself if probably one of the best R&B masterpieces ever written, and Laura's voice backed by the Transfer never fails to send chills up and down my spine. It's well worth the price of the album alone!

The opening track, Let's Hang On, written to be sung by a man to a woman, is re-arranged for a man/woman duet in a way that destroys the meaning of the lyrics. Read more
