The idea on Tonin' was to turn the Manhattan Transfer loose on a baker's dozen of good old 1960s pop and R&B hits in league either with the original artists or prominent guests from that period and beyond. And yes, it's a stellar list, guaranteed to stir warm and fuzzy memories, and the tunes echo the old lament of an earlier age, "They don't write songs like they used to." ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide
A stellar assembly of famous guests contribute to this 1994 recording of classic pop standards. quot;Groovin'quot; is a duet between tenor singer Alan Paul and Felix Cavaliere, the song's composer. The late Laura Nyro, writer of quot;La-La Means I Love You,quot; duets with soprano Cheryl Bentyne; Janis Siegel, alto, gets her turn with Bette Midler, on quot;It's Gonna Take a Miracle.quot; Phil Collins steps forward with bass vocalist Tim Hauser to sing quot;Too Busy Thinking About My Baby.quot; Other highlights: quot;The Thrill Is Gone,quot; with B.B. King and Ruth Brown, and quot;God Only Knows,quot; arranged by Mervyn Warren of Take 6! [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]
